Dear Santa,

I have done my best to be a very good boy this year. I have spread the Mustang gospel far and wide and have done a few good deeds along the way. Therefore, below you will find my Christmas list. There is no particular order of preference; any one or more of the items will suffice in making me deliriously happy for the coming decade or more.

A Shelby Mustang GT350R. I need something to occupy my weekends. Vintage racing seems like a worthwhile way to pass the time.

A 1969 Mach 1, preferably one with a 428 engine but I won't be picky. Black, red or blue please.

A 1969 Boss 302. For those weekends when the GT350R is unavailable, or I feel the need for a fast trip to the grocery store.

A 1977 Cobra II, highly modified for drag racing. I figure the smaller II with a 351W will make a dandy platform to cut my teeth on the quarter mile.

A particular 1979 Indy Pace Car. For something understated during a night out on the town.

A 1985 GT350 turbo convertible. Just because I think the limited edition is cool and they only made a few hundred turbo convertibles.

A 1993 SVT Cobra. My heart's desire. Now, I'd really like a teal one, but black or red will do. Please make it stock and unmodified!

A 2000 Cobra R. I realize that this is rather unrealistic, what with only 300 of them being made and all. But, if you happen to have one, I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands. I won't even grouse about it not having a radio!

Lastly, a 2001 GT convertible. One with those bitchin' new retro-styled wheels! Any color as long as it's not green. I would like to specify a 5-speed if at all possible.

Santa, I realize that budgetary concerns will limit what you can bring and that your bag will only hold so much, even using the latest in miniaturization technology. So I will not be disappointed if you do not bring me everything on my list. Whichever one or two you happen to have laying around will do.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to looking in my garage on Christmas morning.

From myself , Liz, Brandon, and everyone in Island Classic Mustang Club, we would like to wish you all happy holidays and a joyous new year.

Apologies to Ian Chapman for stealing his idea. Well, it's not exactly the same, just really close. Close enough to cause legal problems if he weren't a really cool guy. But since he is a really cool guy, he'll just laugh and harass me about it unmercifully.

Dave
