Baton Rouge Area Mustangers Club
Our March meeting is coming up this Wednesday, March 3rd, at LaFonda Restaurant & Lounge beginning at 7PM. Those members who plan to eat dinner begin arriving around 6:30PM. Guests who have a mutual interest in the Mustang hobby are always welcome!
At this meeting, we will discuss plans for attending the National Show in Pensacola, FL, which is the last weekend of this month, and plans for other club activities scheduled for the next couple of months. I hope to see you there.

The Baton Rouge Area Mustangers would like to welcome James and Julie Martin as new members to our club. James and Julie joined about 40 fellow Mustangers on a cruise Saturday the 20th of Feb. to Frenier’s Restaurant in Laplace. Our caravan included their 2010 Shelby along with at least a dozen other Mustangs. We hope they enjoy the club as much as we do.
If anyone is interested in a car capsule for their prized ride, Charles Truax has a brand new one for sale. It is 18′ long and of course includes the compressor. For those not in the know about these car protectors, a car capsule is a giant zip-lock container you drive your car over, zip it closed, and turn on the compressor to fill the giant bag with air. The compressor burns little electricity and the bag keeps your car dust free and protects it from dings and bumps. This capsule has never been out of the box. Charles paid $375.00 plus shipping for it and is willing to sell it for $150.00. If anyone is interested, call Charles at 225-665-8575. You can view an example of the capsule at carcapsule.com.
I ran across an ad on the New Orleans Craigslist where a guy by the name of Chris wants to trade a 68 Mustang coupe for a travel trailer. Since the picture showed the Mustang to be in pretty good shape, I exchanged emails with him and here are the particulars.
It is an Alcapulco Blue, Sprint model (6 cyl., automatic) with black standard interior that is an older restoration. Chris says the car is mechanically sound with almost new tires but the paint could use a good buffing. The Mustang can be purchased instead of trading an RV for it but Chris says he will not entertain any offer below $5,000. Call Chris for more information at 619-292-5179.

Don’t forget, our next BRAM meeting will be on Wednesday,March 3, 2010. The location is LaFonda Restaurant & Lounge (225-927-2535) at 7838 Airline Highway in Baton Rouge. This is on the river side of Airline between Tom Drive & South Choctaw. We begin our meetings at 7PM but members begin arriving around 6:30PM to order their meals which are optional. Guests are always welcome at our meetings. Owning a Mustang is not a requirement – You just have to like them!
