About the Club
By Mike Rey
MOCSEM President
The Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan
(MOCSEM) was founded in November 1975 by a
group of individuals with the desire to protect and
preserve the Ford Mustang as one of the most
attractive and fun filled cars ever made. We are
enthusiasts of all ages with a love affair with the
many generations of America’s Premiere Pony Car.
Whether it’s a coupe, convertible or fastback from
1964½ to the current model or the 2004 Cobra, we
love them all. The mission of club members is to
collect, restore, and preserve the history of the
Mustang along with the stories of the people and the
roles that they played in making this one of the great
cars of the 20th Century. Although ownership is not a
requirement for membership, your enthusiasm,
expertise, and / or love of the automobile are most
welcome.
Many of our club members own one or more
Mustangs in varying body styles, models and years.
Club members are always exchanging information,
providing sources for parts, literature and helpful
hints for restoring or maintaining their Mustangs. Our
members are a diverse group of individuals, located
throughout Southeastern Michigan and all share a
great appreciation for the Ford Mustang. Our general
membership meetings are held on the second
Tuesday of each month. Our monthly newsletter,
The Accelerator, provides the members with reports
on club activities, technical information,
advertisements and business service locations and
more. Some club activities include car shows,
picnics, sporting events, cruise nights and technical
sessions.
Star Studded Year!
And the surprises just don't stop! As many of you
witnessed we made history once again at the June
meeting with two very special guests! We had Susan
Lampinen (Head of Color & Materials) from Ford
Motor Co. & The legendary Lee Holman from
Holman & Moody fame grace us with their presence
at the meeting and both gave presentations! What
other club has people of this stature at their monthly
meetings on a very consistent basis? Answer? NO
ONE! The good news is it will not stop here, we
have very special guests each month from JulyOctober that will be coming to join us! What an honor
it was to listen to their presentations! They both have
so much passion for what they do, which is why they
both have been very successful in their careers. As I
am writing this, I am also very deep into the planning
of one of the highlight events of the year which will
be over when you read this. It is the Downriver Pre
Cruise Party for MOCSEM Members only to attend!
Another huge benefit of being a member. We will
have over 100 Mustangs at this event! Gonna be a
great night! Also I am very deep into the Mustang
Heroes Banquet Planning as well of course our main
event the 50th Anniversary Event in Dearborn
(Mustang Memories)! Each day the event gets better
and better! This is the one you just cant miss! This
will be the last newsletter before registration ends, so
if you havent registered for the Banquet or the Show
yet, what are you waiting for, do not miss out on the
best events MOCSEM has ever offered! See you all

Mustang “The First 50 years”
By Ken Kirchoff
http://www.tmbv.com/Mustang-The-First-50Years/productinfo/MUSTANG/
If you’re a Mustang fan who wants a video which
does a great job reviewing the history of the Mustang
this one is a great choice.
The story of the Mustang is a great one and this
being the 50th anniversary is one which should be
told and shared. It starts off with explaining the
purpose behind the video and how they approached
making it. The purpose was to celebrate this great
anniversary event. It also includes actual owners of
Mustangs telling their stories about the car and what
it means to them. The focus was how the car
inspired, attracted and passion envolked with in
people. The story goes through all generations of the
Mustang explaining key features of each generation.
It is full of factoids which may not be common
knowledge. The video is well done and enjoyable to
watch.
MOCSEM members will feel at home watching this
video. There are interviews with Gale Halderman,
William Deary, John Clor. This year the club has
visited Gale Halderman’s barn , met with him and
seen his personal collection. We have also visited
the Deary Shelby Collection. Our own John Clor is
the video.
“An excellent portrayal of the 50 year progression of the Mustang.
Early history facts are correct, with well researched pictures and video
used through out.” Robert Fria – Author, Mustang Genesis
Lee Holman, Holman and Moody
Lee told the club about the Holman and Moody
racing history. Shared many stories including
how successful they had been in Europe in the
early 60’s leading the way for Carroll Shelby and
his racing teams.
“This is a ‘must have’ for every Mustang enthusiast. Another home run
for TM. Well researched and presented in a story-like manner to
appeal to all Mustang enthusiasts. Narrator did a wonderful job and
interviewees all offered interesting narrative. The breakdown of each
the evolution of the car over the past five decades. Far surpasses any
previous show on Mustang.” Steven Tapper, Mustang historian and
treasurer,

“Mustang DVD by TM is very well done and exciting to watch. The
opening grabs your attention and ir keeps getting better. Enlightened
approach with fascinating pictures and dialogue.” Gale Halderman,
Former Ford Design Director
“Wow! Fantastic. The Mustang Nation is going to love this. Best ever.”
William Deary, The Carroll Collection
"TM’s Mustang DVD combines an extensive history with technical data
on how the Mustangs changed through the years. Great interviews and
features. Covers every Mustang model. By far the best show on
Mustang ever produced.” Al Rice, Ford Marketing, retired
“Fabulous! Great quality and value. An enjoyable balance of new and
archival material. The voices are strong, and great cars captured in the
footage; especially cool to hear from some of the original team that
designed and engineered the Mustang.” Matt Stone, Automotive
Journalist
I put it in and could not stop watching it! Love it! Mike Rey,
President,

Detailing Tips & Secrets - Wax On, Wax Off
JUNE 16, 2014 BY JOHN LONG
Car wax, paint sealants, paint protectants, paste or
liquid, what’s the difference?
They can be confusing if not understood, all are a
protectant to your paint. Some do a more effective
job than others, but all protect against the harsh
environmental elements and help prevent premature
deterioration caused by oxidation. If you go down the
auto appearance aisle in stores, there are hundreds
of products that can be used, and each claims that
theirs is the best.
away quickly. These are excellent toppers over an
existing wax to boost the shine before a show. Up
next are cleaner waxes or pre-wax cleaners. A one
step product that has polishing and protectant
abilities. Because of the cleaners, they don’t leave as
much protection on the paint surface, so you would
want to follow this with something that would provide
more protection. The fourth and best is the synthetic
paint sealants. There are two kinds, polymer-based
and acrylic-based. They can both withstand
temperatures over 1,000 degrees, and offer the
longest durability. The polymer based will give the
best protection, shine and slickness, where the
acrylic based has good durability, but needs a
carnuba topper to improve shine and slickness.
Of all the products there’s no right or wrong choice.
It’s what will work best for your needs. Some waxes
or sealants work better on different colors. What
looks great on a light color, might not look as good
on a darker color. The cleaner, more contaminant
free your paint is, the more reflective it will be after
applying your sealant. Always remember, if you use
synthetics with a carnuba, put the synthetic on first,
and give it time to bond to the paint. Some sealants
need 12-24 hours cure time. I put on a polymer
based sealant, wipe off and let sit overnight, and the
next day apply a carnuba topper, and maintain with a
quick detailer. I use a liquid and spread it thin,
remember more is not better, and there will be less
product dust to remove. If you have time and
patience, two coats ensures proper coverage.
A good procedure to a perfect paint is Wash-CleanPerfect-Protect-Maintain. It seems like a long road,
but patience and passion are what drives obsessive
detailers to perfection! Shine on my friends.

Prototypes to Meet Up in Tulsa, Oklahoma

We all want durability, looks and slickness. There are
four basic types of protectant for paint. The
traditional paste wax is the oldest that’s a hard wax
that contains petroleum distillates and silicone for a
temporary shine. Hard to put on and remove if left on
for very long. Next is carnuba based wax. They're
soft, easy to use and pricey depending on how much
carnuba is in the can. These are made more for
looks than durability as the sun and heat tend to
breakdown the carnuba, resulting in protection going

More than three decades after taping a full-page ad
ripped from a 1965 car magazine above his bunk on
an Alaskan crab boat, Mark Hovander is touring the
country this year with the same Ford Shelby GT350
Mustang pictured on that page.
Hovander and his crosstown friend John Atzbach are
big fans of the first-generation Shelby Mustang, and
between them they own two of the three original
prototypes. As Mustang enthusiasts across the
country and around the world celebrate 50 years of
their favorite pony car, Hovander and Atzbach are
bringing their cars to nine different events in 2014,
including this weekend’s 40th annual Mid America
Ford and Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Hovander’s car bears Shelby serial number
SFM5S003, while Atzbach owns SFM5R003. Those
numbers identify the cars as two of the three original
prototypes used by Shelby American to develop the
road-going and racing versions of the GT350.
“In 1980, I went up to Alaska to work on a crab
fishing boat to earn some money in order to buy a
1965 GT350,” said Hovander. “Since space was
limited, we were only allowed one duffel bag. I was a
huge Shelby Mustang fan, so in addition to my
clothes, I brought an ad for the GT350 that I had
ripped out of an old Shelby American magazine.
“I figured this would give me inspiration during the
20-hour workdays, but little did I know that nearly 30
years later I would own the very car pictured in that
ad.”
In mid-1964, about the time that the first of what
would eventually be more than 9 million customers
were driving away from Ford dealerships in the
original Mustang, the home office called in Carroll
Shelby and his team to help establish some serious
performance credentials for the car. Shelby and Ford
agreed to develop a high-performance version of
Mustang that would compete in the Sports Car Club
of America’s B-production class beginning in 1965.
Venice. One car was meant to be used for
development of the street-legal GT350, while the
other two were prototypes for the GT350 competition
version. These R models, as they are referred to
today, were set up to battle against the Jaguar XK-E
and 327-cubic-inch V8-powered Chevrolet Corvette.
The street car was actually the first of the GT350
line, but a mix-up in stamping the VIN tags meant it
actually got serial number 5S003 (S for street), while
the race cars got 5R001 and 5R002 (R for racing).
This would later cause more confusion and affect the
history of 5S003.
By the early 2000s, Hovander had owned several
Boss 302 and Shelby Mustang models, while also
helping the then-owner of 5S003 with some
extensive research on the history of the car. It turned
out that in 1979, because of modifications by the
original owner in 1965, 5S003 was thought to have
originally been a race car, and it was restored as an
R model and used for vintage competition for the
next 13 years.
“In part, the confusion was fueled by production
records that were missing until they were discovered
in Carroll Shelby’s attic in the mid-1980s,” said
Hovander. “After 5R002 was rediscovered in
Monterrey, Mexico, and the original Ford and Shelby
serial numbers were verified from old records, we
realized 5S003 was never supposed to be a factory
R model.”
After its successful racing career that included a
debut victory in the hands of the late Ken Miles at
Green Valley, Texas on Feb. 14, 1965, 5R002
eventually wound up in Monterrey. Following a twoyear search, Mark Gillett of Dallas located the race
car in 1989, purchased it and brought it back to
Texas. Some years later, it was sold to Steve Volk,
owner of the Shelby American Collection museum in
Boulder, Colorado.
To qualify, Shelby would have to get at least 100
production street cars ready by Jan. 1, 1965, with
chassis and suspension upgrades that could not be
changed for the race cars.
“I’ve owned 20 Mustangs including a variety of Boss
and Shelby models over the years, but 5R002 was at
the top of my wish list,” said Atzbach. “I thought it
was a pipe dream because it was in a museum, but
when I heard Steve Volk was selling it in early 2010,
I quickly made a deal and bought it.”
Three white K-code 1965 Mustang fastbacks with the
stock Hi-Po 271-horsepower, 289-cubic-inch V8
engine were delivered from the San Jose, California
assembly plant to the Shelby American shop in
Atzbach currently owns 11 Shelby Mustangs, a 1970
Boss 302 and 1970 Boss 429. He loves the Shelbys
for the aesthetic design, the performance and the
great early racing history.

After determining 5S003 was in fact supposed to be
the very first street-legal GT350, Hovander sold
another restored GT350 to Atzbach and bought
5S003. He intended to eventually restore it to the
condition it was in when it was first introduced to the
public in early 1965 – the way it appeared in that
factory ad.
After driving the car for about a year and putting
more than 2,000 miles on it the first summer,
Hovander decided it was time to start the restoration.
Bringing it back to its original prototype condition
meant tracking down a lot of nearly 50-year-old
parts, and there were some interesting discoveries
uncovered along the way.
Atzbach and Hovander decided they wanted to have
the restoration of both SFM5R002 and 5S003
completed in time for the celebration of 50 years of
Mustang in April 2014 so the cars could be displayed
together. Jim Wicks, founder of the Mid America
Ford and Shelby Nationals meet became involved in
the restoration process of the two historic Shelbys.
Paint supplier PPG provided the actual formula for
the white finish the cars were sprayed with in 1964,
and both cars were refinished from the same batch,
thus ensuring they would be identical when placed
next to each other. John Brown of Thoroughbred
Restorations in Oklahoma City performed the
restoration of the R model, 5R002, and final
assembly of the street prototype, 5S003. Both cars
were finished side-by-side, to ensure consistency.
5R002 was restored back to the way it looked when
Miles drove it to that first victory. Hovander’s car
looks just as it did when Shelby American designer
Peter Brock drove it during the advertising photo
shoot along Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills,
California. To save time and give the appearance
that more than one car had been built; 5S003 was
equipped with the standard Kelsey-Hayes stampedsteel wheels on the driver’s side and a pair of
prototype Cragar cast-aluminum wheels on the
passenger side.
Only three of the original prototype Cragar wheels
were located during restoration, and two of them are
on the passenger side of 5S003 today, with a pair of
steelies on the driver’s side.
to find original photos of the two prototypes. In early
June, Archives Manager Dean Weber located a box
of negatives from that 1965 advertising photo shoot
of 5S003 that had previously been unidentified.
Those historically significant photos have been
scanned and shared with Hovander and Atzbach.
“I love the whole history of Shelby American – the
cars that were built there, but most importantly, the
people who created them,” said Atzbach. “These
were and are some of the brightest, most energetic,
talented people out there. I’ve had the pleasure of
getting to know many of the original Shelby
American employees who are still with us today, and
I can only say great things about them.”
Atzbach and Hovander debuted their restored cars
together in March 2014 at the Amelia Island
Concours d’Elegance in Florida, then again at the
Mustang 50-year celebration at Charlotte Motor
Speedway in April. After the Mid America meet, they
will appear at six more events this year.
After the tour, Hovander plans to remove some of
the original parts like the 50-year-old Goodyear tires,
spark plugs, radiator hoses and air filter, installing
some modern reproduction equivalents. After
breaking in the engine properly, he plans to carefully
put a few miles on his GT350. Hovander has written
extensively about the original development of the
GT350 on his site,
http://1965gt350mustang.com/history.html.
What about the other Shelby factory team GT350-R
model, SFM5R001? It resides in a private,
undisclosed location somewhere and has not been
seen publicly in years. Ford and Mustang fans
everywhere thank John Atzbach and Mark Hovander
for sharing their passion with the world.
