Yup....IMO, Fox bodies don't interest the younger crowd. Not only do they not like the look, but they're under the mistaken impression that they're slow. I find it cute when I hear teens talk :poo: about that "old dinosaur" of a Mustang when they compare it to their basically stock Civic/Saturn/Neon...whatever.
 
Over the past 10 years I've seen as more young kids with Foxes than older guys. At least where I come from. Nowadays I see those younger guys giving them up for a New Edge of S197. Me, I can't see giving up my Fox so as I age I'll be helping the curve :p Bought it at 18 and am currently 30 (holy :poo:)

28 years old here! I was 12 or 13 when a schoolmates older brother use to come pick him up in his all black GT. That was about 1995 or 1996. That did it for me, loved them ever since!

I don't really think there is a specific age demographic that foxes appeal to. I have been seeing more teenagers in them than previous years, but I also still see a lot of older folks rocking the 5.0. I don't care what somebody's age is, as long as their fox is tasteful. My balls shrink every time I see a fox with euro taillights, or some ridiculous looking wheels.

When I have my 03 how I want it, gonna find a fox to build. I'll be 41 at the end of May. When I was around 14 or 15 I use to hang with my cousin and his friends. We played with Cutlass's (plural for.Cutlass?), but his friends had 82/83 Capri's. Couple were built. Fast cars. There's a driveline shop here that has a 79 pace car sitting for the 3 1/2 years I've been here. Might look into that.

I'm 19 and they are my main interest... Raw horsepower.

I'd say the majority is ~30+ but i have seen a lot of younger owners. It's all in how you're raised and what you can afford at that age. I've owned one for 10 years now so i was 22 when i got my first, and i was into them for years before that.
 
Yeah I'll be 30 this summer... :O_o: But anyways I always liked em, my dad got a '95 gt in early '96 and still has er. He put almost 300k miles on er before the rebuild in '09 I believe it was. (might have been '10... thirty year old brain ya know ;)) I've only had my '90 since '09 as well, I totaled the car I was driving and found me a fox.
 
I never used to be into them. always loved the way they sounded though and when one fell into my lap as a running project 9 years ago I was hooked.
 
im 25 and have had fox mustangs since i was 17. I just read on CARBUZZ that the average owner of a mustang in general is OVER 50!! the next generation stang will need to appeal to a younger crowd, and as such will be losing the retro look. sad. i hope it turns out ok.
