This is going to be a shelf replica of the number 32 Ford Mustang, late model, driven by Jim Nave.
He raced at Port Royal, Bedford and other western Pa. tracks. He had many wins with this car. Powered by a 427 ci big block Ford.
There were at least two versions of this car, the first had leaf springs on the rear. The second car was a C&F chassis with coil springs front and rear.

I'm using a Ford Nascar kit for the build.
Mustang body provided by John 2 on the forum.

Glad it found a good home, Bob.  Sure it will be another good one.

Man Bob...anything Mustang has got to be cool!! Dirt or Asphalt. I'm really liking this one for sure.
