HYPED to have you guys in house this week 👏🖤

[@negativeindustrial]

“If you can’t find the right tool in Oakes garage, Mr California,…”

[@DJProlificNYC]

LETS GOOO!

[@urdoneson46]

i’m excited for this collab.

[@noke1785]

THAT was the surprise of the week !!

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

Big ups to you for opening your doors to the boys. This is going to be EPIC.

[@lanceward540]

I personally think it'd be better to find one in rougher shape and go crazy on it.

[@inzydar2869]

but they dont have the time for a ultra rough spaped car, but i agree :)

[@that1993mustang]

Idk about that one😅😅

[@phoenix__568]

Me and my dad did something like it but we didn’t do anything super crazy with the motor besides stripping it down to the block and boring it out 6 over and we put a cam 302 in it so it chops now and sounds amazing. The car has so much torque in 1st gear that it wants to jump 😂. The car is amazing we still haven’t tuned the engine and I can’t even imagine what kind of horsepower it has now!

[@kerryhoward804]

Exactly I can't watch anymore

[@Scrapla1]

YES! Keep these cars stock and go crazy and the shit boxes!

[@MR021_]

Was my dad's, was hard letting go . Look after her ❤

[@danielcombs5286]

You wouldn't sold it if it was hard letting it go. I have my father inlaws 2005 Suzuki d1000 vsteom...won't sell it for nothing and I only knew the guy for 10 years.

[@kapothegod]

@@danielcombs5286we don’t know how much he sold it for or what his personal situation was at the time man. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for yourself and your family

[@danielcombs5286]

@@kapothegod so 2 things....1st there is a pretty good chance that the person who posted this is full of shit, 2nd...if you love something enough you wouldn't let it go. It's simple.

[@kapothegod]

@@danielcombs5286 1st you could be completely right i didn’t think of that😂😂 and 2nd he could’ve loved it but who knows what else was goin on. maybe a family memeber needed medical funds, maybe his shop was on the verge of closing, who knows. i get where you’re coming from bc i would never ever get rid of my mustang but if it was a choice of the mustang or money to save a loved one it would have to go sad as it is to say

[@GameOver321]

@@danielcombs5286 gotta agree. My 2013GT500 is never leaving...at any price.

[@ColeMarkusen]

Dang, that thing is pristine. Almost a shame to modify it but looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

You know the boys are going to do it justice. It's Mickey and a white Mustang, he has one on his resume already!

[@richardlapoint1845]

Yeah this has got to be the cleanest fox I've seen recently

[@rosspayne88]

Yeah it really seems like they could have found a better car to tear apart and modify. This one should've been left alone.

[@andrewsargent3874]

​@@rosspayne88I completely agree. There are so many clean examples that have been modified just a bit they could have gotten. There can't be many out there like this. It's a piece of history that should be left intact.

[@damianlindsey6177]

​@@andrewsargent3874it's nothing but a fox 5.0. hell, we have 4 in the yard and two are very low mile examples. The Svo is the lowest mile one we have and is almost completely stock but still looks as it did in 1986. Minus a killer stereo and turbo upgrade. Stock turbos were really tiny

[@spaiderisLTU]

As a fan of these cars, don't mess it up guys, just make it faster refresh paint and interior wheels and that's it, you don't have to put alot of carbon or wide body kit! Keep it simple, but hey I have hope for you to make it better, so I will definitely going to follow this series!

[@mickeymang6]

That interior is mint.

[@doublerrated6735]

WA WA WA WA

[@CorpseExplosion]

This thing actually seems too good to be a project car.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Exactly.. To be really honest that car looks perfectly fine to me as it is original really hard to find one today in such good preservation condition inside-out and with all accessories & papers even the dealer window stiker..? damn ! if they will slam 'it to the ground they will totally ruin it, btw i'm European..

[@amirazhar8229]

​@@poplaurentiu4148well they have less time so they have to.

[@skateecho]

Oh man! The collab we needed and the car we didn’t know we deserved! Really excited for the fox body! Big fan of those and that’s a beautiful example. Excited to see what you guys got for it!

[@JBanez07]

Cleanest stock foxbody I've ever seen!!! The most I would do are wheels and tires but otherwise, I'd keep it stock.

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

I love the turbine wheels

[@zechbazzano911]

And the ashtray door still works, this car is pristine.

[@jonathandomoleczny5856]

The collab I didn't know I needed! This is awesome, would be great to see more of these collab-builds.

[@ste11ar]

seeing you guys mod cars that you have an emotional attachment to are great -- quinn's reaction in the car and mickey's rundown in the cockpit made me appreciate this video more. keep it up throtl!

[@macarronewitchis]

I think that if you leave the rear lights and window as they are know, the car would be cooler.

[@farewell_to_normalcy9352]

I had an ‘89 GT that was black with red interior and it was an absolute blast. Granted back in the early 00’s the aftermarket support wasn’t near what it is now. But nonetheless, great cars! Almost a shame to tear into this unmolested car but I’m sure the end results will be great as usual Fun fact the 5.0 from this era was actually just shy of being a true 302. It was more like a 301. But Ford bumped the liter number to keep the 5.0

[@mikemiller8170]

You're thinking of the liter designation. The engine displaces 301.6 cubic inches (rounds to 302...), but only 4.94 liters. So it's technically a 4.9 liter. Many magazines back in the day loved to call it a 4.9L in their tests. Ford called it a 5.0 to separate it from the 300 straight 6 which was also referred to by Ford as their 4.9L engine.

[@michael_graper]

Seeing Mickey talk about Jimmy's builds made me happy

[@adanm9750]

I opened KZbin and my heart just dropped, my grandfather was gifted a 1985 ford mustang that looked just like this. He unfortunately was unable to enjoy it much because he passed away in 1985 during the earthquake in Mexico, a building collapsed while he was parking in the underneath parking garage. I have been looking for one to fix up and give it to my mother as a gift, But it is really hard to find one that I can afford.I was literally on Facebook marketplace last night looking for one. I’m excited to see this build

[@Will_JJHP]

Fox bodies have a special place in my heart. I was brought home from the maternity ward in one. Love it!

[@manuellopezej1]

Shout out to Jimmy oaks for helping out the guys at throtl

[@biggestthreattoyourexistence]

Thank you Sunoco we appreciate the support. We know that you could spend your money on anybody but chose our favorite team Throtl.

[@Michael-kv2im]

So siiiiiick!!!! Crazy I’m seeing this cuz I just pulled the cover off my dads super rare mint 93 mustang cobra, teal blue, black interior and sunroof yesterday. He’s been hiding it under a carport for like 10 years now untouched covered. Was afraid the rats got to it but luckily not a single thing wrong. Waiting for the better weather (tomorrow) to drain the old gas and get it ready to run again.

[@bonthanroeun1313]

I want jimmy oaks subscribers reach up go 1million by the end of the week .

[@jamessalter676]

Let's goooooo! I am stoked for this build! I thought I would never see a foxbody in Jimmy's garage. Thanks guys 😁

[@willjam465]

Absolutely love this color combo. That plaid tweed was the best in red. Wish I could find one like that. ‘89 was the year I graduated high school, so this year Mustang holds a special place with me.

[@xdavid.williamsx2446]

One of my top 5 favorite cars. Nice to see one so clean.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Foxbody was super underrated for the longest.

[@Lil_Crank]

I love spontaneousness. Spicing things up in the channel. Love to see it!

[@Weidjeep]

Man that interior is spotless.

[@remaudy6409]

I’m happy to see a big car KZbinr finally do some American muscle v8 work.

[@xchrisxwoodsx]

Crazy looking at the engine bay! It’s so clean and it looks like there’s no oxidation on the intake. I love it!

[@dailydriven991]

Don’t change those seats!! So perfect and they look super comfortable lol. I vividly remember my friends fox-body in high school when we discovered you could not load a cd into the player if the shifter was in any forward position 😂

[@Buckwired]

Haha. @3:04 That gas door popped open like a kitten starved for days chases down the food bowl before it is set down.

[@_MrRed_]

I love this type of mustang GT ❤ it’s one of my favourite car.

[@stanthegraniteman]

I had 2 foxbodies. A 91 triple white vert gt then traded that one in for 93 black gt. Back in the day when someone asked what you drive we said five point oh and everyone knew exactly which muSTANg we were referring to. My 93 had full suspension, full exhaust, 3:55’s , short throw shifter and cold air intake that car was super fun to drive.

[@quiksr20]

Man the Fox is the new retro car to build it seems.. That thing is showroom mint. Everyones doing a fox these days.. Then again you have so many options just like when it was the 90s.. You want pushrod live axle, you got it.. You want bolt in IRS and Twin Cam you got it.. So hard to find a clean un clapped out one these days just like E36s.. most are ruined or unattainable, cant wait to see this done.

[@Isaiahuntz]

The collab we've all been waiting for 🔥

[@SacCarScene]

This is going to be fun to watch. Love the 80's cars.

[@paull3325]

Pleasure to meet you Mr. Mickey!! Thank you for stopping by!!

[@Thatlowdsg]

One of the cleanest foxes I've seen. I love the late 80/s 90's white with red interior.

[@richardfarmer6570]

Cool to see you at Jimmies shop, looking forward to the build.

[@jayare4472]

That clean fox body mustang should’ve been auctioned off

[@davidyarbrough2197]

Jimmy Oakes is wild!!! I love him. He is the best!!

[@kristoffermangila]

Holy macaroni! An extremely clean Foxbody Mustang GT! Can't wait for the build (and the East Coast shenanigans!)

[@travisnoseworthy1482]

Finally old school American muscle all the love from east coast of Canada my favorite car a fox body mustang

[@Sheltur_0311]

the J O GARAGEEEEEEEEEE

[@UToobSteak]

My favorite era of Mustang ever. I have a 1982 LX that my uncle bought brand new. Still have the window sticker in the glove box. The 87 to 93's were my favorite though

[@user-uw1do2hb5s]

You know it’s a great car when everyone drives it with a big smile on there face 😎

[@mm8436]

Lmao that peel out in front of the shop.

[@pinoyplayr]

Excited to see what you guys do to this mustang. Hopefully it’s a resto mod and tasteful. Sad to see a piece of history get destroyed

[@YoBoyNero]

Man I love fox bodies ford just killed the design for it back in the 80’s

[@kevmt9056]

When I turned 16 my dad bought an 87 GT it was red, hardtop, 5 speed w gray interior. A couple of days before he passed away in 2021 I said "Dad I wanna thank you for buying me that car you have no idea how many girls I was able to pick up." So I have many many memories when I see those cars. Wish I could find one like that one in red tho

[@davehatzakorzian6994]

Wow you guys really found a gem. Really stoked to see all the work you guys are going to put into this.

[@aaronthomas2900]

It's about time y'all did a beautiful mustang! Hell yeah y'all!

[@salrizzo3016]

One of the best upgrades you could do is if you change the shifter, I don’t want they still make it they were called a pro shifter 5.0 shifter I had one on my GT, which was also an 89 but I had two tops

[@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5]

Back in the 80s, I had my 1975 280Z....your car was considered pretty fast if you could beat the Mustangs, IROCs and Corvettes back then! I did shortly thereafter get into the Mustangs and it was an addiction. The holy trinity of cars for me is a Porsche 911, Mustang and a Z (or Skyline). I like Corvettes but never owned one. Who knows maybe one day i'll do drop the hammer and get a vette and see what that's all about.

[@DarkKnight-ws3wx]

A 1989 Mustang 5.0 GT that clean is damn near unheard of I graduated in '87........ Wow

[@joeethereal2968]

FINALLY! Some Iconic American Performance Build Content! Forged Con Rods, Forged Pistons, Roller Camshaft... All O.E. equipped from the Blue Oval!

[@Fishbowl5.0]

As the owner of a white fox myself, hyped for you guys to build her up and enjoy the old school 5.0 goodness 🤍.... White wheels go hard with the white body 🤘

[@stevenwatts586]

"one does not simply drive a foxbody without flipping on the parking lights first." lol

[@Austinadcock]

The “Nismo”power brace 😂😂 that Jismo sticker is so good

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

First car I’ve been excited about since the viper

[@christiannieves4380]

Love this. Only thing I will say after seeing this video is that the driver seat belt needs a little more tension.

[@juanluisguerrerojr837]

Huge fan of the fox bodies can't wait to see how it turns out!!

[@ghostperformance801]

Love the collab I love seeing all my favorite KZbinrs collaborating next evan shanks collab

[@tombosixer7342]

Your reading of the sponsorship was great.

[@Politicsuta2010]

The fox body essentially started the aftermarket for muscle cars. It’s amazing to see one in such good shape but at the same time it’s only right to modify it. That’s what that car basically was designed for. Now if it was a 93 cobra, I’d be very sad.

[@NotSoMechanic]

Yooo EL’s that’s right down the road from me!! I used to work at Palumbo’s you guys drove right past it

[@Mldavis1214]

This is a nice change from the other builds. It needs a 351w though

[@phoenix__568]

My dad has a 1992 ford mustang GT fastback convertible. It originally was white with the red pin striping just like this one. It has the stock silver 5 spoke rims. We re did the interior and changed it to grey and black. We also changed the color to a navy blue. We upgraded the motor and it has a cam 302 in it now. This is amazing still seeing these cars making a comeback! So excited to watch someone upgrade one of these!

[@ClaytonF10]

19:42 haha nice save. He thought it was a K series 😂

[@jamesfcookjr]

Throtl VIP squad good morning Evan, Mickey Rickie Quinn rick Shawn Tim big Jeff Will and the rest of the team and also a Jimmy Oakes, his garage awesome building a fox body it would be cool if you found a decommissioned fox body police interceptor, but still awesome ❤️‍🔥😃👍🏼🤙🏽

[@jpmotorsport4728]

Looks and sounds so sick guys , condition is amazing and you can tell that was the previous owners pride and joy, go gentle on her , don’t mod too much it’s mint ! 💪❤️😎🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sick to see throtle in my home state.this is definitely not the car I thought I would see from you guys but im.dam stoked to see it.

[@djkevin314]

Wow, Even the ashtray not even broke. Very Rare!

[@deanedmunds5471]

I graduated h/s in 89, always loved that year of Mustang, I personally love those taillights and that interior takes me back in time

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

This bring me back to my teen years. This was my most wanted car.

[@tommyboyPR777]

Wow I’m super excited for this build I was born in Clifton New Jersey in 1971 that car was in my life brand new from Al Packer Ford but ours was convertible can’t wait to see what you do with it❤💯🇵🇷🙏🏽

My first car at age 15 was an 87 foxbody, still have it today. I’m only 23 but ill never get rid of it

[@ssfamous2.0]

Man it's going to be cool to see you guys put this together in Jimmys shop! Welcome to the East Coast Throtl! I owned a 91 lx 5.0 notch. Wish I would of kept that car. It's really hard finding these that clean. But hey sounds like you paid the right price! Imagine how much it would be if it was a Saleen or Cobra 😮

[@aztecvspec002]

I’m amazed the seat backs aren’t broken and leaning inwards! I haven’t seen a fox that didn’t, this is so rad.

rollin with my 5.0 - vanilla ice

[@CoolenergeRJJ]

you all aren't old enough to understand. the easiest way to see or make sure it's mint is if the ashtray door stays closed and I seen it closed. hellyeah it's mint!!!!

Hell yeah guys. That car is beautiful. I love it. And reppin my state, NJ. You passed my exit, Pennsville first exit off the bridge. God I wish I would've seen you around. Love yall keep up the good work peeps!

[@nostalgic_pokemon_memories]

honestly the car is to clean i would not build it, its fine the way it is. It would be nice if you guys found one that actually needed work and you could save...

[@timholloway8821]

I've owned 3 of them, the gt40p head swap and cam gave me a instant 100hp gain. I'm thinking on doing another build.

[@ddemerchant]

Not only are you in CT but one town south of me!!! Crazy and I’ve never heard of Oaks before. I used to skate at The Playground Skatepark which is in the same business park as that shop. Nuts.

[@vincentlee4016]

We used to have Sunoco gas stations at our home town in Canada. I love this car and i also love the LX

[@toranzoM]

Lower it, supercharge it and enjoy it. Thats a sweet ride that i wouldnt mess with too much.
