1969 Mustang 4 Speed Back Up Light Switch

If you have a 69 Mustang equipped with a Four Speed Transmission and need a Back-Up Light Switch, up until now, it was tough to find one. I said up until now...we have them IN STOCK! These are just like the originals and will work only if you have the original, factory 4 spd. shifter.

They were made from NOS patterns and the original Ford Blue Prints. Our part number is IN6151.

And don't forget the wiring feed for this switch. It's part number IN615.

Another Vintage TV Commercial-1969 Mustang Mach 1

We posted a vintage 1965 Mustang TV Commercial last week. We got a lot of comments about the post, so we thought that we would post another one. This one is for the 1969 Mustang Mach 1 and was sent in by one of our readers.

Correct Mustang Exhaust Clamps

We recently had some discussion about the correct exhaust clamps to use on your Mustang. Please keep in mind that this post concerns 65-66 GT, High Performance and factory dual exhaust equipped cars with the more common 65-66 Factory GT Exhaust System as pictured above. The reason I mention this is because there were earlier style High Performance Dual Exhaust Systems on the 289 High Performance Mustangs before the GT package was introduced in the early spring of 1965. The clamp pictured above is our part number EH261. This "band" style clamp is used to attach the rear tail pipe/tip to the rear hanger assembly.

The above clamp is a very nice detail for an authentic Mustang restoration. It is the clamp that originally attached the H-Pipe to the intermediate pipe. It, of course, can be used in other areas also. This is our part number EH931. As you can see, this clamp has the nice "FoMoCo" stamping detail along with the unique, original shape and design.

By the way, we have these in 2 1/8 and 2 1/4 inch sizes also.

This last clamp is quite unique. This is the clamp that attaches the GT Exhaust Tip or turn down tip (in the case of a not-GT 289 High Performance Mustang or 66 GT350) to the tail pipe. Our part number on this clamp is EH53.

SAAC 31

Just ran across some photos from the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) Convention that was held at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in the summer of 2006. Here are a few of them for you to enjoy!

Mustang TV Commercial

This is an actual TV commercial from 1965 for the Mustang. I think stuff like this is really cool. I hope you enjoy it.

Boy...things have changed since 1965, huh?

Mustang Seat Belt Bolts

Little details always "make" the restoration. I always hate to see a beautifully restored Mustang with seat belt bolts that look out of place. Sure, a regular hex head bolt will do the job, but the correct bolt looks much, much better.

Over 25 years ago, I used to collect all of the good, original seat belt bolts that I could find. Honestly, a lot of them, even back then, were not in the best shape.

Anyway, you do not have to do that any more. We have the correct seat belt bolt sets for most all Mustang applications from 65-73. Click here to see them all. We also just posted new photos of each Mustang Seat Belt Bolt Set.

Before you ask though, we currently do not have any of the early style eye bolts for the 64 1/2 Mustangs. When and if we get some, you will read about it here.

Mustang Wheel and Tire Packages

Way back in 1996, we fitted one of our own Mustangs with 205/70 x 14 B.F. Goodrich Radial TA Raised White Letter Tires mounted on
our 14 x 7 Styled Steel Wheels.

When this 1966 Mustang GT Fastback appeared on our 1997 Catalog Cover, we got a whole lot of phone calls about those wheels and tires.

After that time, we decided to put together our wheel and tire packages. These packages are offered with our Mustang Styled Steel Wheels, American Racing Torq-Thrust Wheels, and Magnum 500 Wheels. A package includes four wheels, 20 chrome lug nuts, and proper centers for the particular wheels ordered. They come to your door mounted and balanced and ready to bolt on your Mustang.

Unfortunately, these tires are produced at certain times, and it is sometimes difficult to get them. There was a recent production run, and we now have a good stock of all the sizes.

We recommend and sell 205/70 x 14 size tires for mounting on 14 inch wheels. Despite what you may have read about 225/60 x 15 size tires, we use 215/60 x 15's for the 15 inch wheels. The 225's are too big, particularly on the 65-66 Mustangs. We also have the 235/60 x 15's which work well on the 69-70 and 71-73 Mustangs.
