FINAL CAR OF THE YEAR HEAT WINNER ANNOUNCED!
Wow! What a long period this year’s competition has been held over – from April to October, with eight heats! The final heat took place at the American Autumn Classic at the Prescott Hill Climb. Despite the ‘mixed bag’ weather, Laura and Ross Meek drove their 1967 Ford Mustang fastback from Nottingham. This stunning pony car boasts a bigblock S-code 390 motor, four-speed top loader gearbox and Equa-lock diff. The original buyer opted to
delete the rear fold-down seat, but did select power-steering, tinted glass and an AM radio. The car appears to have been ordered new in Nebraska, staying with its original owner through college and into the Eighties, ultimately being taken off the road and stored for 10 years, before being restored and coming to these shores in 2003. Make sure you check out this stunner on the Classic American stand at the Classic Motor show this November!
