Description

Vintage Motors offers expert vehicle inspections for buyers worldwide. Buying a classic car in South Africa? Let us handle it for you.

Up for sale is a solid example of Ford’s 1980s performance heritage — the Fox-Body Mustang fitted with a 351 Windsor V8.

This car combines classic American muscle with a raw, driver-focused feel that’s made these Mustangs a rising favourite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

Under the hood sits a rebuilt 5. 0L 351 Windsor V8, upgraded eight years ago with larger pistons, a second-stage cam, and flowing cylinder heads. It starts easily, runs strong, and delivers that unmistakable V8 sound. Mechanically it’s in good condition and ready to drive, with all papers and licensing up to date.

Inside, the car remains simple and purposeful. Functional aftermarket gauges have been fitted for accuracy, while the original dash sensors await repair. The air-conditioning and cruise control systems were removed in the past, adding to its stripped-down, performance-focused character.

As a 46-year-old classic, the body shows light cosmetic wear that suits its age and story. It’s honest, straight, and mechanically sound — exactly what you want in a Fox that’s meant to be enjoyed.

Fox-Body Mustangs have become one of the most popular entry points into classic muscle ownership. Affordable, easy to modify, and backed by a massive parts network, they’re loved by drivers who want an old-school attitude with modern-day usability.

This example offers great performance, solid mechanicals, and real collectability — a true driver’s Mustang that captures the charm and excitement of 1980s American performance.
