Love the foxbodies!!!
It was my first standard car I learned on, my neighbour I guess took me under his wing, and taught me the skills to driving standard, THEN , introduced me to Derek Hanson, the owner of the now-defunct DECH motorsports. AT that time (in the early 90's) DECH motorsports you could say was the equivalent in Canada to Saleen in the U.S.
With DECH, I went along on the DECH-days @ Shannonville recetrack, learned and got my SOLO1 SOLO2, conquered apexing, and all the necessary skills it took to drive that track. Also, Derek being the head instructor for BMW/Ferrari of Ontario, I got to ride along some of the most beautiful cars on the track at that time.
My neighbour was good friends with Derek. The picture you see is of the number #2 Dech mustang that they produced/equipped. Which you could order your specific "DECH" car thhrough a couple of Ford dealerships in Toronto .
Fun and woundrous time's I even got to see Jay Leno's Ford Festiva "SHO-Gun" when it was on tour in North America.
The car still exists, and is still in great condition. My neighbours son now owns the vehicle, BUT when the day comes for him to sell it, they know I'll be there with my chequebook lol, to re-claim the 1st car I fell in love with.
