Is the Fox-Body Mustang the ultimate blank canvas? | Articles

Absolutely.

That and the s13 Nissan and maybe the GM G-body

I think it’s definitely true if you include all Fox chassis cars

From a GM guy its hard to beat the fox chassis, 4 cylinder through 8 cylinders, na or turbo (the supercoupe wasnt fox right), manual or auto, sedan, wagon or coupe, cheap parts, good looks, light weight, cheap, capable, rwd, and a massive aftermarket filled with inexpensive quality parts.

I think the closest thing GM has is maybe the G body, which I love but given an option between the 2 I might have to choose the fox most of the time.

As a chassis it has two major weaknesses: Rear suspension design and lack of overall stiffness. Fortunately, the aftermarket has both covered.

The Turbo Coupe was a Fox and the Super Coupe was an MN12, an arguably better chassis.

A better design, to be sure, but much heavier.
