stock and the notchback coupe body is perhaps the most desirable of the Fox body ‘Stang lineup. The colors are sharp and it looks tidy on OEM polished wheels. The Mustang is listedhere on eBayin Pheonix, Arizona with the seller noting it comes with a deep paper trail of records. Insid...
Here’s the trifecta, if you will, as to what makes this Fox body notchback so desirable: the black cloth interior. Black on black is an immensely desirable combo if you’re a Fox body collector, and in all the ones I’ve written up in the last few years, I honestly feel like I ...
