CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

KILLER BEE - 2003 MUSTANG GT

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

MY WIFE BEGGED ME TO LEAVE THIS CAR ALONE...

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.

My first Yellow Mustang was a Hot Wheels 1979 Mustang that I got in my Christmas stocking around 1980. I carried that car every single place I went for as long as I can remember. In 1987 My Uncle/Godfather got a 1987 LX 5.0 in Medium Yellow and I can remember constantly washing that car and going for ice cream with it. Eventually I ended up working in a body shop at a Ford dealer, where I still reside today and that is where I found this 2003 Mustang GT Convertible. At the time I had just sold a 1997 SVT Cobra for my wedding. I still had a 1994 Mustang GT and a 2013 5.0 Mustang GT but chopped up the 94 and put a cage in it, then eventually turned it into a full blown drag car. That was my wife’s “beach car” and although she did enjoy the 2013 Coyote car, she liked convertible life.

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!

and was “most consistent”. I remember the furious phone call from my wife when she asked where I was and I told her “at the track” and after a brief pause (which felt like decades) she exclaimed “I’m going to kill you if you break my car”. After that the car has only been used to promote my six year old son’s auto detailing business, with his own line of polishes in the works.

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 2022!

TIME VIDEO AND PHOTO

That’s when the 2003 GT Convertible showed up at our dealership as a trade in, and I immediately “borrowed it” and hid it at my house until the paperwork was finalized. My wife begged me to leave this car alone, which I have for the most part, with only a handful of modifications. Eventually this car will have a naturally aspirated Coyote swap and continue to be our Cruise Night and Beach car.

This car has never seen rain or snow and has only been on the dragstrip once in its whole life, when I blew the transmission in the 94 Drag car and wanted to participate in the Mustang Vs Corvette Shootout. The car won three rounds
