DOC - 1966 MUSTANG COUPE
THE SERVICE SAVED MY LIFE AND ALLOWED ME TO OBTAIN A CAREER AFTER RETIREMENT...
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I bought my Mustang over 17 years ago and have completely restored it as a RESTOMOD. When I was a teenager, this was the car I wanted but my family could not afford. I restored and modified the Mustang in the fashion I would have as a teenager. I’ve really enjoyed owning a Mustang as it is a very tight community and many options for outfitting and improving.
I’m a retired United States Air Force Captain, where I served as a Hospital Administrator. I started my service as an enlisted Airman, but was commissioned after receiving my Bachelor’s degree. The Service saved my life and allowed me to obtain a career after retirement for which I’ve been very successful.
I owe everything I’ve accomplished to the Medical Service Corp (MSC) as it prepared me for a career after my retirement from Service. But you never leave Service and that is true for me. I served on a Non-Profit Board which was created to help
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!
Veterans get the services they deserve in the county I lived, in Maryland. I’ve also served on the Board, as the Member Services Coordinator, of the USAF MSC Association.
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.
“Doc” is a 1966 Mustang Coupe equippd with a V8 302, Holley 4150 570CFM Street Avenger 4B carb, C4 transmission with Shift Package, 9” Ford small bearing rear, HEI ignition, Performance distributor, Holley high performance mechanical fuel pump, Edelbrock headers, and Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fan. The interior has a TMI Sport II Pony interior, TMI custom center console, and red carbon fiber style headliner.
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!
