WE ARE GO I NG

BANANA S WITH MUS TANGS HONORING OUR YELLOW MUSTANGS

M A G A Z I N E

Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

My uncle was the second owner of my car. He gave her to me in 1985. My Dad fixed her up for me to drive to high school and college. After I was married and had kids, my husband surprised me with having her redone from top to bottom. During the summer months, we would load Baby up with the three kids and drive to town for ice cream. We put a 305 crate SVT engine in her, short headers, and chrome galore.

When I sold my 2002 GT back in 2012, I was just driving some regular cars but I really missed driving a Mustang. Then in 2015 my daughter purchased the new S550 Mustang Ecoboost in red.

I got my 2003 Mach 1 in 2016 after graduating from high school. My parents told me if I got all of my college paid for, they’d get me a car as a gift. I picked it up bone stock from the original owner (sans muffler delete) and have been slowly modifying it with all of the best functional parts that I have wanted since seeing them in Mustang magazines. The car gets driven hard on the street and track but is well cared for. I will never sell it! It has a Maximum Motorsports suspension, Ben Calimer 26 spline TR3650, 31 spline rear / 4.10 gears, and 4 piston Brembos.

Its bold color and sleek design exude confidence and turn heads wherever I go. Every time I slide behind the wheel, the powerful engine and smooth handling give me an exhilarating rush of adrenaline. The Mustang symbolizes freedom, adventure, and the pursuit of my dreams, making every drive an unforgettable experience. It is not just a car, but an extension of who I am, bringing me joy, excitement, and a sense of purpose. Mods include a Borla catback exhaust system and K&N air intake.

my favorites. In 2003, I was living outside Detroit, MI and saw the new 2003 Mach 1 at the 2002 Woodward Dream Cruise. I fell in love with that Mach 1 but was unable to purchase one. I then met a guy in a local Mustang club in 2009 that had a 2004 Mustang Mach 1 in Screaming Yellow. I was drawn to his car as it reminded me so much of that 1971 Mach 1 I loved in high school. Over the years we became close friends and I was always taking pictures of his car and even got to drive it a time or two. To my surprise in May 2022, he decided to sell it and offered it to me. I had another project car I was working on at the time, but I quickly sold it and bought his Mach 1. There’s just something about those yellow Mach 1 Mustangs!

I built the engine myself and completed all of the work to the car with some help from friends and family. Now I currently own two Mustangs and am always on the lookout for another. The car has an On3 turbo kit with a 76/75 turbo, a Glens Performance 03/04 tank with Fore Innovations fuel system, Ford Performance injectors, Team Z Motorsports K member, caster camber plate, and bump steer kit, Maximum Motorsports irs tie rods/bump steer kit, subframe connector, sway bar end links, Kenny brown diff brace, and the engine is an all forged rotating assembly with Modular head
