Dave Rushforth

Ford Mustang II

Dave’s 1975 Mustang II was imported from new, converted to right hand drive and first registered on 1st August 1975 and Dave has owned the car since 1990.

The 302ci’s modifications include 9.0:1 Comp pistons, Comp Cams XE262 cam, Edelbrock Performer manifold, Holley 600cfm carb with vacuum secondaries, ARP rod bolts, Ford Motorsport oil pump drive shaft and Accel Blueprint distributor.

The legend that has become ‘Deep Staging Dave’ first raced it in 1997, when he ran in Street Eliminator, going on to win his first championship. And this car has always proved to be consistent and reliable. It is always driven to and from the track; it’s raced in street trim and runs mid 14s.

Dave is a consistant contender, all round good bloke, with an unhealthy knowledge of all things drag racing, sonny boy Ben Rushforth campaigns a pink Pop and spanners at Kenny Colman's EDA during the week.
