A fox body is the 87'-93' body style.

I started to like foxbodys when i was 14 or 15. There was this guy from church that brought his hot rod mustang. I mean it was crazy. It was loud just starting it. The car moving at 5mph sounded like if he took off stepping on it. He still races but with a camaro now... sad...

Since i was about 12. When i was 14 my parents bought a 93 hatch, 2.3, 5 speed. I loved that car. They sold it right before i got my license. I now own a 92 hatch project.

I also believe the 94-98 mustangs used the fox platform (same frame, new body)... But generally yes, the shoe box 79-93 mustangs were the fox bodies.

Fox is what Ford named the chassis the car was built on. It actually started in 1978 with the Fairmont/Zephyr nameplates and was the first RWD Ford to use struts instead of shocks/upper control arms up front.

Here's a quick list of Fox platform cars (helpful when you're at the j/y looking for parts.

All Ford Fairmonts, and Mercury Zephyrs
Mercury Capri 79-86 (IMO The RS is the best looking Fox car ever made)
Ford LTD II & 79/80 and later Mercury Monarch
80-88 Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar, Lincoln Mark series

The '94-2004 Mustangs were on the SN95 platform, basically an improved Fox platform.

2005 was the dawn of the S197 platform. Nothing radically different, but an improvement on the SN95.

I've liked them since they first came out. Coming from a family that had a '71 Mach I in the driveway, I was disappointed in the 74-78 cars, even the King Cobras. In the crowd I hung out with, Mustang II's (a.k.a. Mustang Too )were what Street Rodders were parting out for the front suspensions.

The one that really struck a nerve and to this day I regret not buying was an '86 Capri RS 5.0 5spd. , Bubble hatch, spoiler, factory hood scoop, front air dam and the Marchal fog lamps. Sex on wheels.

The first time I laid eyes on a 79 cobra... loved it off the bat. It wasn't until several years later that I was able to pick up a '79 Indy Pace Car though. 4cyl turbo. Ended up the turbo was wasted and had to be replaced, and that was the beginnings of throwing money down that particular LOVABLE money pit. It was my third car, and my third mustang, but to this day it remains my favorite. My GF at the time looked SO sweet in it. I still love that pewter color with the orange and black accents.

This is horrible to admit, but the first time I started liking fox bodies was when i was a kid and saw this movie called Invaders From Mars (the 1986 remake). *ducks and covers from all the odjects bein thrown at her* the herione of the movie has a fox body and even tho car chases, racing, ect type things arent really in the movie, the driving and the few things that the car did impressed the bleep outta me cuz i'd never seen a smaller-ish car do things like that.
i began loving foxes years later i turned 18 and my grandma gave me my pony car. i started driving around (translation: started trying to do all the sweet car tricks u see in movies) and i fell in love with my little fox.
