SAPPHIRE - 2017 MUSTANG
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
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.
ADDING THE WRAP WAS JUST SOMETHING ELSE I COULD DO TO KEEP HIS MEMORY ALIVE.
My 2017 V6 Mustang Convertible has been my pride and joy for four years now. Clearly, I am late to the Mustang scene but after raising kids, a couple of divorces, a few cross-country moves, the timing was right! Two test drives and I was smitten.
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!
The deck lid is wrapped with a tribute to my brother Mark, a Cobra helicopter pilot lost during the war in Vietnam. In my 2014 memoir Dear Mark, a few pages in readers could see how much I loved and missed Mark even after 50 years. Adding the wrap was just something else I could do to keep his memory alive. Following the initial wrap, I took it a step further and had my grille pony and radiator cover hydro-dipped in old Glory.
By the way, you are never too old to get your first Mustang. My mother-in-law got hers at 80 years old. I wasn’t quite that old.
My Mustang has a few minor mods including Flow Master Exhaust, Kenwood DMX7706S, wrap from MC Wraps & Signs out of Holly Springs, GA, and parts hydro-dipped in Clinton, South Carolina by Hydrodun llc.
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
