The third-generation Mustang was produced by Ford from 1979 to
1993. Built on Ford's Fox platform (and is thus commonly referred
to as the "Fox" or "Foxbody" Mustang), it evolved through a number
of sub-models, trim levels, and drivetrain combinations during its
production life. It underwent updates for 1987, and for a time
seemed destined for replacement with a front wheel drive Mazda
platform. However, company executives were swayed by consumer
opinions and the rear wheel drive Mustang stayed, while the front
wheel drive version became the Ford Probe. Enthusiasts group the
generation into two segments: the 1979-1986 cars, with their quad
headlight arrangement (manufactured in the United States), and the
1987-1993 cars, with their aero composite headlamped front fascia
styling. Production ended with the introduction of the
fourth-generation Mustang (SN-95) for the 1994 model year.
