FAST PONY - 2022 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!

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!

My love for Mustangs all started when my brother got an ‘89 LX. It was BEAUTIFUL. I wanted my own so bad, but daddy said I couldn’t have a fast car since I had recently totaled my ‘83 Thunderbird. He did find me a Mustang, though - a ‘93, red, 4 cylinder automatic. I drove it for years. I loved that car even though it wouldn’t get anywhere with a quickness.

Fast forward 20 years and here I am, the proud owner of a 5.0 manual - certainly a Fast Pony. I accidentally stumbled across this California Special on a showroom floor in Memphis when out window shopping for a Mustang. Someone had special ordered this beauty and backed out - leaving room for me to scoop it up just in time.

This is my daily driver, so nothing more than a few cosmetic upgrades at this time. It has rear window louvers, quarter window Eleanor style louvers, and a Gumball shift knob.

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

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!
