In the beginning the four-eyed Fox was nothing more than a stock 302 that was backed by a factory AOD. Aside from the Vortech supercharger, the Mustang remained stock for quite a while. Once the AOD gave up the ghost, a TKO- 500 was swapped in and an eight-point cage was added for safety. In this form, the mostly stock Fox would consistently run 7.70s in the eight-mile, which was quite impressive for a stick car back in 1998.
Fast-forward to the late 2000s. The four-eye was pulled apart to be converted into Super Stock trim, but David’s cousin quickly lost interest. It was then that his younger brother Doug acquired the car with the intention of completing the build and racing it. David at the time had another 1986 GT that was competitive in street car classes, but the chassis had reached its limit, so that car was torn down and eventually sold off as a roller. David approached his brother Doug back in 2014, knowing this chassis was much more capable of handling what it would take to compete in X275. A deal was made, and David began his dream build.
