STANG Magazine June 2025 Issue by STANG Magazine

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! -

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!

MACHGURU- 2004 MACH 1

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

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

YOU CAN COME BACK EVEN STRONGER.

This is my 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1 nicknamed Machguru. They aren’t just cars.

My love for Ford Mustangs started back in 2019 when I got my first car, a 2002 Mustang V6. Had the best four years building the dream Mustang and going on adventures with it. But that took a heavy halt when it was totaled in 2023 and I didn’t know what to do then. Then because of my heavy love for Ford Mustangs I was grateful and blessed to get myself my dream Mustang, a 2004 Mustang Mach 1.

Everyone always says they’re just cars but to me they’re much more than that. I got my Mach 1 when it was fully stock and so far have done so much since my set back with my first Mustang. Sometimes you can be set back hard but then you can come back even stronger.

NEPTUNE - 1992 FOXBODY

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

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

MY LOVE FOR MUSTANGS WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEART.

The car’s name is “Neptune”, a 92 Foxbody 5.0 with a BBK cold air intake and gt40 intake. It’s a project car we have wanted for two years now. I bought the car when my 99 35th Anniversary was wrecked.

My father and I have worked around the clock getting it rewrapped and running better. We have spent countless hours and money to make her run alot better.

The love of Mustangs was passed down from my grandfather to my father to me. It now has an after market hood and GT tail lights and a front bumper air dam.

Neptune is Satine Navy Blue and Heavy Metalic Black with Chrome Blue side pin stripes with the trident on the hood. It won first place in the Sturgis Mustang Rally.

It was a dream to own a Foxbody and now I have one. From New Edge to Foxbody, my love for Mustangs will never leave my heart.

RAM JAM - 2001 MUSTANG GT

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

IT HAS ALL THE POWER I COULD EVER WANT.

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

This is my 2001 Mustang GT called “Ram Jam.” The car has had many modifications from stock. It has a 4.6 Stoker with Trick Flow everything, long headers and a tricked up exhaust. It also has a racing 5 speed transmission and a 4:10 rear gear. It is also equipped with a Ford Racing intake manifold, Track Max camshafts, and Yukon Duragrip positraction differential. It has all the power I could ever want. Last December, I had the car totally wrapped and Carbon Fiber installed on the hood, top and tail. It has good paint underneath but I wanted to protect it if anything.

Ram Jam attends many local car shows each spring, summer and fall. It also goes on a few club cruises around the Smoky Mountains.I run a FB group called Mustangs of East Tennessee. We currently have over 1.7K Members. A place where anyone in East Tennessee with a Mustang can post pictures of their Mustang and have fun discussing all the builds they have.

These cars are so much fun to drive. I look forward to many more years of doing just that.

SAVE A WARRIOR - 2021 SHELBY GT500

IT SAVED MY LIFE A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO.

This is my 2021 Shelby GT 500 in Velocity Blue. It is all stock for now. I had the black roof wrapped in the Thin Blue Line flag this summer. I am a retired PA Trooper and USAF Security Forces Veteran. I bought the car a little before I retired two years ago.

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

I’ve started doing AutoCross with it up at the Lake Erie Speedway in Erie Co. and I’m planning to get to some tracks next year. This past year I did a track day for Veterans down at Summit Point, West Virginia. It was awesome and for a good cause!

I’m big on helping Veterans and First Responders dealing with Post Traumatic Stress. I am currently an Ambassador for a program called Save A Warrior which is located in Hillsboro, Ohio. To be very blunt it saved my life a little over two years ago. My door number (191) on my car for racing is my Cohort Number.

My job as a Pennsylvania Ambassador is to bring awareness to the veteran and first responder community in Pennsylvania of this program. Part of my position is to seek funding for the seat. It is a 72 hour intensive program. No fishing or hiking. Just getting to the hard stuff and then they provide a solution to the problem. Look them up and help our Veterans! Saveawarrior.org

SHADOWKNIGHT5.0 - 2024 MUSTANG GT

GIRLS CAN ALSO DRIVE FAST CARS TOO!

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

Hi, my name is Sara. I am 31 years old. I live in Florida. I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in graphic design. Photography is a hobby of mine. I enjoy taking photos of my cars. I own this Mustang and a Honda Civic Sport Hatchback 2024. I also enjoy taking photos with my other half’s Mustang. We both match and have a GT.

I have a couple of Mustang friends, and I enjoy taking photos of all of our cars. I wasn’t really into cars until I started dating my boyfriend. We both go to car shows and meets. We are both a car couple. We both drive our cars anywhere we go. This is my first Mustang, and I enjoy driving it. I love driving my Mustang. I love the sound. I have the obnoxious car.

My exhaust is an x-pipe Flowmasters Outlaw axle back active exhaust. I have a lot of mods on my car, and I can’t wait to do more! I post a lot of my Mustang photos on my Instagram ShadowKnight5.0. This car is my second car child. I want to make more Mustang friends in my area. If you read this DM me on Instagram and follow me.

After my parents passed away, I didn’t want to get out and be social but having this car made me a little more social. It allowed me to go out more, take more photos, and get out of my comfort zone. It is amazing what a car can do. Girls can also drive fast cars too! It is not all about these boys!

NOW SHE IS LIKE A DIFFERENT ANIMAL!

This is my 2001 Mustang GT named “White Lightning.” It is equipped with a Flowmaster cat-back exhaust, SR Performance intake plenum, BBK throttle body, Spectre cold air intake, Steeda underdrive pulleys, and tuned by 5 Star Tuning.

I have always loved the New Edge style of Mustangs. When I happened across this beauty, I had to pull the trigger and get it. I plan to restore it to her former glory days and make it show worthy. I am retired from the US Air Force and love to spend my time working on this car and making memories.

I recently added some performance parts and had it tuned by 5 Star Tuning to wake her up. Now she is like a different animal! This build is special to me because I had a New Edge Mustang as a daily driver when I was younger and absolutely loved it. It brings back fond memories and keeps me busy for sure.

WHITE LIGHTNING - 2012 MUSTANG GT

ONCE YOU START A PASSION FOR MUSTANGS, IT IS HARD TO STOP!

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

This is my 2012 Ford Mustang GT Premium. Mods list includes Boss 302 intake manifold tuned by Lund Racing, PMAS cold air intake tuned by Lund Racing, LU 47lb injectors tuned by Lund Racing, JLT V3 oil separator, Speed Daddy long tube headers, catted X pipe, Pypes bomb axle back,S550 Mustang front brake upgrade, Kyb shocks and struts, 1 inch lowering springs, Moog sway bar end links, and 4.10 rear end gears tuned by Lund Racing.

My passion with Mustangs started with my mom telling about the one Mustang she has always wanted which is a 1964 1/2 or 1965 V8 convertible in Caspian Blue with white leather interior and a white top. My late grandfather also once owned a 1994 black convertible Mustang GT with saddle tan leather interior that I would love to find some day. My passion also continued with attending different car shows while growing up and seeing all of the awesome classic and modern Mustangs that made me some day want one of my own. Once my passion for Mustangs started, it was hard to stop! I started with a 96 Mustang GT then owned a 2004 Mach 1. I took automotive classes during high school and some college which also kept my passion going.

The story behind my current 2012 5.0 began on June of 2018 when I bought it from a small Ford dealer in Sigourney, Iowa. When I test drove the Mustang, I fell in love with it and knew I had to have it. When I first laid my eyes on the Mustang, it was a blank canvas that I would be able to build it the way I wanted to. From when I bought it until now, I

have added my own touches to it to make it my own. I just want to continue building it up the way I envision it. I don’t regret finding my current 2012 Coyote that will continue my passion.

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

Hope you all enjoyed reading my story about how my never ending passion with Mustangs got started. I will continue to keep the passion for Mustangs alive for many years to come!

WINGS OF PRIDE - 2022 SHELBY SUPER SNAKE

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

IT IS PAINTED WITH A SIMILAR PAINT SCHEME AS THEIR F-16 AIRCRAFT.

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

Here is my 2022 Shelby Super Snake, otherwise officially known as “Wings of Pride.”

This 2022 Shelby Super Snake is a very special 1 of 1 Convertible Wide Body Speedster Edition. This Super Snake, otherwise known as “Wings of Pride,” was built by Shelby American Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada specifically for the KC Aviation STEM Inc. charity sweepstakes, which raises funds for charities focused on children. I was the winner of the sweepstakes with the drawing being held on December 8, 2023.

Carroll Shelby was well known for his passion for fast cars and fast airplanes, having flown both the B-25 and B-29 bombers during WWII. Equally strong was his compassion for children, especially those with health problems. The “Wings of Pride” Shelby honors Carroll Shelby’s entire legacy and is an incredibly fast and powerful car.

“Wings of Pride” honors the United States Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team so, it is painted with a similar paint scheme as their F-16 aircraft.

This incredible 1 of 1 patriotic livery and 825 horsepower Shelby Super Snake Wide Body Speedster was custom de-

signed and built by legendary Shelby designer Vince LaViolette. An incredible amount of extra detail truly sets this Super Snake apart from all the others.

This Super Snake combines power, performance, and pride.
