I'd like to thank Curt Vogt and anyone else that had a hand in putting on the Vintage Race at Indy. It was a fun event, I only wish there had been a few more participants. The etched glass trophy made it even better.

**** Thanks again Curt for the clutch assistance too!

My question is has anyone applied clear bra over their 69-70 side decals on their Boss 302. It's been implied that one can without any issues, while others comment it can leave a raised bubble where the two materials cross over right along the two edges due to the thickness. Anyone have an experiences either way with clear bra over decals. Thank you for any input.

Noticed these Shelby KR's coming up for auction in less than a week, along with quite a few early Mustangs. If anyone's interested check the attached link.

The first video has a great shot of the front row occupied by three Cobra's, in the second video you see the King Cobra. It's too bad there isn't car audio which would be preferable to the music. Hope this isn't a repost.

Interestingly enough they have a "National Rent A Racer Day", which I assume is meant for Hertz cars.

As you can see we have expanded our event plans, with events focused on specific Mustang years, generations, and models.

The events listed with an * will be limited to 25 vehicles due to current North Carolina state health guidelines,
meaning the first 25 registered guests are assured of being in the event. When the guidelines change, we will be able to increase the number of vehicles able to register.

These events are free to Museum Members, with a $10 charge for non-Members.

We are, however, expanding the event to Mustang enthusiasts unable to attend the event at the Museum, as they can purchase
event decals and apparel to create their own local
National Mustang event.

The apparel will be a two sided print, with the event logo on the left chest, with the Mustang silhouettes of the years or models of the
event on the back.

The larger events, highlighted in bold and italicized, may still be affected by the COVID-19 situation, as we hope to be able to host
more guests than the current limits.

The Spring & Fall Carolina Cruises are free to all enthusiasts.

We wanted to provide the enthusiasts with our event plans so hopefully you can make plans to join us.

Fords on Sunday

In the Charlotte area there is at least one "cars and coffee" event
for every Saturday somewhere.

The abundance of Saturday cars and coffee events affects each of those Saturday morning events attendance.

We are planning on holding our "Fords on Sunday" cruise-in on
Sunday mornings between 1PM-3PM, on the last Sunday of each month.

We realize this not a "normal" time for such an event, but thought
it may give enthusiasts a time to join us.

Lastly, we look forward to reconnecting with the Mustang Hobby
in 2021.

No matter what we may personally feel about this venture I think it's cool and the background story of Bob Riley makes it even better.

Impressive looking car, it really needs a better sales presentation and documentation of it's history.

Not my item, but looks correct. The asking price is crazy, but when was the last time you saw an original, if in fact it is.

I know there are aficionados on SAAC of these early Mercury's, this one is on Bring A Trailer.
