Hey Guys,

I have a pretty nice 1973 Mustang convertible that has been sitting in the garage for a while...

My father has told me to either use it or lose it so I am going to try to use it come this fall. Unfortunately, I am a dorm-room-living Colorado State University student, and cannot park it in any sort of garage.

The parking police permitting, I plan to use a good car cover to protect it when it is not getting used. I am hoping that if I use it in the fall and spring, my father will be kind enough to keep it during the harsh winter months.

So I am in need of a good car cover to protect my baby from the elements: wind, dust, rain (not much), and maybe a little snow. Basically, I need decent protection from the outdoors.

If you have any recommendations for a specific car cover to use, please let me hear them! I really need to make this work, and want the best protection for my mustang.

Thanks

Ive had two differnt covers but both were made with the Noah fabric. I think my first was from covercraft and my new one is from wolf. They have a pretty good custom fit......Even through the rain and crappy weather the car only needs a quick dusting to look great, but thats after over a year of sitting outside covered...Oh I had to buy a new cover after 3 year since some local cats used my first cover as a bed and scratching post..

I have a Wolf Noah for my 69 and fit is excellent. I highly recommend it.
Car is parked outside in the driveway from march to november and Danish weather is like coastal Canada. Plenty of rain and occational snow.

great... I really appreciate the suggestions. I have two main questions now.

What is the difference between covercraft and wolf brand Noah fabric custom covers?
and....
What is the cheapest place I can purchase these covers?

Thanks again for all of your help!

For a basic NOAH cover call up summit racing, last one I bought came with a free cable lock.... price is around 160 but may be more for a 73...One of those companies offer the cover in differnt colors and can add graphics off your choice. My first one had FoMoCo printed on the front and back. The wolf just say wolf on the front..same fit and look.

Hey, If you could, define basic NOAH cover...

Are the different companies making covers with the NOAH fabric(?) all about the same? Is their a non-basic version?

EDIT: Also, what is the difference between these three (different skus and none of them say 1973 mustang) Basically, is this what I need?:
