Jason Enos’ absolutely stunning 1967 Mustang Outlaw 10.5 car is nearing it’s return to racing action following a crash in July, with the final paint work and odds and ends being finished up as we speak at the DMC Racing shop in Massachusetts.

Jason debuted his show-quality ride that had been a work in progress for more than three years back in May with some impressive quarter mile laps right off the trailer, running in the 6.70’s on just it’s third pass in testing. In the semi-final round of eliminations at the Ultimate Outlaws race at Milan Dragway in July, Enos had just fallen to eventual winner Scotty Guadagno, 4.44 to 4.53, when the Mustang made a hard move to the left and shot nearly head-on into the left lane retaining wall, before slapping the wall again with the tail of the car.

Not to let an incident like this derail his joy of racing, the car he’d labored so hard to complete, Jason dropped the car off at Dennis MacPherson’s sho  Ip.n just two months time, the job had shifted from construction to reconstruction. With the end of the season looming, MacPherson and his crew are hard at it to get the car completed in time for Enos to debut it at one of the seasons remaining events, with the World Cup at MIR a distinct possibility.

At this point, the repair work is down to repainting of the new nose, the arrival of the turbos that were sent off to be freshened, and some small parts and pieces needed to get it back on track. In the crash, the car was virtually wiped out from the firewall forward and the entire drivers side, from the nose to the wing was damaged. The chassis from the firewall forward has been rebuilt along with the front suspension, the tanks, and headers. The left side door and lexan were replaced, and the rear quarter panel was carefully massaged out to its like-new appearance.

Look for Jason and his Mustang back in the Outlaw 10.5 mix in the coming weeks, that tentatively will include the long tow out to Las Vegas for the Street Car Super Nationals next month along with the DMC-prepared cars of Paul Major and Dave DeMarco.
