I have been wanting to buy a fox-body Mustang for some time to tinker around with and after quite a long search with the wifes approval, yes gotta have that, we bought this 1992 Teal/Calypso Green 5.0 LX Convertible for $5K.  It's got a white top with white leather interior and as hard as it is to say this, yes I bought an automatic.  The exterior of the car is in excellent condition and still retains its original paint.  On the inside everything is in good working condition with no rips or tears in the door panels.  The white leather is serviceable but does need to be replaced in the future.  Also needing to be replaced is the convertible top vinyl as it has a few tears where it folds up but it does not leak so that can wait for a few months.  All switches work on the inside and even the infamous ashtray door still opens/closes with ease.  The factory radio and equalizer are still intact and working great.  The engine runs strong at 99K and the transmission shifts smooth.  The cars exhaust is stock except for some flowmasters that give it a nice sound.  It's a great driver me and wife will enjoy on sunny days.

This will be my fourth fox-body Mustang I have owned since my 1990 GT, 1991 Coupe and 1990 GT Conv.  I plan on writing about everything I fix, restore or repair on this blog so keep your eyes peeled for fox-body posts.  Below I will give you a rough outline on what I have in mind for the car.

Needs: New Leather Seat Covers, Convertible Top & Glass, Maybe Carpet

Will Be Adding In Future: Aftermarket Radio & Speakers, Full Exhaust, Replace steering wheel

Wishlist: Cobra Upper/Lower, Supercharger (5 PSI), Heads, 17" Chrome ponys

I am not trying to go overboard on this car as I would like to keep it in nice original condition.  More photos to follow.

    Lovely car.
    I have an identical one here in the UK. Apart from the usual broken ashtray lid, it's a beauty. It's my 3rd Fox (I still have the other 2) and I love it.
