Pete Slaney’s 1979 Mustang Cobra
Many of us have been there. Back in high school we all wanted a car of our own. Sometimes we made do with the hand-me-downs given to us by our parents or family members, but, more often than not, we secretly harbored the desire for a cool ride. Pete Slaney would have given his right arm for a 1985 Mustang GT in high school but "the insurance was just outrageous, so I had to settle for a FordRanger instead." Still, it was a set of wheels, but as time passed Pete's enthusiasm for Ponies of the wheeled variety began to grow. "Ultimately, it was my twin brother, Paul who really got me to take the plunge." Paul purchased an '85 GT and being the hands on kind of guy he is - he works in a machine shop - turned the four-eyed rocket into a 12-second, show-winning street car. "It was really nicely done. I used to go for drives in it and once I felt the power and awesome drivability for myself I knew I had to get a 5.0 of my own." That day finally came in April 2000.

Cool Fox and I remember reading that article back in 2007. I still have that issue around here somewhere I believe.

Love seeing Northeast Foxes in the Mags...
