STANG Magazine November 2026: Editor's Choice Issue
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

THE WOUNDS THAT NEVER FULLY HEAL...
This is my 2021 Mustang GT Premium, “Old Glory.”
Old Glory is a 500whp NA military themed Mustang GT that represents ten national and local military charities supporting Veteran PTSD and Suicide Awareness.
As a United States Army combat veteran and Mustang enthusiast, I wanted to do something to create awareness for military veterans struggling with PTSD and suicidal ideations.
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!
Old Glory is wrapped to look like a combination of vintage and modern fighter planes. The vehicle is distressed to represent the old wounds that never fully heal from fighting in battle.

MAKING IT A RARE COLLECTOR’S CAR...
Roush built the P-51A Mustang as a high-performance tribute to the legendary WWII P-51 Mustang fighter plane. Driven by Jack Roush’s personal passion for aviation and to showcase cutting-edge supercharger technology, he wanted to create the most powerful, track-focused Mustang yet, featuring a fortified engine and aerospace-inspired custom elements like unique badging and leather work. The red and yellow checkered patch was derived from the 357th Fighter Group, who flew P51 Mustangs in WWII. It was designed to mirror the fighter’s agility and dominance, using advanced forced induction for extreme power. Only 151 examples of the 2008 Roush P-51A Mustang were built, making it a rare collector’s car. This is #54 of 151 built in 2008.
I have owned this 2008 Roush P-51A Mustang for about a month. I live in Edmond, Oklahoma. This is my second Mustang. I also own a 2008 California Special.

THE BEAST - 2010 ROUSH STAGE 3
A SOUL MEANT FOR OPEN ROAD...
The story of my 2010 Roush Stage 3 starts early in 2008 when it was ordered by Ford Marketing and produced very early in 2009 and given a VIN number of 244. After the car was delivered to Roush it was whisked deep within the walls of Roush Engineering. While the rest of the world saw the 2010 Mustang as a finished product, this specific car was a rolling laboratory. It was the “Engineering Mustang,” a test mule of sorts. Engineering used this car to prototype, hood hinges, exterior decals, interior door panels, trim, and engine and transmission development. It spent some time during the summers on the dynamometer, teaching engineering interns the ropes of raw power while engineers used it to forge the future of the Roush Mustang platform. Due to the rowdy nature of this car the engineering team named the car, “The Beast.”

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!
In 2012, as Ford discontinued 4.6 3 valve in Mustangs and introduced the new 5.0 engine, Roush posted a simple ad on an internal employee bulletin board to sell the engineering Mustang. My brother, who was working at Roush at the time, jumped at the chance. He spent five years daily-driving this piece of engineering history before passing the torch to me in 2017.
After flying into Detroit Airport and spending the weekend with my brother I drove the car home. The 12 hour drive from Detroit back to Minneapolis was my true initiation. I let the “Beast” run, feeling every bit of the over 500HP. Because this was an engineering car, it came loaded with “impossible” features - things Roush didn’t offer to the public until years later, or never offered at all. It currently wears 2012 graphics and badging on a 2010 body, a Tremec 6060 6-speed manual, a custom 6-speed shift knob, and unique black accents that make this Stage 3s from that year look common by comparison. There is other tell-tale signs of its engineering past un-
der the hood with stickers with handwritten notes written by development engineers to document different changes that were made.
We’ve kept the Beast’s spirit of development alive. To better handle the 6-speed, the rear gears were swapped from 3.55 to 3.73s. I upgraded the exhaust with a BBK X-pipe to complement that signature Roush off-road growl, and the rear wheels were widened by an inch to fit 315 tires - a necessary move to keep all that horsepower pinned to the pavement.
It’s a car with a pedigree meant for a museum, but a soul meant for the open road.It’s been driven, it’s been tested, and every time I hit the gears, I’m not just driving a car - I’m driving the very engineering Mustang that plastered smiles on the engineers who developed it and helped define what a modern Roush Stage 3 Mustang could be.

IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT...

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 name is Alex Holland and this is my 2017 Shelby GT350. The car is Lightening Blue with white racing stripes and body code is H-4813. I grew up playing the Grand Turismo games when I was a kid. My favorite car was the 2000 Mustang Cobra R and has been my dream car ever since. My first Mustang I owned was a 2001 Rio Red Mustang Premium GT. Someone crashed into it while it was parked so I decided to buy a Black 1998 SVT Cobra. I took a break from Mustangs but was pulled back in with the S550. My friend had just bought a green 2015 Mustang GT Premium. He let me test drive it and I fell in love. I then decided to buy a black 2017 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack. It was really reliable and I drove it all the way from Northern California. This year, my wife was at the Ford dealership and they advised her that they just received a Shelby GT350. I left work early to go check it out and when they brought it out, it was love at first sight.
The car is pretty stock performance wise other than the resonators being deleted by the prior owner to give it the GT350R sound. Visual mods include Oracle demon eyes, Euro tail lights, LED rear side markers, Liquivinyl front splitter and
GT500 spoiler with wickerbill. The interior has been done up with carbon fiber inlays, Shelby America shifter nob and color changing starlights.

A REFLECTION OF MY JOURNEY...
My name is Trey Hoebee III - music artist, creator, and automotive enthusiast - and I’m the proud owner of a 2017 Pearl White Mustang GT California Special, a 6-speed manual I’ve named SCRIM.
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!
For nearly a decade, owning an S550 Mustang GT wasn’t just a goal - it was the goal. It took eight years of setbacks, hearing “no,” and staying locked into a vision that never left my mind. In 2025, that vision finally became reality. What once felt out of reach is now something I’ve built, driven, and turned into a reflection of my journey.
SCRIM sits on 20-inch AZAD wheels and blends performance with personal detail - featuring a GT500 front-end conversion, gloss black accents done in-house, and a fully customized interior including a forged carbon fiber steering wheel by Zen Carbon Fiber, custom upholstery by Adrian Steering Wheel Art, and carbon details throughout. Backed by a Roush Stage 1 package, Brembo brakes, and a straight-pipe setup, it delivers the raw, aggressive feel that defines what a Mustang GT should be.
But this build goes beyond the car itself. It’s a physical extension of my brand, X3 Era - Own Your Era - a lifestyle rooted in evolution, passion, and purpose. The end goal is bigger
than horsepower: creating a space where people can come together - cars, music, fitness, style, and creativity all in one place. A hub to build, connect, and live fully.
This isn’t just a Mustang. This is SCRIM. This is X3 Era. This is the beginning of everything. You can follow me on IG @ bytheiii.

THE END RESULT...
My name is Ken and I live in Hudson, Wisconsin. This is my second Mustang. My first was a 2008 California Special. I drove it for three years and absolutely loved it.
I’m a huge Jack Roush fan. I have always loved his Mustangs, the 427Rs, 428Rs and the 429Rs. I was scrolling the internet about two years ago and came across a 2009 427R at a Ford dealer in Colorado with 39k miles on it. It was mechanically sound but had been left out in the sun. The paint was very badly faded, all the plastics (front bumper, rear bumper, hood scoop, rear wing and side louvers) very badly delaminated and all the Roush decals were extremely cracked. After dealing with the sales person for a couple of days on the price and cost of shipping we settled on a deal that fit my budget.
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!
The end result was not only amazing but I was amazed at what could be done in my own garage and I saved a lot of money.
After it was delivered, I spent the next eight weeks working on it in my garage. I pulled all the plastics off the car and with the help of my local body shop supply store (helping with how to tackle it in my garage and getting the right supplies). Then I contacted Roush Preformance and they cut me the same graphics from the original build sheet. Then I took off all the cracked graphics and cut and buffed the car.

THE CAR WAS LEFT NEGLECTED
IN A FIELD...
My car was one of the last cars that rolled off the production line just 13 days before the very last 1966 model rolled off the Dearborn production line on Friday 29th July 1966. Seventeen days later on Monday August 15th, 1966, the production line changed over to the new 1967 model Mustangs.

The car was shipped over to the UK with a USAF serviceman to RAF Lakenheath who used the car as his daily driver and leading a hard life remaining on its USA reg plates. After the American owner completed his tours of duty he returned back to the USA without the car as he decided to sell the car here in the UK, as it wasn’t worth exporting back to the USA with him. The new UK owner wanted to restore the car back to its former glory. During his attempt at a restoration the new owner managed to set fire under the dash and engine bay wire loom trying to fit a modern radio. The car was left neglected in a field where it was basically left to rust away.
Rediscovered some twelve years later by the next owner, he also wanted to attempt a restoration of the car. He too found out the car was a real mess after some minor work had taken place over a couple of weeks. That owner then sold the car on to me as a non-running ‘project’ car.

were beyond restoration and needed replacing.
The project was a complete bare metal restoration with every nut and bolt coming off the car. There were safety upgrades that I wanted such as a full front disc brake conversion, LED upgrades for every bulb on the car. The paint job brief was for the original Ford base colour of Acapulco blue, but with a bespoke light metallic mix just to make it ‘pop’ in the sunlight. The bodywork and paint work cost twice as much as the car did when my wife bought the car for me.
The total amount of man hours for the restoration is over 2,500 hours just to get the car back on the road.

The car was delivered to me September 2011 where it was dragged unceremoniously off the back of a flatbed lorry onto my drive. I started working on the car where I quickly realised that I too needed help. I contacted Mustang Maniac who picked up my car and took it to their workshops in Hertfordshire. Every weekend over the next 4 ½ years I would travel 65 miles down to their yard to work on the car all day. I was given ‘homework’ to restore and clean up parts ready for the next week’s fitting. Some parts could be reused keeping as much originality as possible; many parts were missing, some parts
