RANDY HENSLEY MILLIE - 1965 MUSTANG

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!

My 1965 Ford Mustang has been in my family since the day it was driven off the lot from my grandfather in June 1965. Two weeks later my grandparents went across country to CA from VA to see their older son. My grandfather had the car until his health declining in 2001 with a stroke. Nine years later he passed away. He told my Dad sometime after his stroke that he wanted the car to remain in the family after he passes on and that my Dad will have it next and then to me. My Dad had it until I lost him in 2015 which he had in his name for 11 years. I promised my Dad I would keep it running as long as I can before he died. I inherited the car two months later in November 2015 and since then I still have it and to this day she still runs. “Millie” is what I named it in 2017.

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 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!

be happy and proud up there somewhere in the skies looking down!

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!

Millie came with a 289 engine, V8 which is original as well as its Wimbledon White paint. It also came with factory AC (not working), remote driver’s mirror and its cruise o’ matic, and AM radio (now a Mustang FM/AM/Aux digital radio). It is always garage kept. In 2014 my Dad and I enrolled the Mustang in our local cruise in and to this day I still take it to cruise ins.

Today I believe that my grandfather and my father would
