I have been a Mustang fanatic since I was a child. My dad loved Mustangs, so the hobby was not hard to pick up, and once I got behind the wheel of a V8 powered GT, I never looked back. I’ve owned several generations of Mustang including 3 fox bodies, a New Edge, and a 2010 GT prior to picking up my 2013 new from the dealer. To me, Mustang was the epitome of American Muscle. I enjoy showing, racing, and cruising my Mustang and try to enjoy the Mustang lifestyle to the fullest. I’ve just crossed 95,000 miles with the car, and I’ve enjoyed every single one of them.

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!

This car was built to capture my idea of a perfect Mustang. I grew up always wanting a New Edge Mach 1, but that never came to pass. When I got my 2013, I knew I had the platform to build my vision. I went as far as swapping the entire nose of the car to capture the retro-inspired aesthetic of a classic Mustang, but with all the modern benefits of a 2013 to enjoy. A plethora of parts from the vast aftermarket Mustang world helped me bring that final look together. The car was built to handle the road course, autocross, and a nice Sunday cruise with comfort, style, reliability, and performance. I love having something unique that stands apart from the herd and channels the heritage of the Mustang.

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.
