Occasionally, the question arises (in one form or another) about which cars were built on the Fox platform. Well, here is a list of the cars as listed by Wikipedia:

• 1978–1983 Ford Fairmont
• 1978–1983 Mercury Zephyr
• 1979–1993 Ford Mustang
• 1979–1986 Mercury Capri
• 1980–1988 Ford Thunderbird
• 1980–1988 Mercury Cougar
• 1980–1981 Ford Durango
• 1981–1982 Ford Granada
• 1982–1987 Lincoln Continental
• 1983–1986 Ford LTD
• 1983–1986 Mercury Marquis
• 1984–1992 Lincoln Mark VII

I hope this is helpful.

De Sade option available? That would be cool!

[hearse62]

Are the 89-97 Thunderbirds considered a Fox body? I just found a SuperCoupe cheap in my area and it got my wheels turning. Thanks

[Zephyrman]

No, they are on the mn-12 platform from 89-up, but I'm not sure what would be interchangable. A 3.8SC powered F/Z would be cool though.

actually more interchanges than you realize. same with the SN-95, and even the panther chassis

Care to elaborate for me on this? I might be able to get a 92 with a blown motor for very cheap and would love to use some of the suspension stuff on my Z7

[Ashzo77]

it's just like when the original mustang was based off the falcon. everything is there, even if it wasn't used. the 65-66 mustang was originally made for IRS, but never got it.
under the skin the fox and Mn-12 are virtually identical. with the exception of the indy rear. that might take a few minor mods. otherwise everything else is almost a direct bolt in. including the camber/caster plates.

[Stymees'mont]

'78-'80 K members the rear inner bolts are closer together than on the later 81-04 cars, which can be rectified to use the later and lighter K members.
'78-'80 direct bolt in.
'81-'9/84 require rear inner bolt location change to fit.(mod car not K)
10/84-'88 same inner bolt location mod and use a different R&P sleeved bolt.
'89-'93 I4 Ks are the same as 10/84-'88 Ks
'89-'93 V8 Ks have a 1" wider track width. These can be identified by the welded in upper spring mount vs the stamped hole with triangles.

Avoid K members from the Thunderbird/Cougar coupe. They are a slightly different beast with a different offset between the rear mount and frame mount.

I'm guessing you are refering to Mustangs here?

[Stymees'mont]

Some are...really same as all Fox chassis cars...but we know Mustangs are primary.
