Great article. Thanks for posting that.

My favorite part:

&quot;But this sixth-generation Mustang (depending on the way you count them) is a clean and simple design and the only Mustang iteration that's a complete stylistic break from the other generations (10 of them altogether, depending on the way you count them). There's no running horse in the grille, there's no C-shaped indentation along the flanks and the rear brake lights aren't in three segments. This is the only Mustang that is its own unique thing. And the GT came as a hatchback back when it was OK to be a hatchback.&quot;

Really, really like the new generation 'Stangs, but the Fox body style just never did it for me. I respect their place in musclecar history, but asthetically, the just didn't appeal to me.

But, I guess that's why there is chocolate and vanilla.

You'll never find a bigger Fox fan than me, but I'll be the first to admit that they aren't beautiful cars, at least not in the same way that a 66 Chevelle or a 68 Charger is beautiful. But to me, there isn't a more purposeful looking car on earth than a black LX coupe with a cowl hood and big n' little Draglites. Not pretty, but an icon, all the same.

Everybody has their favorites. Personally, I just love musclecars. New, old, GM, Mopar, Ford, whatever. I'd love to open my garage some day and see my notch sleeping next to a 69 COPO Camaro (black or Fathom Blue 4-speed) and a 69 Judge (Palladium Silver R/A IV) and a 65 L78 Biscayne and a 68 R/A II Firebird and 68 Road Runner and.... well, I better stop there or this'll be a long post.

I bought a brand new 89 LX 5.0 stripper back in the day. The day I took it home; Pulley kit, Airbox etc. and started street racing it that night. That was a very fun car for not a lot of money and the racing was good, GN's, IROC's etc, not a ton of speed, but very good racing
