Would you shell-out for a new Fox Body shell?

Would you shell-out for a new Fox Body shell?

Posted on 10. Aug, 2010 by in News, Products

You already know that companies like Dynacorn have been putting out great early model Mustang body shells, but could you see a Fox Body Mustang shell in the near future? Some rumors are saying that you will see just that when SEMA rolls around this fall.

As the 1979-1993 Mustang body style slowly creeps closer to classic car status, it is becoming harder and harder to find all the parts and pieces you will need to restore a Fox Mustang. You can always spend endless hours in junkyards like our all-Mustang salvage yard, trying to find OEM parts to restore your Mustang, but there are people who would rather buy new and start fresh.

Ford has a program in place that tries to offer classic car enthusiasts an easier way to update and upkeep their favorite cars. These reproduction parts are great for a quick upgrade, and still offer a great fit, since Ford licenses tooling to these reproduction companies once they have decided to retire a part from their FoMoCo warehouses. This way, companies like Dynacorn can give you an affordable alternative to junkyard scouring, while still presenting a quality part based off of the original Ford tooling.

Currently, there are over 9,000 parts available as Ford tooling reproductions , and that number keeps growing. Soon, this Fox Body shell might be a new addition to the list. Which method would you rather use?

    maybe this will not matter to some, but I do prefer to keep some numbers and letters matching, meaning the v-8 code. i hate to see a 4 cylinder vintage and a v8 in the engine bay.

    Ted, I would be willing to bet that 20% of 5.0 Fox Body’s that are still on the road started out as 4 cylinders.

    this sounds like great idea to keep these cars on road in future as many have been hacked up in to race cars and will continue to be or have suffered some sort body damage
