[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16836707, member: 83412"] Absolutely. When I was a kid it was Mustangs from the late sixties that caught my eye. The Mustang II was an abomination such that the Fox arrival was indeed the second coming. I pined for an '82 GT when they were introduced but my God...157 horsepower was actually exciting? No. The Fox caught on because it so easy to modify, swap, tweak, what have you from Windsors to Clevelands to 460 swaps. Inexpensive and the aftermarket dove in head first. That was my point earlier. If you can find a good shell you are much better off starting that way then paying out the ying for a clean car only to gut it and pay for things twice. I'm taking forever with my own '90 coupe but it is a much better car with a full Maximum suspension and a real braking system. It was truly liberating yanking the fuel injection and going old school carb with an all new fuel system. Simple to tune and maintain. I'm done mechanically and am in slo-motion with the body and interior.

There is so much available from the aftermarket that allows you to go in whatever direction you chose to go. Start with a shell and make it yours. That's the appeal of a Fox to me, not an original in stock form. Half the horsepower of a modern V6 just doesn't cut it for me no matter how low the miles are.
