Ford Mustang Labor Day Stampede - Birmingham Bash



Labor Day Stampede Interview
News crews from local TV stations covered the MCA 30th for their evening news broadcasts. Fox 6 from Birmingham took special interest in the lineup of Special Service Mustangs.		 1966 Shelby Mustang Gt350 Drivers Side View
Not only did Brent Galloway receive Mustang Monthly's Editor's Choice award, he also got to assist photographer Jerry Heasley by holding the light reflector over his recently-restored '66 GT350. Brent's Shelby is shod with N.O.S. Goodyear Blue Dot tires, which are being used by Goodyear for future reproduction.		 Holly Clark Book Signigng
Holly Clark had a great (and shady) spot under the tower for signing copies of her new book, Finding My Father: The Man Behind the Pony Series. Holly's father, Phil Clark, is credited with designing the original Mustang running-horse emblem.
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Drivers Side View
At first glance, Rob Bodle's '69 Mustang looks like a nicely modified fastback, but it's actually an early-production Boss 302 that was originally purchased by former NASCAR driver Johnny Mantz for his son, Rick. The modifications, which included removing the Boss stripes, were done in 1969 at Bill Stroppe's legendary Ford race shop in California. Watch for a feature on this one.		 1973 Ford Mustang Fastback Front View
Russ and Elaine Gilbert's yellow '73 fastback looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.		 Labor Day Stampede Mini Mustangs
These miniature, motorized Mustangs at the American Mustang display were a hit with kids and grownups. Our thanks to American Mustang's Patti Cunningham for the golf cart she loaned us during the show.
Labor Day Stampede Group View
Harrell Downey has a thing for white Mustang musclecars. At the MCA 30th, he displayed four from his collection; a '69 Boss 302, a '70 Boss 302, a '69 Boss 429, and a '681/2 Cobra Jet.		 1966 Ford Fastback Drivers Side View
It's amazing how many Mustang owners are going for the restomod look these days. Michael Russell's red '66 fastback was looking sharp with Boyd Coddington five-spoke wheels.		 Labor Day Stampede Group View
Vortech/Paxton stole the show in the manufacturers' area with its huge tent filled with 12 Vortech- or Paxton-supercharged Mustangs. It was like a show within the show, and since it was covered, it provided relief from the muggy Alabama heat.
Ford Mustang Installing Light Bar
If you had a late-model convertible at the MCA 30th, Classic Design Concepts was on hand to install one of its Classic Light Bars. The CDC crew stayed busy all weekend.		 Shelby Gt350 Front View
John Garrett from Nashville is the proud and lucky owner of the last Shelby GT350 ever built.		 1969 Ford Mustang Gt Front View
Ford built only 6,694 GTs in '69 and even fewer convertibles. Rarely do you see one equipped with the 428 Cobra Jet engine like Shane Fowler's Indian Fire '69 convertible.
