New! Mustang Record Player, AM/FM Stereo and MORE!

Mustang 4-in-1 retro music center with Turntable, Radio, USB and Aux input
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

This is definitely one of the coolest items that we have gotten in here in a while. It's a Mustang themed record player to play your old school vinyl, but it's much, much more.

It's a self contained unit with build in speakers, although there are RCA outputs if you would like to hook up others. There is a USB input that allows you to plug in any USB flash drive and play the music that you have on it. We tried it out...it's super easy and works great!

There is, of course, a built in AM/FM stereo too. You can even record your albums to a USB drive.

There is also an auxiliary input to hook up your phone or any other device.

Click here for more information or to order. This makes a super nice gift for any Mustang fan!

New! Mustang Door Hinge Mounting Plates

1965 and 1966 Mustang Door Hinge Mounting Plates
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

We just got in these Mustang door hinge mounting plates for 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. These are the backing plates that mount behind the pillar where the door hinges are mounted. The door hinge mounting bolts screw into these plates. They are often lost or stripped.

Later in 1965 production, a change was made from  3/8 inch mounting bolts to smaller 5/16 inch mounting bolts. These plates feature the 5/16" x 18 size, so you can use that size bolts or you can tap them for the larger 3/8" bolts.

Our part number is IN-1001. Click here for more information or to order.

Of course, we also have a complete selection of door hinges and mounting bolts.

Just the Details...1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang Restoration

1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 restoration. SFM6S033.
www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com

The assembly of our project 1966 Shelby continues to come together. The interior has been installed now except for the door panels. Those will be left off until we drive the car a bit. We will re-check the window adjustment when we see how much wind noise we have around the roof rail area seal weatherstrip.

This Shelby is '66 #33, so it was the very first batch and came with a rear package tray rather than the folddown rear seat that was used in most '66 GT350s. You will also note the the seat upholstery and dash pad are from the 1965 model Mustang, since these first 252 '66 Shelbys started as '65 Mustangs.

We have posted a lot of pictures today. Check them out and be sure to also scroll down and read the comments about the pictures. If you missed our last post, you can check it out by clicking here.

All of the rear interior trim is now installed. The Shelbys with the rear package trays had a metal cover riveted over the interior rear quarter trim panel where the folding rear seat latch would have been originally installed.

The door panels are going to be installed later. We want to drive the car to check for any wind noise. The windows may have to be re-adjusted a bit.

Here's a shot of the LH under dash area showing the fresh air vent, HiPo choke cable, parking brake mechanism, windshield washer motor, heater plenum, etc. It's great to have all of this finally assembled and in the car.

There are actually several variations of the '65-66 Mustang fastback trunk hinge. One of these variations involves the use (or lack of) a bushing where the torsion rod passes through the hinge. You will note that this particular car did not ever use the bushing. The hinges that used the bushing had a larger hole to accommodate a plastic bushing.

NEW! 66 GT350 Shelby Mustang Steel Hood Scoop

In 1965 and 1966 the Shelby Mustangs came equipped with hoods with scoops. Early in '65, the hoods were all fiberglass, then steel framed hoods with fiberglass skins were used. Due to supply problems, many of the '66 Shelbys came with all steel hoods with steel hood scoops.

The steel hood scoop to duplicate this hood is now available. This new stamped steel hood scoop is an exact replica of the original 1966 Shelby scoop. It can be welded or bonded to a steel hood.

We have an original '66 Shelby all steel hood here and compared this scoop to the original. It is very nice!

Our part number is ER-1911 - Click here to order and for more information.
