Ford's Fox Body platform wasn't just used for their 3rd gen Mustangs. It was also employed for sedans and wagons like the Fairmont, Granada, Ford LTD, Mercury Zephyr and even the Lincoln Continental. I got a boatload of Fox body Mustangs when did reviews for GMP products. Here's few that stand out for either their importance or quirkiness. First is the Mustang Cobra SVT:

CobraImpreza 021
CobraImpreza 032
CobraImpreza 027
CobraImpreza 028
CobraImpreza 024
CobraImpreza 022
CobraImpreza 029

A rather rare Twister ll commissioned by the Kansas City Regional Office:

Twister ll 022
Twister ll 016
Twister ll 019
Twister ll 035
Twister ll 020
Twister ll 030

A nitrous blown street racer:

Twister ll 085
Twister ll 079
Twister ll 082
Twister ll 086
Twister ll 083
Twister ll 078
Twister ll 084
Twister ll 091

Take a retired cop car and turn it into a drag car:

CHiP 018
CHiP 025
CHiP 017
CHiP 034
Twister ll 055
Twister ll 062
Twister ll 063
Twister ll 058

A great selection of foxy  'Stangs Rich - and LUCKY you!     I've always had to pay for my foxes, including the non-Mustang variety.  😏 

I've seen all of those before except that Kansas City Twister II.   😎    Although the Mustang Fox body platform officially ended in 1993, I think some aspects remained until 2014.  🤔 

I believe 2015 Mustangs were truly ALL new.  🤨 🤔

We bought a 1989 Mustang GT convertible new and kept it for 23 years. It was black with silver skirting, grey leather interior, five speed manual and white convertible top. Didn't want to sell it but we just had too many cars and I didn't want it sitting outside.
