Mustang Club of Tampa Christmas Party 2015
On Saturday evening Dec 5th, The MCT held our annual Christmas
Party at the historic Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor City, downtown
Tampa. 64 people attended. We drove cars (8 members chosen
by ticket number) down the middle isle of Spaghetti Warehouse,
with 4 members winning their racing cars. We had surprise gifts
won by members who could answer tough questions about everything, I'm told the questions were too tough. hahahaha A balloon
lady wound through making some lovely flowers for the ladies, and
a very large one for me. We had a great turnout for Toys for Tots,
they will be heading to MacDill AFB to help the families that keep
us safe, have a good Christmas. Last but not least, we had a great
gift exchange. Having to use a smaller space made it more fun. I
hope everyone enjoyed the party.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Jim & Lucy Carroll

MCT Members: I wanted a rear spoiler for my 1978 Mustang II and Mustangs Unlimited has a selection of
Mustang II parts, so I ordered a spoiler.
(1) After bolting it on and looking at it, I decided I didn’t like how
tall it was and how it went over the top of the quarter panels.
(2) I cut the
spoiler down
and filled the
area in with
fiberglass mat.
(3) The next
step was filler
and a lot of
block sanding.
(4) I wanted it to look like it came from the factory one piece, so it
was bolted and I used fiberglass mat to attach it to the rear hatch.
Next will be a lot of bodywork, block sanding and priming.
(5) I wanted
to clean up the
engine compartment so all
the holes were
welded and
ground.
(6) They don’t
make
replacement V8 motor mounts, so we made our own. Also, the
transmission tunnel was modified to clear an AOD transmission and
all the holes filled in the firewall. After a lot of bodywork I sprayed a
couple coats of SPI black epoxy followed with two coats of SPI
Turbo urethane

MCT Member Mustangs of the Month
John & Darlene Esposito’s Pair of Ponies
Relatively new Mustang Club of
Tampa members, John and
Darlene Esposito have jumped
into the hobby with all four feet.
John is a retired Police Officer
with 18 years of service and
Darlene is a Florida Certified
Animal Control Officer employed
at The Humane Society of Tampa
Bay and manages the Spay and
Neuter program for Feral Cats.
“Back In 2009, Darlene had been
diagnosed with Stage II breast
cancer. After a long battle, and
many surgeries she was given a
clean bill of health. Feeling she
had a new lease on life, I
surprised her with a 2010 Mustang convertible. Just looking, we found the
right car at the right price. Soon after, we discovered the many after
market upgrades and the fun got started.”
“We had never had owned a Mustang before, but after seeing numerous
custom Breast Cancer Mustangs, that’s when the work began. Over the
past few years, custom paint, exhaust, tuner and wheels slowly took the
gray pony over to become a Breast Cancer Survivor car. As I like to say,
she was rebuilt and so was her Mustang. The mods continue to this day.”
“Once her car was near completion, the search for mine began.
Unsure of the “NEW” redesigned 2015/16 Mustangs I happened
to see a 2016 fastback, white with blue racing stripes I immediately loved the car. Still unsure on this next generation of pony
car, I cautiously took it for a test drive. I had heard all about
Eco-Boost and this new V-6 power. But once I drove it, I
screamed to Darlene “THIS IS IT! THIS IS MY NEXT CAR!!” I
was sold. Performance was a 100% for me. We found our
2016 by accident and it was love at first sight and drive.”
Darlene’s 2010 Convertible: Sterling Gray Metallic w/a custom Pink Breast Cancer
Awareness paint scheme, 4.0L V6 modified, Automatic trans, true Dual Exhausts,
custom tuner, BBK cold air intake, chrome Bullitt wheels, about 300hp. John’s 2016
Fastback: V-6 Eco-Boost, 310 hp, Oxford White w/blue stripes, Roush cold air intake,
Factory equipped. No mods yet.
“In October 2014, Darlene and I attended a car show at Bill Currie Ford put on by MCT.
Seeing the great cars and great people we decided this would be fun. At that point we
were both hooked and we joined right there and then at the show. Over the past year,
we found that the MCT has the best members and do the most and awesome charity
work in the Tampa Bay area.”
“With most of the mods completed on the Convertible we will
continue to take trips to the
beach, and in the future Darlene
intends to enter Car shows,
Cruises, and Poker Runs
around the state. As for the ‘16, a Custom Tuner and some small upgrades will be in
the future. Since the convertible is garaged, we have got it down to a few hours a
week, however the ‘16 lives outside, so it gets numerous hours a week before a
show. Darlene won an Award of Excellence at the MCT Mustang & Shelby Round
Up Show in November, 2015 and I won in the 2015-2016 class at the ‘Ponies Under
The Palms’ show November 22, 2015. Recently, the maiden trip for the 2016 was to
West Palm Beach and Miami. This next generation of Mustang performed flawlessly,
even at 120 MPH!”

Secrets of the Shelby G.T. 500
The first two years of Shelby Mustang production, 1965-66, were the
golden years of Carroll Shelby's
efforts to turn a comfortable pony
car into a sharp-handling, raceready GT. By the time the bigengine GT500 joined the small
block GT350 for the 1967 model
year, there were signs of strain in
Shelby's relationship with Ford.
Here are a few lesser-known facts:
Comparatively Few Were Actually Built by Shelby in California. The GT500 came out at a time when Ford was seeking to
exercise closer supervision over its partnership with Shelby. A little more than a year into the run, Ford moved production from
Shelby's operation in Los Angeles to the A.O. Smith Factory (of water heater fame) in Michigan, where the blue oval people
could keep a closer watch on things. Thus, the last two years of GT500 production did not take place at Carroll Shelby's shop.
It was briefly the car of Agent 86, Maxwell Smart. For a few episodes in season four of the classic spy comedy, " Get
Smart," the title character drove a blue/tan GT500KR convertible. Buick became a sponsor the following season and the Shelby
disappeared in favor of the mini-Corvette Opel GT.
A single convertible was built for 1967. It was intended that a convertible would be offered for the 1967 model year but the
aforementioned production shift and other issues prevented this from occurring until the 1968 model year. Just one convertible
was built for 1967.
A single example was built with a GT40 427 racing engine. Perhaps the most exciting and certainly one of the most valuable
GT500s was the single 7-liter GT40-engined "Super Snake" that Shelby personally demonstrated to drum up interest that was
not forthcoming. The car sold at the Mecum Indy sale in 2013 for $1.3 million.
Unsold 1969s were sold as 1970 models. There was actually no new production for the 1970 model year, but as there were
almost 800 leftover 1969 models, Ford successfully petitioned the federal government to allow the cars to be re-VINed as 1970
models. A chin spoiler distinguishes what became the last of the classic GT500s, which were sold after Ford's agreement with
Shelby had terminated.
Article submitted by John Esposito
Update: 2017 Shelby GT 500
We’ve seen and gawked over the GT350 and GT350R, but big brother
is still coming.
Ford Performance is hard at work on the new GT500, according to fresh
reports from Detroit. The powerplant is unknown at this time, but we are
hearing that this engine could be “well over the 700HP mark”, all while
“breathing through a straw”. Take it for what it’s worth, but we perceive
that as a hint towards Forced Induction (low boost from the factory?)
We are also hearing that Ford is working ‘very hard’ on Direct-Injection
for this new power plant. Could we see Ford’s first production 5.0 EcoBoost make its debut in the GT500? After all, that’s what the people
want. And it’s no secret that Ford has been testing a 5.0 Twin Turbo
development mule as recently as a few months ago.
Regardless, we expect this new beast to depart from the now highlydiscussed Flat Plane Crank. Traditionally, the GT350 (and GT350R) has
always been aimed towards track use, while the GT500 is more of an earth
-rotating, straight line, freeway runner.
As far as power delivery, as you all know, the Hellcat is producing just
north of 700HP, so we would be shocked if Ford doesn’t take it one step
further.
“Our new SVT Halo Mustang will have more HP than the Hellcat” claims a
Ford rep from a recent CNN interview. Hold on to your butts.

Ponies Under the Palms Show
The Mustang Club of West Central Florida held its 24th Annual ‘Ponies under the Palms’ Mustang and Ford Show on Sunday, November 22.
Although the threat of rain kept some registrants from attending, the day still turned out well with the new show location at
picturesque Main Street in Lakewood Ranch. A portion of the
proceeds were to benefit two wonderful charities, TideWell
Hospice and Southeastern Guide Dogs.
Mustang and Ford enthusiasts from throughout the region
competed for awards. MCT members Randy & Patsy Dwyer
won for Best Roush, Saleen & Shelby. John & Darlene
Esposito, won the award for Best 2015/2016 Mustang.
