I was so excited I left out some details about the car like 4 wheel disc Cobra brake conversion, 5 lug swap, tubular K member, MM control arms, etc. Lots more to come on this car in the near future though and I hope you 'll stick around and watch it's evolution (PS - yes the wrap is coming off).
You actually paid $65,000? Talk about overpaying for a car..
Lots of Upgrades NICE I've been looking out for a good deal on a Notch that needs some love for a cheap price 👊💪🇺🇸🦊
@@B49nope That was what it went for in the first auction, in my auction (the third one) it went for $37,500. This was in the video. Don't know if you saw it.
Matt we need a new video bro!!! I'm going to bring a shifty to you to review one of these days at one of the shows!
So cool to see this car again. Best fox body build ever!!
Crazy how much a car will change when it changes ownership. This mustang was so clean before.. I always thought it was one of the coolest looking fox bodys. Curious to see what you’ll do with it!
Wrap is already coming off, stay tuned!
I’m so excited for you, Matt! This is by far my favorite Fox build, ever. I’m glad to hear that you are going to restore it to its previous glory. I’m looking forward to seeing this beauty at Mustang Week…. 💪🏼
Thanks so much dude! I'm Stooooooked about it.
Heck yeah, congratulations! I remember when Matt was building this car. Can't wait to see it in person! Oh and as always I'm just here for the bloopers LOL
Hey Tom! Yeah I was just thinking how I should be using a cover for the wind like you always told me too and yet I still haven't lol
Congratulations Matt! Looking forward to all the content you’ll create with this one 🙌🏽
Thank you!
You know I’ve been waiting for this video and can’t wait to see more on this car. Super jealous but happy for you for being able to finally scoop this car up.
Thanks Tim! Took me a long time to put it out lol
Finally the video comes out Matt 😁 it's definitely been a while since I have commented on anything super stoked you got that car I know you've been wanting that for quite some time I remember when you were first talking about getting it back in some earlier days of the channel when it was up for sale one of the times I believe on bring a trailer... So cool that you got one of your dream fox bodies by the way love the pattern on the door panels and the original seats from the build
Man you've definitely been around a long time buddy! Thank you. But yeah this car and video has been some things I'm waiting on forever lol
I've been looking forward to this video, congratulations on the sweet ride!!!
Me too and thanks so much!
I always wondered what happened to it after Farrah’s built it. Glad to see it again! CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
Now that I've got the Canadian Superman approval i'm good to go! LOL
Can’t wait to see the rest of this series. I have a 93 SSP and was going to mention the 1 key, which it does not have. Also you can tell with the vin on the door. I listen to the smoking tire and that car still gets referenced from time to time.
A 93 SSP, nice!!!! Yeah you're not an SSP , video with more details coming soon, I'm glad he brings it up every now and then.
Congratulations! That is a cool car. You're going to love throwing that Mustang around on course. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos about the car, and to seeing you at autocross events this season!
Thanks dude, can't wait to do some autocross with you
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I remember when Matt Farrah built this Coupe!!! It's in Great hands Now!!! So cool man... Cheers 🏆🏆🏆💯💯💯🏁🏁🏁👊🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for saying that and I"m so excited!!!!
Too cool buddy. Congratulations- can’t wait to see more 🤩
Thanks Gary!
Congrats. I’ve been waiting to see this one. I watch Matt’s ST build on it also. Sweet car!!!
Awesome! Thanks, lots coming for it.
Congratulations buddy! Will be waiting for more content on this!
Thanks a ton! Lots coming.
Matt F was on the JRE podcast. And they talked about the car in depth a little more on the podcast too. That’s actually how I found out about the car.
Oh I didn't know they covered this car. I knew he was on it. I need to go back and listen to it then. Thanks.
As an avid autocrosser, and Road racer. I would recommend driving the car first! (Make it run good and safe of course..) don't modify it any further beyond that. Spend a season driving it how it is, and learn what the car actually needs for you. It's different for every driver style.
Warhorse is a legend! Good luck with him as your instructor. Your in great hands there.
I agree with you, and that's definitely the current plan.
Congrats!!! Such a cool car. I remember seeing it when “the other Matt” owned and watching his videos on the car several times.
Hey Josh! Thanks me too man. I'm really excited about it.
Let’s gooo Matt miss the videos glad your fired up🤟🏻
Thanks buddy. I took a break beginning of last year, but been pretty consistent since mid May or so.
Congrats! Can't wait to see what the plan is for the extra 100 horse.
Thanks man!
Nice score! That car has inspired me to build my notch similar!!! Congrats on your new purchase:)
Oh that's so cool and thank you, I'm really excited about it.
Dang MATT. Thanks for sharing. That is an amazing car. Keep the content coming. Hope you guys have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
I"m really excited Tim and thank you as always!!!
Oh wow! Awesome buddy! Third time’s a charm right? Super cool and glad you finally landed it….your “unicorn”. Looking forward to seeing it this year. Question of the day…will it get AC added??? You know how these summers get around here. Excited for the content Matt!
That's right 3rd time is the charm! I think maybe it will get A/C but haven't decided yet. If it doesn't I'll be sad for sure driving it around lol
That's awesome Matt! I could tell how excited you were. I remember this car on his channel, but it was before the white wrap as you mentioned. I just remember watching a black 5.0 on his channel. I don't remember the spot light though.
Very excited! Yeah they added the spotlight and the wrap after. Going to be removing those things.
Whoa. Very cool purchase Matt!
Thanks Mike!
That’s cool. I’ve always like this car. As rwb dreamer/ foxbody owner this car always spoke to me. Congrats
Thanks, me too obviously lol
This is awesome I always wondered what happened to this car. Definitely gonna stay tuned in to watch!
Thanks, lots of content coming.
Awesome congrats!! This build definitely changed the Foxbody market for the better.
I totally agree! Thank you
I started watching your channel and actually subscribed to it because I love mustangs and I just happened to be the father of a 21 year old auburn haired daughter who loves mustangs and seeing what you did with buying your daughter the 86 4 eye kinda hit me in the feels. So seeing this video really was a massive punch in the gut for me to be honest. there is no way in hell that car is worth $37,500 and now I think I have figured out why this channel's videos do not seem to get the views I originally thought it should in my opinion. I believe that you and several of your fellow "mustang lovers creators" are simply having these privately held online auctions and simply passing these cars around between each other generating multiple sales records of insane prices and artificially driving up the price of these cars so you guys could make a lot of money selling the cars that y'all have stock piled. Now if I am wrong about this then I will apologize but I don't think I am and that is disappointing. BTW you said in the video that you lowered your daughters 86 mustang that you thought the AOD transmission had a shift kit in it because it shifted like it did it most likely doesn't you change the transmission TV cable and you didn't set the cable to the proper specs and that is wahts making the car shift like that just loosen the tension slightly and the car should shift nor mal but as long as it isn't too extreme the way it is it should not cause any major problems. Anyway I just wanted to say that and I will not be posting anymore comments to your channel after this and I am glad I watched this video.
I appreciate you checking out the channel and giving it a chance. You're certainly entitled to your opinion about the prices on this and other Mustangs and I won't bother arguing with it as I've been doing UA-cam long enough to know there is not point in doing that. I will ask Matt at Fox Mustang Restoration about the TV cable, but I believe it is installed correctly because it shifted that way too before I replaced the TV cable as well. Thanks for watching and giving the channel a chance. Best wishes to you and your daughter going forward.
Matt!!!!! I have been waiting for quite a while for this video to drop!!!! I am claiming my ride in this one too!!!! As a passenger!!😜 … Good luck with this one and looking forward to the upgrades and the updates on Nemisis!! As always luving them bloopers!!👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I know you have Joe and yeah man you're definitely welcome for a ride along! Thanks and gotta have them bloopers lol
That’s a major score! Congratulations.
For sure and thank you!
Congratulations! That’s a notorious car to own. 100hp more, sounds like a Vortech job!
Thanks dude and yes it does doesn't it! Heh heh.
Such a cool Fox.....I followed TST's build, was it really THAT long ago? Wow! But she's in great hands now and I'm looking forward to lots of content. Congratulations! :)
Time flies don't it!
Congratulations Matt!
Thanks
I'm so excited about this!! I remember when Farah had it. It was my whole reason for following him. Unfortunately, we were all let down with the lack of content. As far as more power, i think a polished V3 with heritage gears would be fitting =)
Glad to hear you're excited about it! I will have a lot more content later this year on it. However, I'm not a million sub YT channel like Farah, lol.
Awesome score Matt! Love this unit!!!
Thanks and me too!
Congratulations Matt!! I don’t think I’ve seen you this excited since Tarheel Fox was painted! Always feels great to get something you’ve wanted!!! Been waiting on this content! Let’s gooooo
Also, the second key unleashes the 700hp 😂😂
You might be right dude! Gotta be 704 HP though right? lol
@@GearHead704 That’s it! Lol
Congrats Brother! It's an awesome Fox!
Thanks OG! I'm stoked.
Thanks!
I think this is only the second one I've ever gotten, so thank you so much!
Congratulations… very cool car & looking forward to more videos about it
Hey Mike! Thanks a lot man.
Looks great buddy!
Thanks 👍
Tap on the IAC valve with a wrench see if the idle drops if it doesn't you might have a vacuum leak check the pcv valve in the back of the motor follow the hose 🔧🚗🦊👊💪🇺🇸
Great ideas FordTech! Appreciate you man.
GH704, Should be a great project to keep up with! 🤟
I think so too, thanks Andy!
Along with being a longtime subscriber of yours, I have been a subscriber of Warhorse racing. He has a lot of good auto cross information with results.
You definitely have Mike and I couldn't agree with you more about Warhorse. Dude is awesome.
Congratulations on the notch man! Always loved the 295's all around with the IRS on this car. PLEASE put an LX front bumper back on it.haha Can't wait to see more of the car and whatever direction you go with it. Again congratulations!
Thank you! Yes, gootd catch it's got a Saleen front right now.
you know it would look better with an LX bumper back on it. Black paint....may as well.@@GearHead704
Congrats on the new buy. And remember you can NEVER have too many foxbodys! Lol
Thanks and oh for sure NEVER! lol
Love the new Fox bro!!
Thanks Jim!
It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt world! Hey, how's it going man. Sweet car! Yeah, I have been autocrossing since 2018. It's a blast! Especially in a fox. I was going to suggest it, but you already know about Warhorse Racing. That channel has been my go-to for years! He absolutely knows his stuff. Let us know where and when you plan on autocrossing. I'd love to race with you or give you a ride-along in mine. Take care Matt. I'll be watching for you at shows again this year
LOL, all the Matt's!!!! Ok for sure, i'll be posting on my social media about when I plan to go AutoX. Thanks!
That’s awesome. He dumped a lot of money into that car and didn’t like it at then end. Good buy!!! I love it.
Thank you, I figured it would be easier to buy one like this than build it.
Fox body owner here, I literally just saw the Hooligans video on that car yesterday, cool biy man
Oh really? Wow, cool timing.
Nice score! Maybe I’ll get to check it out in person sometime!
I should have it at the shop at some point or at an event, so that may work out
Matt, that's one nice Mustang. Interesting build like those rims.
Thanks Robert, I think so too!
Congratulations, Matt, such a cool car. I regret getting rid of my fox, I love the pp2 but still wish I hadn't sold the fox. Any way hope all is good brother..🇺🇸
Thanks man, hopefully you'll get another one some day!
Congrats on the car man!
Thanks buddy
Good score Matt. I remember when Matt built that car. That's one bad a** fox. The cam in that engine is an e cam that's a ford racing M-6007-X302 crate engine. Again bro keep up the good work.
Thanks and I appreciate the info on the engine and the cam!
@gearhead704 you can rotate the handle on the a Pilar spot light
That's true. Should have done that in the video.
Hands down my fave notch!!!!!
That's awesome to hear! Wrap is in the process of coming off.
I remember this build 👍🏽🔥👍🏽🔥
Crazy how time flies!
I like that shirt Matt and great content as always 👌 its a e cam in the crate motor
Thanks, I thought it was a funny shirt myself. Yeah so many people are in the comments like "e cam" and I had no idea lol
Please put it back to how Farah finished it. All black, Recaro Pole Positions, less cop stuff.
Oh that's definitely happening
Very nice ...... congrats 👍🏼
Thank you so much 😀
I hope you do a lot vids on this car!
Definitely in the plans.
Yessssss
Hah hah, you know it!!!!!
Cool car Matt
thanks, it's like Mcdonalds, I'm loving it.
Awesome score. Always wondered where the car went and why he sold in first place?? Please remove the wrap for the love of God! And easy power fix is a nice little Vortech. ;) PS cam is almost certainly an E303 unless someone swapped it out for another.
Thanks man, the wrap is definitely coming off! I got another plan for the engine so stay tuned and thanks for wathcing.
Nice video!! My Orange mustang is up for sale! All good stuff! 45K. 630 WHP on 13 psi!
Oh man, well it's a great buy for someon. Good luck with the sale Frank!
Yes!! First like. I like Matt Farah.
Nice! Obviously as you are watching the video you can see I was a fan of his as well.
@@GearHead704 I can see that. Matt F is talking about a new foxbody build.
Ive had 5 foxbodies and stupidly sold all but 1. The 1 i sold to keep my family from being homeless. They all had a xoioe and dumps b4 the axle. Sounds best to me
That's a great sound
and this...this is my BOOMSTICK!!!!
lol, love it!
More video on this car pls!!!!! What kind of hre wheels are those?
More coming. HRE RS105s
Glad to see its got a ford motor in it coming from him
Yup, and will always have one even if I change it.
its cool because it was Matt's and what he did to that car, but man It sure looked better when it was his.
Agreed, wrap had to go.
Congrats Matt on your new addition, already seen the car on woman driven channel, can't wait to see
what's in store for it.
Thanks Paul and I'm glad you caught those! Lot more content coming soon.
Congrats man love that car! Are you able to say boom stick?
Hah hah, I love Bruce Campbell!!!!
Any info on the spotlight? What brand, model, or where I can buy one? Congratulations on the purchase, definitely
a cool Fox!
Thanks, unfortunately I don't have any details on the spotlight, it just came with the car. I'll be taking it off at some point and may have more info on it then.
Looks killer!! What is the wheel tire combo?
Thanks. HRE RS105 on 295/30/18
Looks like where you filmed Chris’ silver dech coupe
Yup same spot buddy!
OMY Love That LOL The Addiction is REAL 😍🦊🚗🐎👊💪🇺🇸
So real!!!!!! lol
Almost 40k for that car? That's crazy. Awesome you got your dream car man. 40k seem like alot of money for that car. But what the hell do I know. That's s550 price fully loaded, making more power. I miss the old days when you can pick up a fox for 5k and 10k for super clean one.. Great you are pushing your dream car brother.
It's quite high for sure. At least I got a better deal than the previous two, as with inflation 35k in 2021 is like 42k now. Crazy. Thanks man.
It isn't always about what makes more power. The s550 is dime a dozen everybody has that those. You can't compare an old unique car to a dime a dozen newer car. With that said the price is steep but it is kind of a famous car and it's very very nicely done.
@@midnight347 I appreciate the reply. I really enjoyed reading it.
Hey if you ever want to sell it….i was just trying to track it down and here i am. And 65k? It was $35k on BAT so that’s a wild price jump
The thing inside with orange tip is called a boomstick
LOL, I love that just like from Army Of Darnkess and Bruce Campbell. this is my BoomStick! lol
Hey Matt, are the turnbuckles still in place under the front fenders like in the pics while the car was at MM when the flares were being installed? Or was that simply for mock up?
I've got a video filmed where it's on the lift, hopefully I put that up in the next couple of weeks and you can check it out.
Cool car, you deserve it.
Thanks so much.
Hi. Hope everyone is doing well
Always good to see you in the comments Chrsi!
Pew-pew mount..
lol
Race it!
Definitely gonna happen
Great investment
Thanks.
Can't wait to see where this purchase brings your channel for the new year and years to come. Congratulations!!!@@GearHead704
I remember the first video he did with this car
Crazy to think how long it's been.
@@GearHead704 it is. Can’t wait to see your content with it. Such a nice pick up. I had wondered what had happened to it
E303 cam, GT40 aluminum heads. Rated at 330 hp
Thanks, didn't realize it was an E303
What are the specs on those wheels to fit 295 squared
Try this time stamp in the video where I cover that: ua-cam.com/video/V3pnVmrVQg4/v-deo.htmlsi=vYaTklRxUCZNGaaz&t=279
Take the white vinyl off ASAP and do a paint correction
Yup, the wrap is coming off 100%
Also that idle problem is probably a tear in one of ur vacume lines
Definitely going to do a smoke test.
Great video Buddy, ever need a spare driver again I'm your man!
Hah hah, I may take you up on that buddy! Thanks again for getting TarHeelFox home safe after Foxtoberfest
You will have a real short day on the track with those brakes. You need to get the front Cobra R kit. It’ll bolt right on and take all the abuse you give them
I see. Gonna burn through these first. Maybe I'll look at the Cadallic Brembos too.
All cop things have to go even white wrap!!!!!!
100% agreeed
I need to start a channel, my build is heavily inspired by Matt Ferrahs and TopNotch
You should go for it.
please bring me this car!!!!
lol, talking to Matt about it shortly
Love the car!! I don't understand how it's wide body tho..... it has molded fender flares for wider track width and the body isn't wider. Oops. Not molded. Just saw closer
Yeah just fender flares, guess not a true wide body ,that's fair.
@@GearHead704 killer car though. Lucky man
Why would they paint it? It looked so much better when it was first done.
Luckily it's just a wrap but yeah I agree with you, the white's gotta go.
