CHRIS GOUX CRAZY HORSE –1966 MUSTANG

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

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

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’ve owned this little pony since 2006 and it started out as an original six cylinder car, all original from the first owner. I immediately dove into this car thinking I would just restore it and paint it but no, as I have almost 40 years of building hot rods of all makes and models, I wanted to redo the pony with a different flavor. I did some body mods and wrapped the body in new panels before the Pearl Purple and Black urethane paint was applied. I completely rebuilt the chasis and drivetrain and interior so that the car is an awesome cruiser. I built this car in loving memory of “Big Eddy”, my uncle who has been building hot rods with me for the past 25 years. This feature is dedicated to him.

Mods include a 302 5.0 Ford, 4 speed AOD transmission, all stock interior, all new suspension with Ford Granada disc brakes on front, tied frame with frame connectors, custom tear drop Thunderbolt hood, Shelby front valence, and all built at my shop at home at “Goobers Hot Rod Shop.” Special thanks to Dave Skiptunas over all the years and my master camera man Mark Tibor.

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!
