MY MUSTANG PASSION? SHOWING HER OFF AND BLOWING THE DOORS OFF OF LATER MODEL CARS.

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

“Awesome” is a 1967 C code Coupe that I bought in 1998 as a pre-retirement present to myself when I was stationed at Ft. Carson, CO with the 2/10 SFG(A). At the time, she was completely stock, but complete, running a bit rough, and had her fair share of rust. The majority of the restoration/modification came after I retired in 1999 and moved to San Antonio. All-in-all, it took about 20 years to get her to the point she is today, and I still have a couple ideas I want to incorporate in her.

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!

Mods? Just about everything. The back seat is the only piece that is totally original. The engine block and crank are original to the car with the addition of Edelbrock 2221 roller cam, Comp Cams hydraulic roller rockers, 10:1 compression pistons, Edelbrock performer heads, Edelbrock Accu-Drive cam gear system, and a Milodon windage tray. The original C4 tranny was buffed up with a Monster-in-aBox upgrade kit. The rear end now sports a Ford 9” with posi-track. Ground effects came from Mustang Depot and further emphasize her lowered appearance.

My Mustang passion? Showing her off and blowing the doors off of later model cars. Military passion? Not much anymore. I retired from the military in 1999 as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant.

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.
