me gusto el video disculpa vi un video del retorno del Chevrolet chevelle en 2 versiones techo duro y convertible para saber si es verdad ó mentira thanks
The Fox Mustang is the ultimate blank canvas. You can build anything you want, from a mild factory driver to a wide-body road course weapon. Thanks Shawn.
I turned 16 in 1985, my grandma bought me a brand new Fox Body 1985 GT Mustang 5.0 for my Birthday. Unfortunately my dad wouldn't let me have it but grandma secretly let me drive it anytime I wanted. I would get in my 78 Ford Fairmont and drive it to my grandmas, switch out cars so she'd take mine to work and I'd take the Mustang to school and football practice after. Any time I wanted to go cruising on the weekends with my buds...yes kids cruising was a thing back then....I'd switch out. Since then I have been enamored with the Fox Body and one day this 54 year old kid at heart will own one again.
@@gordocarboThey were $15k. A bargain back then. Someone would pay the same for a Ft wheel drive Olds Calais with a Iron Duke for the same money. Easy choice.
I worked on an M81 McLaren #9 or #10. Can’t remember off the top of my head. I want to say this guy reached out looking to buy one. If it’s the same guy I’m glad he made his dream come true. They are truly unique and cool cars!!
@@themoscowcoupattempt• so after watching this video I went into my files and found photos of the car I worked on. It was prototype #10. It was a bit of barn find. I have a lot of photos of it when I received it and during the work I did to it. Beautiful cars without a doubt.
@@Jarahako1Was that after it came out of the deceased owner’s collection in the Bay Area? I believe the #10 is in England now. Would love to find that one.
This is the coolest car on location wherever it goes. There are probably other cars that match it's cool level, but I don't think it gets any cooler than this
As a teenager of the 80s… I remember when this car came out, on that magazine cover! It has Beautiful lines and the 347 Blueprint engine is too sweet. Awesome suspension, can’t imagine it with IRS! This car is just pure, sexy! My buddy has a 408 Blueprint stroker, in his ‘69 Mach 1…. and he loves it. They make great engines!
Last few yrs were leaps and bounds better than the earlier ones Friend picked up a 90 or 91 Vert black it was noticeable quicker than my 86 and just nicer inside
@@gordocarbo They could all use a suspension upgrade but the sefi was great. I worked with someone who took off the FI and carbed their late 80s 350 camaro. The lx was lighter than the gt and way lighter than an F body. He couldn't help but comment on the acceleration, even with a 3.73.
@@AutotopiaLA NEver knew about these either. Had an orange 5.0 Capri just to flip back then This car is super cool love everything about it. Think he oughta leave the straight axle, call it a day and run it up at Willow Springs!
In the 90s 5.0 foxbodies were everywhere. For every primered civic with a K&N air intake and chopped exhaust with a hack job sound system, there was a 5.0 foxbody.
The mid late 80's is what revived the muscle car generation. Fox body's and Irocs. Even though the 5.0s only had 220 hp, they still ran mid to low 14's in the quarter mile. Some headers, heads, intake and slicks and your into the 12's.
@@AutotopiaLA Yeah for sure. When he mentioned 400hp (like that was bad), I was thinking that thing is an easy 12 second car. Perfect for the street and won't get away from ya. I miss the 80's, thanks for the nostalgia.
@@Ironwind1972 Feel the same way....the troll post from kids think a bigger hp number means everything. For this chassis its just right. 12s back then was pretty fast for a st car even 13s was respectable
Depends on the track DA tires, driver. Most ran 15s but saw a few run times you mentioned. First thing I did when I got my 86 in 87 was run down to Galpin FOrd in Van Nuys and get their Ford racing book & burned up that visa!
I love that you guys always pull up with these unique cars. My mom used to work for California Mustang in city of industry, CA. I vividly remember seeing a poster of this car in there sales office. Crazy to actually see it in action, so freaking awesome!!!!
Thanks for this one, and thanks to the owner for sharing it. Growing up in Miami in the 80’s the IMSA look was hot. So many widebody examples, so many shops doing it then. To see one done with a good mix modern parts and staying period correct. Glad he didn’t add wiper spoilers like so many did then!
Loved the intro and @0:19 you made me smile with the music and video. Nicely synched with humorous elements. I'm not even a "mustang Guy" per se yet cannot help but love this little warthog of a machine. Wicked cool.
In the early 80’s I owned a ‘79 Mustang with the Cobra package. When the local Ford dealer was paid a visit by the McLaren team I naturally had to check it out. I never knew what happened to it until now. Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could do a 1992 Pontiac Firebird Firehawk. My ultimate dream. But now that I am fully disabled at 49 years old and can’t work to get the money anymore to do my dream and live to drive one someday. My ultimate dream has become a long lost dream that will never be possible now. Awesome mustang brother. Love the videos. Awesome rides.
I thought he looked familiar he's got a really really famous custom turbo g body 911. I hate the term "outlaw" but that's what it would be considered. no wonder this is so spot on. its the same as has 911, everything you'd want done is done and the cool factor is thru the fucking roof!! just a killer car just as cool as his g body. im a turbo Porsche fanatic and I used to race foxbodies. this just reminds me of my factory order quad light '86 gt with to stickers or emblems from the factory in black. I love these cars. outstanding build bro!! cheers
Its obviously fox body, but it’s amazing how much the 3rd gen Camaros looked the same. The set back headlights. The front clip, the nascar inspired spoiler.
There are over 470 comments, has anyone asked What Exhaust system is on this McLaren Mustang? 2 1/2 pipe or 3 inch pipes, Mufflers / brand, etc.???? Sound really great and brings music to my ears!!
Mega. Bitchin. Dude! This is how you widebody a car, no generic rivet crap from Ebay View of the rear of these cars til 80s has a muscular/classic appearance even back then. Wheels are similar to the Enkeis we ran back then. Perfect, not too much no shortcuts either
Had an 1987 Fox body 5.0 LX trim. It was 300 lbs lighter than the GT. Also, coming up behind people it looked like the high pursuit CHP cop cars from back in the day. Legend has it there was a bright red light that sometimes would flip on. Hee Hee
How do you keep finding these muscle car gems?!!! Looks amazing. It’s what mad max would drive if he was a street racer. It’s got lots of IMSA vibes. Great work AutoTopiaLA!

You were bought a new 5.0? Grams musta really liked you!
Grandma❤❤❤❤❤
@@gordocarboThey were $15k. A bargain back then. Someone would pay the same for a Ft wheel drive Olds Calais with a Iron Duke for the same money. Easy choice.
'85 was the best year ,bar none, to have out off all. Last year with a carb and all the best parts. A shame you didn't keep it.
I worked on an M81 McLaren #9 or #10. Can’t remember off the top of my head. I want to say this guy reached out looking to buy one. If it’s the same guy I’m glad he made his dream come true.
They are truly unique and cool cars!!
Was it Orange or White? The #9 car is the White one.
Such a cool unique and obviously rare one to own
@@AutotopiaLA- Agreed. As always great videos!

I remember this Mustang in magazines in the 80's! This was a genuine treat to watch & listen to!
Such a special unique one to get to shoot!
The 4 eyed stangs strike me as the 69 Camaro of Fords
@gordocarbo That's a excellent analogy.
Stoked you finally did a FoxBody. Couldn’t have picked a better one.
He’s done a few foxbodys now
@@Louielou50 oh yea. Just searched and am watching the teal one now. Thanks man.
The owner is the love child of Richard Rawlings and Magnus Walker.
Get you some of that woooo
LMAO 🤣😂
Wind swept and interesting.
I totally see it.
I thought he was Edward Norton at the beginning of the video 😅
friend had a Capri like this late 80's in High school. car ripped. brings back memories thanks
Shawn you and Autotopia LA just keep knocking it out of the park, awesome !
Thank you…my team kicks ass!!

I had one of the last foxes, a 93 5.0 lx fastback. I loved that thing.
I just bought a 93 with a Vortech V-1... People go crazy over it
Last few yrs were leaps and bounds better than the earlier ones
Friend picked up a 90 or 91 Vert black it was noticeable quicker than my 86 and just nicer inside

So crazy this popped up. I just saw this car in Sherman oaks. I was going to give him a thumbs up but he was ahead of me
Wow, what a bad ass car!!!! tastefully done!!
The wheel fitment is on point!
Stance couldnt be more perfect!
The anxiety of the first initial couple hundred miles is no joke! Glad he wasn't afraid to talk about it!
He’s a cool guy and was completely honest about his current anxiety waiting for something to go wrong…and the car drove perfectly!
That is such a cool car! I never knew they existed before this.
I found out about a year ago when I first saw pics of this one. Stoked we got to finally shoot it!
@@AutotopiaLA NEver knew about these either. Had an orange 5.0 Capri just to flip back then
This car is super cool love everything about it.
Think he oughta leave the straight axle, call it a day and run it up at Willow Springs!
Outstanding rendition
I'm the proud 3rd owner of a 57k mile '92 Calypso 5.0 5spd hatch. LOVE this McLaren version!
Great color man. Put lotsa miles on it!
In the 90s 5.0 foxbodies were everywhere. For every primered civic with a K&N air intake and chopped exhaust with a hack job sound system, there was a 5.0 foxbody.
But then there was this…slightly more rare
Was the same in the 80s, too. The term ricer was originally for that era of hondas lol.
scarlet and gold wheel combo is perfect !
My old boss has one it's got like 40,000 miles on it original everything. It's a fun beautiful car
Wow! Thats awesome
That's one badass machine and presentation; great job to all involved with this!!! 😎👍
Never thought i would enjoy a Fox Body Story ! Thumbs up from Germany
I'm drooling over here. I love those old four headlight cars.
Same here...had a Capri 5.0 85 and 86 GT.
Back then nobody wanted them I always thought they had a classic yet aggressive look.
Probably best auto show on you tube
Thank👊 you
@@AutotopiaLA anytime you know im a big supporter of the show ..
Agree..only one I watch anymore. Rest are timewasting clickbait
@@gordocarbo this and House of Muscle .. I like Mike Musto and Lenos garage
Definitely and I appreciate it 👊
Your editor does an amazing job. Great team
Thanks and I agree. He’s a badass
Very cool. My pick for Featured Car this year.
It’s a special one for sure
Love this. Not overdone.
Class and a rare one
Agree....too many are or too personalized and come off as tacky or dated in a few yrs.
This one has it all!

@@Ironwind1972 Agree...had a couple as a teen in the 80s and 400 is about right.
Enough to have plenty of fun but not put you in a coffin.

Best old car on the channel yet!
This is a special one
As a previous Ford technician back in the day and a FOXBODY FOR LIFE GUY... I LOVE THIS!
Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many actually exist now!
First saw this concept on a poster in the mid-80's and haven't seen it again until now, very cool.
I Love Mustangs, Thats a great complementary Story of Mustang Models that I never seen or heard of, Thanks for all that details!!...
One of the rarest Foxes. I have the Monogram model of this.
So rare!! Very cool car
Finally some Fox body action awesome!
We’ve done a couple others but this is by far the most rare & unique one we’ve shot
This is one of many Mustangs I want to get & collect from the early 60's to the latest
Best fox body build ever. Makes me want one. Let’s see it with a little more juice and that IRS :)
This is such a badass and rare one! Loved getting to drive and ride in it
Any more power he would have a tough time getting it to the ground.
Has to make well over 400 ft lbs
Thanks for this one, and thanks to the owner for sharing it. Growing up in Miami in the 80’s the IMSA look was hot. So many widebody examples, so many shops doing it then.

Makes me luv Fox body Stang's even more!
Four eye fox bodies all day long!
The stying was way ahead of its time the widebody looks amazing
Agreed. Such a killer design
This widebody is perfect! Not too much, flows well not tacky in the least
Foxes are my favorite cars. That fox is easily one of my top 3 favorite cars on the channel.
It’s a special one for sure. Can’t wait til we get ours done with Ruffian Cars building it!
@@AutotopiaLA yes, can't wait to see the finished product.
In the early 80’s I owned a ‘79 Mustang with the Cobra package. When the local Ford dealer was paid a visit by the McLaren team I naturally had to check it out. I never knew what happened to it until now. Thanks for sharing!
That is one rare pony car right there! WOW.
Super rare and so well done
less rare now with all the modern bullshit he did to it.
@@alexander1485 Period correct for sure. Factory racing was popular then
Seriously love this car. Shame they did not make more. Great body kit. This one is a beauty!
Love this video. First new car I ever bought was a Mustang. 79 4cyl Holley with a header from factory. Paid $5000. Drove the wheels off it.
Nice ride. Glad to see he wasn't afraid to upgrade the drive train and suspension.
Lots spent on the suspension I bet it handles super well
I like how they intro music was cut from hoonigan videos and Mr Zachary just dropped a video with the same Mustang. Its a badass ride for sure!
Zac and I thought it would cool to release both our videos on the same day. His is badass!
@@AutotopiaLA You two should do a video together!
A Capri with a Mustang hatch/glass . Well done
Bad ass episode digging the fox !
Thanks and I love this thing!
Bro that’s so cleannnnn
Love it!

Perfect! Just Perfect!
Totally agree
I never was fan of the Fox body!! But this thing is awesome!! Congrats to the owner!! and Sean, thanks for bring us this video!! 👌🏻✨😎✌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. This is a special one
Great car, these and the 3rd gen F bodies were really light, and perfect for resto-mods today.

I appreciate this comment immensely. Hope to get Shawn in my 911 soon.
This car is sick
What a beautiful build! I love the wide body look on a fox body Mustang.
Love this mustang. Looks a lot closer to the 1982 Enduro prototype, being that it has the V8.
This has to be the most unknown of the rare cars ever and it’s amazing.
That's a really bad ass rare car. Video was sic! Just needed Van Halen Jump! Nice job guys really nice job
VH would’ve been cool. Love this car! Such a rare unique one
I love this car! So glad you did an episode on it!
Same here! And Mister Zachary did a kick ass episode too
@@AutotopiaLA I’m subbed to him too, I’ll check it out!
Coolest Fox Mustang ever, it's just perfect in every way.
Its obviously fox body, but it’s amazing how much the 3rd gen Camaros looked the same. The set back headlights. The front clip, the nascar inspired spoiler.
The best Gbody look. The world needs more of these. 3d scan that thing, market the kits- so they live on
Almost sounds like there’s a blowoff valve in it. Such a cool sounding SBF
Really cool sounding ride
I noticed that also. Holley Snipers make a similar sound, that's probably what we're hearing.
This is perfection!!!!!
Agreed
@@AutotopiaLA your channel is the best for us gen xers
Car is so sweet doesn't get any better than that
Wow, these roling shots are great 8:12
Thanks…the team is killing it!
I like the fender flares. Look different unique
They needa remake this kit , RIGHT NOW!!!
That would be sick!
Man you're the best guy in the world !!❤❤
Insanely cool and very intriguing build!
There are over 470 comments, has anyone asked What Exhaust system is on this McLaren Mustang? 2 1/2 pipe or 3 inch pipes, Mufflers / brand, etc.???? Sound really great and brings music to my ears!!
My car. 2.5 inch stainless with custom x-pipe. Magnaflow mufflers w/ 3 inch tips.
Mega. Bitchin. Dude! This is how you widebody a car, no generic rivet crap from Ebay
View of the rear of these cars til 80s has a muscular/classic appearance even back then.
Wheels are similar to the Enkeis we ran back then. Perfect, not too much no shortcuts either
I had an 85 , my first car
💪🏾
thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love your presentations overall, and this one put it right on top 👏 Amazing looking Fox, well done!
Thank you and this is such a special rare car
What a beauty in great shape!
Unique car but I can tell it was worth the money 👌🏻
What an INCREDIBLE car. Thank you for sharing this hide jewel 💎.
She reminds me the Maserati Shamal…
I appreciate that you never broke the speed limit.
Shocked this wasn't an LS motor car..staple of this channel.
Beautiful design, love the flairs, hood, ect.
Nothing but love for the push rod engine and fox body! Bad @$$
When all hope was lost the Fox Body stood tall ❤
Great rolling shots! CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
erinnert mich an König Special : over the top but great and never gets old
This guy is a cool dude!!..car is done nice!
Really cool and did this car right
100% bro!
Amazing Mustang and memories 🔥😎
Such a beast car🙌🏿
Love it!
Had an 1987 Fox body 5.0 LX trim. It was 300 lbs lighter than the GT. Also, coming up behind people it looked like the high pursuit CHP cop cars from back in the day. Legend has it there was a bright red light that sometimes would flip on. Hee Hee
How do you keep finding these muscle car gems?!!! Looks amazing. It’s what mad max would drive if he was a street racer. It’s got lots of IMSA vibes. Great work AutoTopiaLA!
