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 winni
ng 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.
