KONA BLUE –2012 SHELBY GT500

THIS IS THE BEST MUSTANG I HAVE EVER OWNED...

My passion for Fords and Mustangs began in high school. My first car was a 1966 Mustang Coupe with a 289 2V with an automatic. With this car I learned how to repair and modify everything on it and so my passion began. I have owned a total of six different Mustangs, one of the last ones being a 1999 Cobra Convertible with Roush side exhaust and many modifications. This car was my every day driver. I used it to pick up my kids from school and after school activities. My children could always hear me coming because of the loud exhaust. With time, that changed to being just a weekend fun car. Back then, I joined the Southern Arizona Mustang Club which is the longest surviving Mustang club in the continental United States and started going to car shows. While in for a new convertible top, the Cobra was stolen never to be found. Thus the purchase of this Mustang, my 2012 Shelby GT 500 “Kona Blue”, my favorite color. And so the journey begins again to make this car mine with many personal modifications. My wife calls her the princess. This is the best Mustang I have ever owned and more mods on the way.
