We started this Blog to share pictures, show new parts, and just talk about 64 1/2-73 Mustangs. We love to feature Customer Cars also. If you would like to see your Classic Mustang right here on our Blog, send us an email by clicking here to find out how!!
We have been selling Classic Mustang Parts for 30 years, and we are always pleased that so many new parts continue to become available for these cool cars! As the level of the quality of restorations continue to rise, more and more little detail items come out.
Here is one of those items. It is the little speedometer cable retaining clip that fits on the firewall of 67-70 Mustangs equipped with a Four Spd. transmission. It is an exact copy made from the original Ford blue prints. Our part number is IN-8922.
Here is a little, but much needed, part that we just got in. It is the 69-70 Mustang Air Vent Inlet Gasket Set that go behind the kick panel and seal between the vent and the body. Our part number is IN-5554, and they are sold as a pair.
We used to sell a lot of these Emergency Brake Cable Springs for the Mustangs, but they have not been available for quite some time. We still get quite a few calls for them, and we are proud to announce that they are available again!
These Mustang Parking Brake Lever Return Springs return the pedal back to the non park position. Originals are often rusty and break. These are made from the original Ford blue prints to the exact original specifications. Finished in black to prevent rusting.
In our last post, we wrote about and shared a video of the NE Regional Shelby American Automobile Club meet that was held in Hershey, PA. Today, we have a few pictures from the event.

Lots of cool cars in the parking lot.
The show at the AACA Museum was really well attended!

This '67 GT350 with a Paxton Supercharger was just gorgeous!
The AACA Museum in Hershey, PA is certainly nice. If you are ever in the area, be sure to visit.
This past weekend, we attended the SAAC (Shelby American Automobile Club) Northeast Regional Meet. This was the first meet of its kind, and everyone involved with the planning and management of this event just did a fantastic job! There were many favorable comments as everyone seemed to really enjoy the activities.
Speaking of activities, we had a full slate from the time we arrived on Friday afternoon until we packed up and left on Sunday afternoon.
Our video below gives just a quick overview of the entire event. There was a super Friday evening "social" from 7:00 PM until around 10:00 PM. There were various tables set up, and we were one of the participants that displayed a few items. It was just a lot of fun and "car talk."
On Saturday morning, the same room was set up with a great breakfast buffet. After breakfast, we headed to the parking lot for a 120 mile road tour with about 60 cars. It was great to see that the majority of cars consisted of the more vintage variety, rather than a ton of late model Mustangs and Shelbys. We had at least one of each year Shelby Mustang represented along with other cool cars including a Tiger, a Ford GT, and a Boss 302.
The tour ended at the Bill Collins' Collector Fords. Wow! Bill just went out of his way to share his shop, let us look at some cool parts and cars, and provide us with an incredible lunch! Everyone has been raving about Bill's hospitality.
A banquet was held Saturday evening with more great food, entertaining speakers, and both old and new friends.
Everyone headed to the AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) Museum on Sunday morning for the popular vote car show. The show was also well organized and well attended. There were eight 1965 GT350 Mustangs in attendance!!! There were even more '66 models. To see that many '65's and '66's at one place was just really cool! There were many, many other great cars too including a 427 SC Cobra and a super nice 289.
Everyone that I have spoken to, including me, hopes this becomes an annual event. If you missed it this year, make sure that you do not miss it next year.
We just have a quick post today about another new part.
These are the 1967-73 Mustang Lower Suspension Ball Joint Seal Retainer and Gasket. These parts are for use when rebuilding the lower control arms for concourse detailing or when replacing the ball joint seal. These are the two parts that always need to be replaced. Exact reproduction of the original with zinc plating on the retainer.
We just got in a new set of hoses that a lot of 66 GT350 owners have been asking for. Our part number is EG-4771.
A special experiment began for the 1966 model year at Ford Motor Company. A test was underway to determine if a new assembly line method would help speed up production. This test, at the Dearborn and San Jose assembly plants consisted of attaching clamps to the radiator hoses to save the assemblers time. Note the "Pat Pend" stamp on the hoses. Virtually all mid to late production Shelby GT350s should have this style of hose, along with most other 289 Mustangs.
These radiator hoses are made by an original OEM manufacturer to the latest SAE standards. They feature correct bends. The hoses have the original double-wire clamps stapled to the hose with the correct orientation as was done on original assembly line hoses. These are the only hoses with this feature. The logo and part number stamped on the hose are the correct ones. The part numbers and logo are printed with the correct font size and style to match the originals exactly. Do not clean hoses with Armor-All or other products that contain solvent. We recommend cleaning by using a very dilute soapy water solution on a damp cloth with very light pressure.
