| December 1986 Mustang Monthly Magazine |
In today's environment, it really was not unexpected to hear the announcement that Mustang Monthly will no longer be offered as a print magazine along with 19 of 22 other automotive titles from TEN Publishing.
That said and being involved in this hobby for over 40 years, it was kind of sad for us to hear the formal announcement.
Virginia Classic Mustang was one of the first advertisers in Mustang Monthly, even before it was called that. I believe when Larry Dobbs started the publication, it was named The Mustang Exchange Letter. Lots of changes happened with the magazine, particularly when bigger publishing companies became the owner of the title.
We have been so fortunate to "grow up" with this hobby. We have made lots of friends who share our passion for these great cars. Just from our involvement with Mustang Monthly, we can call Donald Farr, Jim Smart, Mark Houlahan, and others friends. If you are new to the hobby, you may not recognize these names, but if you are an "old timer," you most certainly will.
We've posted a few pictures here of the issues that my early '65 Mustang HiPo Convertible was featured in. The first was by Jim Smart way back in 1986. After its second restoration, it was featured again in 2012 by Donald Farr. I believe my '65 GT350 was featured by Jim in an issue many years ago also.
I still have both cars!
Virginia Classic Mustang continues to be more about a hobby and passion than a business. That's why we continue to have great (and repeat) customers like yourself!
