Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

The Cleveland isn’t a modified other than a Mallory electronic distributor but like any 4 barrel variety it doesn’t need much. I traded the car in 1997 for a Porsche I had to have. It went to a new owner several years later.

Then in 2019 my friend Dale found the Mustang on marketplace. It had not been driven in years and was in bad shape but I bought it back. It took almost 10 months, over 500 hours, and who cares about the money but I am 16 again.

I bought cars from time to time and I always hoped I would run across one. Many years went by and one day scrolling through marketplace I found one. I was like no way, it’s a Fastback and it was my year 1970. I loved that year !

So I talked to the owner and I said man that’s my dream car ,what kind of a deal can we make. It just so happened that I had a car he loved, a 1975 Ranchero 500, so we made a deal and I came home with my Mach 1. I was so excited we got to work right away putting the 351C together and getting the car on the road.

In a couple of months, I was driving my dream. My goal is to one day finish her, add a new paint job, and so on but

I do drive it and enjoy taking it to car shows, though not as often as when I first got it as it joins a 2021 GT/CS and a 1965 Factory Five Cobra and I do show both of those also.

At shows I give the kids 4” x 6” photos of the car and also let them sit in it and have Mom and Dad take their picture.

LOTS of smiles and thumbs up! A unique feature is the reflective stripes and the BOSS Mustangs came with those.

Basically no mods as it is in original condition though I did add a Shelby gauge pod in the console.

My grandson has the Mustang bug also. It makes me so proud of him. He also loves to cruise with me. So the Mistress is a family thing. Not just something we own. When something happens to me, my grandson will have a 1973 Mustang. It still has work to do so I guess you are never done.
