The Rarest Fox Body of Them All!

Share |

If you have been reading 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords lately odds are that you have seen the rare 1986 Lx Coupe T-Top car that they have been building.

Since I love rare cars I got to thinking, what is the rarest Fox Mustang built?  I started looking around and doing various research and found quite a few low production number cars. Of them were the 1986 5.0 LX T-Top, the 1984 GT 350 Turbo Convertible, and the 1979 Pace Cars witht the 5.0/automatic built for export.

There is however a single car that was produced that I feel is the rarest Foxbody Mustang built.  Why is it rare?  There is only one built.

In 1984 Ford produced 1 SVO that was painted Oxford white. No others were painted that color until 1985. The car was built for a Mac Tools Promotion.


Lets see what kind of other hidden treasures we can come up with. If you know of other low production cars built from 1979-1993 include it in the comments.

Let the Fox Body education begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say the '89 Saleen SA-5 would be the rarest of all fox body mustangs. It was a prototype built before the SSC cars. Black with tan interior, it's 1 of 1.

I own an '84 Turbo GT that was originally a turbo-4 before SVO existed. Probably too far gone to be restored, but its a fun track car. Think online it said 300 or so made for that year.

One of my dad's friend informed me that he had come across a 1989 Saleen....I about lost my breath. He had picked it up from a Vietnamese guy who had it sitting in his garage for about 6 years, untouched. The car had 82,000 original miles and my friend paid 4,000 for it. It's now worth about 18,000.

im another big 93 cobra fan and i was reading through alot of mustang books and magizines trying to learn as much as i could about this awsome model mustang. but i have learned that there was a rare cobra R model that i didnt know was built in 93 i thought it was 94,95 and later that it was built  but i guess it is pretty rare and i seen one for sale and it was going for about 45 to 50 grand. also the 93 cobra was kinda rare to they say there was only like 500 models built i dont know how true that is.

Hey, Guys-

  How come the LRS-1007QR 1979-93 17"  X 10"        5-lug Pony Wheel is listed as "rear fitment only"?

I need to use four wheels of the same size, and to "wide-track" my 1991 GT convertible into a G-machine. Happy New Year.

My brother is working on buying a 35k mile Orange 83 GT 5.0 5speed convertible - one of 44 if I understand correctly - has anyone seen one of those?  Its a one owner rust free car - been in a barn for 13 years.  Needs motor and interior.

January 6, 2008 12:13 AM
 

jmac said:

David,

While you may be able to make the 17x10 fit in the front, the returns would be very diminishing.  You would have to flare the fenders to a large extent & your turning radius would be increased greatly.  I personally run 17x9 with 275's in the front of my 93 & that is about the widest useful combination I would suggest.  Plus, when that 275 is an R compound, you won't be left wanting for more, I guarantee it!

Thanks, Jonathan

Rare Mustangs huh!!! I have some info to clear things up a little. There were only 107 cobra R's made in 1993 and only in 93 on a fox body. The cobra R then came back in the year 2000. In 1990 Ford, NCAA, and 7-Up bottling company came up with the "7-Up" mustang. 4,106 emerald green convertibles for this particular "rare mustang" was produced. Next in line we have the 1992 1/2 limited edition also known as a "summer special". Once again an LX convertible painted red, white leather interior and white pony wheels and a white convertible top complete with rear spoiler instead of that ugly luggage rack. Ford produced 2,019 according to muscle mustangs and fast fords magazine. Then to my personal favorite because i was an owner of one is the 1993 summer special edition convertibles. In 93 there were 2 types made. there was a "chrome yellow" model made wich had yellow paint, black leather interior, black convertible top and chrome pony wheels complete with rear spoiler and the 5.0 V8. Ford only produced 1,503 chrome yellow mustangs. And lastly they in Feb. 1993 they decided to build what they called the "triple white" or also known as "Vibrant white" mustang. White paint, white convertible top, White leather interior, white pony wheels, complete with rear spoiler and 5.0 V8. Ford only produce 1,500 of these in 1993. I was lucky enough to own one until some jack#!s hit me doing 40mph and totalled it, That guy was lucky i was unconciouse. Anyway that is what i know about the "rare" fox body mustangs. I still have pictures of my Triple white stang to help me remember what i had. hope this helped.

Kyle said:

I know they made a lot of 79s, but the Pace Cars and Cobras had the lowest production numbers. I have a 79 Ghia 302, they made around 30k, but I think the real question is how many are left and drivable. My Dad also has an 83 GLX 5L Convet. I know they made a few GT Converts. And they made a lot of GLX Converts, but most of those were the 6 banger, so again its a question of numbers now, compaired to back in the day.

I have some guy at work trying to tell me that he used to own a 89 GT Cobra mustang...he then goes on to tell me that it had a 351w from the factory.  He also told me that I wouldn't find anything on the net because it was soo rare that no one knew about it.  Can someone give me some info so I can tell this guy that he is full of Shi%.

BUGMAN said:

I own 30 fox bodies now and all of the Gt's say GT/Cobra on the title even though they are not true Cobra's. I have never heard of any of the Gt's especially 89's coming from the factory with a 351W.

The DMV knows every car that is out there so that is complete BS. Sounds like a ricer wannabe to me.

Vito said:

Yes anybody that owns a T-Top should be proud and carefull as sh!% when driving. i don't know the production #'s on them but i do know they are rare. I too rarely ever see one with t-tops, i can't even remember the last time i saw one. Hang on to that one as long as you can bro.

Hey I have a 1986 Mustang 5.0 LX T-Top, and has 98,000 on it. what is it worth?

March 25, 2008 1:15 PM
 

VIto said:

I am not sure what your LX T-Top is worth but if you really want to know a good resource would be "CPI Guide". (Cars of Particular Interest Guide) get in touch with them and they should be able to help you. Or you can purchase one of their little books. I need to buy one of their little books again myself. You can look them up on google just punch in "CPI Guide".

I see everyone talking about the 86 LX 5.0 Hatch with t-tops. I have an 86 GT 5.0 hatch with t-tops. Is that as rare as the 86 LX?

April 28, 2008 1:08 PM
 

Adam said:

I actually have an 86 GT hatch with t-tops as well, im trying to find production numbers because in january i wrecked it and all my friends are saying im stupid for spending so much time and money to fix it.

April 30, 2008 10:54 AM
 

Fred said:

I wouldn't say you're stupid at all. I call it an investment. Everyone I talk to who knows anything about the fox bodies says that they are going up in value and that clean ones are increasingly harder to find. I think the t-top models will just go up, up, up in value. Mine is the only one I have ever seen locally where I live. I have also tried to find production numbers for the t-top cars, but no luck.

I have a rare 1988 t-top LX 5.0.  I have been told only 500 were made.   Not sure, but everytime i go to a new shop people notice it.   It was built in September 1987, and classified as a 1988.  I have been told it is the last T-tops to hit the assembly line... can anyone confirm this?????

May 20, 2008 1:52 PM
 

Cliff said:

i wish i could find out how many 87 and 88 t-tops were made.. i own an 87 GT t-top, wierd part about it is it was produced in june '87 and still classified as an 87. i always though by june production, it wouldve been an '88. around here (houston tx) i still will see a few 4 eye t-tops running around, but have only seen 2 others in the last 6 years around here.. anyone have a clue where you can find prodution #'s on them.. probably impossible since they were built as hatchbacks and sent to become t-tops

May 31, 2008 3:59 PM
 

Mo said:

It appears that there were approxiamtely 300 T-tops in 88 made, where a majority were GT's...   No production numbers available...   Anyway,, one thing is certaing...T-tops are rare.

I have a 1984 Mustang Lx T-top Limited edition made in canada, does anyone know anything about this car? I was told that there were only 100 or so made which makes this very rare. Can anyone give me any info please.  Email me at   knight16@charter.net and in the topic area please put "MUSTANG" in bold letters.

Aaron said:

A while back someone asked about the 5.0 t-top Capri. I own an '86 RS t-top which, according to information I have found, is one of 282 built. Not ultra rare, but certainly one of the rarest standard production foxes. Unfortunately, I dont have specific 5.0 t-top production numbers for any other years, but in 85-86, t-tops accounted for 7%-7.5% of production across the full Capri range. I would think it's a safe guess that Mustang t-top production in those years would follow these percentages fairly closely. I read somewhere that two door fox body Granadas are some of the rarest foxes around, although they were seriously ugly, so I doubt this will make them collectable.

Aaron said:

Reguarding that '89 GT "Cobra". All Mustang GTs built for Canada from '85 to '90 (not 100% sure on the years, but I think this is right) had Cobra decals on the back of them. The Factory 351 story is likely complete B.S. To the best of my knowledge, there is still no EFI 351 intake that will allow the tall deck Windsor to clear a stock fox Mustang hood, and the only EFI 351 intake manifold Ford had in 1989 was the truck piece which is completely incompatable with the Mustang throttle body position. The only Ford built 351 powered Mustang (not counting Saleens and the like) produced since 1973 that I know of is the '95 Cobra R.

how about a 1989 almond hatchback. Only 236 were produced in this color (6V) and only 500 combined coupes/hatches ever produced (LX only).  I have one so i figured i'd represent.  they were all automatics, had every factory option including a sunroof. lol.

Chauncy S. said:

hey guys, sorry but I refuse to believe T-top hatchbacks are rare.  When I look through local classifieds or eBay, it seems like half the cars I see are T-top ones.  For some reason, I see a lot of 1988 T-top GT's, even though people claim they are so rare.  But I know in general, Ford sold a lot of Mustangs in 1988, so '88's in general are not too rare either, unless they are an uncommon color like the almond '89 mentioned above.  The only T-tops that are really rare are notchbacks.

Definitely no such thing as a factory 5.8L Fox Mustang.  

Also for people who own Canadian 87-93 GT's, sorry but your cars are NOT COBRA'S!!!! I am sick of seeing people claim their 1988 or 91 Mustang is a Cobra.

Aaron, a GT-40 lower manifold from a Lightning or 351 crate motor sold back in those days will work with a Cobra upper, GT40 Tubular upper, or Explorer upper, so yes you can use the Mustang style fuel injection (throttle body) on a 351.  Edelbrock and Trickflow also make aftermarket EFI manifolds for this.

Fred said:

Chauncy,

I look on ebay constantly for comparison cars to mine to see what they are going for. Yes, there are t-top cars on there, but very few. And the ones that are there are in such poor shape. I don't ever see any locally where I live in Washington state. Where do you live where there are so many?

November 24, 2008 12:23 PM
 

Vito said:

Chauncy,

   Sounds like you know what your talking about, but didn't the famed '93 mustang cobra R come with a 5.8??? I am not sure thats why i am asking. I know for a fact that the '93 cobra R came with a regular stock fox hood, but what was it that made it so special from the regular cobras of that year? what made it a "Cobra R"?? aside from the obviouse suspension and brake upgrades. i was under the impression that it was because it came with a 5.8L. But Like you said the deck height is too tall to fit under the stock hood of a regular fox. So did it have a bored and stroked 302?? Or did they use "dropped engine mounts"?? I would like to know, being a huge mustang enthusiast and an '87 GT owner myself i like to stay up on Fox Facts.

Frank said:

I just recently became a first time Mustang owner when I bought my best friend's '84GT T-top hatchback. What's funny about this particular car is that i can't find a picture of another car exactly like mine. For example;my car does not hav fog lights,yet every picture of an '84 GT I find it has fog lights below the bumper.There are a couple of other things that seem to be "different" about this car, at first I thought it might be a V-8 conv. but after checking it out it's not,the V-8 is org.. Regardless of how many Ford may have produced,I have only seen one other '84 GT and it's not a T-top.I love this  car and haven't batted an eye at replacing the whole drive train with hi-po parts from Ford Racing,Eibach, MSD,and Eldelbrock.The body is beautiful and under the car is clean!I plan on putting this thing on the street for manny more miles!

There are apparently a number of rare foxes out there.  My 89 Saleen qualifies.

Unit # 89-704 is a Tropical Yellow convertible (taupe colored top).  It is 1 of 3 Saleen convertibles produced in that color, and the only one that came equipped a with 3:55 rear gear (according to Liz Saleen).  Mustangs this color were produced by Ford in 88 and 89 only (in 88 it was called Mimosa Yellow-different name, same color and paint code). This was not a very popular color in either production year, thus to see a Fox of this color is quite uncommon.  I've seen maybe 10 or twenty over the years. Most of those were 4-banger notches and convertibles.

Tropical yellow is a rare color I have had one with tan interior.  There is a local guy here that has one that is a origional 5.0 5spd car. It's the only one I've ever seen.

The oxford white SVO is rare, but so is the 84 Cadet Blue SVO that was built for a Ford Executive. It is an absolutely beautiful color, I've seen it in person, belongs to a friend of mine. Also, if anyone here has a 86 T-top coupe with the buck tags still on it, please go to foureyedpride.com and share that info. That is one of the biggest discussions going on right now. Thanks.

ONE OF THE RAREST 5.0 MUSTANGS IN THE WORLD, IS A REAL RSSS-SGC-SC T/A-90-V8-A001 WITH A 12 SEC ET OFF SHOW ROOM FLOOR - THAT MAKES IT THE FASTEST 1990 S/C CAR YOU COULD BUY.......MILES 12987. IT DONT GET OUT TO PLAY MUCH.

This car is from the legenday racer and builder Ronnie Sox of Sox & Martin Racing. It was developed as a 25th anniversary edition car. It was originally sold out of Jackie Jones Ford in Atlanta, GA and is car #1 of 4 but I only know of one more and that's it. These cars were featured in the Super Ford Magazine October 1990 edition, article written by Donald Farr. I have this magazine also. This car has been stored for several years in a climate controlled area. It has very low miles and its all original except for some engine upgrades but I have the original parts. This is not a toy but a serious investment. In 2009 the car was appraised for $52.000.00 but will appraise for much more .

Some of the features are:

5.0 SC EQUIPMENT - PAXTON SUPERCHARGER 20LB WITH HYPERTECH COMPUTER / BOOST GAUGE

SPECIAL GROUND EFFECTS ONE OFF

WRAP AROUND REAR SPOILER ONE OFF

DRIVING LIGHT

QUAD EXHAST TIPS

PAINT GRAPHICS AND DECARS

ADJUSTABLE KONI STRUTS AND SHOCKS FULL RACE

KONI TRACTION CONTROL DAMPNER FULL RACE

SPECIAL KONI HIGH COMPRESSION SPRINGS FULL RACE

UPPER STRUT TOWER BRACE

LOWER LATERAL SUPPORT BRACE

REAR SHOCK TOWER BRACE

SUB FRAME CONNECTORS

INTERIOR ENHANCEMENT BRACE

REAR-WHEEL DISC BRAKES

ALUMINUM 5-SPOKE STAR WHEELS MADE SPECIALLY FOR THIS MUSTANG

SERIALIZED DASH PLAQUE

I just purchased an all original, 88' Triple white GT convertible with an automatic trans and air. The car has 45,000 original miles on it. I was told the triple white convertibles of that year had low production numbers and can't find how many were produced. Can anyone tell me?

My friend has it on a rotissery right now and is in the process of putting it back together. I'll see if I can get some pics when he's finished. I know I have some around here of it on the rotissery.

It's sad we can't find the production numbers for the T-Tops. Mine is a black 86 LX hatchback 5.0, 5-speed with T-Tops that I ordered back in Feb. 1986. There are some T-Tops around NW Ohio, mostly 87-88 GT's.

A few of my buddies had nice stangs as well,, but one of my buddies who WAS NOT a car guy, and had no interest or money towards hotrodding, needed a Cheap Beater,, he was spending $500,, one day i go by his house cause he paged me,, (we had pagers in 1999), lol,,   i show up and he has this MINT MINT,, 84 mustang Notch, it was a four cyl auto with wire wheels,, really not an attractive car, but it wasnt an LX,, it was just an "L" notchback,,  it was white with a Maroon Vinyl roof and Red PLAID interior,,, we thought nothing of it back then cause it was an ugly little car with about 90 horsepower, lol, but now that im about to get back in to mustangs again for the first time in 8 years,and about to start a winter 351 build,, i kinda wish mikey still had that "L" coupe sittin in his driveway cause to this day i have yet to see another one,,, im hoping to find a mid 80s clean body,, or if i really get lucky id like to find a capri cause my uncle had a black 84 when i was a kid, and i thought it was the balls,,   if anyone has any info on that "L" car feel free to hit me up,, ive seen and driven almost every foxbody stang, and like most can tell the year just by looking at it, i could pick an 89 out of a  Group of 87-93s, but still havnt seen another Vinyl roofed Mustang "L" coupe

SCOTTY2THAG said:

There aren't a whole lot of tropical yellow cars out there.  I've owned one in the past and there is a guy up here that has one as well.  They were both 4 cylinder cars that were converted but there were a few factory V8 cars as well.

I have an 88 LX coupe car. It has a 5.0 H.O., 5 speed tranny, limited slip 4 shock rear axle, and it was ordered WITHOUT a/c. Its white with a red interior. It has power mirrors, manual windows. I was told it was 1 of 13. I found an 85 v6 convertable. Not sure, but I think it would be rare.

A further brakedown of Mustangs in 1983:

64,234 were hatchbacks and 33,201 were coupes. There were a total of 23,438 GLX and GT Convertibles. After subtracting the 1001 GT Convertibles, 22,437 GLX's remained. Out of those, 5,368 were the optional GLX 5.0 Convertibles. This leaves 17,069 GLX V6 Convertibles out there.

About SCOTTY2THAG

My dad always worked on Airplanes and cars while I grew up and I was right there perched under the hood throughout my childhood so naturally being a car nut is engrained into who I am. I have a tendency to take on projects normal people would not attempt like swapping motors into cars they werent intended to go in or fabricating parts I need instead of buying them. It is a sickness and luckily for me there is no cure.
