1979 Mustang Club of America Eastern Nationals
May 25-27, 1979
Eastgate Center, Chattanooga, Tennessee
This MCA Eastern National was hosted by the Scenic City Mustang Club in Chattanooga, TN. This was my very FIRST MCA National Mustang show as a participant instead of a spectator. The 1st Tennessee Regional Group met on I-81 just south of Kingsport and we all drove down together. Those were the days!! Nothing like seeing a 20+ vintage Mustangs rolling down the highway together!! And I'm not talking just coupes...we had some serious muscle in this Mustang train...like a 1969 Boss 429, not one but TWO 1971 Boss 351's, big block Mach 1's, and more.
You'll have to excuse the picture quality...remember this was 1979 and I was 16 years old...taking pictures with a C-110 instamatic camera...not a 35mm Nikkon or Cannon.

| 1967-68 Mustang Fastback Class. If you had one, this was your class. This was long before Concours Trailered, Concours Driven, Thoroughbred, Unrestored, etc classes!! Stock Classes and Modified Classes were the only distinctions. | Yes, that's my unrestored 1968 Mustang GT Fastback being judged. I won 2nd Place in this class!! |
