From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was pure Mustang passion. The car park and surrounding streets were packed with everything from concours-level classics to tough street-driven builds, creating a walk-through display that perfectly captured the evolution of the Ford Mustang. For Aussie Garage, it was the perfect setting to showcase the depth of Mustang culture in Australia while celebrating a business that has become a cornerstone of the local scene.

The variety on display was next level. Early K-Code Mustangs sat proudly alongside Shelby GT350s and GT500s, while rare and highly sought-after models like the Boss 302 and Mach 1 drew constant crowds. Fastbacks and convertibles showcased timeless American muscle styling, while late-model Mustangs powered by modern Coyote engines proved that the Mustang legacy is still very much alive and evolving.

What made this event stand out wasn’t just the cars — it was the people. Mustang owners travelled from all over Perth and regional WA to be part of the celebration, swapping stories, comparing builds, and appreciating the shared love of the Ford Mustang. Events like this highlight why Aussie car culture continues to thrive, with generations of enthusiasts united by horsepower, heritage, and craftsmanship.

At the heart of it all is Paul’s shop, American Auto Parts – Mr Mustang, a name synonymous with Mustangs in Western Australia. For 55 years, Mr Mustang has supported owners with parts, knowledge, and genuine passion for the brand. This customer appreciation day was a true reflection of that legacy — not just a show, but a thank-you to the community that has supported them for decades.

Aussie Garage was proud to be on the ground, capturing interviews, filming rare builds, and soaking up the energy from the heart of the event. Whether it was a perfectly restored classic or a modern performance monster, every Mustang had a story, and every owner had pride in sharing it.

If you’re a fan of Mustang, Ford Mustang history, and authentic Australian car events, this celebration was one for the books. Make sure you check out our full video coverage on the Aussie Garage YouTube channel, including our featured K-Code Mustang ride, and let us know which Mustang was your favourite — Shelby, Boss, Mach 1, or a clean fastback.

The post 55 Years – Mr Mustang Celebrates! appeared first on Australia's Home of Classic Cars, Muscle Cars & Automotive Events.

The event, proudly hosted by the WA Chapter of the FE-FC Holden Car Club, brought together a stunning lineup of vehicles that included everything from sedans and station wagons to utes and ultra-rare panel vans. It was a nostalgic celebration of Aussie motoring history – and the crowd turnout reflected the love for these homegrown legends.

Star Cars and Special Stories

Throughout the event, Aussie Garage had the chance to catch up with some of the proud owners and get the stories behind the steel:

• Julius shared the journey of his beautifully restored FE Holden Special, bringing it back to life with stunning attention to detail.
• Graham, who we originally interviewed at the Summernats in Canberra, brought his FC Holden Special to Perth for another round of admiration.
• Gray had a a truly rare factory-windowed FC Holden Panel Van – a standout that had car buffs buzzing.
• Gary showcased a classic FC Holden Station Wagon, and
• Lester rolled in with his sleek FC Holden Panel Van, completing a lineup that showed just how diverse and dynamic these models can be.

A Blend of Classic and Custom

While many rides stayed true to original specs, there was also a strong presence of resto-mods that took things to the next level. From V6 conversions to supercharged setups, and even one roaring 350 Chevy V8, the creativity and craftsmanship were on full display.

Whether you’re a purist or a performance fan, there was something for everyone to admire – and plenty of engine talk to go around.

Community, Chrome & Camaraderie

What really stood out was the community spirit. The WA Chapter pulled out all the stops to deliver a top-tier event, giving members from across the country a warm welcome and a platform to celebrate their passion. The vibe was friendly, the chrome was gleaming, and the shared love for Aussie muscle was real.

If you’ve never been to an FE-FC Nationals before, this event proved why it’s a must-see on the calendar for classic car fans. Perth delivered big time – and we can’t wait to see what the next one brings.
