Completing My Fox Dreams!
Never thought the day would come, but on this 51st Birthday of our beloved Mustang - my third and final Dream Fox is becoming a reality
In 1987 my first car was a 1982 Capris RS, and my first boss had a 1982 Mustang GT with less than 10k miles. I told him I would buy it some day. It was my first Dream Fox that I longed for. After 21 years of contact and persistence - I brought it home in September of 2008.
In 1991 I sold the Capri for a 1985 GT with t-tops, and that lasted about 3 years. Then in 1994 while helping my brother move into his first house I spotted a black beauty across the street and stopped what I was doing. I introduced myself and claimed I would buy it some day. That '85 GT was my second Dream Fox. After 15 years of contact and persistence, I brought it home in July of 2009.
In 1993 when the Yellow Summer Feature was introduced, I claimed I would own one some day. I never really found the car to "chase" for years on end, but it was my third Dream Fox regardless. I had three stipulations....had to be yellow, had to be black trim/chrome wheels and had to have three pedals. In 2013 I stumbled across an incredible example at an MCA National in Indianapolis. It was yellow and black, so next up was a quick glance under the hood...and there it was, the obvious clutch pedal! With only 2,400 miles on the clock I introduced myself to the owner and said I wanted the car should he ever sell. Less than two years later he called, and the deal was made today. She'll be coming home on Monday afternoon.
Never thought any of these three dreams would come true, let alone all three of them. Feeling quite lucky to be able to pull it off, and all from original owners.....all that lived within 20 minutes of me their entire lives
