BRANDY DOCKERY HELIOS - 2015 MUSTANG GT
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!
WITHIN 24 HOURS I WAS THE PROUD OWNER...
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’m Brandy and I have owned Helios a year now and I’m just as obsessed if not more obsessed than the day I bought him. Truth is I never really saw myself in a Competition Orange GT. I always liked the 2004 Comp Orange Cobras but I’m more of a black paint or Dark Shadow Gray gal. The moment I drove by the lot and my eyes locked in on Helios I had to have him. I was meeting my husband to eat and the first thing I said was well I found my Mustang. Within 24 hours I was the proud owner of this 2015 PP1 and the obsession began and so did the customization.
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!
First I had to order some engine upgrades and make the engine bay look custom. I actually painted all the parts myself and even took a wire brush to remove the red lettering on my chrome caps and painted those Competition Orange. I changed out the front grille, had a custom splitter made to fit the PP1. I have redone so much to Helios and he’s one of a kind. I had him repainted and I redid the interior stitching on the seats orange and the dash. I still have a list of things I would like to add to him but are cars ever truly finished? I’m looking forward to hopefully taking him on his and my first trip to Myrtle Beach Mustang week this year!
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
