From the archives – Win this car! Part 2

Part 1 of this pair of posts wasn’t really a giveaway of a feature car. It was actually a feature car used in contest promotional materials in order to get your attention. And, that it did. There is at least one contest that was an honest to goodness feature car giveway. It was a contest from KISS...

Carlisle Planning Update

Earlier this week I reserved the tent for our Carlisle meetup. The cost was $175 so, again this year, I will be looking for donations to help defray the cost. When we meet at the show you are welcome to donate. Traditonally, $10-20 per member has worked. No pressure here –...

One of the things that I look for when I see a fox Mustang that’s claimed to be “all stock” and/or “original” is the air silencer. It’s just one of the many little OCD things that plague me. While you’re still able to detect that it is missing, here’s a nice...

Revisiting the “Maple Grove” feature cars

It was back in 2008 when I first learned about a group of triple white feature cars that were displayed at the Ninth Annual Ford Motorsport Nationals held in Maple Grove, PA on June 26 & 27th, 1993. The details of these cars has since been somewhat of a...

This is quite possibly the best deal on feature car parts right now. NOS Ford with Carlite glass for your bright white topped 1993 feature car. It’s on ebay with a BIN of $189 plus $89 shipping. One is listed but the description hints that there are more....

Reproduction VIN labels

Over at the SSP forums, there is a thread on reproduction VIN labels created to gauge the market for such a thing. Ford licensed. About $100 for a set and available for order after the start of 2015. This seems like a good idea for those doing restorations and the like....
