New Mustang Rumor?

MrJo1094 · 01-26-2001, 01:02 PM

The theme is to have one platform, that is very venerable. The FOX body, and chasis, which is to say, one in the same, not body on frame like in your idea. There has never been a Mustang built on a frame. The Fox body ran for 14 years, 79 to 93. Its light, and ready for the racer. No other Mustang body design really fits all the criteria from what I am understanding.

You are right, no body has done it, they keep spending high tooling costs and going "retro" with minivans and such. Plus the changes every 4-5 years make it higher. I would love to own a new 68 in 2002. But those tools have been put away for a long time. The sn95 is so close in the lower portion of the body to the fox, it would be a cinch to keep making it. In fact now that I think about it, wouldnt that be great. The new DEW comes in totally redone anyway, giving us a SUPER car Vette rival, and the Fox lives on? hmmmm... We get the added strength of the mods made to the sn95 lower subframe, and upper body fox for us to keep as spare parts for years to come.

Stay with the theme, a low cost Fox is better than, nothing at all.
