A lasting impression. That’s what Brian Drumm’s 1979 Ford Mustang seems to do so well. Whether it’s on twentysomethings, French soldiers, or perhaps even you, there’s something about this Fox-body Mustang that you got to love.

A rad car with an even radder story.
I hope I get to see this in person some day.
This is a cool build and I like the most current version of the car. What's not to like about a turbocharged V8? Great story :)
I'm not a Ford fanboi, but i've got a soft spot for early Fox chassis cars.. Those Mustangs were so wrong and so right all at once.

Super cool read - Love seeing stories of cars in the family that stick around. Excellent work my friend.
Myself, soft spot for fox bodies here. I had a 1993 Fox body 2.3L in college (my folks won't let me get a 5.0; insurance reasons lol).
Had big dreams of dropping a 5.0 in it before I got hit in the right rear qtr panel making a left turn in college. Maybe one day..

I had a similar vintage 2.3 5spd Fairmont, not a quick machine.
Very cool story. Wish I had a few of my dad's vehicles I let get away.
I have to admit that when I saw the title I first thought of Uncle Rico's van from Napoleon Dynamite. 
As a recent convert to the Foxbody Mustang I love this story.
The cars are crude by are just such a slice of Americana that you can't help but love them.
