In the early nineties, the stripped down LX notch was an absolute terror on the track. Crank windows, no a/c; you could even delete the factory tape deck. Throw some slicks, short belt, and a timing bump at the car to have one killer street brawler. Those were the golden years, and one of the reasons the fox body Mustang has such a cult following.

When Skyler Hardy set out to build his Wild Strawberry '92 LX, he had the bare bones idea in mind. Believe it or not, this car has over 300K miles on the clock, and the previous owner used to tow a jet ski with it. Originally from Georgia, the previous owner moved to Indiana where Skyler lives, and nearly sixteen years ago, he picked it up.

The build began with an obvious choice; the mighty coyote. Having seen and heard what Ford's little wonder motor was capable of, Skyler knew that was exactly what he wanted. Plenty solid out of the box, the motor is basically stock. However, some well chosen additions like Boss intake, TSS crank sprocket, billet chain guides, Cobra Jet oil pump, and Boss tensioners round out the internal mods. On the outside, the little coyote benefits from long tube headers, JLT cold air intake, and gets fed via a 255lph fuel pump.
