There are some people out there who consider the Fox-body Mustang to be one of the coolest muscle cars/pony cars ever made. Whether the traits cited as reasons for this are the looks of the cars or their performance, these Blue Ovals sure do have a special place in the hearts of many.
Fox Mustangs are the pony cars Ford made between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. The Fox moniker is there to describe them because these cars were built on the Fox platform, the carmakers longest-produced vehicle architecture alongside the Panther, and used on a number of vehicles wearing the Ford or Lincoln and Mercury badges.
For the Mustang family, as did for the other cars using it, the arrival of the Fox platform meant more room to accommodate different engines, weight savings, and of course a body redesign that still speaks volumes to fans.
Being more recent, Fox-body Mustangs are not difficult to find, either in stock or modified form. The one in the gallery above is part of the former category, and got sold for this week for just $13,000.
And it’s not just a 1988 Mustang, but a GT 5.0 one, meaning it is gifted with the largest engine available for the model that year, the 301ci (5.0-liter) V8 backed by a four-speed automatic transmission, an engine that back in the day was rated at 222 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.
Painted in black with red accents on the outside and riding on the factory-spec 15-inch wheels, the Mustang shows all the elements that made its design famous back then, including front fog lamps, louvered taillight covers, and a rear hatch spoiler.
The interior is wrapped in Scarlet Red cloth and features a two-tone black and red dashboard. The odometer in the instrument cluster shows 46,000 miles (74,000 km).
