Virginia Classic Mustang Visits Arizona

Anghel Restorations
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We recently returned from Arizona and wanted to share some pictures of the cool places that we visited. The reason for our visit was to check out one of the 85 original 4 speed equipped 1966 GT350H Hertz Shelby "rent-a-racers". We owned the car over 30 years ago! Marcus Anghel at Anghel Restorations is handling the restoration in his very nice shop. A Grabber Blue 1970 Boss 302 was also going together in his shop.

We then visited one of our favorite suppliers, Kevin Marti at Marti Auto Works. Kevin, of course, does the famous "Marti Report", made possible by his agreement with Ford in handling all of the Ford vehicle data from 1967 up. He's one of our favorite suppliers due to his attention to detail. We handle a complete line of Marti Auto Works products simply because they believe in quality like we do at Virginia Mustang.

There are quite a few reproductions of radiator hoses, heater hoses, and other items on the market, but Marti's items are Made in the USA and are far superior to others.

Both Marcus and Kevin have very nice collections of Ford and Mustang memorabilia and signs. Check out our pictures and enjoy!

Marti Auto Works

We have been dealing with Kevin Marti at Marti Auto Works for many, many years. It was probably around the time that Kevin first started his business. Kevin is a true enthusiast, and it shows. We continue to do a lot of business with him. We sell his correctly stamped hoses, spark plug wires, battery cables, data plates and labels for the Mustangs. We also handle his two great books: Mustang by the Numbers and The Mustang and Cougar Tagbook.

We bring this all up because of the informative article written by Donald Farr in the latest (August 2008) issue of Mustang Monthly magazine. In the article, Donald interviews Kevin about the history of his company and how he obtained the database of 1967-73 car information from Ford Motor Company. Check it out!

IN STOCK! The Mustang and Cougar Tagbook (1965-1973 Models)

We posted the other day about this book by Kevin Marti at Marti Auto Works, but we wanted to let everyone know that they are now in stock!!

We just had time to glance through this book, but we can tell you that it contains a wealth of information. Not only are there tons of information about decoding all of the various tags on Mustangs and Cougars, but there is information about colors, dates, variations in the tags, locations of the tags, etc.

We've been selling Classic Mustang Parts for over 30 years and can tell you that this is information that is very valuable and has never been published for purchase by the general public.

Chapters include the following:

Carburetor Tag
Radiator Tag
Transmission Tag
Axle Tag
Steering Box Tag
Power Steering Pump Tag
Glovebox Ownercard Tag
Buck Tag

65-73 Mustang and Cougar Tag Decoder Book

We never promote something before we get the item in stock, but this is an exception. We are expecting this to be a fantastic research book. We should have them in stock very soon. We will have more about this book in a later post. Order part number LT611.

Here is our description:
This new book by Kevin Marti features details never before published about various tags used on 65-73 Mustangs and Cougars. Kevin Marti at Marti Auto Works has been researching this subject for over 20 years. This is a complete guide to decoding the engine, transmission, carburetor, steering box, power steering pump, axle, radiator, buck, VIN, ownercard and door data tags on your car. Detailed pictures showing actual tags and noting running production changes and assembly plant differences. Accurate charts that show third digit on some trim codes, how to decipher the date codes on various tags, and so much more. Valuable for restoration or authentication, it is possible with this one book to establish whether major items on a Mustang or Cougar are "numbers matching."
