Generation X's Muscle Car & Millenial's Hot Rod⚡️Foxbody 5.0 Mustang (1979-1993)

#MustangTown #FoxbodyBrigade
The ever-popular original 5.0 Mustang (aka: Fox-body) If you grew up through the '80s or early '90s you experienced and lived it... and here’s a video of it, the Foxbody Mustang, or back in those days simply known as the 5.0 Mustang, 5-liter Mustang or 5.0… the term "Fox-body" which of course is the 1979-1993 Mustang's chassis/platform, actually didn't really take off and become the most known nickname of these cars until after the S197 models hit the streets. With a few generations behind it they started to be identified as the Foxbody more so than the 5.0 or 5-liter. These cars were absolutely the "best bang for the buck" pound for pound champs back in the '80s and early '90s and were just "straight line killers".
For around $10,000 you had a factory performance car that ran mid 14 second 1/4 miles off the showroom floor and with mild tweaking could hit 13 second times... soon tuners were porting heads, extrude honing intakes, gears and slicks and running easy 12 seconds... and the aftermarket exploded!!! Pro 5.0 racers quickly figured out how to run sub-10 second 1/4 miles, by the late '90s a turbo revolution started thanks to racers like Mark Harwell, Gene Deputy and these little turbocharged Foxes were hitting 8-sec and faster times down the 1/4 mile strip. These light little Ponycars became the modern day tri-five Chevy and '32 Ford, and if you lived it you know all about it...

I wanted to toss together a little 5.0 Mustang Foxbody tribute with some of my older footage that I shot back in the day, a tribute to the car and the past, present and future Foxbody Mustang freaks out there. Hope it takes ya back folks! Since I was a young kid I always wanted to build a Time Machine… well I finally did it with this channel #MuscleCarTimeMachine ❤️
