Just wanted to tell everybody I sold the 66 coupe. I got 10 grand for it! I was really surprised in todays financial mess, some folks have money for “Old Stangs”. Hope to see ya soon…. Keith
I have some pics from the event, if you want to put them on the site somewhere. I have two race shots that are pretty good. I tried to show them with this message, but the site doesn’t seem to support that.

On Thursday, a man from Houston called me. His daughter is going to LSU and gets around in a 65 Mustang. As all fathers would, he is concerned that the Mustang would need a little attention every now & then so he was seeking some advice on good repair shops.
Well, I know of some but there are certainly more out there than what I am aware of so I thought this would be a great topic for our blog! I have added Maintenance & Repair to our category list with Parts, Mechanical, and Body & Paint as subcategories. If you have a good experience, let everyone know! If an experience is not so good, you can also post it, but please, keep it professional and clean.

While Debbie & I were on vacation in the Detroit area of Michigan, our neighbor in the campground, Ed Moore (very nice guy who is one of the employees there), got to talking about old cars. I mentioned that I was a member of the BR Mustangers. He then told me the story about his ‘72 Mustang Mach I. Ed is the original owner of this car which he ordered while working for Ford at one of their plants. Since he is now “full-timing” in his RV (meaning he no longer owns a stationary home), he wants to sell his Mach I. The market in Michigan is depressed right now due to the layoffs in the auto industry so I offerred to pass the information out to our BRAM members.
From the pictures, you can see Ed takes very good care of his Mustang. He is the man taking the cover off the car in one of the pictures. The Mach was used as his daily driver for a few years in the ’70’s while Ed worked at Ford. Later, it was only used on weekends and occasional outings. It was totally restored 2-3 years ago and has been driven sparingly since then. The battery was just about dead when I took these pictures so we couldn’t start the 351 Cleveland. Ed still has the original air cleaner and stock wheels.
If anyone is interested, the Mach is located in Ypsilanti, Michigan which is about 30 minutes west of Detroit. Ed can be reached at eandjmoore2@yahoo.com or at 734-890-2718 and he can tell you more about the car. I don’t remember what Ed is asking for the Mach I but he had the car appraised after the restoration was completed. If interested, you can contact Ed and discuss price.
Welcome to the Baton Rouge Area Mustangers new website! We hope you like the look and will be a regular visitor. Those of you who were familiar with our old website should recognize that most of the features found there have been incorporated into this new webpage.
Some of you may have missed us over the last few months or experienced problems with our old website. Please accept our apologies! The old site was having technical problems and needed an overhaul - much like our older Mustangs. The project to develop this new website began in late June. Work went smoothly until Hurricanes Gustav & Ike decided to visit Louisiana. The storms delayed our launch by about 2 months while most of us involved in the site development were concentrating on other things like trees through roofs and extended work hours.
Feel free to let us know what you think! Also, please be patient as we continue to update old information and add more features. One nice characteristic of the site’s new architecture is our Officers and Board Members can update most items without having to depend upon a “Webmaster” or computer programmer. This newfound power is strange to all of us. Bear with us if you see something that looks a little weird. We are learning as we go but chances are any goof-ups will be fixed by your next visit. We are open for suggestions that you, our members, would like to see at “brmustangers.org”.
At the bottom of the banner at the top of this Home page is a list of navigation buttons which take you to the other pages within the BRAM website. To register with us, click on the Register button where you can fill in you contact information.
Thanks for visiting us and we hope you will come back soon. If you have just found us and are not yet a member, we invite you to any of our General Membership meetings held on the first Wednesday of each month or come to one of our club activities shown on the Events Calendar. We look forward to meeting you!
Jim Freyder, VP BR Area Mustangers
