Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Virginia Classic Mustang!

Merry Christmas!
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

I love this, so I've been posting it for many 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!!!"

Early Production Shelbys at the 2022 Muscle Car Nationals in Chicago

The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (often referred to as MCACN) is always held the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago. It's a great location (once you are out of the outside weather in Chicago!), and the show never disappoints.

This year was extra fun for us GT350 Mustang Shelby fans because there was a special display featuring early production GT350s. The display included 5S003, 5006, 5009, 5010, 5012, and 5013. GT350 project engineer, and all around nice guy, Chuck Cantwell attended as well!

Another highlight was the display of an original family owner 1965 GT350. The owner was extremely gracious in telling the story of his dad's purchase of the car in 1965 and sharing the huge binder of original paperwork! There were other great Shelby Mustangs in attendance along with so many other brands of nice muscle cars.

This has really become a show that should be on every car guy's bucket list.

2022 GT350 Tour Goes Back to the Ozarks

2022 GT350 Tour
©Virginia Classic Mustang Inc

The GT350 Tour began in 2015 as a small gathering of GT350s. As it remains today, it is an invited group of friends staying at a resort, eating great food, driving fantastic roads, and visiting cool places for a week. Only 13 cars participated in that first Tour.

Over the years, the GT350 Tour has grown in many ways...one being the number of cars. This year, we had a whooping 38 GT350s. That is quite a few GT350 Shelbys in one single place...perhaps the most that I have personally seen together at once, especially considering that 36 of the 38 were 1965 and 1966 models. Folks were invited from all over the country including California, Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Delaware, and Ohio. Oh, and we don't want to forget one from Canada also!

While this was our seventh Tour (2016 was skipped), it was the first Tour where a previous location was repeated. This year, the GT350 Tour returned to our 2019 location of The Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgeville, Missouri. The Ozarks provided a fantastic location for touring the great roads in the Arkansas/Missouri area.

The GT350 Tour certainly does not happen all by itself! Credit goes to the organizer, Lee Cross, who just does a tremendous job putting the event together. It is an all-year job with a whole lot of pieces, fueled totally by his passion for these great cars and even better friends.
