I haven't had a fox in like a decade, I'm a modular SN95 guy now 
My last fox was an my 89.5 LX 5.0 (89.5 for anniversary edition which meant I had the 140 speedo and a little dash plaque) Modifications include: 3.55 Ford Motorsport Gears, Thrush CVX Mufflers, Hurst CompPro shifter, Ported and polished intake to 71MM, Billet 70MM Throttle Body, Accel Ignition, Electric Fan conversion, K&N cone air filter, Manley high volume oil pump, Hooker Headers.

I've been in the search for one (5.0 LX 89-93). The later model GT's are nice but I'm not much on the ground effects. I like the simplicity of the LX body with the 5.0 power plant.
I've been very picky becuase I want a clean unmolested LX and it has been hard to find. All the ones I come across have been abused or rusted out.
Someday I find the right one.

Now that's a car Very Nice , I had a 1968 Fastback GT w/390 4 speed , also had several 428's in the car plus the car also had several 390's plus other motors . One thing about a Ford motor is you can make them run just not very long as they just will not hold together like a GM will . I drive both brands today , Chevy's for work and Rangers for play .
I have to agree that what most people (in my area anyway) do to foxes is gross. They get a bad rap because of the people who drive them. After all they are a cheap and powerful car. I love classic fastbacks, 1st gen. Camaro's (Maybe a split bumper 70 :wink: ), REAL hot rods, Kustoms, but being a 17 y/o with a minimal income it is hard to afford what I really want.
I had this one about 13 years ago. It was an '89 and had a bunch of suspension stuff done to it and was probably one of the more fun cars I've had. I used to love playing with street bikes in the twisties.
Yes, digital cameras sucked back then.

Lots of power is fun, but you can take advantage of suspension mods more IMO.
I kind of want an SVO but I'm just going to mod the E55 instead. The only thing that sucks is parts are not cheap for it. I'm looking at a set of shorty headers right now and they're on sale for $800. They sure are purty though.
Another company is looking into making some long tubes (would be a run of about 10 sets) and are going to be asking $2,500. Figure in another $1,200 or so for a tune and probably another $600+ for installation and they are crazy expensive. Definitely out of my price range for something like that. There's also no way in hell the car would pass smog with them on.
