WENDY EVERHART TONY THE PONY - 1966 MUSTANG FASTBACK SPRINT 200

THANK YOU DAD FOR A VERY SPECIAL GIFT...

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

I grew up in a home where we were no strangers to classic Mustangs. My Dad and brothers spent countless weekends tinkering with my Dad’s 1966 Convertible and 1966 Coupe. My friends all thought they were cool, but to me, they were just something I wasn’t allowed to touch. One day while visiting my big sister at the restoration shop she worked at, I happened across a yellow car with black interior… and this 14 year-old girl was IN LOVE! I had never seen anything like it before! I ran back to the shop and couldn’t contain my excitement as I asked what it was! That’s where it all started… the first time I laid eyes on a Fastback. My Dad laughed so hard as I gushed about that car! He also admitted that he had always wanted one, but was never able to seal a deal on the right one.

My parents opened Tims’ Rod & Classic shop in 2003, and after an exhaustive interview process, I was hired on as the

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.

Office Manager. Being a young woman in a male-dominated industry isn’t easy, but my Dad raised me to hold my own with my brothers, which prepared me immensely for this challenge. It was at this shop that my brother helped my Dad restore his 1959 Corvette, and my sister helped him restore his 1966 Convertible. I was envious because I wanted the same experience and memories with my father. He taught them so much about the cars that they would one day own and maintain, and that was something that no one could ever take away from them. To my surprise, my Dad finally secured his first Fastback… OUR first Fastback. A beautiful Silver Blue Metallic 1966 Fastback with pony interior. It had its flaws and needed some serious work, but to my Dad and me, it was gorgeous! However, before he and I got a chance to get to work, we were forced to close the doors on Tims’ Rod and Classic.

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!
