Foxbody Mustang Car Cover

Like most automobile brands that have survived over many decades, the Ford Mustang has undergone numerous changes. The Classic generation, which covered the 1964.5 to 1973 model years, started with sleek sports cars that became larger and more powerful over several decades. 

The Mustang 2 generation, which debuted in 1974, sought to mollify consumers who demanded more fuel-efficient cars. This characteristic was essential in the face of rising gasoline costs. While these Mustangs helped owners save money at the gas pump, they sacrificed some of the power and performance that epitomized these one-of-a-kind pony cars. 

The third generation sought to give vehicle owners the best of both worlds. The Foxbody Mustang, which started in the 1979 model year, featured a newly designed body resting on the Fox platform that Ford and Lincoln-Mercury had engineered for compact sedans like the Fairmont and Zephyr. 

Why the Foxbody Mustang Stands Out

Using the new chassis made the Mustang lighter, which increased fuel efficiency and reduced drag. The five engine options for the 1979 Mustang included a five-liter, two-volt V8 engine that delivered 144 horsepower, an impressive amount of power that satisfied muscle car fans anywhere.

The Foxbody Mustang was an immediate hit with car buyers. In 1979, U.S. Mustang sales increased by more than 177,000 units from the previous year. Many Mustang enthusiasts view the 1993 SVT Cobra as the most popular release of all the Foxbody models because this vehicle combined superior performance and eye-catching style.

Your Headquarters for a Foxbody Mustang Car Cover

Using a car cover from Top Flight Automotive is one of the best ways to protect your Mustang and preserve its finish. This accessory keeps your vehicle clean and protects its appearance. It prevents damage from the sun, wind, rain, debris and other potential dangers. Consider using one if you keep your Mustang in a garage over the winter or during long periods when you drive your vehicle less often. In an indoor setting, dust and airborne contaminants can settle on your car, damaging the paint.

When to Get a 1979-1993 Mustang Car Cover

Anyone interested in preserving Foxbody Mustangs should have an indoor or outdoor car cover from Top Flight Automotive. While these accessories are optional, they do an excellent job of preventing strangers, wildlife and the elements from taking a toll on your ride.

The third-gen series was retired decades ago, so protecting your Foxbody is key. Pick up a car cover for your ‘Stang, especially under these circumstances.

1. You Park Your Mustang Outdoors

Overhead coverage for a Foxbody Mustang is a luxury not everyone has. Mustang car covers are a good idea for anyone parking a sport model outside a garage. Feel confident leaving your sports car parked in the street or in a non-temperature-controlled environment.

2. Your Mustang Shares a Storage Space

You might have personal belongings or other vehicles near your Foxbody Mustang. Be sure to get a car cover for your third-generation sport model to reduce the chances of paint scuffs. All it takes is for something to fall off a storage shelf to affect your Mustang’s exterior. There’s also a chance someone could open a door from another vehicle in storage and leave a scratch on your Foxbody ‘Stang.

3. You Want to Keep Your Vehicle Clean

Vehicles that sit out in the open collect dust and dirt, which means you’ll need to wash your vehicle more often when it’s left uncovered. Choosing to use an indoor or outdoor car cover can reduce your need for cleaning and help you keep contaminants away from exterior surfaces.

4. You Leave Your Mustang in Public

Plenty of enthusiasts like to drive third-generation Mustangs to work, school or out shopping. All the car covers available through Top Flight Automotive are user-friendly and fit over your vehicle seamlessly. Keep strangers away from your ride when you’re parked in public lots.

Choosing a car cover for your ride also keeps anything you have inside the cabin out of plain sight. There’s a much better chance a thief will choose another vehicle to mess with when you have a car cover in place.

5. You’d Like to Prolong the Life of Your Mustang

You probably have a favorite Foxbody Mustang. Maybe you just restored a 1988 sport model or something similar from the third-gen series. A Mustang car cover is the best way to keep original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts around for the long haul.

What to Consider When Choosing a Foxbody Car Cover

While car covers may look alike from a distance, their specifications may differ in material, size and the level of protection they provide. Some factors to consider when making your selection include:

• Fit: Unlike a one-size-fits-all accessory, you need a car cover marketed for your Mustang. Selecting a product designed for your vehicle’s shape and contours will provide the most reliable protection. A proper fit also ensures the cover will remain snug and secure in windy conditions.
• Location: Car covers are available for indoor and outdoor use. If your Mustang spends equal amounts of time in your driveway and in the garage, choose a Foxbody Mustang car cover that withstands indoor and outdoor applications. Select a heavier material if your car spends most of its time exposed to the elements.
• Ultraviolet (UV) protection: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause your Mustang’s paint and interior components like dashboards and upholstery to fade. If your car sits outside for extended periods, consider a cover that offers maximum UV protection.
• Care and maintenance: Keep your cover clean to prolong its lifespan and protective capabilities. Depending on the product and its material, you can either wash it by hand with soap and water or put it in the washing machine.
