Congratulations to our very own vintageracer for having his 1982 SSP Mustang Engineering Mule featured in Road & Track this month. Web Editor Zach Bowman took a 2015 Ford Mustang GT on a road trip to Nashville to go experience the origins of a legendary line of Mustangs.

Bowman's grasp of the Fox reality comes through in this gem:

Like everything else cops touch, the state police Mustangs were rumored to be hotter than anything you could get on the street. Special skunkworks motors. Experimental suspensions. The full Blues Brothers treatment. Very powerful stuff. The truth is, the cars weren't much more than stripper GTs.

It's refreshing to see an author who has knowledge beyond the old wives' tales of the automotive world.

You'll definitely want to take the time to read the article in the link below. Bowman has a true appreciation for the early Foxes, the personality inherent to them and the simplicity that makes them so enjoyable. Be sure to check out the additional photo gallery and leave a comment on the R&T page!

FEP member Rob Maurice, known on our forums as RSmerc, has been a part of our community since 2008. His featured Capri RS came into his life all the way back in October 1999 when it was purchased as his first car. Rob was infected with a car addiction early in life thanks to his father and thanks again to his father Fords were his vehicles of choice. When it came time to get his first car, he knew it had to be a Fox body, but when the opportunity for a unique Mercury Capri rather than the more common Mustang was found on the opposite side of his home town, Rob couldn’t say no.

If you're planning to restore your 79 Pace Car, or are anywhere in the process such that the decals are an upcoming concern, you're going to want to take a look at this thread in our Restoration Related forum. FEP member 79mustangcobra has picked up on some subtle differences in an available reproduction decal kit versus the OEM which may be of interest to those getting ready to deal with the decals. Click here to read more.

And, if you're detail-oriented, you may well notice the decal problem of a different kind in the promo-image above, too.
