1971-73 Mustang Seat Buttons


1971-73 Mustang Grande and Deluxe Interior Seat Button Set.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We now have1971-73 Mustang Grande and Deluxe Interior Seat Buttons.

These deluxe buttons are made from pressure die-cast zinc and steel then beautifully chrome plated and brushed to an exquisite finish. Because Ford's original design does not allow for the original buttons to be re-used, these are a must have for all restorations on 1971-73 deluxe interior Mustangs.

Each set includes a pair of buttons and original-style retaining plates to properly recess buttons into your seat's upholstery. The back plates are zinc plated to prevent rusting.

Mach 1 buttons will be available early 2012.

Ethanol in Your Mustang's Gas Tank

We are always hearing about the effects of ethanol in fuel that we put in our classic Mustang's tanks.  I personally try to stay away from it by going to the handful of stations around here that carry ethanol free fuel.

Anyway, here is a interesting video that someone recently email to me.  Check it out, and see what you think.

We have been waiting on this part for a long time!  We now have (due in around the first part of November 2011) the 1965 Mustang Fuel Pump Filter Canister.  This fuel filter canister is made just like the original and screws on the '65 style fuel pump.

It is white with the correct ribbing and indentations on the bottom.  It also features the the correct "FoMoCo Genuine Parts" logo along with the wording "For Service Instructions See Owners Manual."  This information is silkscreened on the canister in red, just like the original.  It is not a decal!

The little stars are even screened like the original above the FoMoCo logo.

There was a reproduction of this part available many years ago, and it has not been available for a long time.  This new one is even nicer with all of the correct details mentioned above.

The first run is limited, so order now!  Our part number is ER334.  We are really excited to have this part available!

2011 NE Regional SAAC Meet

The 2nd Annual Northeast Regional Shelby American Automobile Club Meet was just held this past weekend. Just like the first one, it was a great event.  Dan and his team do a great job putting this event together.  It is already being planned for next year.  We encourage you to attend if you are able.

The event starts with a nice Friday evening social.  Saturday is the road tour, but things don't get started until a great breakfast buffet at the Sheraton Hotel.  The tour stop included a visit to drag racer and former Dragon Snake driver/owner , Bruce Larson's barn houses a great collection of drag racing memorabilia and cars.  The Road Tour concludes at Bill Collins' shop with a super lunch provided by Bill.  Saturday night is the banquet and program at the Sheraton.  The Sunday car show is held at the AACA Museum in Hershey.

Enjoy the pictures.  By the way, if you click on a picture, you can now view them full screen and browse each one!

We have been out of these items for a while, but we now have them back in stock.

They are the step plate (or sill plate) labels for the 1966 GT350 Shelby. These labels can, of course, be used on any step plate. Detail is very important on a part like this, and these labels are very, very nice. They feature the correct raised borders and "CS" logos just like the originals.

Check out the below pictures of the actual labels along with a picture of some originals.

www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com



New from Scott Drake are our 304 Stainless Steel, Tri-Y Headers. All tubes are CNC mandrel bent, then carefully placed in our precision-engineered welding jig for a perfect assembly and fit.

Other features include mounting flange bolts that can also be easily accessed. In addition, these headers provides full articulation of steering assembly w/out interference.
*Note: Power Steering cars do require our EH-37 drop down bracket.

Over forty years of Mustang modifications have resulted in endless configurations and drivetrain combinations, but we believe this product offers the best overall fit available. Unique features included are extra thick 3/8 inch flanges to prevent warping, metal-composite flange gaskets, 1.5 inch primaries, 1.75 inch secondarys and 2.5 inch Collectors. Reducer cones with gaskets (which taper to 2 inch) and all necessary mounting hardware are provided.
