About the 1979 Ford Mustang GT

The Fox-body Mustang GT represents Ford's phoenix moment, rising from the malaise era to reclaim American muscle credibility. Launched in 1979 on the lightweight Fox platform, the GT truly hit its stride in 1982 when Ford dropped the 5.0-liter H.O. V8 under the hood, delivering 157 hp that felt like a revelation after years of smog-choked disappointment. By 1987, output climbed to 225 hp, making these cars genuinely quick again. The clean, angular styling aged remarkably well, and the platform's inherent balance made it a favorite among enthusiasts and racers alike. Production totaled over 2.6 million Fox-bodies across all variants, but clean, unmodified GTs are increasingly scarce. Today's collectors prize low-mileage examples, particularly the later high-output cars and special editions like the 1993 Cobra R. Values have steadily climbed as enthusiasts recognize the Fox-body's pivotal role in reviving the pony car legend.
