CVMC Condolences! On March 27, 2005, CVMC lost a long time member and a really great guy. His name was Alan Brough.
Many of you may remember him as a quiet guy with a mustache who always had a Mustang hat on and a smile on his face. He also loved his pipe. Alan was a member of CVMC for 20 years.
CVMC extends our deepest condolences to Alan’s wife, Kay Brough and the Brough family. We will miss Alan very much.

Virginia MCA License Plate! The Roanoke Valley Mustang Club (RVMC) was able to get a Special License Plate passed in the Virginia General Assembly using the MCA Logo. The following is what was sent to me…
Great news!! The Virginia General Assembly has approved the MCA plate. The plate will have the Mustang Club of America logo and will say Mustang Club of America. It will probably look similar in layout to the Harley Owners Group plate; check the link below to see what it looks like.
http://www.dmv.state.va.us/exec/vehicle/splates/info.asp?idnm=HOG
You DO NOT have to be an MCA national member to participate in the plate (though, MCA membership is encouraged by our club). We now must have 350 pre-paid orders within 180 days (6 months) before the plates can be made. If we are unable to reach the 350 plates required, you will get your check back! Roanoke Valley Mustang Club as the sponsor must submit all forms throughout the state. We are limited to 6 characters for specialty plates. Please check out the Virginia DMV website below to see which 6-character combinations that you are interested in are available if you do not have already 6 characters or less. You can check your combos using any specialized plate. The website will tell you if that combo is available or not. You can request up to three choices. Keep in mind it will be no problem to update your current vanity plate if you have 6 characters or less. You also do not need to personalize it, and can order just a standard MCA plate with a number on it.

News From The Blue Oval
GT500 REBORN AS
A MODERN THOROUGHBRED: SHELBY, SVT CREATE MOST POWERFUL
MUSTANG EVER
"Mustang Dream Team" of Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT develop a worthy successor to the legendary Shelby GT500 of the late 1960’s Shelby Cobra GT500 has modern performance credentials: 450-plus-hp, supercharged V-8, 6-speed manual transmission, SVT-tuned suspension, SVT functional features with Shelby design flare - LeMans racing stripes, aerodynamic enhancements and 19-inch wheels with cross-drilled brake rotors The driving zone - red leather seat and door trim, titanium-faced gauges.
The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history
takes to the street next year, following a unique collaboration between
performance car legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT).
Ford
took the wraps off the 450-plus-horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 show car at
the New York International Auto Show March 23. Designed in the unmistakable
image of Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra GT500 melds SVT's
modern engineering with the big-block performance that made the original GT500 the
king of the road.
"The all-new 2005 Ford Mustang is one of the
hottest cars in many years,"
says Phil Martens, Ford group vice president, Product Creation. "Its
chassis was engineered from the beginning to be the basis of a
high-performance, world-class sports car from SVT, and the Shelby Cobra GT500
is it."
Carroll Shelby lends his support to SVT, adapting his earlier role as
a senior advisor on the "Dream Team" that was assembled to develop
and build the 2005 Ford GT. "I've worked with the SVT guys for several
years now, and I know they have the guts, the talent and the passion to deliver
the best performance Mustangs ever," says Shelby.
A production version of the GT500 will go on sale in 2006,
continuing the
high-performance lineage of the SVT Mustang Cobra model line. It will be
followed by a steady stream of performance products developed by SVT,
including Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin, the industry's first performance
sport-utility truck, in 2007.
"SVT led the modern-day factory
performance trend with the Mustang Cobra and the industry's first
high-performance truck, the F-150 Lightning," says Hau Thai-Tang,
director, Ford Advanced Product Creation and SVT. "Today, we're building
on that pioneering vision with vehicles like the Ford GT,
Shelby Cobra GT500 and Sport Trac Adrenalin - great performance machines
that connect with enthusiasts in a way no other companies or vehicles can
match."
The production GT500 will be the first in a string of specialty
Mustangs that SVT will help deliver. This will create Ford Motor Company's -
and one of the industry's - broadest product portfolios, stretching from under
$20,000 for the V-6 Mustang coupe to the 450-plus-horsepower GT500, each offering
performance and value.
The GT500 and the production-intent Sport Trac Adrenalin teaser
accelerate the wave of momentum at SVT since the launch of the 2005 Ford GT
supercar. SVT also now will develop non-SVT branded Ford Division performance
vehicles - including heritage-based performance Mustangs in the spirit of
the 2001 Bullitt GT and 2003 Mach 1 - as it becomes more directly integrated
into Ford's mainstream product development process.
Shelby Cobra GT500's supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 produces over
450-plus horsepower
Just as the original Shelby GT500 was the "step up" to big-block
power from the GT350, the new Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 steps up to Ford's
5.4-liter "MOD" V-8. The result? The GT500 is the most powerful
factory Mustang ever.
Its supercharged 5.4-liter, 32-valve V-8 evolves from SVT's experience with
supercharging the "MOD" engine to deliver more than 450 horsepower
and 450 foot-pounds of torque.
The cast-iron-block, four-valve engine is force-fed an
air-and-fuel mixture via a screw-type supercharger at 8.5 pounds per square
inch of boost.
Aluminum cylinder heads, piston rings and bearings sourced from the Ford GT
program bring a high level of proven durability to the drive train, while
upgraded cooling components promise longevity. "Powered by SVT"
camshaft
covers are the finishing touch to the engine.
"This version of the 5.4-liter V-8 has a higher horsepower
rating than any
other factory Mustang in history," says Jay O'Connell, SVT chief vehicle
engineer. "It really delivers on the essence of two great names in Ford
performance - a mix of SVT's modern-day experience with supercharging and
the Shelby GT500's heritage of big-block power."
The engine has been further tuned from its first application in a
Mustang,
the 2000 SVT Mustang Cobra R, a limited edition model of 300 units.
Helping to put the power of the GT500's supercharged V-8 to the
pavement is a T-56 six-speed manual gearbox. The evenly spaced gears mean less
stirring is needed to find the "sweet spot" in keeping the revs
"on cam" for power to pass, while at the same time making the most of
the engine's broad
torque curve. The heavy-duty transmission has proven itself a willing
companion to V-8 power in Mustangs in both road and track environments,
including the 2000 SVT Mustang Cobra R, 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra and the new
race-winning Ford Racing Mustang FR500C.
Great power requires great control
the great Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s were anything but one-trick ponies. They
earned their stripes on twisty roads and racetracks across America and Europe. The Shelby Cobra GT500 show car continues that legacy of all-around performance.
The GT500 starts with the solid 2005 Mustang underpinnings. The all-new
Mustang's platform was designed from the beginning
with performance derivatives in mind, providing an exceptionally rigid,
well-engineered
starting point for SVT chassis engineers.
Using real-world experience gained during more than 12 years
of building
great-handling SVT Mustang Cobras, SVT engineers retune and upgrade key chassis
components. Improvements such as revised shocks, spring rates and upgraded
stabilizer bars help the GT500 stop and turn with the same authority as it
goes.
The GT500 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension
with
"Reverse L" lower control arms, and a solid-axle, three-link rear
suspension with coil springs and a Panhard rod for precise control of the rear
axle.
Ford Racing has validated this rear suspension design on the track. The
race-prepared Ford Racing Mustang FR500C was purpose-built from the base 2005
Mustang body structure and suspension geometry to run in the Grand-Am Cup
series, a class of road racing for production-based cars. Competing against the
best from Germany and Japan, a Mustang FR500C competed in and won its first
ever race in the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway in February
2005.
"SVT and Ford Racing will be working closer than ever as we go
forward on future projects, especially Mustangs," says Thai-Tang, a Ford
Racing alumnus who served as the race engineer for the Newman-Haas Racing team
in 1993. "The Mustang FR500C racing program is an exact demonstration of
the capability we engineered into the mainstream Mustang to be capable of. Now,
we have both a Daytona victory and the return of the Shelby Cobra GT500 to
showcase Mustang performance possibilities."
To match this power and handling ability,
SVT fitted some of the biggest
brakes in the business to the GT500. Fourteen-inch cross-drilled Brembo
rotors up front and 13-inch discs in the rear continue SVT's legacy of
great-braking Mustangs. 19-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance tires
provide secure footing.
The snake is back - Legendary looks with SVT function The Shelby Cobra
GT500 combines the dramatic design genes of the all-new Mustang with Carroll
Shelby's legendary performance image to create an SVT Mustang that broadens the
power brand's design approach and appeal.
"The restrained, performance-oriented SVT design theme has
become instantly recognizable to enthusiasts without brash styling cues,"
says Doug Gaffka, design director, Ford SVT vehicles. "The GT500 takes a
huge leap forward by combining the modern Mustang muscle car with the classic Shelby performance look to expand SVT's reach to a much bigger audience."
The 2005 Mustang design team drew
inspiration from classic 1968 Mustangs, the models that transformed the
mild-mannered pony car into a muscle car with attitude. Envisioning an SVT
model, the team tested GT500 design cues on the Mustang GT coupe concept that
was unveiled at the 2003 North
American International Auto Show. In 2004, designers further developed the
GT500 look on the Mustang GT-R, a race-bred concept with the dual purpose
of foreshadowing SVT's Mustang design direction and Ford Racing's plans to
return Mustang to road racing.
The GT500 now comes into full light, punctuated by the classic Le
Mans-style white stripes that race along the top of the show car's "SVT
Red" paint from nose to tail. The stripes recall the Shelby Mustangs that
marked another important 1960's Mustang transition when Ford put it on the
track to becoming a racing legend. The GT500 nomenclature is prominent in the
lower body side racing stripe, another cue from the classic Shelby Mustangs.
"The new Mustang has classic design cues from some
of the best-looking
Mustangs of all-time, including the Shelby’s," says Keith Rogman, Ford
senior designer. "The design of the GT500 has been at the forefront of our
minds since the outset of the entire Mustang program."
The Shelby design elements alone are enough to tell the GT500 story
but are not the only visual cues that set this Mustang apart. The reworked
front fascia features a functional air splitter and the unique hood has
heat-extraction ducts, combining to provide improved airflow and
aerodynamics. Revised headlamp insets offer a more aggressive look and result
in symmetrical upper and lower grilles with large air openings, creating a
visual connection to vintage Shelby Mustangs.
The unique rear fascia features strakes inspired by the Ford GT's
integrated rear airflow diffuser, and a rear spoiler reminiscent of a classic
GT500. To mark the collaboration of two Mustangs performance icons, the GT500
features Shelby and SVT badging.
Continuing the snake logo tradition of past-generation
SVT Mustang Cobras,
as well as late-model Shelby Mustangs, the fenders each feature an updated
design of the Cobra. For the first time on any SVT Mustang, the front grille
features an off-center snake in place of the standard running horse.
"GT500" is emblazoned inside the side rocker stripes, and the name
"SHELBY" is prominently featured across the rear deck. The SVT logo
can be seen on the wheel center caps, a signature SVT location, as well as on
the doorsill plates. To top if off, the "gas cap" medallion between
the taillights reads
"Shelby GT500" centered on the Cobra image.
The
interior is completely wrapped in ebony black leather, including the top of the
dash, door panels and center armrest. Also wrapped in ebony leather are the
shift lever, shift boot and parking-brake handle. SVT Red
leather seating surfaces and door panel inserts provide a marked contrast
to the rest of the leather-trimmed cabin, surrounding the performance
enthusiast with luxury and comfort. Snake logos embroidered into the seat backs
finish the package.
"We've taken leather design trends to
a new level by using it on almost every exposed surface in the GT500,"
says Rogman. "Leather has long been a performance fashion accessory for
enthusiasts, from jackets to racing
gloves, so it perfectly matches all the other driving oriented cues."
The Shelby GT500 script and Cobra image are repeated on the steering
wheel
cap. Behind the wheel are titanium-faced gauges swapped in location so that the
tachometer is dominant visually for the driver. The chrome accessories inside
the cabin have been replaced with a satin aluminum finish, including the
aluminum shift lever knob that is nicely positioned for quick, positive shifts
of the six-speed transmission.
SVT and Shelby: The Legends Grow
With the look and legend one would expect from Carroll Shelby and the kind
of power and performance enthusiasts have come to expect from SVT, the GT500
show car points to a brand new era in Ford Motor Company's performance future.
"Carroll Shelby is truly a living
automotive legend, a Ford performance
legend," says Martens. "It's a dream come true to be able to put the Shelby name on a Mustang again."
Carroll Shelby first put his name on a Mustang back in 1964 when he
was asked to inject some high performance into the brand-new pony car. The
result was the GT-350R, a lightweight, handling-focused racecar that earned the
Mustang its first performance credentials. Subsequent Shelby Mustangs included
a street version of the racecar, the GT-350, and what was known as the "rent-a-racer"
Mustang, the GT-350H, a joint project with the Hertz rental car corporation.
The ultimate Shelby Mustang of the era was the GT-500KR,
or "King of the Road." Powered by a big block 428-cubic inch
"Cobra Jet" V-8, the GT-500
was one of the most powerful, and memorable, muscle cars of that period.
Shelby Mustang production ceased in 1970 with a total volume of 14,559
units.
The Ford Special Vehicle Team brought performance back to Mustang in
1993. After 12 years and with nearly 80,000 high-performance Mustangs on the
streets, and a total SVT vehicle production nearing 145,000 vehicles, SVT
is primed for growth with the GT500 serving as the foundation for other
performance Mustang projects.
By bringing together Carroll Shelby and Ford SVT, the company's
commitment
to performance becomes as powerful as at any time in its history - including
the famed "Total Performance" days of the 1960s. From the Ford GT
super car, the GT500, to a rejuvenated Ford Racing Performance Parts program -
performance and racing adds luster to its proud brand heritage.
"SVT has been and will remain the leader in
performance vehicle engineering
and marketing," says Martens. "SVT remains unique in offering the
total
performance experience. The return of Carroll Shelby to our performance family
only strengthens our firepower."

News From The CCCCVa
By Fred Fann
The big news is that gasoline prices are hitting record highs plus prices are expected to continue to climb higher as the weather warms. Instead of doing something to lower gas prices and help the economy the Senate has approved drilling in the Artic Wildlife Refuge. I assume this is their way of “doing” something about gas prices while not really doing anything at all but covering their political backsides. It is too bad our Congress is more interested in appearances and politics instead of taking action to actually solve serious problems.
Even if drilling began today in the artic it would take 7 to 10 years before that gas hits the pumps. And the estimated amount of crude oil in the Artic Refuge is less than what this country uses in one year. Plus no oil companies really want to drill in the artic. It would be very expensive and troublesome. The number one reason not to invest in drilling there is that the oil companies don’t have to do so. They are already making record profits so why spend money to find more oil and therefore lower the price of crude, which would lead to lower profits? The oil companies don’t have to do much of anything to continue to make a ton of money.
The real reason gasoline prices are climbing is the price of crude is at record levels. Some members of OPEC would like to increase production but even doing that wouldn’t lower prices very much. Unless something big happens we can look forward to $2+ a gallon gasoline for a long time. We’ll adjust to it just like we adjusted to $1 a gallon gasoline. I can remember when gas was less than a quarter a gallon. Prices have gone up over 800% in about 30 years.
They are finally starting to “get it”. The EPA has issued stricter rules aimed at reducing smog and soot - and they are aimed at power plants. Apparently they have figured out that they need to do something about stationary polluters if the EPA really wants to clean up the air and reduce ozone levels. Just making vehicles cleaner has not done the job. Again - for the third time - the Bush Clear Skies program that would give stationary polluters more time to reduce pollution has been killed by a Senate committee - a Senate controlled by the same party as the president. I can honestly say it’s about time they started to “get it”.
Speaking of the EPA, President Bush has appointed a new EPA director. Stephen Johnson becomes the first person to head the agency who is a scientist and not a career politician/bureaucrat. Johnson has been with the EPA for 24 years. He has accepted one of the toughest federal jobs.
The Kyoto treaty was meant to reduce pollution worldwide but it has ran into problems caused by “pollution credits”. I bet you’ve heard that term before. Under the Kyoto credit plan a rich polluting nation can buy credits from a poor country that doesn’t pollute much. Somehow this is supposed to make the air cleaner. This sounds just like the program where companies would crush non-running cars to get pollution credits so the companies could continue to pollute at the same levels. It really makes you wonder if the same idiots keep coming up with the same ideas over and over again.
CVMC Guess the plate
The object of this game is to guess which CVMC member the license plate belongs to.
Dave’s Mustang Trivia
By David Lythgoe
1. What is the wheelbase for the 1965 to 1970 Mustang?
- What is the wheelbase for the 1971 to 1973 Mustang?
- What is the wheelbase for the 1974 to 1978 Mustang?
Rick’s Tip’s
1964 to 1973
Wiring… When to replace?
The engine compartment wiring began to become brittle in the mid 1970’s. It is now 35 years later and the wiring has become rock hard. The under dash harness is usually still ok. The engine compartment harnesses are subject to heat and will definitely need to be replaced. The trunk harness should be replaced if the rope covering has begun to unravel.
In the last “Rick’s Tip’s” the opening paragraph did not make much since. What I was trying to say was that besides rust in the lower parts of the doors there is also cracking at the latch. There are three locations where the latch bolts to the door shell. At these locations is where stress cracks will occur. The cracks can be repaired but the welding will show on the early cars (1964 ½ to 1968). There is no way to hide the welds. I apologize for the previous error in the bulletin.
I have MCA and Shelby Club judging experience to help with those difficult questions. I can be reached during the day at 804-321-5383.
Happy Cruising!

Minutes of Meeting,
March 2, 2005

Karen read the Treasurer's report. Rick Jones made the motion to accept the Treasurer's report and George Bobrovsky seconded. A majority approved the motion. We have 5 new members tonight.
Gordon Martin gave a report on the Asphalt Angels Show. We had 8 cars in our display. Everybody placed and the attendance was good.

Tony told us about the MCA National coming up in May. It will be in Huntsville, ALA. On May 13th, 14th, & 15th.
Judy Weidman - Club merchandise - still has some of the old show shirts as well as some tee shirts with the logo silk screened on them. The tees are $5.00 each and the show shirts are $10.00. She would like to have several orders for the jackets before she sends in another order. The jackets are $70.00 with your name, small logo on front and large logo on back.
Tony talked about the 2005 mustang. He told us that Ford Motor Company had pulled the plug on the Pony Drive where you could go to the plant and order your mustang and then drive it off the line. He also told us about the General Assembly passing an ordinance where the cameras at various intersections would be taken down. These were for the purpose of catching red light runners. MDA is having a car show in Roanoke this weekend.
George Bobrovsky has the schedule for the auto crosses. Rusty will be posting it on the website.
Tony called for a break. We came back from break and had the drawings. Greer (one of our new members) won the 50/50. He received $47.00. He said he needed gas money. It apparently pays to come to the meetings.
Tony adjourned the meeting at 8:45p.m.
Central Virginia Mustang Club
Minutes of Director’s Meeting,
March 2, 2005
By Brenda Jones
Tony called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. Members in attendance were: George Cosier, Gordon Martin, Tony Hall, Richard Jones, Brenda Jones, Dave Dickey, Jimmy Clements, Don Lane, Karen Lane, Joan McGrath, Johnny McGrath, Kathy Morton, Carroll Lipscombe, Rusty Wiseman, Betty Wiseman and Steve Coleman.
Tony brought up about club members not getting return calls or emails. Members, if you receive a phone call or email from another member, please return either the phone call or email as soon as you receive the message.
Trash pick up is this Saturday. We will be meeting at the old K Mart on Midlothian at 9:00 am. Richard Jones will be riding with someone to the site.
George Bobrovsky will be getting a professional photographer to take the picture for the dash plaque and poster. He also is getting the date for the display at the Science Museum that we have to have to pay our rent for the usage of the building.
Rusty talked about expanding our web site. He has been charging 3.00 for the site and that is 400mg for the page. He is looking to go to 2000mgs for 9.95 per month. This would give us secure sockets to protect members. He is looking at a cost of $30.00 a year to $120.00 a year. The reason he is looking to increase is that spammers have gotten on the site and are using our address to send spam to other sites. He may be able to make it easier to use by increasing. We took a vote on increasing. Tony made the motion, Steve Coleman seconded. The board approved the motion.
Tony, Dave and Gordon went to several trailer businesses to get prices on a trailer. Gordon had a list from 4 different trailers. Commonwealth Trailer gave us the best price. The price they quoted was $2490.00. Permanent license would be $52.00 and registration would be $20.00. Insurance on the contents would not be necessary since the items depreciate so fast. Tony asked Karen if we have enough in the treasury to cover the cost of the trailer. She said we did but that it still will have to go before the membership before we purchase the trailer.
Tony said we still have not lined up any dealers for the show sponsors. Richmond Ford has said they do not want to participate since Universal and Bill Talley are crossing territorial lines. We will be talking to Bill Talley and Universal. We will need them to cover the cost of the programs and trophies for the show.
We have 111 members. We finished last year at 152 members.
Jimmy Clements brought up about the nametags. We are looking into cheaper nametags. Charles is also looking into other items to give to new members.
Brenda brought up about a fundraiser coming up on April 2nd. This will be held at Union Bank and Trust Co. at Harbor Pointe shopping center. It is being held for 3 children who live in Chesterfield County and who have catastrophic diseases. One child is 12 years old and has Cerebral Palsy, one is 9 and has Pfizer Syndrome (brain disorder) and the 3rd child is 8 months old with Hydrocelphus (Water on the brain). They will be having a silent auction and bands out on the site that day. The event will run from 10 - 2 and they would like to have a few of our cars on display. All three of these children have already had several surgeries and will have to have more as they grow.
Tony adjourned the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
