Bobby Rahal's 1965 GT350 Shelby

Don Hoevel and his crew did a great job on this '65 GT350. We were happy to have been chosen as one of the major parts suppliers for the restoration. We are looking forward to seeing this car at the 39th annual Shelby American Automobile Club - SAAC convention in May at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI.

Check out the Mustang Monthly article on this 1965 GT350:

That post prompted another customer to send in pictures from his collection...and what a collection of Mustangs and Shelbys! Wow! Yes, these cars are all from one collection! Thanks for sending the pictures, John!

Check out this Mustang Collection from one of our Customers!

Mustang Collection from Virginia Classic Mustang customer.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

Here at Virginia Classic Mustang, we love it when our customer share pictures of their Mustangs. Usually, we get a picture or two of a Mustang that a customer has been working on for years. How about this, though!? Here are some pictures of one customer's collection of Mustangs!

We will let him tell the story:

Thought I would share a few photos of my Mustang collection. I currently own all the Mustangs in the photos with the exception of the 69 Boss that I foolishly let go in the mid seventies. ( don’t we all have stories about the one that got away).

The cars are a 64 1/2 convertible that I purchased 19 years ago ( I am the third owner).

The next car is a 1965 HiPo coupe that I bought 36 years ago and took 32 years to restore ( I am the second owner of this California car).

The third car is a 1966 fastback drag car that I recently purchased.(not sure of how many owners before me but this car has been a drag vehicle since new.

The last car is a 1977 Cobra II that my wife encouraged me to get as a birthday present in October 1976. This car is 90% original and is still a head turner ( I know that this is not one of the cars you support but I thought you might like to see a mid seventies survivor).

Each car has an interesting history and I have had fun owning each of them. I have been a Mustang owner for over 45 years, that would have been longer but Uncle Sam intervened and spoiled my first purchase of a new 1965 HiPo coupe. The day my car was delivered to the dealership,I received my draft notice and had to refuse the car. The blue coupe was purchased to replace one of the ones that got away.

have been a long time VA Mustang customer and many of the parts used in these cars came from you. I really appreciated the variety and quality of the parts that you carry and have been proud to show these cars with your equipment. Keep up the good work.
