This Fox started its life as a 4 cylinder red LX. Over time, it has transformed into a beastly work of art (lol). The previous owner spent a lot of time and money on restoring its body and interior.

The following exterior body parts were replaced with new authentic Ford products... windows, front and rear bumpers, hatch, headlights, cowl vent grille, hood (Cervinis 4" Cowl), black wheel well liners, spoiler (Cervinis Saleen wing) and ALL rubber and weather-stripping (except the run-channel). There is absolutely no rust or rot throughout this entire vehicle which is one of the reasons why I purchased it.





















After Porsche silver paint, flat black for the engine bay and assembly, this is how the car looks now...

**Work done by G & S Custom Auto Body and/or FMG Auto Center**













The interior was initially red but was completely removed and dyed black. The door panels were replaced with new ones from Latemodel Restoration. All door handles, latches, locks, etc. are brand new and all work exceptionally well. The headliner, carpet, visors and mats are also brand new. All buttons and electronics throughout the vehicle are fully operational. There are aftermarket gauges for oil and water temperature, including a 5" pedestal tach on the dash (with shift-light). The face-plate for the stock gauges was changed to white to match the others. There is a Pioneer head-unit and every stock speaker was replaced with JL Audio speakers. This is all powered by an OPTIMA RedTop battery placed in a battery box fastened in the trunk.


As for the engine, driveline, etc., the 4 cylinder was swapped out for the highly sought after V8 351W.
