Hopefully, you have been following our Blog documenting the restoration of 1966 Shelby GT350 number 6S933.

Man, I just love it when things start going together and really begin to look like something! Jeremy at Maple Hill Restoration is at this stage, and the car is looking fantastic! Check out the dated original engine and radiator. It's also rolling now!

The plan is for the car to be completed by this summer. If you are attending SAAC 44, the 44th annual Shelby American Automobile Club Convention, that will be held in Pittsburgh in July, you should be able to see the car...more later!

Oh, and for everyone really paying attention, that 15 inch steel wheel doesn't belong on 6S933. That one is for an early 1965 GT350. It's also a complete restoration! Stay tuned for more about that exciting project!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Virginia Classic Mustang!

Merry Christmas!

I love this, so I've been posting it for the past several years.  I found it somewhere on the Internet and tweaked it a bit. I don't know the author (sorry), but it is pretty cool!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Virginia Classic Mustang!

'Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage,

There wasn't a trace of a Chevy or a Dodge.

The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,

So I figured I'd mess with the ‘Stang for a bit.

I popped out the hood pins and I lifted the hood,

When a deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good."

Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,

And there, by the workbench, stood good ol’ Saint Nick!

We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,

Then he said "don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?

I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin,

"But if you've got the time we could go for a spin!"

His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,

Turned into a smile and he said "hey! Let's go!!"

So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat,

We pushed the Mustang quietly into the street,

Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,

I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill.

The sound that erupted took him by surprise,

But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.

With Goodyears a' crying and side pipes aglow,

We headed on out where the hot rodders go.

And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,

With every up shift, as I went through the gears.

Then he yelled "can't recall when I've felt so alive!",

So I backed off the gas and said "you wanna drive?"

Ol’ Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,

When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!

Then the HiPo exploded with side exhaust sound!

Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!

Power shift into second, again into third!

I sat there just watching, at loss for a word,

Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,

"Merry Christmas to all...........what a great night!!!"

New Part! 65-66 Mustang Windlace Retainer

1965 and 1966 Mustang Windlace Retainer

We now have 1965 and 1966 Mustang Windlace Retainers. If you aren't familiar with where these little pieces go...take a look. These retainers hold the windlace as it makes the transition from the roof rail lip to the door post lip. There is a "gap" at the end of the dash where there is nothing to attach the windlace to.

These retainers were originally installed on every single Mustang to hold the windlace in this transition area. Lots of times these little retainers are removed and lost.

This new part is exactly like the original and even comes with the proper pan head attaching screw.

Our part number is ST-411 and you can order it by clicking here.
