Music Video in the Dearborn Assembly Plant

From the music side of things, I believe that this video is sort of known as the first "music video." As Classic Mustang enthusiasts though, we can really get a cool insight into how the original Mustangs were built. While the quality is not great, you can really pick up a lot of cool little details in this video showing the assembly of some 1965 Mustangs. I know that I watched it several times trying to catch those little details.

Check out Martha Reeves and The Vandellas performing "Nowhere to Run."

Pretty cool...

The Complete Book of Shelby Automobiles: Cobras, Mustangs, and Super Snakes

Here is another gift idea for that Mustang or Shelby enthusiast. This is a super nice hardback book. It covers all the Shelby cars from the early days to the new Mustangs. The photography is fantastic, and there are some cool vintage images that have rarely been published. It's not just a picture book though, there is really a lot of good information in this 256 page book.

Order our part number LT612.

Here is the review from the Shelby American Automobile Club:

"When you see a book described on its cover as being “complete,” your eyebrow automatically goes up. This is especially true when that adjective is describing a book on Shelby cars. There are so many examples, permutations and exceptions swirling around in the Cobra/Shelby universe that it’s almost a slam-dunk to imagine that something was overlooked. This is clearly not the case with SAAC member Colin Comer’s latest book. He tells the story and he gets it just right; he doesn’t gloss over the important stuff and it’s not a puff piece or an homage to Carroll Shelby. The glossy pages of this book have a very high quality feel to them. The reproduction of the photos are second to none and the color values are perfect. You will not be disappointed with this book."—The Shelby American, the official publication of SAAC (Shelby American Automobile Club)

Collector's Originality Guide Mustang 1964-1/2-1966

With the holidays quickly approaching, a new book is always a great gift idea for your favorite Mustang fan. As the title suggests, this book only covers the popular 1964 1/2-66 model Mustangs. It starts with an introduction showing the basic differences between the years. Date plate information, dates on certain components, options, and many other details are covered. There are tons of nice pictures to go along with the great explanations.

Under each model year, there are sections covering Body and Exterior Trim, Date Plates, Interior, Chassis, Engine Options, Exhaust, Transmissions, Clutches, Rear Axles, Suspension, Heating and Cooling, Electrical, Wheels and Tires, and more. And again, I cannot say enough about the great color photography that goes along with each section.

1965 and 1966 Mustang GT350's (Shelbys) are also covered in the same manner in the last chapter.

Order Part Number LT613.

I would say this is a "must have" book for any 64 1/2-66 Mustang owner and/or enthusiast.

65-66 Mustang Window Channels at Rear of Front Door

We have gotten quite a few calls for these parts over the years. These are the complete 65-66 Mustang front door (at rear of door) window channel guides. They are the metal channels that are covered with a felt type of material for the glass to ride in.

They are in stock - Part Numbers IN1091L and IN1091R.

If the metal channel in your Mustang is fine, you may only need the material to cover it with. It is often worn out and needs replacement. The material only is still available as Part Number WS88. This material has a really nice adhesive backing and is fairly easy to replace.

69-70 Mustang Front Fender Splash Shields

Our Splash Shields for the Front Fender area on 65-66 and 67-68 Mustangs have always been extremely popular items. We have also had numerous requests for Splash Shields for the 69-70 Mustang models. In 1969 and 1970 Ford went to plastic splash shields rather than using the old metal ones with rubber as found on the 65-68 Mustangs.

We now have these plastic splash shields available for your 69-70 Mustang. They are sold as a set of 4. Order part number SM851.

Early (and expensive) 1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible

OK - I hesitated before posting this one, but the car is historically significant, and the auction listing is, well, entertaining. I know it will get tons of internet "air play." I decided that I might as well post it here to in case you miss it somewhere else.

If you want to overlook the ridiculous "Buy it Now" price, you may at least enjoy the interesting story and images of the paperwork about this early Mustang. I guess a $5.5 million price on a Mustang is a great way to get some publicity.

Oh, you can click on the pictures or here to go to the EBay Auction and check out the rest of the story.
