Fox Body Mustang Market Value & Price History

Fox Body Mustang: market value and 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 34 models that the Fox Body Mustang name covers, across model years 1979–1993, with market values from $10,409 to $191,566, built on 1,194 verified auction sales. 207 are listed for sale. The median sale price is down 12% 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.
