Garage419: Full Carbon Fiber Ford GT? Ford SVT Headquarters Tour
Recently, one of my favorite web sites has become Jalopnik.com. I find it an entertaining coverage of cars in general and a good way to unwind at the end of the day. An added bonus is that once in a while a story will include a fox body Mustang....
Personalized license plates
Some time ago, a discussion on personalized plates didn’t quite get off the ground in the forums. Personally, I wanted a personalized plate immediately after I got my feature car. Although, I was a little hesitant to get something too specific to my car. As unlikely as it seems...
On wrecked Triple Whites here and abroad
I received a registration for a 1993 triple white Mustang earlier this month from an email address in the Netherlands. It listed values for State as “other” as well as Country of “other.” I thought it was odd but I have received forms filled out like this in the...
N.Y. Times: No Mortgage Needed for These Beauties
A coworker pointed me to a recent New York Times article on low-cost collectible cars. In the article and related slide show two Mustangs are included: SVOs and Mustangs from the 1990’s. It’s right up our alley as our cars also fit nicely into this niche. N.Y. Times: No...

Carlisle: it’s almost here
It sure came fast and as usual I am rushing to the end in order to get ready. I attended a local show over the past weekend and there was some white dandelion-type stuff floating through the air all day. It made my semi clean interior a mess. I...
Carlisle banner
This year one of the Carlisle policies for having a club tent requires having a banner. Not a bid deal but the problem has been getting the inspiration for a design. I want to do something different but also not too specific as my plan is to hang it...
Added Google charts to the registry
In mid-2006 I did a geographical analysis of where the cars in my registry were located. It consisted of superimposing the counts per state over a map of the U.S. I used increasing size fonts to further emphasize. It was nice but it was a pain in the neck...
My latest creative collaboration
Over the “off season”, I agreed to do the graphics for a car show sign for Marshall. His yellow feature car is pictured in front of a jet in the post I wrote a few months back. Way back a long, long time ago I did my own sign...
1993 Ford Motorsport Nationals in Maple Grove PA – Was Your TWF There?
The large number of triple white feature cars present at the 1993 Ford Motorsport Nationals only recently came to my attention via the comments on a recent post. Ken (cobra2top) was kind enough to capture some of the images from his VHS recording of the event. Ken shared: They...
