THE BLACK LION –2013 MUSTANG GT

I PLAN TO ONE DAY PASS ALONG THE BLACK LION AND MY LOVE AND PASSION FOR MUSTANGS TO MY SONS WHEN THEY GET OF AGE.

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

My Mustang The “Black Lion” has been my best and worst nightmare at times. Now my second owned Mustang, and has probably been the most fun out of all of them. My passion for the love of Mustangs actually started when I was in High School around 17 years old when I used to watch the drag racing show called “Pinks” where people from all over the country would race for slips and bragging rights.

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!

After graduating High school, I joined the Military and life changed for a while, but when I got the first opportunity in 2011, I ended up buying a Black 2010 GT with the 4.6 3 valve motor. When I saw the changes from my body style to the 2013-14 body I was sold. I eventually traded up for my current 2013 Mustang GT. I bought it exactly on December 30, 2013. I took it for a test drive and an hour later was done with the paperwork and out the door with the keys.

The car has come a long way since then, as it is now pushing over 700 horses. It’s supercharged with a built transmission, dual pump fuel system, full exhaust and a bunch of other go-fast goodies. Although it may have the power, the car is still a work in progress and far from done and I find myself constantly changing up something. I would be amiss if I said everything was perfect and there have not been headaches and lessons learned along the way, but that’s car life. To name a few, the car is on its second engine, second fuse block, third clutch and transmission.

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.

My goals for the car have changed several times with life and the different setups, first was a High HP naturally aspirated build now the supercharger build, so I’m not sure what’s in store for it next. The car is fast but now I’m focused on how the car handles. While the Stang is no longer a daily driver, I now enjoy just cruising on the weekends with my family and catching a car show or tack day every now and then. I’ve had lots of fun over the years with both of my Mustangs, lots of time and energy put into each build, and I plan to one day pass along the Black Lion and my love and passion for Mustangs to my sons when they get of age.

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!
