Classic Mustang at African Rally Race

What a rare site to see in East Africa’s rally race last Sunday, a 1968 Mustang flying across the wilds of Kenya and Tanzania. The driver Ian Duncan is a former Safari Rally winner and multiple Kenya National Rally champion. The classic 1968 Mustang he used in this years African race is powered by a 400 horsepower 302 V8, backed up by a 4 speed manual transmission. Other mods include a beefed up suspension and skid plates. This race is termed the “World Greatest Classic Car Rally,” it sounds pretty exciting. Even Duncan remarked on how much he loved this years race.

It truly is a unique race because you’ll see all types of wild animals on the sideline, the drivers have to actually watch out for monster elephants crossing the road. Could you imagine slamming your Mustang into one of those beasts, your Ford Mustang would be totaled. The other cars that made it to this rally were a Datsun 260 Z, Peugeot 504 Coupe, Porsche 911, and a Porsche 911. Porsche 911, I didn’t know Porsche’s ever raced in rallys, that’s pretty crazy. Truthfully I guess any car could be setup for rallying. With the compact size of a Porsche sports car, I guess it would make a dynamite rally car. I posted some pictures down below from the African Rally Race, I like the one where the mud and dirt is flying in the air, that looks spectacular.
