New wheel for 6 Cylinder 4 Lug Mustangs
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We now have a great wheel for owners with the 6 cylinder equipped 4 lug Mustangs.

This wheel is like the styled steel wheel that was original equipped on many 1968 and 1969 Mustangs. Of course, it will fit and look great on all 65-73 (4 lug) models.

It features an all chrome finish, and it's made in the U.S.A.!!! 14 x 6 size, which works great on the Mustangs (or other Fords).

Use our plain or GT center hubcaps with this beautiful wheel.

1966 GT350H Shelby Hertz

Way back in the early 1980s, I owned this 1966 GT350H Shelby Hertz car...number SFM6S584. It's one of 85 factory equipped 4 speed Hertz Shelbys. We restored it, and it appeared on the 1985-86 Virginia Mustang Catalog. It was sold shortly after that.

The car passed through quite a few hands over the years, and I would get emails once in a while asking for information on the car.

A few years ago, the current owner brought it to Anghel Restorations in Scottsdale, AZ for a complete restoration. I was asked to be a consultant on the project, and, of course, lots of parts for the restoration came from here at Virginia Classic Mustang.

The restoration is now complete, and it turned out fabulous. 

Thank you to Marcus at Anghel Restorations for sharing the images that you see here. He did a great job on the restoration, and I know that the owner is super happy to take delivery of the car!

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!!!!
