CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

COUPE

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

SHE IS FAR FROM DONE BUT THAT JUST GIVES ME AND MY KIDS MORE TIME IN THE GARAGE TO MAKE HER AMAZING.

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.

This is Mabel, a 1970 Mustang Coupe. Mods include a complete interior, fuel injection, bigger cam, aluminum heads, Wilwood brakes all around, and billet pistons.

This was my very first classic car that I have owned. I have owned her since I was 19 years old. I was in the military when I got her. I’ve taken her with me everywhere when I was in the military and I will keep doing so.

In the military, I was a Heavy Equipment Operator in the Air Force. I have always loved fixing and operating ma - chines and this car has taught me a lot about cars in general. It pushed me to become a Master Tech with Ford. This car will also be the stepping stone for me and my children to learn about cars. She is far from done but that just gives me and my kids more time in the garage to make her amazing. To the horse!

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!

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!
