The famed “Fox Body” Mustang is definitely one of the most popular cars on the continent. There are probably enough replacement parts to supply the model's owners until 2050, while the flexibility of the platform makes modification projects fairly simple to accomplish.

The sound of a 5.0L V8-powered Fox Body reminds me of my childhood and teenage years. And even though the value of these Mustangs is climbing rapidly, it’s still possible to find a nice, well-preserved example for a reasonable amount of money.
