ANTHONY BARRANCO CHARLOTTE - 2016 SHELBY GT350

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

I ENJOY THIS CAR AT ITS ABSOLUTE LIMIT. IT IS TRULY A

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.

SPECIAL CAR AND WILL GO DOWN AS A GENERATIONAL ICONIC CAR.

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

My passion for Mustangs and Shelbys goes back to 2007 when my father brought home a 2007, Vista Blue Shelby GT500. A few years later, we took the car out to Shelby America in Vegas to have the car converted to a SuperSnake and signed by Carroll himself. I ended up learning to drive manual on that very 800 horsepower Supersnake. fast forward five years later, the S550 chassis came out and a few months later I saw the GT350 was released. I owned a 2015, Race Red Mustang GT but I knew at that very moment, the GT350 was the perfect car for me.

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 STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

The black GT350 I currently have was the very first GT350 I ever saw in person or drove. The car was purchased by my father in 2016 and we drove it around and broke it in before he took it home to Ohio. He owned it for three years before he sold it to me.

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!

In that time that he owned it, he tracked it at Mid Ohio and Hallet Motorspeedway during Mid America Ford. He also had the car transported to Europe in June of 2017 and was 1 of 4 vehicles to be a part of the Shelby Europe Re-Run which
