Brief History of the Muscle Car Club

The first club meeting was held on 17th of Feburary 1994. There were 14 members
present 1 absent.

This meeting was held at Barry Gordon's home with Barry and Ross Mischewski, contacting fellow Ford Muscle Car enthusiasts and getting together to form the Ford Muscle Car Club.
Within the first year of the club being formed the club grew to 47 members, 22 falcon owners and 23 mustang owners 2 members did not own a muscle car at the time but were ford enthusiasts.

The club grew from this to become well respected in the local area and then country wide with members turning up to a host of activities put on by other clubs ie all ford days, drag racing, events at Taupo race track, the ford muscle car club even had a club day at Baypark motor race circuit (thanks to Peter Hanna) before it closed.

The Ford Muscle Car Club took over the running of the All Ford Day held in Putururu in March each year and brought it to Mt Maunganui. The first all ford day hosted by the club was in March 2000.

Once a year we have had a track day mostly held in Taupo, these track days have been a great day out for for club members getting some track experience in handling of their cars.

Always getting together to watch Bathurst, this year the club will be at Worlds End Sports Cafe at Fraser Cove Tauranga to watch the great race on the big screens.
On the Saturday prior there is a car show Ford vs that other brand that races there .....whats it called again? ;-)

In 2004 the club changed its name to include FPV owners which opened up to not only late model falcons but to anyone who owned a ford performance vehicle, escorts, sierra cosworths, in fact nearly anything with that prized blue oval on it, along with our already large number of falcons, mustangs and ac cobras the club is growing again.

The club holds a meeting on the first Wednesday night of each month at the Oceanside Street Rodders clubrooms (Cherokee Place Mt Maunganui) starting at 7.30pm.

We generally have an event or gathering once a month, with the All Ford Day (Blake Park Mt Maunganui) on the first Sunday of March. We also have a gymkhana at Baypark twice a year, a club day at Taupo Raceway (when the flag drops the bull...it stops?) tenpin bowling, indoor karting, plus the odd visit to a winery, along with anything else that may come to mind.
