The value of Fox-body Mustangs has been slowly but surely rising, as members of Generation X find themselves with fond memories of what was often their first real taste of torque. Car’s that ten years ago could be had for a song, dance, and a couple of thousand dollars have suddenly doubled, or even tripled in price. THe cleanest and most desirable models can rival even a classic ‘65 Mustang in price, with truly rare models bringing respectable dollars at auction.
If you’re looking to start a Fox-body Mustang collection of your own though, might we recommend this veritable buffet of clean-and-sought-after models, found on Dallas, Texas Craigslist by Mustang Heaven. While two of these eleven Mustangs have already been bought, there’s still 9 great options left to choose from.
The collection covers the entirety of the Fox-body era, beginning with the first Fox Mustang in 1979. At $7,500 it’s definitely on the high side for such a car, but it’s as clean as an example as you’re gonna find, and it has the 5.0 V8 to boot. From there the collection jumps straight to a 1985 Mustang GT, missing out on the desirable four-cylinder Mustang SVO that is enjoying renewed popularity thanks to Ford’s EcoBoost engines. There is, however, a Mercury Capri that slipped into the collection, an especially rare ride these days.
But if you love late 80s and early 90s Mustangs, this collection has plenty to choose from, including a trio of 1993 Cobra Mustangs. The pair of Cobra R Mustangs have already been picked off (and for over $60,000 each!), but there’s also three Saleen Mustangs for potential buyers to consider. Or why not just buy the whole herd, and get a head start on that Mustang collection you’ve always dreamed of.
