SHELBY - 2007 SHELBY GT500

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

My car is a 2007 Shelby GT500 that I just purchased it a couple of months ago. Three to be exact. I have a parts pile I’m accumulating, but for now she’s bone stock with 21,000 miles. I transferred a muffler delete from my prior 08 Mustang GT but that’s about it. I haven’t quite come up with a nickname for her yet so we will just refer to her as Shelby.

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 really appreciate it for what it is. The Shelby heritage is unlike any other. I remember playing video games as a kid that had this exact car in it. Growing up, I remember seeing these cars going to Mustang/MCA events and it instantly became a dream car. I’ve owned various years and Mustangs run deep in my family, however the Shelby overall, in stock form, has kept a constant smile on my face since the day I brought her home. These cars were meant to be driven and it really shows on those good PA back roads. Carroll Shelby really knew what he was doing, a true legend, and I simply love the car and what Mustangs mean to me and so many others that I’ve met. Cars like these are what brings people together and we need more of that in this world!

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.

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
