He actually managed to track Tony down and talk to him, he now owns a coffee shop and drives a slant six Duster if you can believe it. The Mustang from that article is a gutted race car shell now, sitting in a back yard in the Poconos, the current owner has no clue or interest in the history of it. That's a bit of a hike from Vancouver, but one day we may just make the trip to go get it!
Yes I do. Man, Tony was a beast back in the day, and I was saddened when Cars Illustrated folded. To me, it was ahead of it's time, and a good gut shot to the other rags that were out there.
