New Fox In the House!!!

Well, I wasn't really lookin for one right now and had my heart set on a SSP, but this lttle 79 4 cyl fell into my lap. $600, runs no rust anywhere but it finally has a home that will bring life back into her!!! After the Pace car of course and I wonder if this is a trend for me? This is my second 4cyl Mustang.. I think it maybe be the cool green graphics~

Not feeling the green, but nice nevertheless. Another 4cyl. '79, huh? Matching "Pace Car" notch... Need to find a T-bird TC or SVO engine for it! I love the possibilities offered by the Foxes.

C'mon you guys you know that the green is going away, not sure what I'm going with. 5.0 for sure, I think and maybe even a new nose like 85.86 who knows but it will be very clean looking. The original color was yellow just like in the 79 broschure..

It is Minty Fresh inside!!

Nice bro!! The two different taillights messed with my eyes for a minute....


I'd definitely keep the 4 eyed nose.

Could you get the dimensions of your hood scoop for me, length and width? Thanx bro.

Yeah, I am gonna keep the original nose and the taillights will have to matched. I think for now it will have 85/86 lights in the back and I gonna keep that right side, its perfect and they can be hard to come by so I'll take it off and clean it, bubble wrap it and put it away for now. I'll get the dimentions of the scoop later today for you.
