Me and my dad did something like it but we didn’t do anything super crazy with the motor besides stripping it down to the block and boring it out 6 over and we put a cam 302 in it so it chops now and sounds amazing. The car has so much torque in 1st gear that it wants to jump 😂. The car is amazing we still haven’t tuned the engine and I can’t even imagine what kind of horsepower it has now!
@@rosspayne88I completely agree. There are so many clean examples that have been modified just a bit they could have gotten. There can't be many out there like this. It's a piece of history that should be left intact.
@@andrewsargent3874it's nothing but a fox 5.0. hell, we have 4 in the yard and two are very low mile examples. The Svo is the lowest mile one we have and is almost completely stock but still looks as it did in 1986. Minus a killer stereo and turbo upgrade. Stock turbos were really tiny
As a fan of these cars, don't mess it up guys, just make it faster refresh paint and interior wheels and that's it, you don't have to put alot of carbon or wide body kit! Keep it simple, but hey I have hope for you to make it better, so I will definitely going to follow this series!
Oh man! The collab we needed and the car we didn’t know we deserved! Really excited for the fox body! Big fan of those and that’s a beautiful example. Excited to see what you guys got for it!
seeing you guys mod cars that you have an emotional attachment to are great -- quinn's reaction in the car and mickey's rundown in the cockpit made me appreciate this video more. keep it up throtl!
Absolutely love this color combo. That plaid tweed was the best in red. Wish I could find one like that. ‘89 was the year I graduated high school, so this year Mustang holds a special place with me.
I opened UA-cam and my heart just dropped, my grandfather was gifted a 1985 ford mustang that looked just like this. He unfortunately was unable to enjoy it much because he passed away in 1985 during the earthquake in Mexico, a building collapsed while he was parking in the underneath parking garage. I have been looking for one to fix up and give it to my mother as a gift, But it is really hard to find one that I can afford.I was literally on Facebook marketplace last night looking for one. I’m excited to see this build
Exactly.. To be really honest that car looks perfectly fine to me as it is original really hard to find one today in such good preservation condition inside-out and with all accessories & papers even the dealer window stiker..? damn ! if they will slam 'it to the ground they will totally ruin it, btw i'm European..
I had an ‘89 GT that was black with red interior and it was an absolute blast. Granted back in the early 00’s the aftermarket support wasn’t near what it is now. But nonetheless, great cars! Almost a shame to tear into this unmolested car but I’m sure the end results will be great as usual Fun fact the 5.0 from this era was actually just shy of being a true 302. It was more like a 301. But Ford bumped the liter number to keep the 5.0
You're thinking of the liter designation. The engine displaces 301.6 cubic inches (rounds to 302...), but only 4.94 liters. So it's technically a 4.9 liter. Many magazines back in the day loved to call it a 4.9L in their tests. Ford called it a 5.0 to separate it from the 300 straight 6 which was also referred to by Ford as their 4.9L engine.
So siiiiiick!!!! Crazy I’m seeing this cuz I just pulled the cover off my dads super rare mint 93 mustang cobra, teal blue, black interior and sunroof yesterday. He’s been hiding it under a carport for like 10 years now untouched covered. Was afraid the rats got to it but luckily not a single thing wrong. Waiting for the better weather (tomorrow) to drain the old gas and get it ready to run again.
My dad has a 1992 ford mustang GT fastback convertible. It originally was white with the red pin striping just like this one. It has the stock silver 5 spoke rims. We re did the interior and changed it to grey and black. We also changed the color to a navy blue. We upgraded the motor and it has a cam 302 in it now. This is amazing still seeing these cars making a comeback! So excited to watch someone upgrade one of these!
I had 2 foxbodies. A 91 triple white vert gt then traded that one in for 93 black gt. Back in the day when someone asked what you drive we said five point oh and everyone knew exactly which muSTANg we were referring to. My 93 had full suspension, full exhaust, 3:55’s , short throw shifter and cold air intake that car was super fun to drive.
Don’t change those seats!! So perfect and they look super comfortable lol. I vividly remember my friends fox-body in high school when we discovered you could not load a cd into the player if the shifter was in any forward position 😂
My favorite era of Mustang ever. I have a 1982 LX that my uncle bought brand new. Still have the window sticker in the glove box. The 87 to 93's were my favorite though
Back in the 80s, I had my 1975 280Z....your car was considered pretty fast if you could beat the Mustangs, IROCs and Corvettes back then! I did shortly thereafter get into the Mustangs and it was an addiction. The holy trinity of cars for me is a Porsche 911, Mustang and a Z (or Skyline). I like Corvettes but never owned one. Who knows maybe one day i'll do drop the hammer and get a vette and see what that's all about.
Man the Fox is the new retro car to build it seems.. That thing is showroom mint. Everyones doing a fox these days.. Then again you have so many options just like when it was the 90s.. You want pushrod live axle, you got it.. You want bolt in IRS and Twin Cam you got it.. So hard to find a clean un clapped out one these days just like E36s.. most are ruined or unattainable, cant wait to see this done.
As the owner of a white fox myself, hyped for you guys to build her up and enjoy the old school 5.0 goodness 🤍.... White wheels go hard with the white body 🤘
Looks and sounds so sick guys , condition is amazing and you can tell that was the previous owners pride and joy, go gentle on her , don’t mod too much it’s mint ! 💪❤️😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's the best spec hatch I've ever seen, even when I was a kid there weren't alot of nice ones besides white verts. Now they're all clapped or drag cars. I been searching for months to find a clean notchback to build a blown coyote street car out of, but this is making me think about hatchs some
Wow I’m super excited for this build I was born in Clifton New Jersey in 1971 that car was in my life brand new from Al Packer Ford but ours was convertible can’t wait to see what you do with it❤💯🇵🇷🙏🏽
Oh my! So clean almost worth keeping original. Although I can’t wait to see what can be done by Throtl with this one. There are so many options for the Fox body you can choose pretty much any modification direction with bolt on/minor mods. And if you have time and money you can make a work of art.
When I turned 16 my dad bought an 87 GT it was red, hardtop, 5 speed w gray interior. A couple of days before he passed away in 2021 I said "Dad I wanna thank you for buying me that car you have no idea how many girls I was able to pick up." So I have many many memories when I see those cars. Wish I could find one like that one in red tho
I've owned four 5.0 and they are under rated one of the funniest car you can buy. I can see the re spray all the red door plastics. This one missing the coolest light ever the map reader
One of the best upgrades you could do is if you change the shifter, I don’t want they still make it they were called a pro shifter 5.0 shifter I had one on my GT, which was also an 89 but I had two tops
This is amazing. About the same as the 92 GT I have. Mine just has more miles. But looks amazing!! I'm hyped for this! They always feel like a time machine when you sit in one
Don't change the headunit, just add bluetooth. Should be possible, or add a media receiver somewhere on the car that can be controlled with a phone and upgrade just the speakers. That way the interior still look perfect.
HEY GUYS I just watched the video an realized you are coming across the DMB (Bridge from DE) passing glasgow Park where I bmx at. Also you stopped at the gas station I worked at for a year. Hell yeah guys. That car is beautiful. I love it. And reppin my state, NJ. You passed my exit, Pennsville first exit off the bridge. God I wish I would've seen you around. Love yall keep up the good work peeps!
honestly the car is to clean i would not build it, its fine the way it is. It would be nice if you guys found one that actually needed work and you could save...
The fox body essentially started the aftermarket for muscle cars. It’s amazing to see one in such good shape but at the same time it’s only right to modify it. That’s what that car basically was designed for. Now if it was a 93 cobra, I’d be very sad.
Man it's going to be cool to see you guys put this together in Jimmys shop! Welcome to the East Coast Throtl! I owned a 91 lx 5.0 notch. Wish I would of kept that car. It's really hard finding these that clean. But hey sounds like you paid the right price! Imagine how much it would be if it was a Saleen or Cobra 😮
I still miss my 91 5.0. Had a 347 stroked out straight piped on it with Bassani Race Mufflers and turn downs. Also had Boyd Coddington rims on it that at the time cost more than the car itself lol
My cousin Joey taught me how 2 drive standard in his 87 5.0! It was the same as that one but it was dark gray with a blue stripe where that one is red, and idk if it had motor work done 2 it but it was fast bro!!!!! I was 15yo and he had that car doing 130mph quickly..... Car was fast!!!!!
HYPED to have you guys in house this week 👏🖤
“If you can’t find the right tool in Oakes garage, Mr California,…”
LETS GOOO!
i’m excited for this collab.
THAT was the surprise of the week !!
Big ups to you for opening your doors to the boys. This is going to be EPIC.
I personally think it'd be better to find one in rougher shape and go crazy on it.
but they dont have the time for a ultra rough spaped car, but i agree :)
Idk about that one😅😅
Me and my dad did something like it but we didn’t do anything super crazy with the motor besides stripping it down to the block and boring it out 6 over and we put a cam 302 in it so it chops now and sounds amazing. The car has so much torque in 1st gear that it wants to jump 😂. The car is amazing we still haven’t tuned the engine and I can’t even imagine what kind of horsepower it has now!
Exactly I can't watch anymore
YES! Keep these cars stock and go crazy and the shit boxes!
Dang, that thing is pristine. Almost a shame to modify it but looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it
You know the boys are going to do it justice. It's Mickey and a white Mustang, he has one on his resume already!
Yeah this has got to be the cleanest fox I've seen recently
Yeah it really seems like they could have found a better car to tear apart and modify. This one should've been left alone.
@@rosspayne88I completely agree. There are so many clean examples that have been modified just a bit they could have gotten. There can't be many out there like this. It's a piece of history that should be left intact.

The collab I didn't know I needed! This is awesome, would be great to see more of these collab-builds.
Cleanest stock foxbody I've ever seen!!! The most I would do are wheels and tires but otherwise, I'd keep it stock.
I love the turbine wheels
seeing you guys mod cars that you have an emotional attachment to are great -- quinn's reaction in the car and mickey's rundown in the cockpit made me appreciate this video more. keep it up throtl!
Fox bodies have a special place in my heart. I was brought home from the maternity ward in one. Love it!
Absolutely love this color combo. That plaid tweed was the best in red. Wish I could find one like that. ‘89 was the year I graduated high school, so this year Mustang holds a special place with me.
Pleasure to meet you Mr. Mickey!! Thank you for stopping by!!

I love spontaneousness. Spicing things up in the channel. Love to see it!
Let's goooooo! I am stoked for this build! I thought I would never see a foxbody in Jimmy's garage. Thanks guys 😁
Crazy looking at the engine bay! It’s so clean and it looks like there’s no oxidation on the intake. I love it!
So siiiiiick!!!! Crazy I’m seeing this cuz I just pulled the cover off my dads super rare mint 93 mustang cobra, teal blue, black interior and sunroof yesterday.

Seeing Mickey talk about Jimmy's builds made me happy
I want jimmy oaks subscribers reach up go 1million by the end of the week .
I graduated h/s in 89, always loved that year of Mustang, I personally love those taillights and that interior takes me back in time
Don’t change those seats!! So perfect and they look super comfortable lol. I vividly remember my friends fox-body in high school when we discovered you could not load a cd into the player if the shifter was in any forward position 😂
Wow you guys really found a gem. Really stoked to see all the work you guys are going to put into this.
My favorite era of Mustang ever. I have a 1982 LX that my uncle bought brand new. Still have the window sticker in the glove box. The 87 to 93's were my favorite though
One of my top 5 favorite cars. Nice to see one so clean.
Cool to see you at Jimmies shop, looking forward to the build.
Excited to see what you guys do to this mustang. Hopefully it’s a resto mod and tasteful. Sad to see a piece of history get destroyed
FINALLY! Some Iconic American Performance Build Content! Forged Con Rods, Forged Pistons, Roller Camshaft... All O.E. equipped from the Blue Oval!
Back in the 80s, I had my 1975 280Z....your car was considered pretty fast if you could beat the Mustangs, IROCs and Corvettes back then!

Foxbody was super underrated for the longest.
I’m happy to see a big car UA-camr finally do some American muscle v8 work.
As the owner of a white fox myself, hyped for you guys to build her up and enjoy the old school 5.0 goodness 🤍.... White wheels go hard with the white body 🤘
It's about time y'all did a beautiful mustang! Hell yeah y'all!
Looks and sounds so sick guys , condition is amazing and you can tell that was the previous owners pride and joy, go gentle on her , don’t mod too much it’s mint ! 💪❤️😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
The collab we've all been waiting for 🔥
I’m amazed the seat backs aren’t broken and leaning inwards! I haven’t seen a fox that didn’t, this is so rad.
I think that if you leave the rear lights and window as they are know, the car would be cooler.
Holy macaroni! An extremely clean Foxbody Mustang GT! Can't wait for the build (and the East Coast shenanigans!)
Jimmy Oakes is wild!!! I love him. He is the best!!
One of the cleanest foxes I've seen. I love the late 80/s 90's white with red interior.
That clean fox body mustang should’ve been auctioned off
That's the best spec hatch I've ever seen, even when I was a kid there weren't alot of nice ones besides white verts. Now they're all clapped or drag cars. I been searching for months to find a clean notchback to build a blown coyote street car out of, but this is making me think about hatchs some
Man that interior is spotless.
Finally old school American muscle all the love from east coast of Canada my favorite car a fox body mustang
Huge fan of the fox bodies can't wait to see how it turns out!!
Wow I’m super excited for this build I was born in Clifton New Jersey in 1971 that car was in my life brand new from Al Packer Ford but ours was convertible can’t wait to see what you do with it❤💯🇵🇷🙏🏽
great video boys. That little oakes garage montage at the end was dead on what the mans about. Loved it
Shout out to Jimmy oaks for helping out the guys at throtl
This is going to be fun to watch. Love the 80's cars.
Oh my! So clean almost worth keeping original.
Although I can’t wait to see what can be done by Throtl with this one.

Always Loved the Old Red interior gives you that sports Feel in the cockpit.
Man I love fox bodies ford just killed the design for it back in the 80’s
I've owned four 5.0 and they are under rated one of the funniest car you can buy. I can see the re spray all the red door plastics. This one missing the coolest light ever the map reader
I owned 3 myself 86Gt, 89lx , and 90lx 5.0’s
I got a 92 5.0 and love it. Foxbody or nobody baby!🤘
First car I’ve been excited about since the viper
A 1989 Mustang 5.0 GT that clean is damn near unheard of I graduated in '87........ Wow
Love this. Only thing I will say after seeing this video is that the driver seat belt needs a little more tension.
You know it’s a great car when everyone drives it with a big smile on there face 😎
Love the collab I love seeing all my favorite UA-camrs collaborating next evan shanks collab
10:48 born in 2001 and that’s why I like these old cars. Can’t believe he’d not like that. Crazy
11:59 lol I drive that all day
This is a nice change from the other builds. It needs a 351w though
🤩 wow what an amazing buy! I’m sure this hot Old Skool Classic will now get some new school updates.
Sunoco + Throtl = 💯
The 89 Foxes had the Best of Everything!
First Year of the M.A.F
Best Style seats
And Tilt Steering
This car is to clean to modify
One of the best upgrades you could do is if you change the shifter, I don’t want they still make it they were called a pro shifter 5.0 shifter I had one on my GT, which was also an 89 but I had two tops
it's even got the vanilla ice tail lights! that thing is so tight, I may be a VW guy but I always had a soft spot for fox bodies.
Finally building something cool. It’ll be nice to see you build something that doesn’t have dumb camber and stretched tires etc … god willing
Excited to see another mustang on the channel as I’m sitting in my 2012 on lunch watching this
This is amazing. About the same as the 92 GT I have. Mine just has more miles. But looks amazing!! I'm hyped for this! They always feel like a time machine when you sit in one
Don't change the headunit, just add bluetooth. Should be possible, or add a media receiver somewhere on the car that can be controlled with a phone and upgrade just the speakers. That way the interior still look perfect.
I love this type of mustang GT ❤ it’s one of my favourite car.
Definitely a dream team up! Can't wait to see what all is to come!

Sick to see throtle in my home state.this is definitely not the car I thought I would see from you guys but im.dam stoked to see it.
These boy are making moves left and right. Good for you!
Foxbody is my favorite car!!! So glad u did this
My prayers have been answered!!! I've been dreaming of you you guys doing a Fox for years.
Really excited to see you guys at Jimmys shop. Gonna be a good week of content
Can’t wait for to see the 2 shop teams collab on this build!!
I wouldn’t change the seats. Fox body has the coolest seats for traveling, pull out the front section on bottom.
Love this car, i cant wait to see what this looks like when youre done. I miss mine
The fox body essentially started the aftermarket for muscle cars. It’s amazing to see one in such good shape but at the same time it’s only right to modify it. That’s what that car basically was designed for. Now if it was a 93 cobra, I’d be very sad.
That car is awesome, perfect spec in my opinion would be a dream for me to own, I look forward to seeing the build
Omg. The ron jeremy mustang gt with the tail light covers 😂. It is awesome to say the least! 🤩
Man it's going to be cool to see you guys put this together in Jimmys shop! Welcome to the East Coast Throtl! I owned a 91 lx 5.0 notch. Wish I would of kept that car. It's really hard finding these that clean. But hey sounds like you paid the right price! Imagine how much it would be if it was a Saleen or Cobra 😮
I still miss my 91 5.0. Had a 347 stroked out straight piped on it with Bassani Race Mufflers and turn downs. Also had Boyd Coddington rims on it that at the time cost more than the car itself lol
Sao excited for this build. This is my favorite car. I owned a '89 LX
This new project's gonna be cool, this Mustang's so clean! 😎
Wow, Even the ashtray not even broke. Very Rare!
Super hyped for this collab!
My cousin Joey taught me how 2 drive standard in his 87 5.0! It was the same as that one but it was dark gray with a blue stripe where that one is red, and idk if it had motor work done 2 it but it was fast bro!!!!! I was 15yo and he had that car doing 130mph quickly..... Car was fast!!!!!
We used to have Sunoco gas stations at our home town in Canada. I love this car and i also love the LX
This is going to be a good one these cars are classic looking foward to seeing how it comes out...
Your reading of the sponsorship was great.
The “Nismo”power brace 😂😂 that Jismo sticker is so good
