For those saying stuff like “how do you not know what this is, I am not into American cars, and I barely know most American classics.

Stay safe and have a great 4th of July!

Took the fox to a car meet recently and someone there snapped this great photo of it just as everyone was leaving.

Low oil pressure. Very high temps. 1988. With 147000 miles..

i removed the luggage rack due to the bad damage my previous one had, but i wanted to get another. Let me know If anyone has one available!!!!

I’m currently putting my 1991 LX 5.0 Auto fox back together and I noticed there is a line on the B/R port on the firewall vacuum tree. I looked on LMR and it showed that it’s supposed to be capped off. Should I remove it and cap it off or is it supposed to run to something. The other end isn’t connected to anything.

You know how things escalate ? Started to swap the motor. But engine compartment needed de-rusting and paint. To do that, I had to remove the wiring. To do THAT, I had to remove the entire dashboard from the car. So while I have this dash and all the wiring apart, I need to make a decision about the top of the line 1980 technology EIGHT TRACK Tape Player + Radio.

I've made a promise to the Automotive Gods that "I'm not cutting anything on this car". Someday someone can restore it exactly as Ford/Mercury intended.

Which leads to my radio issue. Its not really a "single DIN".

What we have here is a 4 inch by 2 inch rectangle.

RetroSound makes a unit that fits. That's the bolt in and period look solution. Very spendy, tho.

I'd love to put in a little modern solution with Android Auto and a slim touch screen. But it seems the 4x2" thing is a challenge. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ?

Also - what do folks put in for a modern quality speaker ? These seem to be 4.25 inches across the holes - which is weird.

I took my door panel and did a test run of what it will kind of look like when it's officially done, I think it looks very cool besides me messing up the paint in several places
