CALIFORNIA LOVE - 1968 MUSTANG CALIFORNIA SPECIAL

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.

BEING IN LOS ANGELES, THE CAR HAS APPEARED IN MOVIES, MUSIC VIDEOS, AND PHOTOSHOOTS FOR FASHION BRANDS SUCH AS ABERCROMBIE & FITCH AND AMERICAN EAGLE.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

I am originally from Australia and I always dreamed about owning a Mustang but never thought it would be a reality, until I ended up here in the United States.

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!

I bought this Mustang as a barn find when my daughter was born. The previous owner didn’t really know much about the California Special as it was her father’s. He was the second owner.

It has always been in California and I’ve been restoring it to what it is today. Eventually, my daughter (she’s 4) will have it as her own and will have a classic to hold on to.

Being in Los Angeles, the car has appeared in movies, music videos, and photoshoots for fashion brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle.

Mods include a 302 V8, C4 transmission, original power steering and A/C, Wimbledon White in color, Painless wiring harness, Halo headlights, LED conversion, RetroSound head unit and Apple Car Play, power windows, power door locks, Magnum 500, and originality verified - number 121 off the San Jose Lot in 1968.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
