my first Mustang was my 88, bought in 90. I shopped a bunch of different cars, not wanting a Fox as they were the favorite of the gold chain crowd at the time. I didn't and don't have a gold chain btw.
After testing 320's and a few other "sporty" types I circled back to the Fox as it was the most fun per dollar.
I put 550,000 on that 88 and just cut it up last year with a tear in my eye.
