When I was a kid, my dad had a 5.0. It was a complete monster. He had gold Dayton rims with vogue tires, and they poked out wide. It was red just like the one in the picture, but it louvers in the back window.

No rumor has it back then, he had turbos in it. I don’t know if that’s true or not. I do know that he had headers and exhaust system, to go along with his Edelbrock carburetor. That thing was loud and fast. They were coming stuck off the factory with about 235 ponies and about 300 pounds of torque.

Nowadays, a Ford Mustang 5.0 will push out about 460 ponies and push about 420 pound of torque. But honestly, if I have my pick… I’d go grab fox body any day. They’re still one of my favorite cars. I don’t know if it’s the nostalgia or not. But if I grab one today, I’d probably never get rid of it.
