Remember. the fox body "Mustang"? Yeah, Ford really did call that car a Mustang. I never forgave them for that.

I have a 70 Mach 1 and was looking for a 15+ convertible for Florida. You can say I am a bit of a Mustang homer. I never cared for the Mustang II or the Fox body cars but the funny thing is the Fox body cars have a huge following in the hotrod crowd.
The Mustang II, not so much.

My newest Ford just arrived after 14 months so far we love cruising with the top back. Next week it gets a 2.75” perch lift and 35” KO2’s with Fuel Ken Block wheels

Live the bronco
Friend was at dealer yesterday with one on the floor. Loaded up with options. Says they wanted $150k
Havana, aren't you in Sarasota?
We're planning a day trip there in December. How did it come out in the storm?

My dealer has a First edition model and was asking $30k over MSRP crazy they’re not worth that it’s just a fad. I could sell this one to carvana and make $$
My 2020 grand Cherokee lease is up soon a
So I tried Carvana and I could make $10k if I sell it to them I’m buying it to leave in NY.

We were just at Ford's Garage in Dearborn a couple of weeks ago. We used to go to the one in Brandon when we lived in Florida. The Brandon location is about half the size of Dearborn.

I really like those new Broncos but just can't bring myself to buying a Ford. 3 of the 5 I have owned needed new engines before 50,000 miles and a fourth made it 70,000. The 5th was fine

My 1990 300zx twin turbo comes tomorrow. I can't wait!
I’ve had luck with all of my fords actually our 03’ Eddie Bauer expedition drove onto the flatbed to be donated to diabetes looking fresh and running great with 120k miles but as I get older my love of the German cars has grown never been bit by them and treated like a real person at the dealerships. Most of our American car dealers have been rude and act like you need them! For mostly a lack luster product
Just my feelings…

Very nice. In fact, that 1 is sweet. I just could not sleep with that bicycle hanging over it.

My brother had one of these embarrassments. Mustang was at rock bottom for this.'Tell you what; I'd take a Fox body over this melted-in-the-sun wax model of a Pinto.

The fastback Cobra II version with the 302 had some redeeming qualities.

Our high school auto mechanic's daughter had one. On a 302 V8, the oil filter sticks straight out the right side of the block. We were unable to remove the filter during an oil change as it ran into the frame rail before running out of threads. At the time, Ford's answer was to pull the right-hand motor mount bolt, and jack up that side of the engine. Screw that! Fram quickly came to the rescue with a slightly shorter filter that would just slide in, but the old filter had to be crushed in place just to remove it. Don't get me started on how we changed the spark plugs (hint; a hole saw was involved).

I don't see the Bronco attraction, to me it looks like a 'Trans' Range Rover...kinda looks like one but just ain't the same.

My parents owned one as well when I was a kid, Red two door coupe. Buddy of mine owned a red hatchback in high school with the 302 in it, that thing could smoke some tires.

How long do you think you will own it or how quickly do you think you will sell it? ;-)
