MATT MCCABE THE BULLITT –2019 BULLITT 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 HAVE SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMY NOW FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS...
My Mustang passion started when I was a young teenager when I got my first Mustang. It was a 1968 Mustang Coupe that was red with a vinyl top. My father bought it as a restoration project for us. We finished alot of the body work but we never finished it because I left for the Army 12 days after I graduated high school. I never had the time to finish it as I was away, but I was able to get my own Mustang in early 2020: The BULLITT.
I was shopping around for a Mustang when I came across it on the showroom floor in Nashville. The sales associate asked me if I knew about the BULLITT, which I replied that I did since I was a Mustang enthusiast. I am the first and only owner of it and love driving it.
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!
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.
I have served in the U.S. Army now for almost 14 years as a Vehicle Operator and have served as a Squad Leader, Section Sergeant, Platoon Sergeant, and am currently an Instructor. Teaching young students to drive is a rewarding and exciting process. Experiencing the evolution of my driving style and skill has been a great journey and value sharing knowledge with the next generation, hoping they share the same passion to become the best drivers they can be.
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!
Mods for the Bullitt include JLT 2.0 oil catch cans, Steeda ultralite low-profile chassis jacking rails, PowerStop ceramic brake pads, and King Avalon Armor Shield IX ceramic coating.
