CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

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 “FOR SALE” PAPERWORK FLEW OFF THE WINDSHIELD!

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

Growing up, my dad wanted to make sure my brother and I didn’t have a boring childhood. He was a professional drag boat racer and he raced the one and only competition flat bottom big block Ford. As a result of the thrill and adrenaline rush, my passion and drive was shifted straight into Ford Mustangs. I bought my first Mustang in the dark. My dad and I found a black 1986 Foxbody Mustang with dual headlights and t-tops in an auto trader magazine. I was amazed by the function of the glass t-tops, with the flip of a handle I could turn the car into a convertible! The unbreakable bond between my Foxbody Mustang and I started 27 years ago. Today the unbreakable bond continues with my 2019 Mustang GT. My dad and I were on the hunt for local Mustangs for sale. We came across a dealership that had a Velocity Blue Mustang GT showcased. As soon as I saw the the 19” deep dish staggered wheels and metallic blue paint, I was ready to take it for a spin. As we were getting ready to take the car out for a drive, I fired it up and the whole garage roared. While we were out test driving, the “for sale” paperwork flew off the windshield! Destiny had been determined! When we returned to the dealership, I looked at my dad with a huge smile on my face and he knew my mind was made up. My never ending passion for Mustangs still continues on. I enjoy sharing it with other enthusiasts!

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!

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!
