With the introduction of the Fox Body Mustang in 1979, a total of 32 different colors were used from just the 1979-82 model years. Some of the notable models were the 1979 Ghia, 1979 Pace Car, 1979-81 Cobras, and SSP (Special Service Package) Mustang prototype in 1982.

Starting in 1983 marked the 4th year of the Fox Body Mustang platform. In addition to the notch and hatchback models of 1979-82, now a convertible option was also brought back. 29 colors were offered between 1983-86 and some of the most notable models were SSP, SVO, and GT350. In 1983-84 the trim options were L, LX, GT, Turbo GT, and SVO and in 1985-86 the trim levels were reduced to just the LX, GT, and SVO models.

1987 marked a huge year for the Fox Body with discontinuation of the bucketed "4 eye" front fascia that was replaced with what was nicknamed the "Aeronose". This included a more modern 6 piece headlight. While the new front end was the most notable change, a ton of different interior and exterior changes were made with a total of 42 different colors being offered between the years 1987-93. While from 1989-93 the Fox platform didn't see too many additional changes due to Ford's focus on the complete body redesign in 1994, there were still many notable special edition Mustang's during this time. They were 1990 7-Up Edition, 1992-93 Summertime Edition, and lastly the 1993 Cobra & Cobra R Mustangs.

While some of these colors were carried over among the different years that the Fox Body Mustang was offered, this is still such an extensive list spanning the lifetime of the Fox Body platform. This is just one of the many reasons that we at LMR pride ourselves on being the best Fox Body enthusiasts in the industry and will continue to be the best representation that late model Mustangs need to keep the history and popularity alive.
