Just picked up a Fox Wagon! May 16, 2017, 08:15:49 AM Of all the million fox bodies I have owned, I have never owned a wagon. Until today!This is a 1986 LTD Wagon. I didn't even know they made the LTD in '86. I thought it was just 83-85. But apparently they did title the last of the 1985's as 1986 (and just like the 86 cougars, slapped the 3rd brake light on). It's pretty clean. It's only got 96k miles on it. Original 3.8 drivetrain. I drove it 150 miles home with no problems at all. This is going to be my wife's daily driver. Quote Selected

Just picked up a Fox Wagon! Reply #3 – May 16, 2017, 10:58:21 AM That's a nice car...I remember seeing lots of the '86 sedans with third brake light, neighbor across street had one and so did a guy I worked with(he also had a '84 & both were same color)... Didn't pay a lot of attention to wagons after having a Pinto wagon in the '70s, I was more or less over them... But I did have a '67 Falcon wgn with 289, P/S, P/B, A/C & two way tailgate, really liked that car, especially after I swapped a 351 into it... According to this they made 14,213 '86 wagons...

Just picked up a Fox Wagon! Reply #8 – May 17, 2017, 04:06:18 AM I am starting to get over two doors. Ive been building larger model airplanes and a 60" wing with a 10" cord wont fit in the trunk. Now im stuck setting the wing on my shoulder or moving the front seats all the way forwards and standing them up that way.Really irritating to try not to damage them or let them flop around too much while drive down a 5 mile rutted out dirt road.
