looks fantastic. Thanks for posting.
I see a couple of "3-Dog" cars... any info on the others?

Mark,
  Some info on the other cars-

  The #63 1967 Mustang is one of the factory Shelby Group II customer cars originally raced by a guy named Fred Sutherland. It's currently owned and driver by Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Cars.

  The #28 car (Metuchen Special) was an independent car built in 1969 by Dean Gregson (who used to be Tasca Ford's and Harr Ford's High Performance sales guy. Sort of a clandestinely factory  backed car, it was raced both in A/Sedan as well as Trans Am. Now belongs to Brian Ferrin who is based near Sonoma CA. It also runs twin Dominators (as the #15 Parnelli Jones 69 car does), although the hood wasn't open while I was there.

  The #22 Acapulco Blue 68 Mustang hardtop was an original GT with 390 4 speed that Bill Maier bought new and immediately turned into a Trans Am and A/Sedan raced with a 302 (not sure why it didn't race). It wasn't on the entry list so I don't know who owned/entered it.

  The SS Jacobs #16 Bud Moore Boss 302 was a (I believe) Weat Coast car owned by Jim Hague. Not sure if it was a leftover 70 team car or if it was one of the Body-In-White cars built new for 1971. Originally driven by Peter Gregg.

  The #15 69 Bud Moore Boss 302 was actually the first Boss 302 raced, in the Citrus 250 at Daytona in Feb 1969, driven by Parnelli Jones. Owned by another West Coaster, Jeff O'Neill.

  Glad you liked the photos.

Thanks,
Dave

Some photos from the HTA event held at the new Ten Tenths facility last Friday

Virginia Classic Mustang, M140 for the bearing retainer gasket and M141 for the backing plate to axle housing gasket. These work with all of the small bearing axle housings, which all of the 1965-70 (and maybe the 1971-73) Mustangs are. Hope this helps.

The small Stellings and Hellings. See the photos. The paper elements aren't correct, but the screens in the other photos are, I had a bunch made.

That setup carries a 1964 Ford part number (C4OZ-6B068-E), was still offered in the 1966 Shelby American parts catalog as a Cobra branded accessory. Doesn't appear in the 1968 Cobra Kits catalog, although I personally saw one of those manifolds 40 years ago that said SHELBY rather than the normal COBRA. Only one I've ever seen. Hope this helps.

Dave

I only have these ones if you are looking for some other books also.

Kent,
  Sent you a PM.

Thanks,

Hey Phillip,
  I don't recall if there were other Ford/Mercury products in attendance at the last MCA Grand National in Fredericksburg in 2019, but there was a special parking area for display only cars that included a variety of Shelbys and Mustangs, I'd suggest contacting someone in National Capitol Region Mustang Club (the host club) to find out. Steve McDonald is the only person I know personally in NCRMC.

All,
  Mustang Club of Tidewater is holding their spring show (all makes) at Cavalier Ford Greenbrier on South Military Hwy in Chesapeake Va on Saturday, April 12 from 9AM to 3PM. They usually hold space and let the Shelby club park together. We had 26 cars from our gang (Shelbys, Bosses, Mach 1s, Fairlanes, Cobra replicas) in 2024. See details in the below link:

Hey, looks like they've finally opened registration for the MCA Grand National Show in Fredericksburg within the last week or so.
