Ford Mustang The First Generation, The Early Years Podcast

Show Notes

When your position is to build, under a bespoke license from Shelby - turn Ford Mustangs, into carbon fiber Shelby race cars, you've got my attention. Welcome Igor Polegkiy to Ford Mustang The Early Years

Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application ============ Do you own an early year Mustang?: no

Please upload a favorite pic of your Mustang or a classic car you drive now or have owned in the past.:

If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?: My favorite from last year was Open Road, a beautiful 1967 GT500CR Carbon (prototype) that I raced at Sonoma. We called her Open Road because it was the dealer that owned it. But she saw the open road many, many times for a 1-of-1 prototype.

Are you are in the business of selling, modifying, repairing or restoring Classic Mustangs? : yes

Are you a supplier of products to Mustang and Classic Car enthusiasts?: yes

If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?: We build, under a bespoke license from Shelby - turn Ford Mustangs, into carbon fiber Shelby racecars.

We work directly with race chassis manufacturers, Shelby American, and our unique vendors to push the legacy of not only Ford but Carroll Shelby forward.

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?: Our goal is to primarily continue innovating the 60s design, for modern practical use. There is a right, and wrong way to build a racecar - we do it the right way, the Texas way.

If you’ve ever caught Mustang fever, you know it doesn’t take much. Sometimes all it takes is one good friend, one beautiful ’65 Fastback, and one road trip through Chicago to make you realize there’s suddenly an empty space in your garage that desperately needs filling.
