  • Recent years have shown an increase in the number of vintage Early Fox race cars participating in vintage racing. This stands to reason as enough years have passed that our beloved Foxes are becoming vintage special-interest cars. Various race cars, or at least some of their parts, have started to surface here and there after having seemingly disappeared over the years. Often overlooked is the fact that as soon as Early Foxes were being produced, they were being raced in a wide variety of series all over the world. Fast Four Eyes were a common sight at nearly any track event.

    We don't have any additional information on this 1979 IMSA Ford Mustang, but its flares certainly resemble that of the 1980 IMSA Mustang. All we know is what this video and other similar videos offer in the caption: it's the 1979 Polito Ford IMSA Mustang. We'll try to hunt this car down and find out details in the future. This is a great looking, great sounding car. It is getting some proper workout time on the track and we're always happy to see such a thing.

      Wow! Thanks for sharing that. How did you find it? I am a sucker for these period race cars. Flares make me swoon.

      Good old Google search on "Polito IMSA Ford Mustang". If you do that search, you will find two youtube videos of that car.

      The original Ford sponsored Mustang Enduro racers are alive and on the track again. They are owned by 3-Dog Garage in Boyertown, PA and have just finished an extensive restoration. Here's a few pics. Attachment 64165Attachment 64166Attachment 64167Attachment 64168

    8.8 clunk?

    An actual clunk would seem to indicate play in a rotating part. Under power the slack is taken up. When you let off the parts separate until they hit
