Between the southern California cities of San Diego and Santa Barbara, we know of no less than seven Mustang clubs. They all welcome both late-model and vintage Mustang enthusiasts and one of those is the Mustang Owners Club of California (MOCC).
Based in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, MOCC is a great bunch of people who love Mustangs of all sorts. Their annual show took place in early May 2016 at Warner Ranch Park in Woodland Hills and we stopped by on a spectacular spring afternoon to check out the cars that the MOCC members had on hand for the club’s Mustangs in the Park car show.
2015 Mustang GT 50th Anniversary Edition
As you can see from our coverage, the variety of late-model Mustangs was extensive and included a number of S550s and S197s. Those prior to 2005 were also well represented with such cars as a nice sampling of SN-95 SVT Cobras. They included three convertibles that were a ’96, a ’99 and a terminator ’03, all of which are shown in the below photo gallery. You will also see a pristine Fox-body ’93 Cobra in our coverage.
The vintage Mustangs were also clearly worth checking out and we have a bunch of pictures of those as well. Those include a beautifully restored, 390-powered ’67 fastback, a Grabber Blue ’70 Boss 302 and a ’69 Grande that’s a single-family-owned heirloom. For all the MOCC club happenings, keep an eye on the club Website for dates for upcoming events and shows.
This S550 shown here and above celebrates the Mustang’s 50th Anniversary and it happens to be a limited-edition 50th car that’s number 1235 out of 1964 produced. Powered by a Coyote 5.0, we think interest this car 50 years from now will be noteworthy.
We’ve seen plenty of well-preserved Fox-body ’93 Cobras around in our years of show coverage, but this one is particularly pristine. It’s noted as car 4057 out of 4993 built. And as you can see, it looks as new with only 2,000 miles on the odometer.
In 2008, Saleen offered these Dan Gurney edition H281 Mustangs (above). Even by today’s standards, the supercharged 4.6-liter three-valve in these cars produced a quite respectable 465 horsepower. This example is number 08-0024 and is equipped with a Performance White finish and a Dark Charcoal interior with Dan Gurney graphics. It has the Saleen supercharger, a five-speed manual trans and all the standard Gurney Edition options. It’s also one of just 21 with these exact colors and options, making it a fairly rare car among ’05-’09 S197s.
This 2015 GT (above) is finished in Guard, which is very close the Dark Highland Green used in the 2001 and 2008/09 Bullitt models. It’s also similar to the one-year-only Highland Green used on vintage ’68 Mustangs. The owner of this car also added a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter and a set of 19-inch US Mag forged-aluminum wheels. Of course, this car also has a Coyote 5.0 engine, a six-speed manual trans and the Track Pak option that includes Brembo brake calipers and 15-inch rotors.
The owner of this ’06 V-6 coupe (above) made it into a Mach 1 of sorts with hood pins; a Classic Design Concepts front spoiler; Agent 47 sideview mirrors; a flat-black hood, trunk panel and stripe kit; a flat-black rear spoiler; rear-window louvers; and a Mach 1 interior decor group. Also added for a little extra performance are a Classic Design Concepts shaker hood/cold-air system, Gibson headers, a Magnaflow exhaust system, Eibach springs, and Ford Racing struts and shocks.
One of the most iconic Mustang bodystyles of all are the ’67-’68 fastbacks. Add an S-code 390 four-barrel and C6 automatic trans to this ’67 and you have one of the more collectible vintage Mustangs around. Several other desirable options include factory A/C, power steering, power front-disc brakes, and a fold-down rear seat. Fold-down rear seats were standard in ’65-’66 Mustang fastbacks, but became optional (and each year more rare) for ’67-’70 models. Clearwater Aqua, which is one of the best colors of the era make this example look all the better.
Tommye and Evelyn Meyer own this ’69 Grande coupe (above) that has been in Tommye’s family since new. Powered by a 302, you can read the whole story on this heirloom in the accompanying plaque shown below. Click on the photo and you will be able to read it.
A Grabber Blue ’70 Boss 302 (below) is a big deal for most vintage Mustang enthusiasts. Check out the copy of the car’s original window sticker that shows its extensive list of options. Cool stuff to be sure.
