Description:
I picked this Baby Fox up for, honestly, a bit more than it is probably worth. I needed a parts machine, though, and this is certainly that; I'm not sure if I could make this thing as it should be, since it came to me with substituted parts, missing 3 typeslugs, a bent frame, and with rust literally everywhere. The aluminum frame is corroded so badly, I had to scrub at it for a minute to even see the serial number.
If I get the other machines fixed up right, and theres enough left over to still fix this one up, I think I'll repaint it white and give it decal striping like in the original Baby Fox advertisements.
