| The
Graphic Designer De Lusi draw this new
Capri 2012 Vision for "Autozeitung"
and it is certainly as close as it can be...following our recent interview
with a higher Marketing rank at Ford Germany.
The base chassis will be the Focus and
Ecoboost engines up to 2,0 liter/203HP will power up the standard range..
There is yet room for another Capri ST and RS with much more HP.
The "downsizing" strategy was
recently tested in marketing interviews with german Mustang IV owners as
well, since there is a limited market for 2+2 sportscars.

A 1968 Shelby at Le Mans
The picture of our club members
Michael Bruns 1968 Shelby on the 2010 Le Mans Classic racetrack leads to
the question, why none was present at the 1968 Le Mans race.
Well there was this one ... driven by
Claude Dubois parked at the pits fence, when he visited 1968 Le Mans. This
is a rare shot that I got from a 67 export Shelby owner in 2003.

Peter Larsson from Sweden owns this
Black shiny 1970
T-5 Fastback - 1 of 173
Peter's brother owns a
number of Mustangs up there in the north and is proud of this one. I think
most of us would like to have such a shiny beast in their garage.
The car was imported from Germany to Sweden already in 1972.
T-5s are
surfacing these days more often.
We just registered another 1 of 71 from 1978, a nice originally
silver Mach1 from M. Schulze, who is still looking for the twin of
his car that the Marti Elite report show in its filtered research.
 |
And another new 1967 T-5 registry entry
7T03A100159
surfaced just now and has a long history. Delivered on 18th. August to a
Ford dealers wife in Germany and already sold in Jan. 1968, it spent 22
years in the second owners hands. After being stored away, it has now been
brought back to the daylight by the 4th owner, who is planning a
restoration.

Taking a lesson in Shelby and Cobra restoration in Europe..
isn't that difficult, if you visit our friend Alan
Faulkner-Stevens in the UK like I do almost on a regular base ...well
every other year.
Having this time 2 original Cobra lightweights in and a Kirkham 427 Cobra
plus a 65 GT350 it was again a pleasure to see the little details one
needs to pay attention to in person and being teached in the correct
procedures - and not cheap - restoration by Alan and his mates.
While being there we talked about the unearthed 1963 Alan Mann Galaxie,
that was known to be around for quite a while by Alans engine man and just
recently picked up when Bill Shepherd was able to buy it through him. The
shell and parts package will be restored on a very high level and being
one of only four H-M 63 Galaxies certainly will get a lot of attention,
when finished and appearing next to Jack Sears so far only surviving other
63 H-M Galaxie. The others were driven by Sir Gawaine Baillie and Alan
Brown, although Roy Pierpoint was mentioned to me once as a driver as well
at a Brands Hatch race.
 |
Since we are with the Galaxies: Jack
Sears drove his Galaxie as a driver in the John Wilment race team first
time in May 1963 at Silverstone, while the second of Sir Gawaine Baillie
arrived much later in the season. Alan Browns as well, when Jack had
already won the championship.
Since Roy Pierpoint was Alans man, the Brands Hatch car was likely the car
that Alan Mann entered later in the swedish round. The Karlskoga
Motorsportklubben (KMK) might certainly come to the rescue for the
Shepherd team to provide pictures as they are looking for those in the
mags...:) By coincidence I visited a special display there during my
holidaysone day and they had several pics of the 60ies race season on the
wall. |

A piece of Mustang History for sale
1964 Tour de France Mustang DPK5B
Although it has never been verified - until
2008 at least - with ex-Alan Mann mechanics, it seems to be the veritable
DPK5B car.
This is our history report since the car caught my interest about 15 years
ago. Jeffry Harris teased me with his research and from there we went
together to check back with Alan Mann himself, John Grant, Brian Lewis,
and more including Alex and David Champion.
http://www.ponysite.de/ljungfeldt_dpk5b.htm
The car actually placed third in its class (!) after the Procter
and Harper car. This
is the Bo Ljungfeldt driven TDF Mustang.

The car as of 2009 acc. to Speedmasters. Asking price is 180.000 Euro,
which is roundabout 235.000 Dollar.
Ex-Alan Mann mechanics can identify

included.

What do we know about the 2014 Mustang?
Once and then we hear the grass growing. Ford
Germany had weeks ago addressed our club and invited a few 2005-2010
Mustang owners for interviews about a new world car. My claim to have
driven a number of them was unfortunately not enough. The
topic was mostly the Mustang, while the Capri 2014 was raised at least for
1/2 an hour. Later on design sketches were shown around. Interviewed
Mustang drivers tell us that the sketches show a 69er rear window
similarity, a 67/68 rear end treatment where the upper lid is pulled more
rearwards and a less edgy appearance overall. |
Less edgy, 69 rear window and the rear decklid
drawn to the back, these will be styling elements for the 2014 acc. to
interviewed test persons. Well, we'll see how sporty it really will be and
for sure 5" may be added here and there for a 2+2, but this rendering
would at least make a good Mustang GR-1 - our Ponysite vision of it. |

Building the ultimate Bullitt movie Replica?
Glen Kalmack from Canada takes it serious,
although he started out as the no. 23 of our US based Bullitt replica, he
is engaged to win the race for the ultimate Bullitt movie car replica.
After a thorough detailing he went the extra mile to build the subframe
fixtures for the camera and lighning holder, now seeking for the typical
Arriflex 35mm camera that was used and more. He plans to tour around
western canadian show circuits together with 68 Charger owner Paul Martin,
owner and equally biased for the details of the Charger movie car. Read

What is a real Rare Find?
Although 453 of 1967 T-5 Hardtops have been built and
most of them been exported, we consider this one to be a Rare Find indeed,
that Christof brough to our attention recently. He owns it since 1991 and
hasn't made a fuzz around it for all that time, until he found, it is time
to register it with our T-5 Registry. Which was a good idea after all
those years. For what reason?
Well we have another Rare Find that we can talk about now and present in
our clubs magazine and that is reason enough for us enthusiasts.
7T01T111421 was an embassy car in its early years and it seems it was very
well preserved with probably just 3 owners. |

From
Chicago News March,22.nf 2010
 |
Donald
Frey, former Bell & Howell chairman
and one of the engineers who helped design the iconic Ford Mustang, died
March 5 of a massive stroke at Evanston Hospital. He was 87.
Mr. Frey, who would later teach at
Northwestern University, had a long career of innovation in industry. He
received the National Medal of Technology from President George H. W.
Bush in 1990.
Mr. Frey was chief engineer and an assistant general manager of the Ford
division when the Mustang was introduced. He worked for the
legendary Lee Iacocca, who took much of the credit for
the car.
"A few of us at Ford were sitting
around one day in the early 1960s and thought it would be a good idea to
produce a small, sporty car that would appeal to a mass market,"
Mr. Frey once told a reporter. "We were a bunch of young guys in
our 30s and early 40s then."
Mr. Frey and his cohorts had a hard time
selling Henry Ford II on the idea. "The company was just getting
over the Edsel flop and really didn't want to gamble on another new
model," Mr. Frey said. So development funds for the Mustang were
taken from excess money buried in the budget.
Years later, Mr. Frey said that it had taken five tries to
persuade Mr. Ford to go along with the project. "On the fifth
try, he said to me, 'I'm going to approve your Mustang, and it's your
ass if it doesn't sell.' "
Sell it did, of course. Instead of an
estimated 86,000 that first year, 400,000 cars were sold. The
Mustang is still in production today.
Mr. Frey was born in St. Louis and earned his doctorate in metallurgical
engineering at the University of Michigan, where he had also earned his
bachelor's and master's degrees.
After he left Ford in 1968, he was president and chief operating
officer of General Cable Co. in New York.
Later, as CEO of Chicago-based manufacturer Bell & Howell Co., he
helped engineer the first CD-ROM. He also became a key player
in getting Hollywood to release its films on videotape, thus creating the
home-video entertainment industry.
Through his position on the board of 20th Century Fox, he secured
permission for Bell & Howell to duplicate five movies onto
videotape from the film masters, according to Innovation magazine.
Mr. Frey retired from Bell & Howell in 1988 and went on to teach at
Northwestern. "I don't care if you're building chairs,
automobiles or schools," he told students — the most important
part of business is knowing your audience, according to Innovation's
1997 profile.
Mr. Frey was married to longtime Chicago society columnist Mary
Cameron Frey from 1971 to 1989. His survivors include five
children and a number of grandchildren.

The Test car: PTWA based repair Nano-coating SUNA-6-3in a 66 Mustang cast
iron engine
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Unfortunately this site will run
over a few bumps from 1.st April on. Reason is that the early
freenet-homepage.de/pony based stuff will be not serviced anymore by the
provider.
Having started as an amateur in web things the structure of this site has
grown around the free website later I moved newer stuff to the paid
website ..linking back various pages (I guess around 800) to the old 500
pages. The link structure had become a nightmare, but I hope to get
it all sorted out soon enough. Bear with me, you probably will find a
bigger number of broken links. If you had bookmarked a special site like
the Sidewinders etc., look for it with the same file name and .htm ending
in http://www.ponysite.de/pony/....

PTWA
Repair Coating for Ford Small blocks soon available?
Some of you may have followed the Ford news in
February about the innovative 2011 Shelby G.T.500 alum block treated with
the PTWA coating process, developed by Ford Aachen R&D centre/Germany
with Honsel and Spray-Flame Industries. Actually the 2011 G.T.500 engine
block is produced over here in Germany now from Honsel in Meschede..
Many overlooked in the February 2010 PR news the words about the cast iron
engines that were tested. Well it helped our club to be well-known in the
Ford inhouse magazine in Germany, so we got a mail from INSIDE the R&D
that there will be more news around repair-PTWA-coatings of cast iron
engines. A Caterpillar project is another that
turned out of a "Nano-Mobil"-R&D project sponsored by the
german BMBF with 11 million Euro. The Mustang engine project is carrried
out with help from a former Q-Manager at the Ford Cologne engine factory,
that produced the Mustang V6-engine for years.
It is a 66 289 Mustang engine. While we don't think the repair
coating might be necessary for the average Joes daily driver depending on
the final pricing, serious racers and Boss runners may keep their antennas
tuned to Ponysite and the FMCOG publications for further updates from
INSIDE Ford.

Expect some unseen material in Robert A.
Frias "MUSTANG GENESIS" book (coming out finally in August
2010) plus major magazines are going to pick up the Mustang history
before the Mustang actually appeared on 17th. April 1964 in the public.
.
Update 2011: Frankly after getting my copy, I
was a bit disappointed about the content. But anyway it remains a nice
reading and we know how hard the copyright and research is. If not we, who
else?
|
Robert
A. Fria speaks out about his new book - here on Ponysite.de!
"Mustang Genesis is a thoroughly
researched historical review about the creation of the concept that
produced the new Ford Mustang in 1964. It took 6 years to research and
produce. Complete with about 130 photos, it includes an introduction by
Lee Iacocca, with cover art revealing the first ever publically seen
original Gale Halderman rendering of the concept new Mustang. Much of
the research included interviews with the original members of the
Mustang concept team and chapters are inter-woven to reveal how the
concept began and was carried through to the first days of
production.
Samples of new information revealed include:
how the prototype two-seat Mustang, Mustang II and the production
Mustang actually got their names and emblems, not what you think. How
the new production Mustang design was approved for manufacture before
the two-seat Mustang was ever shown in public for the first time. And a
revelation about the only known-to-exist actual prototype production
Mustang still in existance today. Also how we will probably never know
the true identity of the first Mustang actually built on March 9th,
1964. Detailed background biographys on each of the original Fairlane
Committee members and where they are today is revealed.
If you have an interest in knowing the full
and complete history of the origin of the Ford Mustang, you'll have to
read the book. Licensed by Ford Motor Co., MUSTANG GENESIS
is the first thorough research published on how one of the 10 best
cars of the last century came in to being the first Pony Car."

Malte
Huth won 1st place with his G.T.350 at the Timmelsjoch Hillclimb race in
September 1965. The car was reportedly imported through a connection with
LLoyd Cassner and an US army general. Yet the VIN has not yet been
confirmed nor the later history after 1967. We'd like to reunite this car

Bob Tasca Sr. passed away |
Bob Tasca started his career at the age of 27
with a dealership in East Providence/Rhode Island and soon became the best
known performance maniac in the Ford world. With the Tasca 505 and the
later 1968 KR8 as well as the Super Boss he set milestones for performance
minded enthusiasts. His famous Bill Lawton piloted drag cars managed to
get headlines and draw the audience into his showroom. With his move to
become a Shelby mod shop since 2007, the Tasca family sold more than 100
Supersnakes in the recent years and is back on track.

The car before it went to the US as found by Kimbi |
A
RARE FIND from 2005 is finally back in Europe
Back then in 2005 we reported about a Rare Find of
an unearthed 1967 GT500 at a wrecking yard that was buried for over 30
years in the piles. Our mystery man "Kimbi" h ere in
Germanyfound the car in a separate garage at a wrecking yard owner and
after tough negotiating in a friendly atmosphere based on trust and
enthusiasm, he could get the car. Being a Chevy man, he decided to let the
car go to the US to professional hands for a thorugh restoration.
Current owner B.J. contacted the SAAC one day searching for one more for
his collection in Europe and transported it back across the pond, where it
belonged. The car is now stored away in Iceland in a climate controlled
garage until its next show there. B.J. collects Shelby and Boss 429s and
we had featured his collection already in our club mag. B. finished the
restoration with some experts in Europe during the last year..

seen the original
HURST MUSTANG?
When the new Hurst Mustang came out

my archives in depth to come up with this picture. Actually Mr. Hurst
himself drove the car and it featured amongst other stylish items... the
obvious Hurst shifter, the more visible front grille with driving lights
and special wheel rims. We wonder what happened to it. If you have any

The
1967 Shelby that was planned to start in Le Mans, but did not....
Actually many Mustang Enthusiasts
were constantly looking for a picture of a 67 Shelby that started in Le

Le Mans", but obviously - after some research on related racing
results websites - the car was not entered. According to our swiss friend
Reto Wigger from the FNC the licence plate refers to the swiss Kanton
Thurgau. Reto found the last known owner meanwhile and we will feature the

Chris
Turner was 18 back then.
"It happened during a BRDC Club meeting at Silverstone on 28 April
1968. From reports of the accident, the driver, Robin Smith suffered
a heart attack while at high speed on the long club straight prior to
Woodcote corner. I remember the car continued without any reduction
of speed or attempt to take the corner. As an un-educated guess
I think the car hit the earth bank at over 100mph." More later on our

The
MUSTANG GENESIS (45$)
A new book from Bob Fria is ready to hit the bookshops in August 2010
We've followed Bobs efforts for
years to gather material like original Ford drawings of Mustang prototypes
from Ebay for a really considerable sum of money plus more. This is not
another Mustang book, this will clarify a lot of the Mustang genesis and
is a must for any serious Mustang researcher.
You can preorder it here at McFarlands
website |
Although you will not find this pic of the Alan Mann suspension test
prototype in his book, it is clearly one of the early 05C date code
stamped prototypes. The 05C does not decipher as the 5th. of March, but
identifies the pre-run of Mustangs before the serial production. Stay
tuned for further bits of the Mustang Genesis - here on ponysite.de from

Ever
heard of a J.W. Automotive Engineering Mustang?
We all know John Wyer had his hands in the european Ford racing, GT40
program, FAV operations and many things more.
It pretty much makes sense that
they did something with the Mustang as well, having prepared Cortinas for
racing in the US, Cobras over here and of course GT40 cars. Some of them
obviously received J.W. Automotive Engineering VIN tags - we assume for
easier homologation rules or racing approval issues or maybe just for an
exhibition car at the London Race show or a press event?.
|
 |
The owner of this 1966 Mustang just
recently contacted us to find out more about his - maybe - rare
Pony. Until then he prefers to stay anonymous, although it was
advertised on the web some time ago.
Following some hints from insiders we assume the tag was put on the
Mustang for either racing or promotion purposes. The car has a
typically low and early 66 Ford VIN otherwise, that would indicate
it was a special request car for overseas purposes.
If you know anything more about the reasons of applying J.W.
Automotive Engineering tags or can give us a more concrete hint
where to ask, pls. contact the Editor.
Meanwhile we found out there must be a J.W. registry list around.
Anybody having access to that, pls. contact us.
