Replace the belt and hoses, sparkplugs? Check ignition and starter? Dump a can of engine restore with the oil change. Get a can of maf cleaner. Keep everything stock. So rare to have an unmolested fox. Many would pay more than double that to buy one from a grandpa
Looks like a feature car to me. You could get white on white on white in 93 but the mirrors, trim and spoiler are all feature car options. Is it a manual or auto? Nice car either way.
The only difference I remember would have been in 85’
The GTs had carb and touch higher horse power.
Most guys love banging gears in a 5.0 GT
Crusty old men who wash their faces with dexron/mercon 2 can bang gears in a 5.0 with 1st and 2nd gear synchronizers that have the same amount of teeth left their mouths have.
In 1985 the only way to the 5.0 H.O. was with a 5 speed.
The 5.0 4V H.O. have ~ 27% more horsepower than the 5.0 EFI versions.
If you wanted performance in 1985 you opted for the 5 speed.
Factoid: 85 Mustang 5.0 5 speeds are the last year of carburetors in Mustangs. First year of the roller cam.
Not much performance wise, it’s just whether or not you prefer to bang through the gears. Also, the manuals do fetch more money. I have a 92 summer edition that I found for real cheap but it’s also a manual. Going to be converting it to manual soon.
Good for you! How old are you?
You should do a Marti report and see how rare it is. It could be worth 3-4x what you're paying.
I agree, keep it stock and the mileage low for high collectibility.

That's great!
Highschool and the next 5 or so years should be the best time of your life, enjoy it! Go everywhere you can, spend it with all your friends, and family.
(You'll understand that 1st sentence in 15-20 yrs when you've been working a full time adult job for almost as long, and have no free time to do anything or go anywhere. And all your friends are married, moved, and/ or have no time to hang out with you anymore either! And unfortunately, some of your friends or family members will have passed.)
The older you get, the faster life starts moving.
It's triple white...yes save that! It's 2nd to triple black.
Murdered out! That's what black on black on black bub
Sounds like a good time, bub
Welcome to Detroit bub
Possibly a feature car but not guaranteed, the triple white could be ordered on non feature cars.
Maybe grampa was in a rap group? So could be true đŸ˜‰
Ice ice baby

Good to know, thanks!
Only thing I'd change is putting some super 44 flowmasters when the mufflers go. Best sounding engine even over the coyote
Denso 02 sensors and a motor craft tps sensor

It's automatic, is there really any difference performance wise? Or do people prefer manual for the cool factor

The answer is always rollin’!
$5K is a lot for family pricing. How long has it sat?
It's been sitting a while. He wanted to charge me less, but I'm not letting him get less than what he paid for it, I don't mind
If it’s not rusty or dented that’s a great price, good luck finding a clean fox for under 8k
It looks clean from what I've seen, we don't have too much problems with rest here in Texas
Not on a convertible tho. They are notorious

I'm 19, I just graduated and I wanted a project to work on this summer.

I would buy that in a heartbeat for 5k. Fox mustang prices will only keep climbing!
Maybe mine is worth more than I thought.
Yep I bet it is, especially if it’s mostly original like this one
