TANGELO - 1987 FOXBODY GT

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

ALL OF MY MUSTANG MEMORIES CAME FLOODING BACK WHILE DRIVING HER HOME THAT FIRST TIME.

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.

“Tangelo” is our 1987 Foxbody GT 5.0. My first Foxbody was a white 1983 GT and I had it all through high school and believe me there was always something to do. I have had numerous cars throughout my life, but my memories with my Fox always come out on top. I didn’t have my own garage to work in with my first Fox but I new that when I did, another Fox was coming home. I purchased “Tangelo” in 2019. When I saw her, I knew she was coming home. All of my Mustang memories came flooding back while driving her home that first time.

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 look forward to anytime I can bring her out for a cruise. I know “Tangelo” inside and out. When she is all cleaned up, she shines like a pretty penny under the sun. As with my prior Foxbody, I am always finding something to do. My wish list for “Tangelo” is always growing. I don’t think you are ever truly done with a Foxbody; there is always something to add or improve on. I have no plans to get rid of “Tangelo”. I plan on driving her for as long as I can since there is always somewhere to go. “Tangelo” has brought us a lot of great friends. The Mustang community is a very special group of people. Everybody takes pride in their cars as well as the fellow Mustang owners.

“Tangelo” is basically stock except for a built Ford Performance 306. Other work has been done but it is all behind the scenes that only I know about.

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
