About the Vintage Mustang Owners Association
The Vintage Mustang Owners Association (VMOA) was founded in August, 1977 to provide a focal point
for Mustang owners who wished to further their enjoyment of ownership. The club was originally dedicated
to the restoration and preservation of only the 1965 and 1966 Mustangs, but now welcomes all Mustangs up
to and including the current model year of production. Your interest in Mustangs is the most important thing,
not the condition of your car or the fact that you may not even own a Mustang yet. Club members keep
current on the latest Mustang information and participate in numerous fun events all year.
The Pony Express
The Pony Express is the official publication of the Vintage Mustang Owners Association. It is published for
the exclusive use of its members. Please send information and articles to: Editor@VintageMustang.org
Information and articles to appear in the Pony Express must be received by the 22nd of the month in order
to be in the next newsletter. Articles: Members are encouraged to submit articles for inclusion in the
newsletter. Tell us how you found your car or it found you! Send in Tech Articles or Tips and Tricks that
make life easier for you and your car. Ads: Want ads and For Sale ads can be submitted at the monthly
meeting or by writing to the editor. Free for members! Others at Editor’s discretion.
Thanks

From The Presidents Desk
From The Presidents Desk
As VMOA closes out 2008 and I conclude my
term as President, I want to express my gratitude to
all of the Officers, Board Members and Volunteers
who have served during the past two years— The
Vintage Mustang Owners Association appreciates
your work. I also want to congratulate those that will
move into new Officer and Board positions in 2009.
Our installation dinner will be on Saturday, Jan 10th,
6:00pm— look for the announcement. In parting
please allow me to leave you with a few thoughts:
.......I saw VMOA members Dane Berens, Chuck
and Marilyn Brown, Glenn Roberts and Janeen Pratt,
Joe Freitas, Ray Banks and Bill Croxton. Some were
showing their Mustangs, some were... not.
Lastly, I want to thank Moe Yousofzai and Matin
Kharie at Sunnyvale Ford for all of their help. These
two gentleman and their sales staff have gone out of
their way to make their dealership showroom
available to VMOA for our monthly General
Membership meetings. The best way for our club to

Membership Dues - There is a reason they’re called
dues, because they’re due each January. In the past
the club has not had a formalized enforcement of the
collection of dues, however going forward we are
going to have the membership responsibility managed
by the club Treasurer. If you would like to continue to
receive the monthly Newsletter, regular email
updates, and participate in club activities which are
subsidized by VMOA, please pay your membership
dues no later than the end of February. You can pay at
the monthly meeting, mail in payment, or use PayPal
at the club website www.vintagemustang.org
Yes, I went to the SJCC Show on Nov 22nd. I know,
it’s not all Mustangs, but this is a nice local car show
serving a great cause. Street Rods, Muscle Cars,
Customs, Bombs, AMC Pacer? It’s all there, and
plenty of Fords too. I personally am intrigued by the
old school, period chopped and channeled, barn fresh
rat rods of the 40’s and 50’s that celebrate the dawn of
Hot Rodding, very cool. At the show......
Hello fellow VMOA members whishing you and
your family a merry Christmas and Happy New Year and
I hope you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving.
The December meeting will not held at Sunnyvale
Ford, It will held at a locating to be announced soon. The
VMOA will have its Annual Pot Luck and Gift Exchange and Toy Drive. E-mail announcements will be
sent out as soon a location is settled on. So bring a dish
to share, a gift to exchange (no more than $25) and a few
unwrapped gifts for the Toy Drive
And now on to Car of the Month. I need members to
volunteer and write their story’s about your Mustang (
love of Mustangs, the mustang you once owned, or
dreamed about owning). I could be a simple half page
story and photograph to ???. But please consider volunteering your story, everyone in club enjoys reading these.
Do we have your current e-mail address?? I have
been getting several newsletters not delivered dun
various mailbox issues. E-mailing the newsletter and
various reminders are a great way for this club to keep in
touch with each other and informed. And requesting that
your newsletter is send only via e-mail saves the VMOA
money that can be better spent on more things like more
Poker Runs and ect. So please make sure that we have
you correct e-mail address.
VMOA Members Club Dues are due in January,
$35 per year to renew. see page 13 for renewal form

automatically get one FREE Raffle ticket when
you go see Mike Riccardi or Louise Gibino

When we attend mustang events
it helps if you wear your badge so others can know who

our club to get to know the names and faces.
And if you have a sudden lapse of memory, you
can read your own badge to see who you are!

the events as much as you like, you can start
to learn the names of all these nice people you
keep running into when you do get out!

If you are not able to attend our Monthly meetings or a Board meeting, there
are still ways to participate! If you have feedback or just want to volunteer
some time, contact one of your club officers or volunteers.They will point you

VMOA Car of The Month
James Yberra’s 1966 Mustang Convertible
I bought the car from my nephew. The car was stored in his fathers garage for 30 years. His father purchased the car on August 10 1966 in Dane, Wisconsin
I bought the car on July 3, 2007 and I have the original manual. It has the original color, “Emberglow
Metallic”. I had it completely restored by M&M restorations in San Jose with the orginal stock 289 engine
adding chore headers, 5-speed transmission, Edlerbrock Intake Manifold, Edlebrock Chrome Carburetor,
Edlebrock Chrome Water Pump, Edlebrock Chrome Fuel Pump and Filter and Misc. parts, 4 wheel disc
brakes and American Racing Chrome Wheels. I am now in the process of having the car lowered.

Beyond the Corral
1957 Ford Battlebird
After two years of
Corvettes dominating the
race scene Ford commissioned Bill Stroppe to build
four modified thunderbirds
to be built to compete in the
1957 race season. Two of
these cars were slightly
modified Thunderbirds with
312 c.i. engines. Ford
entered these two cars in
the Stock Car classes.
The modifications ushed
the top speed of these
Thunderbirds to 135 mph.
Ford won the Stock Car
class at the 1957 Daytona
Speed Week.
The other two Thunderbirds
were sent to DePaolo
Engineering for further
modifications. One of the cars had a Lincoln 430
c.i. dropped into the engine compartment while
the other one kept the 312 c.i. engine. The
bodies were modified to be more aerodynamic.
A metal tonneau cover was made to cover the
passenger seat. A cut down windscreen was used
and the bumpers were removed. The most
distinctive modification was the large headrest
fairing behind the driver’s seat. The 312 c.i.
powered Battlebird driven by Chuck Daigh
posted a speed of 93mph in the standing mile.
One of the Battlebirds ran over 200 mph in the
flying mile but that speed was not backed up so
it was not an official speed. The Battlebirds did
however post a speed of 160.356 in the flying
mile. That speed was more than 30 mph faster
than the second place Corvette.After Speed
Week the 312 c.i. Battle bird was entered into an
airport road race with Marvin Panch driving.
Panch finished second to Carroll Shelby who
was driving a 4.9 liter Ferrari. After the 1957
season Ford pulled out of racing. The Lincoln
powered Battlebird was destroyed supposedly
while filming a stunt scene for a movie. The 312
c.i. Battle bird is the only remaining Battlebird.
