Yea, I don't really understand why everyone is specifying years. Like they're totally different.
'87-'93 black notch hands down.
What up, brother? I been so busy building just about every road in Chicago, I still haven't had time to go get another computer! On topic, I learned to make the 88's go, so I'm hugely biased. I like the 87-88 LX's, particularly hatch's, though I always hated the little overhead light, and the seats. Also the 85-86 GT's, Canyon Red with that black hood I found it very enjoyable to slay what was alleged to be faster stangs with a 10 holed, speed density car. But if I were actually honest with myself, my favorite Fox would be a 92 Bimini hatch. Pony's, body colored side strip, yeah.I've had an '89, a '92, and then a '91. If I ever have to buy another one, it's going to be just like the '92 I had. To my knowledge there are no differences between '91s and '92s, and any that exist aren't significant. Here's why I like those years the most:
- MAF (became standard in '89)
- better overhead light in the interior (the round circular light that came in the '87-'90s sucked and so did the map light b/c it wasn't bright and burned the **** outta you if you left it on too long rofl)
- pony wheels (started in '91 - if you're going to keep it stock looking the ponies beat the 10-holes and the crazy-ass older GT wheels)
- still forged pistons (until the very end of '92 production year when a few hypereutectic cars made it out of the factory)
- little dash emblem (started in '89 model year)
- last but not least all of the little corrections that were made to the small failure prone issues
To be fair, one thing I miss from the '89 was that the side mirrors were larger. All of the fox-bodies has ridiculously small side mirrors, but the later ones were worse. I didn't miss the tilting steering wheel, though. The airbag wheel was placed perfectly for me.
The '91 I have now is just ok, whereas I got '92 with only 43k miles and it was in almost perfect shape. I wish I had just found another gem of a '91 or '92 at 40k miles or less, because I want to have a perfect car and instead I have pages of to-do issues with my higher mileage '91. One day things will be better.
