We had a great time at the MCA show in Georgia. Met up with Marty Rupp and saw lots of great Mustangs, old & new.

We just got home, long but good trip.

I was great to see Neil and Peggy again. I was looking forward to seeing Neil's black beauty in person, it was just as nice as I thought it would be.

I loved the shirt that Peggy bought me, it was a big hit with Tari too!

It was so nice to be able to attend a MCA national again and see our Mustang family.

We are having a MCA National show in northern California next summer. You west coasters need to start planning a 2022 GTCS reunion.

Marty, I found one scheduled for May 20th, 2022 in Suisun City, Ca. Is this the one you were thinking of?. Let me know if you'll be close to No. California for any shows. i.e. Reno, Nv. Etc.

Rob it started right up and backed out of the trailer them proudly drove on the show field.
Given the severer weather in the southeast and the fact that I probably got more MPGs in the van pulling the trailer that the 390 would have driving. It would have been fun driving it in the mountains though. Thank you for your help with it.

I got to see this branded 67 Mustang at the MCA national. I had only seen pictures of them. Some how they found a NOS kit to replace the vinyl roof. The roof material was available in hounds tooth and paisley. This one looked better than I expected with the burnt amber paint.

I have a Ford document that the "Branded" kit was to help Ford dealers sell used Mustangs. Could have also been used to sell slow movers, I will try and find my copy this weekend and post again.

That is what I read, I believe in Mustang Monthly some years back.
