This generation Mustang is known as the "Fox Body" generation, running from 1979-1993 and sharing its chassis with other vehicles from the time. This was one of the two times in history the Mustang had a rebadged cousin, in the form of the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri. Every few model years had some minor changes, but the biggest refresh was the 1987 model year, completely overhauling the looks of the front end and interior.

1979-82 - First model years, all noted for quad headlights and vertical tail lights
1983-86 - Some updated styling, revised horizontal tail lights
