Ok, we get it, most of the 35-plus year old RPM readers got hooked on speed (the horsepower kind of speed) behind the wheel of a Fox Body Mustang.
Te Fox Stang is arguably one of the best platforms to build a street or strip car with – there are a ton of parts available for every area of the car, they’re light and even cut the air pretty darn good, too – so we agree! And that’s why you will see 1979 to 1993 Mus tangs with every engine offering from Ford in them, not to men tion a selection of GM mills, and yes, even the odd Mopar under the hood. But that’s not at all what we are dealing with here,
this my friends is an ole school hot rod that puts down the num bers!
“I have wanted to race since I could walk!” Exclaimed Dome nic Friguglietti, Jr. “I used to go to races with my dad who helped a guy that ran Super Stock and also helped on an ARCA car… I just always loved cars.”
Of course, once Domenic was ready and legal to get behind the wheel he realized that he liked to go fast, too. It wasn’t long before he built a number of street cars and amassed a lot of tickets to go along with them, and admitted ly even lost his driver’s license a time or two!

It only takes one quick look at this 67 Mustang to realize it is anything but a regular street cruiser. With a wicked intake poking through the hood, a sizable turbo taking up real es tate in the front grille and ’chute hanging off the back, it’s a safe bet that this Crazy Horse can hang with the big guns

Trying his hand at Extreme Street once again, Domenic was able to get the car into the 7-second zone, actual ly going 7.95 @ 180mph with the fresh build right off the trailer. “ Te Camaro had a lot more lef in it, but I never got a chance to get things really going. I have no doubt it would have been very com petitive, but when life problems struck again, along with putting my daughter through college, I had to quit racing again,” he added.
With a mostly original steel body and paint, except for a composite hood and trunk lid, the 67 gives off a seriously cool factory vibe while at the same time warning of its capabilities on the strip.
