GORGEOUS CAR. I love those limited edition cars. for some reason I thought I remember them being called california editions or something along those lines. yes/no?
when I was a freshman in HS, one of the guys I played football with would always get picked up/dropped off by his dad in an all white version with the white wheels. I was totally jealous EVERY DAY.

I can remember going to the Ford dealer my aunt worked at in 1991/92ish (I was around 12 at the time) and sitting in a 92 LX 5.0 in the showroom. it deep emerald green with gray leather interior and thing THAT was my dream car at that point. it still kind of is, but like you if I was to get something like that now a days, I would have to swap in a Coyote 5.0. the OHV just wouldnt cut it without dumping a ton of money into it.

I think one if them was called the California edition, cant remember if it was the white one or the redish one. They also made a 7up edition, that was green with turbine wheels and white leather. But the green you reffering to , I want t say is the "deep emerald green."

For the money just cant beat the Coyote motor. Stock over 400HP and good MPG and reliability.

Pretty close. There is control pack to install these motor's into just about anything. For the foxbody, gotta swap K-members, change brake set-up to hydroboost, modify fuel system, and few other things here and there. Right now, I at begining stages of installing the suspension and getting ready to swap brake system over.

Havent really got allot done since starting project. Mainly been saving for the big ticket items. But a few of the updates are, been getting brake system swap worked on(vac to hydro), swapped rim/tire combo, and ordered my control pack.


New rim/tire combo is- Fronts= 17x9- w/275/40 and Rears = 17x10.5" w/315/35's.


Few updated pics..
