      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!

      83-86 HVAC panel/AC version

      Thanks for the offer, but I've got the later one on my car. It works fine, but if I came across a good condition, functional panel for a reasonable price,

      83-86 HVAC panel/AC version

      Ok, I was not aware of that variation. I thought there were only 3 types for 83-86 excluding the rear defrost addition

      1. No ac

      83-86 HVAC panel/AC version

      Is it the 83 to mid-85 panel? Or the mid-85 to 86 panel?

      In other words (no pun intended), does it have "Heat" and "Hi-Lo",

      Carb size?

      I have a 750 ProForm on my 331 and have also ran a 650 Brawler on the same car/engine. Driveability is fine with both. I really didn't have to mess with

      Rear end/Axle housing vent

      Replaced the vent valve last night. Easy peasy.

      There was a good “woosh” of air when I got the old one unscrewed, so we’ll

      Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, what I posted is exactly what is on the door tag. There is no "6". I will check the windshield. I would
