Desert fox

I see a 77 Desert Fox listed on Ebay...looks to be original, correct and complete ...claimed to be a prototype and likely is ;the vendor has had some Street Coupes before and is familiar with special editions ....

Still some barn finds out there ......item # 150606513918

Re: Desert fox

Wow forgot about those. Must have dual tanks(cap on this side?). Hope it gets restored or not touched too much.

Re: Desert fox

Could be worn out cab bushings or rusted cab supports, too.

Re: Desert fox

It's up to $2500. I hope someone here scores it and restores it.

Re: Desert fox

Saw this Jimmy Desert Fox on the Portland CL.
1979 GMC Jimmy Desert Fox Rare 4x4 special edition Truck . This truck is complete and runs and drives but needs attention as it has set for an extended time. It has a lot of factory options and a sidewinder winch. Call Gary 503-550-4530

Re: Desert fox

If I had room for another truck I would be willing to go to OR just to get a true Desert Fox

That sounds like a deal right there. I wonder how bad of shape it's in? Doesn't look like that's the dry part of the state.
