STANG Magazine January 2026: Editor's Choice Issue

Page 1


JANUARY 2026

EDITOR’S CHOICE

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

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

DEBRA2 - 1967 ELEANOR

TRIBUTE

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

SHE ALWAYS WANTED A 66 FASTBACK...

My name is Mark Jedynak and I own Debra2, a 1967 Convertible Eleanor tribute car in metallic black with metallic silver stripes. I recently lost my wife Debra to her terminal illness and she always wanted a 66 Fastback and I always wanted a 68 convertible, so I split the difference and got the 67 convertible. Debra was a huge car fanatic and went to cars shows when she could, but as the illness got worse she wasn’t able to go anymore. I got the car after she passed and have been making upgrades to the car with Wilwood brakes, bigger aluminum radiator with brush less fans, new wooden steering wheel and some other miscellaneous items.

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!

Debra2 has a 428ci engine with a Holly 750 double pumper, long tube headers, side exit exhaust, C6 automatic transmission, and looks like Eleanor but a convertible. Debra2 is in the Eleanor World Registry as car #470 and from what I understand there are only 28 convertibles in the registry.

TINA SCHEAFER THE BEAST - 2011 SHELBY GT500

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

NOTHING ELSE COMPARES...

My name is Tina Scheafer and this my 2011 Shelby GT500. I call it The Beast.

My love for Mustangs began with my 2005 V6 red convertible. My husband and I drove that car all over the country, creating unforgettable adventures and meeting so many wonderful friends through our shared passion for the Ford Mustang. That first Mustang was more than a car, it was the start of a journey that shaped my love for the Mustang community and the open road.

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 dream was always to own a Shelby Mustang, and in July of 2018 that dream came true when I bought my 2011 Shelby GT500 red convertible. To this day, every time I turn the key and hear the Shelby roar to life, I can’t help but smile. The power, the sound, the feeling of the open road in a true American muscle car - nothing else compares. It reminds me of where I started, the adventures that brought me here, and the passion that keeps me driving forward.
