    And you could get it as a 2-door coupe instead of the hatchback!

    Yep the LX Coupe also has the strongest body and won't flex as much as the hatch.

    You mean 1990-1992 models, and 1993-1997 models that aren't triple-locked?

    when I was a kid, the lx coupe was the car to have. It was the only mustang I like other than the 95 I think w the 5.0. And now the new ones. But they were slick. Weld wheels too. When I actually got my license I started building Hondas for some reason.

    1995 was the last old school 5.0 in the Mustang, they did stick around in the Explorer for a few years after though.

    1994 and 1995 was still 5.0, then in 1996 it went to the 4.6 and the tail lights changed from horizontal to vertical.

    yep. The tails were horizontal w 5.0. I remember they were opposite the 4.6. You used to street race a lot?

    @Plain Jane Taco

    Ever seen or heard of these? It's a 1983 Ford Ranger with a super rare factory Mazda Perkins diesel engine! For those of you already tuned in, these are some better pictures that I took with my Nikon D5500...
