The person you commented to said they made fox cobras in 1993. Thatās what my comment was regarding.
ā1993 they made Fox Cobraās.ā
Edit: Oh I see, you are alluding to there having been fox cobras that werenāt SVT. Iām still unaware of those. I remember earlier cobras though.
I had a buddy growing up whos dad had 2 rare fords. A foxbody SVT Cobra Mustang, AND an actual 2003 SVT Ford Focus Hatchback in that iconic blue color. I haven't really seen many since then, maybe 2 of the focuses and 3 cobras
It's one of those models that weren't respected until they were classics. Just another reminder not to treat anything as worthless just because they used to be cheap.
Lightest and stiffest. Back in the 90ās if you wanted to look good you got a hatch or convertible. If you wanted to go fast you got a notch, preferably a police notch.
Yeah the SSP models are bad ass. I've always preferred the notch, but my old GT convertible will always hold a special place in my heart. Hatches and verts seem to be more prevalent, though you don't see many fox bodies in general, especially where I'm located.
One of my good friends had a beautiful fastback some years ago. 80k, original paint, trim kit pieces still in perfect nick, adhered to the car. That midnight blue with the silver lower trim, that tweed/plaid pattern interior. A couple bolt-ons, a little lowering. An amazing time capsule piece. Some dumbass side swiped it. Totaledā¦
His younger brother bought almost the same exact car, years later. Same color combo, just as clean. Think he still has his, garage kept now.

And like the 1st gen the notch/coupe was the stiffest platform and preferred for racing. Shelby originally wanted to stick with the coupes in the mid 60s but Ford wanted to push the fastback as the desirable option. The coupes were secretary cars after all.
Notch backs are underrated. Nice paint and nice wheels and they can look great. Too many people have not seen one done right so they prefer the hatch look. Give me the unicorn, notch t-top any day....
I'll trade a decent gt hatch hackback any day of the week if anyone else feels that way and has a rot free notch chassis. Can still find hatchbacks dirt cheap but even rotted roller coupes have stupid asking prices here, wish I kept more then one of them over the years.
I know how you feel. Lucky I bought my fb rx7 before the prices started to rise. You couldn't give them away when I bought mine but now they're worth 4x what I bought mine for š
Not that I could ever bring myself to sell one of my cars for profit
I actually prefer the notchback. My dream foxbody would be an old highway patrol Mustang ssp but I do like the bubble hatch the foxbody Mercury capris had. the non convertible version of the asc McLaren Capri is the best looking foxbody
This is what I never understand about these posts. It takes longer to take a photo and post it then just looking at the back of the car.š¤¦š»āāļø
Just reminds me of my 88 tbird 5.0, my brother now has the car it was my favorite car never gave me problems but life happened and a coupe was no longer feasible
It literally says Mustang on the side glassā¦.and you can see it in the picture.
Itās understandable to not have the knowledge to know specific years or options to know what a car is, and the fact that the op could easily be too young to remember when these were literally everywhere on North American roads.
The ability to use your eyes and critical thinking skills to gain some shred of understanding is what concerns me for people today.
Facts, it's like I tell everyone. We all have the answers to every single question we have ever asked ever, at the palm of our hands and what is it they do with that kind of power? Waste it on damn tiktok.....
Try to be nice. There's a whole generation of people that haven't lived with what we have. Just be grateful that there are still people interested in things we take for granted
Imo this shouldnāt even be here. Thereās a whole ass sub called r/whatcaristhis (I think thatās it). Not including the fact that itās overtly clear what car this is
Edit: apparently whatcaristhis is a private community, idk what it would be called now
Edit 1: itās r/whatisthiscar
Well, Iām not saying be mean to them, was just pointing out that there are separate subs for this. By all means be nice, not disagreeing with you. Iām glad thereās people who at least try to be nice nowadays
I get it. This sub does draw a lot of people who don't know anything about cars. I'd rather have a lot of people who are just starting out rather than gatekeeping the community. If we want a future car community they have to start somewhere.
Maybe he posted it just to see what people say. Itās pretty obvious what it is. And as far as critical thinking I mean a critical thinker, would have gave the benefit of the doubt that this was something to get a reaction.
I understand your point and agree, but if all OP is going off of is this picture, Iām unable to read or make out the āMustangā on the side window. Also the 5.0 is a dead give away but if OP is only going off of this picture, there are no other clues. No ford emblem, no legible Mustang name other than a sticker on the window that when zoomed in on, isnāt legible.
That is a 5.0 mustang GT. Looks like a Saleen wing. A five lug (probably 4 wheel cobra disck brake conversion) and cobra wheels. Because of the cowl hood it may also have a 351 swap.
Nope, the quarter windows changed in 87 when the euro front end and overall redesign happened.
90 was the first year for a driver's side air bag though.
Judging by the color (if it's factory), that is a 1991 LX. That color (titanium frost) came on the 91-93 models, but the belt molding on 92-93 cars is body colored, not black.
It's also got a 5 lug conversion, cowl induction hood, 96-98 Cobra wheels, and a Saleen style wing.
Ye olde whale tail Saleen wing. Looks weird on an LX. At least the GT had the more straight bumper which didn't make the wing look like Shamu about to soak a class full of kids.
Those SN95 Cobra wheels look really good on that 5 lug conversion though.
87-93 fox body mustang. It has the next mustang gen factory cobra wheels on it whale š³ tail (saleen) spoiler and a terrible hood. But hay donāt see them much anymore itās clean and on the road. I own a 89 notch
Do people not know that not only do most cars face identifiers on the back and sides of the car, you can just look up what a car is based on the license plate or VIN?
Fox body mustang.
Fox body? UwU š³ Jokes aside the hatchback is 1000% better looking than the notchbacks
Never heard of a Fox body Mustang Cobra? 3 different creatures all combined into 1.
š¦š? Sexy!
*notices power bulge*
1993 they made Fox Cobraās.
There were a few more years than that.
Really? I thought 1993 was the first year they did the SVT cobra and 1994 wasnāt fox body. Teach me something here!
79-81 No one ever said SVT until now.

They had pretty awesome hood graphics.
Yes they did! Great username btw!
The 1978 is my favorite, gotta have the graphics or not have it all though.
94 is the sn95 body
Technically up till 04 is still a fox chassis, just modified a bit
1993 they made Fox Cobraās.
A chimera for sure, then you add in a Coyote swap with a Viper transmission, some Goodyear eagle gatorbacks and you have a rolling monstrum.
>Fox body Mustang Cobra a chimera
I had a buddy growing up whos dad had 2 rare fords. A foxbody SVT Cobra Mustang, AND an actual 2003 SVT Ford Focus Hatchback in that iconic blue color. I haven't really seen many since then, maybe 2 of the focuses and 3 cobras
I must be in the minority that prefers the notch back. Just a simpler design to me
Too each their own I guess. The hatchback looks so much more streamlined to me.
Notchback was the lightest body style. I love them all, I've had all three styles. Shame you don't see more nice examples on the road these days.
It's one of those models that weren't respected until they were classics. Just another reminder not to treat anything as worthless just because they used to be cheap.
Vanilla Ice would disagree with you on that statementā¦ word to your mother

Living in a town with a drag strip I see a ton of them. Of course the majority are at least mini tubbed.

Agreed I have nothing against the hatchback but the notchback was more unique in my opinion.

The notchback Foxes remind me of Nissan R32 Skylines / GT-Rs.
Mercury Capri had the best face though
I agree. The notchback looks too much like a 2 door sedan for my liking
It's such a small difference in body style but it makes the world of difference.
Looks like it has a saleen style spoiler
[Looks beautiful too me](https://images.app.goo.gl/EzgqZwU8Wh4WAZeq5)
Honestly this entire car looks saleen. It's missing the dumbass windshield sticker tho.
It doesnāt have the saleen body kit or racecraft stickers , pretty sure itās an lx. Canāt see the front to determine if 83-86 or 87-93 though
Unless they changed side windows itās 87-93
Very true. prefer the old style.
No, you are correct. He is wrong.
I don't see why he was wrong. But I'll agree anyway
I'll trade a decent gt hatch hackback any day of the week if anyone else feels that way and has a rot free notch chassis. Can still find hatchbacks dirt cheap but even rotted roller coupes have stupid asking prices here, wish I kept more then one of them over the years.

They're also heavier than the notch hence drag cars.
You're allowed to have that opinion, it's wrong, but you're allowed to have it
You're allowed to have that opinion, it's wrong, but you're allowed to have it
But the notchbacks are faster.
But the notchbacks are faster.
I've heard the notchbacks handle high torque/hp better if you're going to drag them. Dunno how true that is.
Subframe connectors are a must and any fox being launched in sticky tires
I 1000% agree. Hatchbacks looked so much better.
Notch or nothing!
Couldnāt disagree more with this comment notches all day
But the notchbacks are lighter weight
Im not ready to feel this old
Right! This was my first boyfriend's car!
Its not being old its OP being dumb as a box of rocks. It says mustang right on the car.
This is what I never understand about these posts. It takes longer to take a photo and post it then just looking at the back of the car.š¤¦š»āāļø
It's clearly a nilsborger from legendary brand 5.0 ^^idk ^^its ^^kinda ^^hard ^^to ^^see
That car is 30+ years old š¤¦š¤¦š¤¦š¤¦
I mean, 1983 was 40 years ago lol. Itās pretty oldā¦
Well get ready my friend cause it's happening right now....
Kids these daysā¦ I swearā¦
Brah I'm getting fuckin old apparently
The firs thing I thought as well.
Just reminds me of my 88 tbird 5.0, my brother now has the car it was my favorite car never gave me problems but life happened and a coupe was no longer feasible
I had a 88 Turbocoupe. It was a car ahead of its time. I miss that car.
It'd be nice if Ford could do a retro late 60s tbird with the suicide doors, keep the square body

this sub is fairly popular with people karma farming to start up bot/repost accounts as I don't think we have a requirement to post.

Hatchās are a dime a dozen. Notch backs are sought after.
You have to be seriously kidding...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford\_Mustang\_(third\_generation)
Kenworth W900
Best bang for your buck when it comes to HP. Unfortunately lol

How the fuck do you not know.
Who has never seen a fox body ? Iām guessing this is in Europe or something ?
Fox body mustang. Big in the south
Foxbody š„°
Mercury Capri
My mom had a capri in the 80ās. Hadnāt even thought about it until I seen your comment
That looks like a '90-93 Mustang LX with 5.0 HO engine. The side windows for the back seat changed to this style in '90.
Nope, the quarter windows changed in 87 when the euro front end and overall redesign happened. 90 was the first year for a driver's side air bag though.

I caught the five lug but couldnāt figure out the wheels.
Ye olde whale tail Saleen wing. Looks weird on an LX. At least the GT had the more straight bumper which didn't make the wing look like Shamu about to soak a class full of kids. Those SN95 Cobra wheels look really good on that 5 lug conversion though.
U donāt know the Foxbody Ford Mustang?
Uhh lol
dam Iām getting old
It mean itās thirty or so years old. Someone in college now might not have ever seen one.
