Nailed it!

Fox 5.0 Coupe, my personal favorite. Dad bought one when I was in second grade, addicted ever since.

Looks like that was shot at Edwards AFB. I had the privilege of getting up close and personal with the SR-71 when I was enrolled in my high school's AFJROTC program. We frequently took field trip to Edwards and were allowed access to many areas on base. NASA has many hangers there,and we were bused to one where the…

This made me very sad. I love the old Fords trucks. I had a 91 F150 and my mom had a F350.

You can't spell Philadelphia without LA!

I prefer the term "rendered combat inoperative".

I'm a bit of a Ford modular nut job, glad I could share some knowledge.

My friend's dad bought a Flex with the Ecoboost and AWD. His is loaded with everything, including a refrigerated console between the second row of seats. We piled 7 of us in it to go to a concert and it still got after it. Great car, good looking too.

The engine in the 2000 Cobra R is 5.4, essentially a tall deck 4.6. The Cobra R is a 4v DOHC and the Lightning is a 2v SOHC. But both engines use the same iron block and forged steel crank. The Cobra R got a set of Carillo connecting rods from Ford. So, yes they have differences, but they share the same foundation.…

I couldn't find a picture of what i pictured... How about a 2000 Ford Lightning towing a 2000 Cobra R? 5.4 power!

That was a qualified statement, well appointed for its price point and era. Yes a luxury car will be better appointed.

Wrong again, they are beautiful cars, with a well appointed interior for its time period and price point in the market, and they are incredibly fun to drive in any circumstance.

I wonder if that winch is PTO?

no that beater met its end long long ago thanks to a broken connecting rod! yay! And my friend's dad was as far from cool as you can get. A nerd in every way. The coolest thing he owned was a 53 Ford.

all beaters require some form of maintenance sooner or later, don't kid yourself.

I don't know, lots of assholes abuse and don't maintain the fox so eventually something breaks. Fortunately it is usually something minor, like brake pads wearing out from rapidly stopping after blowing the doors off a redneck's IROC Camaro.

this is a sub frame connector

nope, I was, cause I was in Jr. high and creeping on Jr. high girls while in Jr. high isn't creepin' it is normal. They new getting a ride to school in your dad's mustang is still cooler than getting a ride in a crappy diesel benz.

Love and respect the W123 all you want, the winner should have been the fox. It has to be the greatest car you can pick up for $2000 or less. Plus it is available in coupe, convertible and hatch. And you're right, the Fox ain't a bad car, it is a great one.
