BIG BOSS - 1969 MUSTANG FASTBACK

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

THE MEMORY OF MY GRANDFATHER WILL LIVE ON THROUGH THIS CAR.

I purchased this Mustang from my Grandpa right out of high school. It was a complete restoration from ground up as it was sitting in 5” of mud with a six foot tree growing through the windshield. All body panels are the OE steel other than quarter panels, floor pans and some metal. I painted it Grabber Green with all Black interior. The car was completely wired by Brad Barshinger with a digital MSD 6AL box and Leash nitrous controller and is fed by a MagnaFuel ProStar 500 electric fuel pump.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

The car is built for heads up racing while it also sees its fair share of car shows and street miles. It has become a legendary icon in the Tri-state area drag strips. It has won multiple awards at car shows while also collecting cash at the strip. The 1969 Mustang has always been my dream car and I happened to be lucky enough to own one. The memory of my Grandfather will live on through this car.

It is equipped with a 1050 Pro Systems dominator, 545ci BBF with NOS Pro Sho, Fogger Nitrous System (built by Brad Barshinger/Barshinger Racing Engines), all steel panels except hood, custom designed and built front suspension/chassis bt Denny Crabill, custom built 3.5” X-pipe exhaust, Calvert complete rear leaf spring setup, 9” rear with
