LEE KRUSE MUSTANG SALLY - 1965 MUSTANG FASTBACK

I PUT A LOT OF TIME AND SWEAT IN THIS SWEET BABY OF MINE...

I always had a passion for Mustangs. When I was 16 I saw this 65 Fastback and knew it had to be mine. I fell in love with this 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 brother side swiped me leaving the yard one night and had it repaired but they could not match the paint so he repainted the entire car in blue. I drove it for years like this. I dated my wife with this car. I parked it and put it in storage for many years.

I worked hard to save up enough money to restore her. I dismantled the entire car. I had a friend weld in the new panels and another friend that worked in a body shop painted it the original color. I put it back together and reupholstered the seats.

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 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.

I put a lot of time and sweat in this sweet baby of mine but it was all worth it. I love my Mustang Sally.

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!
