Seat Re-Seat

Nothing makes an interior look nastier than stained, saggy, sticky, split, smelly seats. Yucksville.

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.

Factory Find

Sometimes you search for years to find the right car, and sometimes the right car finds you. That’s how it worked for Joe and Linda Beutler. In May 1999, while visiting the K.A.R. Mustang showroom in Columbus, Ohio, they saw this spotless ’89 GT convertible.

Great, they thought, but they weren’t in the market to buy. “We had no intention of purchasing another Mustang,” Joe says. “We were restoring a ’65 at the time.”

Pick of the Pack

If you were stranded on a desert island with only one Mustang, which would it be? The question is always good to start the opinions flowing. But for Steve Freedland, the Fox-body is the one.

“I’ve owned many Mustangs over the years,” Steve says. “I’ve had SN-95s; I had the new Edge; I even had an ’03 Cobra. But for some reason I always go back to the Fox-body style.”

Repaint or Revive?

Sooner or later, just about every Mustang owner has to make a decision — keep the original paint job, or let it go and repaint. But how do you know when the original paint can be saved, and when it’s beyond hope?

Sooner or later, just about every Mustang owner has to make a decision — keep the original paint job, or let it go and repaint. But how do you know when the original paint can be saved, and when it’s beyond hope?

We contacted Orlando Mustang for some expert help in sizing up the old, original paint on our very weathered ’93 GT convertible. It was originally Bright Red, but the factory paint was in sad shape, having sat out in the hot Florida sun and rain for way too long. What used to be glossy and beautiful was now dull as dirt.
