CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

CHELBY-ANN –1969 MUSTANG COUPE

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

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.

IT FIT LIKE A GLOVE AND WAS BUILT FOR CRUISING.

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 purchased my Mustang for $400 back in June 2005. The “plan” was to have her rebuilt in three years! Long story short, it took ten. The first thing I did was name her after my wife. Mich’ls nickname is Chelby and her middle name, Ann. I believe the number one rule for a project like this is to make sure your significant other is on board. How could I go wrong by naming the car Chelby-Ann. All of the work except the final body work and paint was done by yours truly.

The Classic Mustang has always been a dream of mine. You don’t see many coupes on the road these days. Once she was complete and I sat in it, it fit like a glove and was built for cruising. The dream was complete. Now I show it several times a year as well as taking her to cruise-ins. We love meeting new people and hearing all the stories.

Mods include Shelby side scoops, ‘98 Mustang bucket seats, 2013 ish 17” Mustang rims, 3:55 gears, 4 speed toploader, and dual exhaust with Magnaflows.
