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

HIS LOVE FOR HIS COUNTRY, HIS LOVE FOR HIS MUSTANGS, AND HIS LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY NEVER WAVERED.

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!

At 18 years old, my father bought his first Mustang, a 1967 Fastback 427 and from then on there was no turning back. Mustangs became a part of his DNA. A year later he joined the military and was sent to flight school and then Vietnam and was forced to sell that car. He loved and fought for our country through three tours of duty in Vietnam and was shot down three times in country. He was a proud Veteran until the moment he passed away, never missing an opportunity to thank every other Veteran he saw for their service. His love for his country, his love for his Mustangs, and his love for his family never wavered.

Larry Brooks was a U.S. Army Veteran CW3 who served three tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot who flew Hunter Killer team missions. Sadly he passed away on August 5th, 2022 from kidney cancer related to Agent Orange.

His car is a 2020 GT Performance Pack, 10 speed auto equipped with Rohana red wheels, Nitto tires, rear seat delete, color matched rear seat roll bar, Eibach sportline springs, Ford Performance X pipe, Koni STR front struts, Koni rear shocks, and Acme Coyote badges by Badge King.

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.

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!
