STANG Magazine Special Edition: STANG Fans Volume 10 by STANG Magazine

S TANG FANS Volume 10 HONORING OUR

FANS AND THEIR MUSTANGS

M A G A Z I N E

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

into a restoration with new door skins, quarters, cowl, floor boards, windshield, and chrome. The White Pearl paint and painted on black stripes sparkle in the sun. Nanette and Chuck enjoy taking the Mustang to local car shows and driving the car every June to the Carlisle Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania from upstate NY.

We’ve owned her for six months now and we still get giddy when we see her in the driveway or fire her up. With aftermarket cat back Roush exhaust, 20” tires and wheels, a new McLeod RXT 1200 clutch, and an updated infotainment system being the only mods, the rest of this baby is stock through and through. I think I’ll keep her that way for now, just the way God and Carol intended her to be.

upon “Thumper.”

Thumper is a 2006 Mustang GT with a built 4.6 L and a five speed. We are the third owners. Original owner bought the car new and immediately had it disassembled and built the way he wanted it. He sold it to the second owner with 8,000 miles on it. I bought it from him with 28,000 miles on it. Now with around 36,000 miles on it, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy cruising the VA, NC, and TN areas including the Blue Ridge Parkway and Back of the Dragon. She’s been an award winner and featured on Summit Racing’s web page. Hopefully, Thumper (named for it’s loping sound) or as our grandsons call it, Pop’s Race Car, will continue to provide plenty of fun through the years. Mods include FRPP Hot Rod cams, Kooks long tube headers, FRPP cold air intake, Steeda underdrive pulleys,
