Bob Frias new book - order now! Second owner of the Bullitt movie car interviewed by Brad Bowling News about the Schlenker/Bergman notchback racer history 6S2381 on sale for 125.000 Dollar The first of the Continuation Shelby Convertibles is still on sale as of now from Major Brunk himself.  We expect it to be sold by 9th. Feb., ringing the bell for your last chance. Two parties on their way.. Update: Unfortunately our friends Mike and Stéphane could not find in time the necessary sponsors to realize their idea of a paneuropean Shelby meeting in Switzerland in August 2010. The meeting was just cancelled. We feel the pain of the organizing team and wish them luck with the other 2010 events, they are promoting.	No news for a while...too much to do It has been silent for a long time around one of our favourite topic - Holly Clarks adventures around her Dads Ford designer history. But Holly is still engaged to get her second book out. Expect some hidden material in Bob Frias "MUSTANG GENESIS" book (coming out in April 2010 latest) plus major magazines are going to pick up the Mustang history before the Mustang actually appeared on 17th. April 1964 in the public. There is still so much to research and room enough for another book - so let's press at l east 2 thumbs for Holly to get her 2nd script book ready in 2010. The title is perfect, there was a Mustang before the Mustang! Page shot: Motor Trend March 2010 45th Anniversary of the Shelby G.T.350 2010 marks the 45th Anniversary of one of the most famous sports cars worldwide Instead of looking at the 2011 posttitle conversion G.T.350, we rather go back in time to drool around the original with some vintage pics.  Malte Huth won 1st place with his G.T.350 at the Timmelsjoch Hillclimb race in September 1965. The car was reportedly imported through a connection with LLoyd Casssner and an US army general. Yet the VIN has not yet been confirmed nor the later history after 1967. We'd like to reunite this car as well with his previous owner Malte.
The 61st National Roadster Show this weekend (29-31st January)  showcased a few outstanding Mustangs. Well, very few.
8th. January 2010 Bob Tasca Sr. passed away	Bob Tasca started his career at the age of 27 with a dealership in East Providence/Rhode Island and soon became the best known performance maniac in the Ford world. With the Tasca 505 and the later 1968 KR8 as well as the Super Boss he set milestones for performance minded enthusiasts. His famous Bill Lawton piloted drag cars managed to get headlines and draw the audience into his showroom. With his move to become a Shelby mod shop since 2007, the Tasca family sold more than 100 Supersnakes in the recent years and is back on track. Read more on the surviving Tasca 505 exclusive only here
The car before it went to the US as found by Kimbi	A RARE FIND from 2005 is finally back in Europe Back then in 2005 we reported about a Find of an unearthed 1967 GT500 at a wrecking yard that was buried for over 30 years in the piles. Our mystery man "Kimbi" h ere in Germanyfound the car in a separate garage at a wrecking yard owner and after tough negotiating in a friendly atmosphere based on trust and enthusiasm, he could get the car. Being a Chevy man, he decided to let the car go to the US to professional hands for a thorugh restoration.  Current owner B.J. contacted the SAAC one day searching for one more for his collection in Europe and transported it back across the pond, where it belonged. The car is now stored away in Iceland in a climate controlled garage until its next show there. B.J. collectes Shelby and Boss 429s and we had featured his collection already in our club mag. B. finished the restoration with some experts in Europe during the last year..
Ever seen the original   HURST MUSTANG? When the new Hurst Mustang came out this year, I always wondered how the original looked like. Had to browse my archives in depth to come up with this picture. Actually Mr. Hurst himself drove the car and it featured amongst other stylish items... the obvious Hurst shifter, the more visible front grille with driving lights and special wheel rims. We wonder what happened to it. If you have any trace of this car, let us know.
A New Year 2010 - Time to follow up some projects  We asked Dennis Dierking about the status of his 1971 Mach 1 Bond replica	Dennis is indeed close to finishing his 3 years restoration of his Diamond Bond movie car replication.  We updated his page and can see it already almost finished. Stay tuned for his pictures of the car. He has already filled the liquids and started the engine, a few final touches and you'll see it first.
Bob Barkers other Mystery Notchbacks? Jim Langes father bought this car 1977 from Bob Barker and yet has to find all track records and the detailed history of this car. If you have some hints, drops us a line. Read the details of this 1967 A/S Mustang with Shelby bits. Read here
A rare 1972 Sunroof-equipped Mach 1 assembled in Mexico 1 of 4 1973 Mach 1 assembled in Mexico with an electric sunroof. Thomas Vega restored this car and is seeking for further information.
The 1967 Shelby that was planned to start in Le Mans, but did not.... Actually many Mustang Enthusiasts were constantly looking for a picture of a 67 Shelby that started in Le Mans. The headline of this newspaper clip said:"The cars that race in Le Mans", but obviously - after some research on related racing results websites - the car was not entered. According to our swiss friend Reto Wigger from the FNC the licence plate refers to the swiss Kanton Thurgau. Reto found the last known owner meanwhile and we will feature the story soon. Good to have mates everywhere. Check out meanwhile Retos article on the Shelbys, Corvettes and more on their www.fnc.ch website.
Chris Turner was 18 back then. "It happened during a BRDC Club meeting at Silverstone on 28 April 1968. From reports of the accident, the driver, Robin Smith suffered a heart attack while at high speed on the long club straight prior to Woodcote corner. I remember the car continued without any reduction of speed  or attempt to take the corner. As an un-educated guess I think the car hit the earth bank at over 100mph." More later on our related history page	Finally unearthed from Chris Turner Historic pictures of "The End" of DPK6B - the second winning Tour de France 1964 Mustang
The hidden treasures of the SEMA 2009 exhibition There are certainly numerous 2010 Mustang custom and aftermarket performance show cars, but this new Gateway Classic Mustang project caught my attention immediately. For coverage of the SEMA show, see The Mustang News webpage.
Earlybird Ponysite Preview: A new record for Ponysite - a 5 years prediction and putting a bit of pressure on  Ray Mc Caffrey to finish his restoration within this period. This original 66 K-code Export T-5 was raced by Ray while he was stationed in Germany (1964-1967) and returned to the states afterwards. Driven for a while he retired it decades ago. Through my friend Gary Hanson we had been in touch again recently.  So Ray - it's your turn now to finish the car in time.	Original Owner 1966 K-code T-5 will reappear at the 50th Anniversary
It has become common knowledge that some rare cars  - this is a 1 of 29 only - had found their way quite early across the pond or down under. This one indeed changed the SAAC records related to a color ID code of 1901 vs. 1900 and we are proud to have it overseas down here in Monaco with our good ol friend Emmanuel Theux in his collection. We'll feature it together with his other treasures in the next club mag.	The "metal gun" Shelby GT350 that changed the SAAC records
	Some insiders say "Old news", but it hasn't yet been printed in MM and Isham wants to know more about his cars and other early Fastbacks, so we try to support Isham JR of course. This is the first ordered San Jose 65 model build Fastback K-code  and Isham can be proud to have found and restoraed this car in a record time. 5R09K125001.  Check out the Mustang Monthlys blog here.  And then follow our own page and try to piece the story together with us.  More from Isham JR Shelby himself about the details  here   Update: Actually this car is on sale as of December 2009. If you are interested, drop us a line
The MUSTANG GENESIS (45$) A new book from Bob Fria is ready to hit the bookshops in Spring/Summer 2010 We've followed Bobs efforts for years to gather material like original Ford drawings of Mustang prototypes from Ebay for a really considerable sum of money plus more. This is not another Mustang book, this will clarify a lot of the Mustang genesis and is a must for any serious Mustang researcher. You can preoder it here at McFarlands website	Although you will not find this pic of the Alan Mann suspension test prototype in his book, it is clearly one of the early 05C date code stamped prototypes. The 05C does not decipher as the 5th. of March, but identifies the pre-run of Mustangs. Stay tuned for further tidbits of the Mustang Genesis - here on ponysite.de from Bob Fria himself.
RARE FIND 7ATO7GT-XXXXX One of the few Peru assembled 1967 race car, modified by Holman Moodyin 1970 to 1971 T/A specs, acid dipped and raced in Peru by Christobal Galluf.  Now on sale from the Jorge Nicolini collection. Read here
Ever heard of a J.W. Automotive Engineering Mustang? We all know John Wyer had his hands in the european Ford racing, GT40 program, FAV operations and many things more.  It pretty much makes sense that they did something with the Mustang as well, having prepared Cortinas for racing in the US, Cobras over here and of course GT40 cars. Some of them obviously received J.W. Automotive Engineering VIN tags - we assume for easier homologation rules or racing approval issues or maybe just for an exhibition car at the London Race show or a press event?.	The owner of this 1966 Mustang just recently contacted us to find out more about his - maybe - rare Pony. Until then he prefers to stay anonymous, although it was advertised on the web some time ago. Following some hints from insiders we assume the tag was put on the Mustang for either racing or promotion purposes. The car has a typically low and early 66 Ford VIN otherwise, that would indicate it was a special request car for overseas purposes. If you know anything more about the reasons of applying J.W. Automotive Engineering tags or can give us a more concrete hint where to ask, pls. contact the Editor. Meanwhile we found out there must be a J.W. registry list around. Anybody having access to that, pls. contact us.
We'll be updating our 67/68 Trans Am section with more bits on the early Group 2 Shelby notchbacks. - Ongoing research and many mysteries make this a really challenging task -  Phil Jacobs is just opening his photobox for us.
Sorry, we linked owner Jerry first up to an US car mag, but we can tease you with some pics at least.	We'll show you the 1967 Shelby used in the Dukes of Hazzard movie
