P.J. Pasierb’s 1993 Ford Mustang LX
Ford Performance Boss 363 powered LX rose from the wreckage.
P.J. Pasierb’s Fox-body story starts like many we’ve heard before. It’s a story of a dream fulfilled, a low-mile Fox preserved, some heads, a cam and an intake, but this story had one crushing blow that led to an amazing transformation.
P.J.’s grandfather is a 30-year Ford Motor Company veteran, P.J.’s father’s first car was a 1960 Ford Falcon, and P.J.’s first car was his family’s hand-me-down 1984 Mercury Marquis, so naturally he’s always had an affinity for the Ford brand. However, it was his parents purchase of a 1990 Fox-body LX 2.3 that got P.J. hooked on Foxes. Although P.J. lusted for a Fox throughout his formative years, he eventually piloted the aforementioned, trusty, Griswold style, family station wagon through high school instead. The Grand Marquis provided plenty of space and comfort along the way and gave him and the family quite a few good years of service, but that service came to an abrupt end when he was rear ended a week before graduation.
With his trusty station wagon totaled, his eye on a diploma, and his heart set on the University of Central Florida, P.J. was entering his final summer before college completely carless. However, his hard work in school not only landed him a scholarship to UCF, but his father also rewarded him with a little help buying a new car. That car turned out to be the Vermillion Red 1993 LX 5.0 shown here.
