STANG Magazine Special Edition Issue: White Out 2026

Page 1


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

EVERY MUSTANG TELLS A STORY...

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 passion for Mustangs started when my parents brought home a white 2005 Mustang GT convertible. At the time, it was the fastest car I had ever driven, and I instantly fell in love with the feeling that only a Mustang can give you. It wasn’t just the power - it was the sound, and the retro but futuristic styling of the early S197. From those early days on, Mustangs became more than just vehicles to me. They represented freedom and excitement.

Since then, I’ve owned two Mustangs of my own - a white 2014 V6 and now my current S650 GT, which is truly my dream car. Living in South Texas, I get to enjoy driving it year-round through the hot, humid air of the Rio Grande Valley, where the car scene is full of passion and community. Beyond just driving, Mustangs have introduced me to friendships, car meets, and opportunities to connect with other enthusiasts who share the same passion. What I love most is that every Mustang tells a story, and this S650 represents years of hard work, dedication, and love for the platform. Even though it already feels special, I know this build is only getting started.

THE PRIDE THAT COMES WITH BUILDING SOMETHING YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT...

Ever since I got into cars, my Mustang has been more than just a vehicle to me. I’ve always loved the aggressive look, the sound of the V8, and the way a Mustang stands out everywhere it goes. Working on it, upgrading parts, and making it my own is something I genuinely enjoy because every modification reflects my personality and style.

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!

What really fuels my passion is the car community and the feeling I get every time I drive it. From late night cruises to car meets, my Mustang brings excitement and confidence that’s hard to explain unless you’re into cars yourself. It’s not just about speed or looks; it’s about the connection, the memories, and the pride that comes with building something you truly care about.

SUZI Q - 1968 MUSTANG

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

A PIECE OF MY SOUL BROUGHT TO LIFE EVERY TIME I TURN THE KEY...

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 1968 Mustang isn’t just a car to me, it’s a feeling, a memory, and a piece of my soul brought to life every time I turn the key. The sound of the 289 exhaust has a heartbeat of its own, raw and powerful, echoing through me in a way no modern car ever could. The moment I slide behind the wheel, everything slows down. The stress disappears, the road opens up, and for those moments, it’s just me, the rumble of the engine, and the freedom that only an old Mustang can give. There’s something about the way it drives that feels alive, almost like the car understands me.

Every curve, every vibration, and every deep growl from the exhaust tells a story. This Mustang speaks to a part of me that words can barely explain, a connection built from passion, nostalgia, and pure emotion. Driving it isn’t about getting from one place to another, it’s about the experience, the sound, the attention it commands, and the way it makes me feel. I am completely at peace. No matter how many years go by, the love I have for this car only grows stronger. It’s more than metal and horsepower, it’s freedom, therapy, and a timeless piece of my heart.

WINTER STORM - 2006 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!

LOVE FOR MUSTANGS LIVES ON...

My passion surrounding Mustangs started when I was a young kid riding in my dad’s 1969 Mustang Mach 1. Growing up, my dad always had one if not two Mustangs in the driveway that he would work on and then later resell. For as long as I can remember, I would attend car shows with my dad and grandpa. Cruising into the yearly shows right behind each other, I was excited that one day I will be in tow with them.

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 2024, I was finally able to purchase my first Mustang - a V6 2013, all blacked out. To some, it might not have seemed all that special, but to me it was the car I will take to car shows with my dad. This past year, I bought “Winter Storm.” I fell in love with the Performance White with Vista Blue stripes. It is such an iconic and stunning color. I knew I couldn’t pass up on it. It’s for sure a head turner, everyone telling me how beautiful it is, puts a smile on my face knowing not only I but others enjoy it as well. Fast forward and I am now enjoying car shows as my dad did with his father, and so the car show tradition and love for Mustangs lives on.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to my 60th Anniversary Edition GT, whom we have named Viviane. She is a truly special vehicle, marked as number 1,215 of only 1,965 ever produced. She is Wimbledon White but we have added the red pony in the front as well as some red in the engine compartment to help accent the red 60th stripe and badging.

We chose the name Viviane in honor of the Lady of the Lake, the legendary guardian of the sword Excalibur. I am very proud to have her in my collection.

I found my 2005 Mustang GT sitting on the roadside with a for sale sign in March of 2004. I called the owner. I test drove it and bought it in about 30 minutes for a really good price. Might I say cheap.

I spent the next two months detailing and fixing some small items. I went to my first car show in May 2024. The Mustang received its first trophy at that show. I was hooked. Since that time, the car has earned 13 more trophies for a total of 14 to date. As a side note, I have made so many good friends through owning this Mustang.

A SPECIAL PLACE IN ANY CAR GUY’S HEART...

CHUCK DEKETT

The Stang is my first Mustang. I’m not a Ford only fan. I like all cars, but the Mustang has to have a special place in any car guy’s heart.

It’s just a real fun car to drive and I never thought I would own a one of one car, especially not a Mustang. I really love going to shows and the unmistakable sound of the cammed 4.6 is a crowd pleaser.
