Factory original as it left the factory

 

I’ve been an enthusiast of ’79-’93 Mustangs long before they were called Fox-bodies. Back in the early days (the ’80s) they were referred to as third-generation Mustangs.

My first Mustang was an ’82 GT 5.0 four-speed. That car gave me such a thrill. It was lightweight and fun to drive. I had never felt that kind of power. I could be in First gear and nail it, and the car would start burning until I hit Second gear. Then it would chirp going into Third.

The Marti Report

 

Funny thing about the 70’s — they weren’t very funny, exceptSaturday Night Live (yeah, that show used to be funny!). So much was in disarray, and the auto industry was no exception. The oil crisis of 1973 had messed up the comfort zone of the Big Four (the carnage was going to reduce that to the Big Three and eventually make even that term irrelevant).

The Marti Report

As you see by the cover of this magazine, exciting things are in store for the reader. The feature car, a beautiful ’92 Bright Red GT Mustang convertible, sets the pace both for the era of the Fox-bodied Mustangs and the direction of FOX Mustang Magazine. Along with this great news comes our excitement of being able to offer Marti Reports for the ’79-’93 Mustang crowd. And this is no small crowd—there were more than two and a half million Mustangs built during this period. To put things in perspective, rival Camaro barely pulled two million units.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.

You’ll notice the future has its own magazine dedicated to Fox Mustangs. And not some goofy, broken-down newsletter, but rather a very nice, deluxe magazine like you’d take home to Momma. I’m talking about an oversized, full-color magazine slammed full of high-powered feature cars, tech, restoration, and fix-up articles you can actually use, and realistic performance stories that don’t center around some 6-second, triple-turbo, 1,500hp, machined-from-billet monster motor.

I’ll never build, drive, or probably even see a 6-second, triple-turbo, 1,500hp, machined-from-billet monster motor, and I’ll bet you won’t either. So how about if we let other mags get geeked up over that stuff ? Fox Mustang Magazine will focus on more realistic stories that help make the Fox Mustangs in our driveways better cars right here in the real world.
