PAY IT FORWARD Mustang charity project vehicle

Scott Drake Enterprises and the Mustang Club of America have announced the winner of the PAY IT FORWARD Mustang charity project vehicle. The un-restored 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible was awarded during the 45th Anniversary of the Mustang Celebration in Birmingham, Alabama, on April 18, 2009. The winning club was Mustangs of East Texas, based in Tyler, Texas, a regional club of the Mustang Club of America.

“Scott Drake Enterprises has successfully become the largest manufacturer of classic Mustang parts over the years, and so we wanted to give something back. Moreover, we believe that Mustang enthusiasts are some of the finest, most caring people in the world. So we really wanted to both give something back, and lift up the spirit and sense of community that lives among Mustang club members,” explains CEO Scott Drake. “That is how we came up with the idea to team up with the Mustang Club of America to award a project car and $10,000 worth of parts to one regional Mustang club.”

The announcement took place on Saturday afternoon and when the winners were announced, cheers went up from members of the Mustang Club of East Texas. Craig Chesley, Regional Director of the club, said that the group was thrilled to win the car, and was ecstatic about the opportunity to restore the 1966 Ford Mustang in an effort to pay it forward.

Volunteer members of Mustangs of East Texas will diligently work as a group to restore the vehicle in just six months in order to display the fully restored Mustang in the Scott Drake Enterprises booth at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas, NV. In their application to be eligible to win the vehicle, the club had listed many member volunteers who had pledged their time and talents for the restoration. In addition to the $10,000 in parts that Scott Drake Enterprises has donated, Quantum Performance has donated a motor, Kicker Stereo has donated parts, and Performance Automatic has donated a transmission. The winning club has also secured involvement with local companies which offered to assist them with everything from media blasting the body to supplying paints, parts and services for the restoration process.

After debuting at the world-famous SEMA show, the restored Mustang convertible will be auctioned, with proceeds going to the favorite charity of the Mustangs of East Texas car club, the East Texas Crisis Center.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NEWS FLASH!! Now for the first time ever, you can buy a brand new OEM-style subframe for your 1967, ‘68 or ’69 Camaro or Firebird or 1968-72 Chevy II/Nova!

Auto Metal Direct (AMD) has announced the immediate availability of beautiful, brand new subframes, patterned like original units. Original subframes were slightly different for each year, so AMD went to the time and expense necessary to make three different subframes, to make each year frame correct for that same year F-Body or Nova! You’ll be amazed to see correct cut-out holes, bends, brackets, and weld beads like original. Now you can have the correct appearance AND the strength and accuracy of brand new steel.

The subframe is the obvious foundation of any Camaro, Firebird, or Nova, so replace rusty, weakened, dented, bent, warped, or damaged original units with these faithful reproductions from AMD.

Neil Young's 1959 Lincoln

FROM GAS GUZZLER TO GREEN MACHINE:
NEIL YOUNG TURNS HIS ’59 LINCOLN INTO AN ECO-FRIENDLY RIDE

By Shaun Smith
Assistant Publisher

Over the past year, Neil Young has worked extensively to modify his 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV from a gasoline-powered vehicle into a battery-powered cruiser. And, at just 9-miles-per-gallon, this concept is easy to understand in an economy as fluid as ours.

Young asked Jonathan Goodwin to help him with the project. Goodwin has had numerous cars featured on MTV’s Pimp My Ride series.

Now, one year later, this green machine can get around 80 miles per gallon! Their goal is to reach 100, and when they do, Young wants to race cross country against other green machines. Clearly, this is making a statement in the classic car hobby and grabbing a lot of attention.

Young has a collection of antiques and classics located at his California home. Young claims that he wants to make a statement about the energy crisis at hand and enforce the idea that this is a project that anyone who has a garage can work on.

Here’s how it works: a generator is powered by tiny ethanol-fueled engine powers that charge the batteries located in the trunk of the car. This, then, fuels the car’s electric motor, giving the car the power to move forward.

The engine is a 150 kilo-watt electric motor that produces 500hp and can reach speeds of 160mph.

The project is taking place in a garage in Wichita, KS. Young and Goodwin have plans to modify other existing hot rods into eco-friendly cruisers. Young looks forward to attracting the attention of one of the big auto manufacturers in hopes of sending them a message about cleaning up our environment.
