The Vintage Mustang Club of Kansas City was formed in late 1984 by a small group of Mustang enthusiasts in the suburban Johnson County, Kansas, area who saw the need for such an organization in that part of the city.  In January 1985, the new group enacted its bylaws and held its first election of officers, thus establishing itself as a full-fledged organization.

The idea proved to be one whose time had come, and the club was an immediate success.  In 1986, we became a Kansas non-profit corporation and established our regional affiliation with the Mustang Club of America (MCA).  Since then, we have steadily increased our range of activities and our membership has grown from that original 10 to as many as 160 families.  Today the club is widely known as one of the largest and most active Mustang clubs in the country.

We have been called a support group for Mustang junkies – and there may be some truth to that.   Our real objective is three-fold: first, to promote the ownership and preservation of Ford Mustangs and Shelbys, particularly among the general public; second, to provide an educational forum for the exchange of technical advice and assistance in the purchase, maintenance and restoration of these cars; and third, to generate a spirit of fellowship among Mustang enthusiasts in the Kansas City and surrounding areas.

The club schedules a number of social and educational activities during the year and participates in most of the Mustang and other car shows throughout the region.  The major function of our year is our regional Mustang car show and swap meet.  The two-day event is normally held in mid summer, attracting more than 100 top-quality Mustangs and Shelbys from across a wide region.  Periodically, our club hosts an MCA National Show, which can draw more than 300 cars from throughout the United States and Canada.  In 2001, the Vintage Mustang Club was proud to host the MCA Grand National Show.

The Club has established and maintains good relations with many other Mustang clubs.  One of these is Kansas City's other Mustang club, Mid-America Mustangers who share representation of the Kansas City Region of the Mustang Club of America with Vintage Mustang Club.

Since Vintage Mustang Club was established in the Johnson County area, that is where the club meets and conducts the majority of it's activities.  However, membership is open to any and all Mustang enthusiasts, regardless of residence.  Weather you own a show car, daily driver, project car or no Mustang at all--our only requirement is an interest in the Mustang and an enthusiasm for what the club is doing.

 Whether it is cruise nights, road trips or general meetings, the Vintage Mustang Club means fun.   We’re all proud of our club and know that those who take an active part add immensely to the great pleasure and enjoyment of Mustangs.   And that, after all, is why we came together in the first place.
