Third Generation Ford Mustang Bumper

Fox Body Bumper

The Ford Mustang has undergone lots of changes in its nearly 60-year history. One of its most radical redesigns came with the introduction of the third-generation vehicles beginning with the 1979 model year. 

The energy crisis and soaring gas prices that impacted the United States during the 1970s served as the impetus for what was to become known as the “Fox Body” Mustang. By the latter part of the decade, car buyers were seeking lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Ford responded by developing the Fox platform, making the new models 100 pounds lighter than their Mustang 2 predecessors. 

The first Fox Body Mustang in 1979 offered notchback and hatchback versions that exhibited a European influence. The four square headlights surrounding the slanted grille earned the new Mustang the nickname “Four Eyes.” The body was approximately 4 inches longer than the Mustang, enabling four people to sit comfortably and providing additional trunk space. 

Initially, the Fox Body Mustang was a rousing success. Ford sold nearly 370,000 units in 1979, an increase of approximately 177,000 over the final year of the Mustang 2. However, by the mid-1980s, Mustang sales were dropping in the U.S. In 1987, the Fox Body received a significant interior and exterior face-lift. Sales were uneven for the remainder of the third generation’s run, which ended in 1993.

We Offer Fox Body Mustang Bumpers for Sale

If you’re planning a Mustang makeover, you’ll probably want to install new bumpers. Top Flight Automotive offers Fox Body front and rear bumpers for many third-generation models.

They’re also unpainted, giving you the freedom to add the color that matches your Mustang’s exterior. 

When Should You Consider a Front or Rear Bumper Replacement?

Besides their cosmetic benefits, bumpers play a crucial role in maintaining a vehicle’s structural integrity. They protect the body from damage during minor vehicle accidents. You should replace them whenever you notice a substantial crack that you can’t repair. Also, you should make a bumper upgrade if the hooks that hold them in place are rusted or have sustained damage. And if you notice signs of chipping or scratched paint, you’ll typically get better long-term results when replacing instead of repairing.
