Winter blue for spanish nights cruising  Jordis car features also a hood-lock delete option, seat belt delete option, a Deluxe-Interior. It is an export car as well. Together with a winter blue colour and 7A interior, it is certainly almost unique and an excellent choice of sb. back then with a good taste. |
A truely rare 69 428CJ-R GT Convertible How many exactly were made? We believe that exactly 13 1969 GT R-code convertibles were made Acc. to our calculations, some related Kevin Marti info and contributions of other owners of such rare cars, we currently assume there were 71 R-code convertible (428CJ) 51 Q-code convertible (428SCJ) Anyway I was fortunate enough to meet Jordi Fusté and his wife Pili
downtown Barcelona for a spanish night cruise to the Ramblas. Jordi got his
car just recently out of a 4 years restoration process, which basically
included a frame-off job and the engine carefully diassembled and
re-assembled. The original Winter blue Ford paint was mixed and
professionally applied. Jordis father Jordi (yes, true) did most of the work
in his shop and he had to do a lot, because the car was saved from a french
junkyard, where another car had already been stored on top of this one. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We've mentioned this car in the News here quite over a year
ago announcing actual car show pics. Well, it took Mike Bertola
from the Ponycar Club Switzerland to come to the rescue in sending us
pics from a members car show.

David is calling for the Ponydrive 2005! Pictures courtesy our club member Rainer Staub, who participated in the last years Ponydrive |
We all thought, David would be tired after doing the 2004 Ponydrive for a 6000miles spin around the U.S.. Not so, David is calling his mates again to the Mustang arms. This time there is a special offer from Fords Mustang Brand manager Paul
Russell - a special motivation in getting a 2% below invoice (200 to max. 3000 dollar rebate
for a GT conv.) on a
new Mustang V, maybe even customized in a Ponydrive version with a special
emblem. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My early Mustang music is on the market Funny enough that it takes a german band of my hometown to create a new Mustang music CD package with the launch of the 2005 Mustang. While the sound itself may not be to your all liking on advanced CD-players at home, playing it in the genuine 65-73 Mustang sound systems adds a certain missing vintage atmosphere of the good ol times. Listen to some of their tracks like "Driving Down" or "Miss you" on their homepage www.myearlymustang.de By simply asking I could get a nice poster at a local CD-shop for my Mustang office. See also their gifts in the shop on the a.m. webpage. Editors Note: Did Ford's advertising agency Thompson sleep? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

One of one only! Shelby Europa G.T.250 
|
You probably never heard of this one, but it's no more a mystery, it was real! Only one car was made unfortunately by Claude Dubois, then Shelby Dealer in
Brussels/Belgium. Under licence he was allowed to use the name Shelby on his
products and this one was his favourite car, that he used himself for one year
as a demo car. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As you can guess, it has been really tough not to be able to talk about any of this, as we were under a confidentiality agreement with Ford. As it has been officially shown on the SEMA website, it can be shown and talked about now." John D. Canfield. Update: 27.Oct.2004: Actual pics here at http://www.mrt-direct.com/SEMAbound.htm Update: 10th. November 2004: The MRT car is being taken to the NASCAR final race at Homestead, Florida to be put on display for the Ford Exhibit at the racetrack. We are very proud of this and there are only three other cars that were chosen for this honor. (John D.Canfield) 
Update: December 2004 The building of the MRT at www.weekly-mustang.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While the Mustang 2005 Launch Party was on the 28th. of September, Ford
announced as well officially the expansion of its Race Parts Programm for our
beloved Pony. The variety of racing parts is accomplished by the 5.0 Cammer V-8 crate engine
with 420HP. The white car was the first 2005 Mustang that got the car built
in. The second is the Competition orange coloured 2005 shown at the SEMA 2004. Some official lines out of the press release:

Details of the car for you to remember are on the second news page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

No way, a numeric engine code could be true on a Mustang? But it is true, most VIN decoders do not list the special export engines that were available. Thanks to original Ford documentation, provided by the Ford Export Division, Wixom, Michigan, back then, Debbie from Australia can sleep a bit better, as V8s in a Mustang considerably add to the value down under. In search for verification of her VIN we could also add some paperwork for the original 289/2V low compression engine (code 3) in her 66 export Mustang. Below is a listing of several Ford export engine codes. If you own a truck, we do have the numbers as well upon request.

1968 427 Ford Drag Car or 1 of 10 Holman Moody
conversion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ford could repeat 60ies successfull promotion again with the Ford Custom Car Caravan 2005 (Mustang Custom Challenge). Back in the early 60ies Ford toured the stadiums, city halls, custom shows and youngsters fairs with a special promotion caravan. The Mustang Pegasus was one of the outstanding custom cars aside from the "Mustang Karavan" made by Warren Veurink and Jack Florence from Holland Auto Trim and Fostoria Styling.. Other Mustangs were the orange with Gold Candy side panels "Out of Sight" Mustang built by Roy Johnson, the Zebra Mustang built for Sinatra, a Falcon Competition Coupe built by Holman-Moodie, then the Galaxie Magic Cruiser, Gene Winfield built LTD Executive, The Fairlane GTX A Go-Go plus a Pacifica Pickup and the Strip Star, a Bonneville Coupe powered by a 427 cui. Dean Jeffries and the Alexander brothers worked for Ford as well. This promotion tour was extremely successfull in the youth program accompanied by seminars of the famous race driver Ak Miller and young kids racing on AMT scale modeltracks. A number of special Falcons (Falcon Python, The Franciscan and the Falcon Rancho Deluxe) added to the picture. Aside from the Aftermarket show coming on at the Las Vegas SEMA show, Ford is unfortunately not planning ahead for the mid 2005 Custom Car caravan inviting customizers to think about creative derivations of the Mustang for another "Young owners" relation programm. |
  The original Mustang Pegasus customized by Fostoria Styling/Holland Auto Trim and shown at the Ford Custom car caravan, has been found - exclusive pictures here on my site! Thanks to owner Ramon. |
