I think there were Some Motorcraft Ads done with Pics in the Early 80's. Might want to Look through some old car ads,in the Car Magazines of the Day. I remember Getting Posters at the Dealership back in the Day with Pics of ROUSH and His Race Cars. Might Ck Ebay.

If memory serves me the IMSA and Trans-Am cars back in the day were interchangeable, meaning they could race in both series. Below is a link to a website that has many archive racing photos. I didn't see a Roush specific 1983, but there are other Roush Mustangs, Capris, and Merkurs.

Near as I can tell from the Trans Am website, Roush didn't enter the series until '84. Is it a tube frame car, or production based?

Yes, that ASC for a Turbo-4 . . . .

How I would love to build a 4-eyed fox like that ASC . . .but maybe with a V8.
