So, all you people saying "fox body", have never actually purchased one? Can't believe how many people there are on this site that have missed out on the joy of owning a fox body.

An 87 Cutlass 442. Along the same lines as a Monte SS. They had wheezy 307s in them, but responded well to basic mods. I always thought they were sharp looking.

I always wanted a notchback 5.0, but until my blazer gives out or I sell it, I will never know the joy of owning one! I think either the fox or a late '90s audi A4 turbo would be a great daily driver replacement.

1984-89 Merkur XR4Ti. Buddy of mine had one when I was in college and I have wanted one ever since. I just can't bring myself to buy one.

C4 LT1 Corvette. The market has dropped down quite a bit, I see decent ones as low as $6K, and I'm watching it drop even more:D

Did you miss the word cheap in the title?

An old 80s turbo Chrysler, as long as it's not the LeBaron.

Liek an Omni GLH, I wanted one of those. My Dad also had a Shelby Charger, blue and silver, like an 85 or 86 model, wanted one of those too.

I am always looking for a cheap turbo coupe or xr4ti also, most have seen a helluva lot better days and I dont even know if I wanna sink a grand into $1000 dollar beater just to make it roll.
Would like to get ahold of a 85-88 Cutlass or Regal, T-Type or GN even, love anything with a 3.8 s/c and mid to late 90's GM W bodies too.
Would not mind a Gen 2 Mark 8 also and love some mid 90's Caddies with the crapstars, basically anything from Ford or Gm I like from a few era's.
I have a fox body in my Mark VII and with only 88k it runs great but the trans is getting weak due to this one thing I did, I will be driving it as a winter/beater for a few more years, sunk a grand into it over the past 2 years. I dont for see a fox body Mustang in my future, I rather have the above mentioned cars than a fox body Stang and 10 year newer cars FTW

I would love to get a nice 98 Mark VIII in a year or 2 but am torn cause I also want a fuel pincher diesel. Decisions Decisions
Oh I also love cheap (sub $1k:)) regular cab beater farm trucks, so I just cant say what I may end up with or when........

I always wanted a Triumph TR7 when I was in HS. Thought they were cool. Now I am looking forward to a guy that is not far from selling my Grandfathers 68 Mustang Coupe that he bought new. The current owner bought it from my grandmother when my grandfather died. Still has it to this day and I have first dibs on it.

87-88 Turbo Coupe in Metalic blue. SVO would be pretty cool too.
Also I've been looking at the 83-84 5.0 LTD's lately. Would make a cool sleeper.

Mark VIII, I was actually looking for one before I found my cobra. They were ranging from the low teens back then. Now they are stupid cheap. I still want a edt: caprice wagon, the big woodgrain sided ones. They are like giant couches on wheels.

Black caprice wagon on black centerline smoothie 20's, I don't know why but the way they cut the back wheel in half with the quarter panel looks so good layed out.
