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!!!"

Such a cool experience!

As part of the 2023 GT350 Tour we were fortunate enough to have the over 40 vintage GT350s attending line up three wide for a "picture perfect" image on the front stretch of the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

To make things even cooler, we took a lap, also three wide, around the raceway.

Certainly a day that will not be forgotten!

We probably won't see this again! How about over 40 vintage GT350 Mustang Shelbys in front of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.

That is just what happened when our 2023 GT350 Tour rolled by for a visit!

It's a great museum and is certainly worth a visit!

The eighth GT350 Tour was recently based out of the historic French Lick Springs Resort in French Lick, IN.

This invitational Tour was first held in 2015 with only 14 cars attending. Things have obviously changed, and this year's Tour had over 40 vintage GT350s participating in the event. They were all 1965 and 1966 models with the exception of two 1967s. We are really fortunate in that we have attended all eight now! Seven of them have been in our old green '66 GT350 (SFM6S1732). It missed only one year when it had to stay home to allow our '65 to attend.

The Tour always includes lots of driving (800 to 1000 miles for the week) along with some very cool visits. This year, those visits were over the top with stops at incredible private car collections, the National Corvette Museum, cool little towns, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

While we cannot share any pictures of the private collections, there are two more posts planned with a few pictures from the Corvette Museum and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Be sure to watch for those coming soon!

Road Trip to Amelia Island

 Road trips are always fun, particularly if you are participating with early GT350 Shelbys and Cobras! 

It's even better yet if you are going to a cool car event like The Amelia.

Stemming from a rather "quick" idea from Tom Cotter, three Cobras and five vintage GT350s made the trip from Charlotte, NC to Amelia Island for the annual car event and related festivities.

The trip down to Florida included a few cool car collection visits. The Cars and Coffee event on Saturday morning was a hit with all of the vintage Shelby vehicles parked together on the golf course. The excellent weather, great friends, auctions, and other event made for an incredible trip. 

Enjoy a few of the pictures.
