Fox Body Mustang Market Value & Price History
Ford built the third-generation Mustang on its Fox platform, shared with the Fairmont and the Thunderbird, from 1979 to 1993. Enthusiasts took the platform's internal name and made it the car's, and "Fox Body" has been the standard term for that run ever since. The 1987 facelift splits the era into pre-facelift "four-eye" cars and later "aero" cars, but both are Fox Bodies. DriveIndex tracks 33 models that the Fox Body Mustang name covers, across model years 1979–1993, with current market values from $10,015 to $187,330, built on 669 verified auction sales. 113 are for sale now. Sold prices are down 11.7% over the past 12 months versus the prior year. That figure tracks the median of what actually sold, so it moves with the mix of models, years and mileages that came to market as well as with the market itself.
Where the name comes from: Ford Fox platform (1978–1993); the naming is documented in standard Mustang marque references.
