Greetings:

This web site is devoted to the Mustang Shelby, and Ford Cobra enthusiasts. About 40+ years ago, I bought my first Mustang. It was a 3 speed 289 2bbl, plain Jane car equipped with a radio and heater. Oh  yes, it also had a steering wheel.  As so many young people do, I set about saving money to add options. Added a Shelby intake manifold, 4bbl Holley carburetor and new wheels and tires. The latter being necessary because someone stole my originals. At any rate, 40 + years and about 50-60 Mustangs later, I am still working on Mustangs. I decided to start this web site and publish my notes in hopes that others can benefit from the knowledge.

All information posted to this web site is researched prior to being posted and to the best of my knowledge is accurate.  Most all of the initial pictures are taken at dealers, friends, or classic car lots. Some are of friends cars, a few are submitted.

Because of the tremendous amount of data required to support this undertaking, not all years, body styles and other data will be available from the initial upload. The web site now consists of most years basic information from 1965 - 2000 and has considerable data, data for other years. There is a section on my current restorations that has many, but not enough pictures.  It seems like I forget to take pictures all day long and just get them at the end. 

For information and production information for a particular year car select from the three drop down menus for years.

The drop down mechanical tab contains considerable information about the car parts. I buy and sell cars and parts, so a lot of information comes from these dealings. As a matter of fact, as I research parts to buy or sell, I needed a way to consolidate them and decided to do it here and share the info as well as make it easy to find again.

The miscellaneous menu contains links to tune-up information, axle codes, Mustang clubs, dealers, insurance brokers, performance specifications from various years and sources, general specifications, DSO codes and much more.

The tune up tab contains the tune-up specifications you need if tuning up your car. Because of the large amount of information, tune-up information has been divided into several pages.  I have most of it, but typing it in is a slow process so more pages will come soon.

The TIPS drop down menu will contain schematics, drawings, helpful hints on how to do some things that I found difficult (or an easier way than documented). Templates to lower front ends, interoperability issues an most importantly, things NOT to do.  In other words, some things I did and then said "Oh $#!%". If you download a template, measure the point to point markers.  If you  print a smaller or larger copy than I uploaded, your measurements may be off.  I will have a scale on each page to allow you to check measurements.

Any information you want to provide or discuss can be sent to jeraldwalters@gmail.com. If you have a couple of pictures of your car and want them posted, send them as well.  Please attach a brief note in your email saying that you took the pictures and I have your permission to use them on the Internet.
