2025
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

MONSTER - 2017 SHELBY GT350
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I CREATED A MONSTER.
My passion for Mustangs started when I bought a 1987 Mustang GT Convertible when I got stationed back stateside from South Korea. I have owned numerous Mustangs since then.
One of my favorite things to do now is to go to car events with my daughter. I created a monster. She loves fast, cool cars. She has one herself now since she turned 16.
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 acquir ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
I currently have a 2017 Shelby GT350 that it is on its third build. It has a built engine sleeved, ported heads, cams, fuel system, 3.8 whipple, tremec swapped T56 magnum XL trans, carbon fiber drive shaft, axels, etc... Last set up made 1136 RWHP on 3.0 whipple. Now it has a 3.8 Whipple and ID1750 injectors. Gotta break in the motor and get it on the Dyno for some numbers and put its new shoes on. Hoping for around 1300 with new build.
Special thank you goes out to Gunny T’s Grabbin Gears for doing the work in putting it all together.

HAPPY CRUISING - 1966 MUSTANG COUPE

My Mustang journey began when I was 18 years old and I bought my first Mustang, a 70 Grande. Many years later, I added a 4th generation Electric Green 35th Anniversary Edition 99 convertible. I was very excited when the 5th Gen was introduced and loved the Grabber Orange offered in 07 and I ordered the V6 direct from the factory.
In 2015, I found a 78 Mustang ll that needed a lot of love. It took many many months, but I was able to do a full frame on restoration and bring back the car that represented its era. Rounding out my collection is a 66 Coupe, and a 2015 50th anniversary edition GT convertible. Happy Cruising!

DAWN BETTON MOM’S BABY - 2009 MUSTANG GT/CS
CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I FEEL A SENSE OF CONNECTION TO HIM.
I have had the opportunity to own three Mustangs since I was 16 years old. The first Mustang I owned was a 1979 model, which was also my first car. The next Mustang, a 1993 GT model, played a crucial role in my driving education, as it was the vehicle in which I learned to drive a stick shift. Currently, I am the proud owner of a 2009 Mustang GT/CS, which I inherited from my father. This vehicle is particularly meaningful to me, as it was previously owned by my father. Every time I drive it, I feel a sense of connection to him.
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 acquir ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
My California Special is a limited edition assembled in Auto Alliance International on 5/29/2008. This vehicle is #4 of a build of 938 convertibles and is #2 of 243 manufactured in performance white for that year.
I am a proud member of the California Special Worldwide Mustang Club and the Mustang Club of Maryland.

WE LOVE THE FREEDOM AND PASSION OF THE STANG COMMUNITY...
My name is Marc Odum and this is my 2025 Mustang RTR Spec 3.
My Mustang passion comes from my wife. I had an 87 LX 5.0 back when I was young. I lost it. I had no other stang until my wife wanted a convertible.
I loved the power and spirt of the car so I bought a 2024 RTR Spec 2 convertible for her last year. I wanted the RTR package too so I bought myself one with a supercharger.
We love our stangs. We love the freedom and passion of the Stang community as well.
Go Tigers!

SALLY ARREDONDO GIR - 2020 ECOBOOST
CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
IT WAS A GIFT TO MYSELF...
I purchased this 2020 Grabber Lime EcoBoost from Temecula Ford for a Christmas present to myself. I picked her up 12/24/20 as a new daily. I was transferring my job at the time to a different city and knew I needed something easier to drive than the 2014 GT I own. It was a gift to myself to remind me that it’s ok to start over. Life isn’t over just because a bad relationship ended.
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 acquir ing this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
I don’t know the exact production numbers of the grabber lime color but I know there isn’t very many in the EcoBoost line for that year. Grabber Lime is a one year color for 2020.
The car is nicknamed Gir (like from Invader Zim) because she’s a cute little menace. Everyone always tells me they love the color of the car and it stands out wherever I go. She’s been everywhere and takes me to/from Vegas quite a few times a year. She’s a great traveling car with all the creature comforts like a big navigation screen, great speakers for music and a soft clutch that doesn’t give me issues in traffic. She brings a smile to my face every day.
I plan to build her into a somewhat personalized not full blown show car in the coming years just so that if I’m out somewhere
and just happen to come across a meet/show I’m not showing up with a completely stock car. She has a few mods on right now but most of that is suspension.
