Congratulations to Jim Smart - Winner of the Lee Iacocca Award

Jim Smart - Recipient of the 2015 Lee Iacocca Award

We have known Jim Smart for well over 30 years.  I'll never forget when he photographed our '65 Mustang HiPo Convertible for a Mustang Monthly article way back in 1986.  We still stay in touch. Jim is a great guy and is a passionate supporter of the Mustang hobby.

We learned just yesterday that he won the Lee Iacocca Award that was presented over this past weekend at the Fabulous Fords Forever Show at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA.

Congratulations, Jim!

1965 289 High Performance Fastback Engine Project

Our friend, Jim Smart from Mustang Monthly Magazine is currently working on a project involving the engine detailing on a nice 1965 HiPo Mustang Fastback. The car recently appeared in the magazine, and the engine detailing article will appear later. We supplied many of the parts for the project including brake lines, valve covers, air cleaner, decals and tags, wiring, etc. Here are some quick photos. We post updates on this project later.

John Murphy's 1965 Mustang GT Fastback

You just have to check out the November 2008 issue of Mustang Monthly Magazine. Our friend, Jim Smart has put together another great article. This time the car featured is John Murphy's fantastic '65 Mustang GT "K Code" Fastback. John's Fastback is one of the nicest 289 High Performance Mustangs anywhere!

To read more about John's really cool car and see lots more photos, please see our previous blog entries about this 289 HiPo Mustang:

Customer Car-1969 GT Mustang Sportsroof

You may want to check out the latest issue (September 2009) issue of Mustang Monthly Magazine. One of the articles features a 1969 Mustang Sportsroof owned by long time customer, George Parker. George has a very nice car. It is also quite a unique Mustang since it is equipped with the GT package. The Mach 1 package was very popular in 1969, so the GT package is rather rare. The article is written by Jim Smart.

We would also like to thank Jim for the photos of George's car that are shown here.

1965 GT350 Mustang

When you get a chance, check out the April 2008 edition of Mustang Monthly. That's our very own '65 GT350 Mustang featured. As always, our friend, Jim Smart did a fantastic job with the article. Jim has been writing about Mustangs and Shelbys for probably over 25 years now!
