Does any one know what year or years they made the Fox 35 with the polished crankcase?
Thanks, Terry B

Im not sure of the exact years but it was in the 70's. I also think that they wern't polished but cad plated to give that shiney look.

If you are talking about the real shiny ones, I have one new in the box that is a 1976 model. These have muffler lugs like the 40th anniversary models. Their were also some fairly shiny ones built in the early 60's. No muffler lugs or bar in the exhaust stack on these.

I bought a .19 Stunt in 1978 that had the shiny case. In 1979 or 80 the .36 I bought had the matte finish case. If you have a shiny case Stunt 35, a Blue Magic cylinder head really dresses it up.
cheers,
Ken

I have a shiny case Fox 35 that I bought new sometime around 1973. This is when Fox first started offering mufflers and their engines all had the over/under mounts for mufflers.

The answer has got to be in the fairly recent ECJ Fox series.

There were "Gold Plated" Fox 35s one year. I have one, but it has faded out to look like a chrome plated one now. Maybe they were the 25th Anniversary??
It was a thin (not really Gold I don't think) electroplating, IIRC, done by GE.

I think the 'Gold' Fox 35 was the 15th anniversary... I heard it was actually a brass plating from a place that made light fixtures... FWIW...

"GOLD PLATED" Fox .35 was in 1963 for its 15th Anniversary, the first shiney case with tumbled case-head-backplate was in 1972.
