 The Silver Springs mansion...  The Silver Springs mansion porch is always reserved for a special theme display. This year it was Shelby GT500 and included a new GT500KR from a local Ford dealership and a red '68 GT500KR from the National Parts Depot collection.  You know you have a special...  You know you have a special Mustang when it has been touched by Shelby, Holman-Moody, and Jack Roush. David Pollard's '65 fastback was built by Holman-Moody in the '60s to compete in a NASCAR Trans-Am-style series. Shelby supplied the R-model parts, while the 351W engine carries a dual side-mount Holley induction system that was designed and originally installed by Jack Roush.  During last year's Sunday...  During last year's Sunday afternoon downpour, David Garton's '68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang received the Mustang Monthly Editor's Choice award.

This year's manufacturer display included representatives from Eaton Detroit Springs, TMI, Heacock Classic Insurance, Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation, and National Parts Depot.

Recently restored in white with red LeMans stripes, the car is a stunner with the SVT Cobra brakes and late-model Mustang wheels that were installed for the "How to Install Cobra Brakes" article in our Jan. '09 issue.  Tom Tate surprised his mother-in-law...  Tom Tate surprised his mother-in-law by recently finding and purchasing this '67 Dusk Rose hardtop-the same car she bought brand new in 1967. Tom displayed the car at Silver Springs with a number of vintage photos of the car, taken by his in-laws in the '60s.  The view from the mansion...  The view from the mansion porch was spectacular with Mustangs and Fords stretching all the way to the Silver River.  These Mustangs from different...  These Mustangs from different eras were red and ready for the cruise to Cedar Key.  Cedar Key police closed down...  Cedar Key police closed down major intersections for the Pony Trails, which made for a smooth entrance into the quaint fishing village.
