I had a Probe as a Demo back in 89. It was ok. At the time everyone looked at it because it was so different but in terms of driving it was just another FWD 4 cylinder car.

I have absolutely no shame saying I really enjoyed the hell out of owning several beat up 5spd V6 Mustangs, the stick made them worth it in every way. They were a dime a dozen (translation: CHEAP), real easy to work on if you knew what you were doing, reliable and actually fun to drive as far as boring daily drivers go. GT's were always a little too nice to have beaten to death in the parking lot at work.

Picked up a '98 Cobra ragtop to take to cars shows in S Fla. This thing is a BLAST to drive, especially with the top down. I've been up-grading it; Flowmaster axle-back, new progressive springs, new shocks (there's 6, all had lost their nitrogen gas), aluminum driveshaft, 3-row radiator, MSD plug wires, new steering wheel, Pioneer digital in-dash looks factory & uses existing amps & speakers, all fluids changed. Only major fix: the hydoboost brake booster needed rebuilding (powered by power steering fluid, not vacuum). Doesn't need it but will do a clutch soon...29,700 miles!

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Glad to here another one has an owner that cares for it!

I was looking for a car for racing in Targa events in New Zealand back in 2010. I found a 96 Cobra which was an ex-Japan car which already had a cage, race seats, modified bilsteins etc in it. I bought it for the equivalent of around $9k usd. Since then I have done over 20,000 mostly race miles on it and modified it reasonably heavily but without touching engine internals. The Cobra of 96-97 was the pick of the bunch of the SN95 in my opinion. Very easy to make better with lowered and stiffened suspension, upgraded brakes etc, although the standard Cobra brakes are pretty good anyway. And the best part about them is the sound. Pull the rear mufflers off and they are one of the best sounding Mustangs ever. I also have a 2000 Gt that has many of the same mods done but just doesn't sound as good, have just sold a 2011 Coyote GT, also lowered, and have just recently bought a 2022 Series 2 RTR which I absolutely love.

Hey Tony. Nice informational video on this particular era. Couple of things though. The 3.8 liter only had 145hp and the 98 4.6 was upgraded to 225hp. If I can make a suggestion, when giving the historical information on these cars, maybe throw in a little more personal perspective as you’ve owned them. For instance, your decision process in purchasing, modifications you might have done, how it compared to other mustangs you’ve owned, etc.

Never happened. Ford did allow some body shells to be purchased but they were just painted shells that had failed paint inspection after a second trip down the line. So they were not assembled in the sense that they had glass, trim, bumpers or any wiring or interior components. Let alone being anything close to. a“ roller” these body shells were sold as is and were on wooden skids that allowed them to be moved around with a hi-Lo.

Yup, everybody wants a Fox body or a Terminator these days. The 94 didn't sway me back in the day, it's a better car but, the earlier fox kicked its ass to the kerb, at least straight line and mod friendly wise. In the same spot today, Like the s550 but, love my 2014 GT.

[@spindash64]

Funny enough, the "bubbly" appearance arguably makes it more visually similar to the P-51 that inspired the series name, which was notoriously smooth and low drag

[@COBRO98]

The muffin-top appearance is what makes the 94-04 the best modern looking Mustang. Right balance of sport & classic looks. They're certainly the best sounding.

[@mikeabney1214]

You forgot that in 96 Ford dropped the vacuum power brake booster for a hydroboost system on all V8 cars. This was because the modular engines were much wider and there was a clearance issue with the brake booster canister.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I had that set up on my 95 GTS which was a 5.0 Liter. I'm not sure when that change came in exactly. I still see these cars as undervalued in the market.

[@salesposito2290]

Also, forgot to mention, while I do feel handling, ride, and braking was improved over the previous Fox, the reason the Mustang community is generally less enthusiastic about the 94-98s was their lackluster acceleration at the time compared to the Fox (due to the weight gain), and currently the rounded jelly bean 90s styling that hasn’t aged so well. Sorry for the long rant. Lol

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I get it that said I think that styling might see a resurgence at some point and neither the SN-95 nor the early Foxes were that quick, a couple tenths here or there isn't that much of a difference.

[@salesposito2290]

True, but the difference is the performance of those early foxes was in context for their time. By the time the mid-90s hit, cars were expected to be faster. A 94-98 GT was putting out 0-60 and quarter mile times no faster than an 85 GT. @@TonysFordsandMustangs

[@midnight347]

Great video but i have some knit picking to do of it. The sn95 94-04 are NOT "fox bodies" they are on a modified fox chassis which i know is what you mean but they arent "fox bodies" that was a name for 79-93 body style. Just like 80s tbird and cougar ltd and other cars on the fox chassis arent "fox bodies" either again that is a name for 79-93 mustang body style. It causes confusion when ppl call everything on a fox chassis "fox bodies." With that said i appreciate you shining light on the sn95 platform. Fox bodies have became trendy these days and they have went into collector territory with their ridiculous pricing. The sn95 cars are better in every way other than weight but they dont weigh that much more.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. The first car built on the Fox Platform was a Fairmont. The name itself came from an internal memo considering the Audi Fox as Ford's target and competition. I consider all cars built on that platform as fox bodies or fox bodied cars. Just as a car built on the Panther platform is a Panther bodied car I understand you think differently but I think this is a matter of opinion more than fact and I don't see either side as right or wrong.

I have a 98 v6 5 speed manual. Completely stock and the rear wheel fitment is so ugly lol.

[@shoveI]

Wheels can be changed, offset can be changed, you can even put a new edge rear axle in it that moves the rear wheels out 20mm

[@zilksmooth]

I don't think the 2V SN95's are going to appreciate much because the 4.6 2V is 1) not very powerful and 2) not a great candidate for mods. The Windsors are easier to modify, the 3V and 4V are more powerful (you'll spend more modding a 2V to compete withe a 3V and 4V than just buying a Mustang with those motors). Furthermore, the Coyote, HEMI and LS motors are just better for going fast. So much better that they're in a different league. Now that doesn't make the 4.6 2V a bad motor, far from it (I have a '96 Cougar the that motor). So the the 4.6 2V is cheap, extremely reliable, easy to work on and somewhat quick, but don't buy one expecting it to appreciate or take on any of those other motors. If you can find one relatively unmodded and well taken care of, it would be a cheap entry into classic cars and it should;t break the bank.

Thanks for watching and for your comment. I understand what what you saying but I would point out that people said that about the 1st gen 6 cylinders back in the day and those cars are no longer cheap.

[@mlwilliam213]

I don’t think the SN95 will ever be as popular as the old Foxbody. They just don’t look as cool. They’re not bad, just that the old 5.0 Fox and the New Edge were better looking. I always thought of the original SN95 as kind of girly for some reason.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Time will tell. I could 67-68's all day for a few hundred dollars in 80's and early 90's. Foxbodies were near worthless in the early 2000's.

[@newfie-dean5803]

What looks girly are the ones since 2015. I wish Ford would get rid of that styling all together. They simply don’t look right and in convertible form they look terrible.

[@Me-eb3wv]

The SN95 is literally the most affordable sporty car a car guy can have in 2024. Every other car that was supposed to be an affordable fun car has been abused that the only ones that remain go for $15k+ A beat up GTI with 180k will set you back $7k, and one in decent condition will cost you $15k. I find GTIs interesting but I’m not a fan of them to justify spending that much for one from 2009. Same could be said about every other hot hatchback and cheap Japanese sports cars.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I completely agree. They are not that difficult or expensive to work on either. Thanks for watching!

[@DominatorGarage]

The 94/5’s are rising in value etc. the 96-8 aren’t as much but 99-04 are holding theirs

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching and your comment. Still all of them are less than most Foxbody cars at this point in time. I do see that changing as the Foxbody cars values rise these should be next in line. I don't have a crystal ball but that's how I see it.

[@danlove4270]

A small block powered v8 mustang is a performer yet a Fox body looks cheap---rattling dashboards and cheap plastic

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

They were cheap when compared to other cars of the day. That said you get rattles in every car over time. The materials that were used to dampen sound break down and just don't do the job anymore. Thanks for watching!

[@starrdogchamp1]

i agree as long as you buy the 94/95 and 97 up or the cobra or some other special model with more power. the 94/95 have a 5.0 engine that is easier and more responsive to modify. the 97 and up had 260 and the cobra 305 hp. the 96 had only 215 hp and the performance just isnt there. plus it cost way too much to modify and you will probably get 300 hp? just not worth it. in my opinion having owned a 96 saleen stay away if it isnt a higher hp model. skip 94 and up, anything GT and get the cobra or mach 1 or terminator. the engine is great and reliable but you can get that with a honda or toyota, a mustang is about performance and the sn95 mustang GT just doesnt have it.

[@therealjoshtodd]

dude, the fox mustangs have ALWAYS been popular, even when the SN95 was the current bodystyle. Hell even when the S197 came out, the fox was still hot. The SN95 has NEVER been "hot" (unless you count the very niche terminator cobra, and maybe the 2 cobra R models, but those are just specialty in general) and I've had 3 of them, so I'm not exactly a hater. Maybe I'll eat my words in 10 years, but I just don't see any SN95 outside of a cobra being worth anything, and even the cobra it'll have to be a low mile very clean example

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I have to disagree. The SN95 sales numbers speak for themselves and the FOX #'s trailed off quite a bit near the end of production. The 87-93 Fox GT's could be had for next to nothing on the used market when the SN95 first appeared on the scene and have only in the last 10 years have really started to be appreciated by the collector market. As with many things what is old is new again. That will be the fate of the SN-95's as well. As soon as most of the nice 1st gen foxbody's are snapped up and locked away by collectors people will look for an alternative that isn't priced out of their market range. That's when the SN-95's prices will start to escalate especially the Cobra's.

[@runoflife87]

Ford guys were damn stupid when engineering that gen Mustang. They already had very good MN12 platform suitable for pony cars too, still the Mustang got instead dated Fox undepinnigs. Such a damn shame.

[@michaelsimko7694]

I've never been a fan of the exterior styling on the SN95. It was a time when Ford was going overboard with their "bubble design", and the SN95 looked more economical than the last few years of the original Fox Body. Ford did a good job with the New Edge. It was a smoother, cleaner exterior design that had a more muscular look than the SN95.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I like those cars when they are optioned correctly. They will be the next Mustang to become collectible. Some of the New Edge cars are getting there now. The Cobras and Mach 1's are already climbing in price. Thanks for watching

[@mike4fo]

Everything is better than fox but the styling is horrendous.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

As time passes more people will become nostalgic for the look. Once that generation gets closer to retirement they will want one and the price will go up. That's what's happening to foxes now. I was never fan of the 87 -93 GT but there are a lot of people who love them.

[@petrolhead8851]

I feel like they’re better looking than a fox! Foxbody’s to me are hideous but can be made to look sick too

[@Roger-fs5yo]

The words "high performance" shouldn't be in the same paragraph as this car. While I do agree they are good looking cars and have a certain amount of coolness to them. The question that needs to be answered is WHAT was ford thinking, when they made this? These thing's was slower than a mustang 2🤯

[@LugerBrasil]

This does not looks like a mustang. More like a 1991 mitsubish eclipse.

[@nathancrossley8210]

Useless people in the United States Hey Guys YOU CAN DO THIS IN YOUR DRIVEWAY noone has time or a driveway

[@fredfuchs3573]

No offense but I was wondering if you could get me some crak cause you are obviously smoking it if you think their better than the 79 to 93 just saying

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

No Crack here. It's the same Platform but with improved rigidity. Ford did spend 700 Million dollars to improve the car and it did indeed become a better handling and riding car. Looks wise is debatable but in the handling department it was a better car.

[@G.M85007]

No offense but it looks like your the one smoking crack. Sn95 Better brakes, handles better, better interior, if fox body are better why fox people take parts from sn95 to fox bodys?? 5 wheels logs, cobra brakes, etc. By the way I currently own 1987 mustang gt , a 1994 svt cobra and a 2020 gt 10 speed so yea I know for person fact. I'll take my 94 svt cobra ant time over a foxbody.

[@byronlocklear91]

The sn95 is light years ahead of the fox. I love the looks of the fox but dang they ride like crap. I have a 95 cobra and 93 cobra. 95 is definitely put together better than the fox.

[@COBRO98]

They're superior to the foxbody in every single way, the chassis is 70% stronger to begin with. It makes no sense to build a foxbody because the entire car needs to be redone just to handle 300hp, they flex like cardboard. For Christ's sake they have 4 lug nuts..

[@kellyblack4897]

As an S550 owner and an S650 owner I can tell you that’s not a Mustang. It’s a MOMstang. Most of them were front wheel drive V6 junk. You have to be kissing me with this 💩

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Ford never made a FWD Mustang.

[@COBRO98]

I'll be sure to laugh at you the next time I dog walk an s197/s550 that costs 3-4x as much as my Cobra. Every single time I drive it I get compliments at every stop light, people take pictures/videos and roll down their windows just to hear the 4.6L 4v. Best sounding small-block there is.

[@chuckselvage3157]

I don't like the first half they look cheap and bland.The new edge were improved a bit though.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

To each his own. I think they look great if equipped correctly.

[@casscountyrebel]

Which is ironic because it's consensual in the Mustang community that the new edge cars were cheapened up, especially in the interiors. Lower quality seat, door panel and dash material. Not saying they were bad cars, but the cost cutting by Ford was apparent.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

@@casscountyrebel I would prefer they cheapen what I can see and leave the $$ in the driveline. :)

[@nathancrossley8210]

I was told to buy a V8 instead of weld my own floors. If the Car has Rot Buyer Beware. If the community was helpful I would still have my Atlantic blue 98 But instead people crushed 100,000 vipers. You people are useless car is also trash anyone car but it. Why it was a realistic goal Even for me. It's a terrible car and if more people are going to be buying these to put hello kitty on the side then you will be priced out of the need of transportation or hobby like with a Mazda Miata. Times have changed I can't take the fenders off a 32 ford to go faster. HISTORY
