Vintage Mustang Pictures

We were recently going through some of our own old photo albums and found these cool pictures.

The first one was taken at an indoor car show, probably in Washington, DC. It appears to be a '65 Mustang HiPo Convertible.

Then we have a really cool shot of a '65 Mustang Drag coupe campaigned by Bob Ford Inc from Dearborn, MI. There's another shot from a dragstrip, but it's a bit too far away to tell anything other than it's a '65 Mustang fastback.

The last one is super cool...it's the "prototype shorty" two seater Mustang. If you want to read more about this car, check out this blog post from a few years ago:

Mustang Front Bumper to Fender Bracket Mounting Hardware

1965-68 Mustang Front Bumper End to Fender Bracket Mounting Hardware.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

1965-70 Mustangs have brackets that attach to the corners of the front bumper. These brackets also attach to the front fenders. The 65-68 models used a u-nut clip with an attached rubber padding that fits against the painted fender.

We love the details, so we have made the effort to put together the exact, correct hardware kit for this application. The kit contains two of these special "padded" u-nuts and two correct bolts. Both, of course, also feature the correct finishes. The bolts are available with a star washer or disc washer, as both were originally used. This kit will also work on 69-70 Mustangs.

Here are the links to these kits:

ER-4641 65-68 Front Bumper to Fender Bracket Mounting Kit (Show Quality - Star Washer Bolts)
ER-4642 65-68 Front Bumper to Fender Bracket Mounting Kit (Show Quality - Disc Washer Bolts)

There is also a generic kit available. It does not include the special padded u-nuts, but you can purchase our separate rubber insulator pads.
