STANG Magazine Special Edition Issue: Wings of Pride

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

WINGS OF PRIDE - 2022 SHELBY SUPER SNAKE

BUILT BY SHELBY AMERICAN...

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

My name is Fred Alvarado and I am an Air Force veteran having served as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer. I own a 2022 Shelby Super Snake Wide Body Convertible Speedster Edition.

This 2022 Shelby Super Snake is a very special 825 hp 1-of-1 Convertible Wide Body Speedster Edition. This Super Snake, otherwise known as “Wings of Pride™,” was built by Shelby American Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada specifically for the KC Aviation STEM Inc. charity sweepstakes, which raises funds for charities focused on children. I was the winner of the sweepstakes with the drawing being held on December 8, 2023.

Carroll Shelby was well known for his passion for fast cars and fast airplanes, having flown both the B-25 and B-29 bombers during WWII. Equally strong was his compassion for children, especially those with health problems. The “Wings of Pride™” Shelby honors Carroll Shelby’s entire legacy and is an incredibly fast and powerful car.

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!

San Antonio, TX on November 16, 2025. The amount of detail owner Edward Gutierrez has given to this project is absolutely incredible and a story in itself.

Edward is now in the final stages of clear coating Wings of Pride and it should be ready for showing again within two weeks.

“Wings of Pride™” honors the United States Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team so, her graphics are similar to the paint scheme on the F-16 Thunderbird aircraft. One important aspect - this vehicle came from Shelby American in Las Vegas, NV with the F-16 Thunderbird graphics already on the vehicle. The issue I had was the graphics were all 3M vinyl tape. Every time I detailed the car, more of the tape would start to de-laminate, especially the stars. So, I made the decision to have all the vinyl tape removed and PAINT all the graphics back on the car. After a very extensive search, I found a local artist/painter willing to take on this very complex project. The car was dropped off to Dr. Flow Creations in

OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR...

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!

Angelica DaVinci has old Hollywood glamour. She is a car show model while also being a Traditional & Digital Artist, Videographer, and Editor of Video and Photography. She models at outdoor car shows from Spring to Autumn for a lot of charity events that advocate for the Military, Police, and Firefighters. She creates music videos of every car show she attends that are posted up on her YouTube Channel “Angelica DaVinci”. You can also follow her on Instagram. In her digital artwork, she creates full new environments for owners of their vehicles without AI. She worked with STANG Magazine prior as she created a calendar for America’s Warriors Care Package Project. All the proceeds went towards the charity to make sure the deployed military got their care packages. She keeps all her modeling classy and family oriented. Aside from her enthusiasm for Muscle car culture, she loves the older styles including Panther De Ville and Roadsters.

She was the videographer for the “The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall” For Babylon Vault Company and created a four hour long documentary in honor and remembrance of those who served many treacherous years without a welcome

home. You are not forgotten. She volunteers for Wreaths Across America when she can.

Her values align with traditional conservative roots of America and the American Dream. God. Family. Country.
