CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

KARLA - 2010 ROUSH 427R

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

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.

Sitting At Carlisle Ford Nationals And Just Hanging Out

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

This is my 2010 Roush 427R nicknamed “Karla”. It is my sixth Mustang. My first was a 71 Mach1 when I was about 19. I was hooked ever since. Since then I have had a 79, 2003, 2004, and 2006.

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 was looking at a Shebly GT and it was going to be my 50th birthday present, but I went into Fette Ford in New Jersey and saw this Roush in the showroom. The salesman asked me if I wanted to drive it and I said nope. I did though and two days later it was in my possession. It just hit 28,000 miles. I am the original owner and I love this Mustang.

The thing I love about the car hobby and Mustangs are the people you meet at a show. Everything else goes away and it’s all about cars. My brother has a 2011 Shelby and it’s something we get to share as brothers. Sitting at Carlisle Ford Nationals and just hanging out having a cigar is the best feeling in the world.
