Early Fox News

It seems that all we want to know about is the dash...

Okay, so it's trying to tell us that there is a very informative display of gauges on the very nice looking dash. Maybe.

This appeared in the November 1979 Motor Trend magazine. While a number of these aftermarket conversion companies have become relatively familiar to early Fox enthusiasts, a quick search turns up nothing about Tomorrow's Classics. The name of the company certainly doesn't help as most results are speculation about the collector cars of the future.

While the article mentions base models or Ghia coupes, the car in the picture is certainly very basic with its missing trim.

Do you know anything about Tomorrow's Classics? Have you seen one of these cars, or better yet, have one with some documentation? Please let us know!

Have a red, white, blue or even silver Mustang? Making plans for Carlisle? Take a look at their plans to make an American flag out of Mustangs. It would be great to see some Early Foxes represented in this display to try to balance out what's sure to be an abundance of classics and late-models.

MotorWeek has been rifling through their archives and posting tons of their RetroReviews over the last couple of years or so. Being an enthusiast-leaning show, it comes as little surprise that they found the 84 Mustang SVO to be a driver's car and appreciated all the improvements the Special Vehicle Operations team made.

Amusingly, back in just the 1984 model year, they were calling the Fox Mustang 'old.' Little did they know, it would be running for nearly another decade. And, what is up with calling a Mustang a "'Tang?" Did anyone ever say that? A first for me to hear, at least.

While testing this early SVO, they were aware and made mention of future upgrades to the headlights and suspension. Also, showing how little anyone noticed the Mustang Turbo GT and Capri Turbo RS models, the debut of the EFI 2.3T engine was attributed solely to the Thunderbird TurboCoupe.

Their testing results included the following:
Stopping from 55mph in 123 ft (range from 119-128 )
0-60 in 7.9 sec
1/4 mile in 16.7 sec @ 87 mph
24mpg (manufacturer/EPA claims of 21 city, 32 hwy)

And, an interesting metric of theirs was mentioned, that of "passing traffic."
