Mustang of the Month for August 2010 Jerry Murphy's 1970 Grande Coupe 
Yes, I was finally chosen and boy did I really get a razzing
about it. The suggestion was that I send you a picture of my
car in primer. So that is what I am sending you, however if you
decide not to the one on the web is fine.
To keep me out of trouble, my wife bought me the car which is a
story in it's self. My whole family has helped in one way or
another in getting our Mustang to what you all saw last year.
It went in for needed body work and then new paint which has
taken from October 2009 until June 2010. There are some flaws
in the paint and the painter has asked for the car back, which
will happen right after the Port Orchard show. We are very
proud to have been the first recipients of the WTB Phoenix Award
from the Warriors at Fort Lewis. Thanks to all for your support
and joking about the Stang. Happy Trails from the "Purple
Rider".

Mustang of the Month for July 2010 Mike Thomas' 2006 GT  My ride is a 2006 Mustang GT, I bought it used back in 2009. I got it with just over 19,000 miles so it was just getting broken in. Prior to owning this car, I honestly wasn't a Ford fan, grew up a Chevy guy. When I was looking to purchase my next car, which I knew was going to be a muscle car, I first looked at the Corvette. Then I found myself taking a look at the Mustang and have been a huge fan ever since. Once I started adding parts, modifying this, upgrading that.....I was officially diagnosed a Mustang Addict. Over time I became interested in the history of the Mustang and started doing some research. I had always heard a rumor that the car was originally named after the P-51 Mustang from WWII. After finding out that was true, I decided to turn my Mustang into a P-51 edition, the only 2006 one out there. While it's not an official P-51 edition (they did come out with a Roush P-51 editions for 2009), I'm trying to make my own version of it. I've added some custom made dash and engine badges, done a lot of performance upgrades, and am currently working on some exterior body mod's. I'm also planning on getting custom license plates made for it. All together I have well over $2,000 invested and it has been money well spent.

Mustang of the Month for December 2009 Matt and Kassandra Sparkmon's 2000 Coupe "Kub's Pony" This is our 2000 Tropic Green V6 coupe. After graduating college in June this year, Kassandra and I decided we needed to reward ourselves for this achievement. We had been tagging along on PCMC events so we decided it was a great time for a Mustang. She is a great starter pony, and although it is not the mustang of our dreams, we really enjoy the ride. She will be getting vanity plates that say "KUBSPNY" in December. We plan to give her to our son Jaekub for his 16th birthday.

In April 1968 I traded in a 1965 Honey Gold six cylinder three speed Mustang Coupe on this Acapulco Blue 1968 GTCS California Special. I had the optional Hood Tach installed on it at the time of purchase. Over the years I have made some minor changes but in the mid 80’s after retiring from the Army, I had the Mustang Ranch in Eatonville put it back to stock. Last year I exchanged the 3.25 to a 2.75 rear end for increased mileage. This past month I had disc brakes installed on the front. It is still considered stock, since both were options in 1968. One thing I accomplished last year during my trip back east, I was able to complete my wish to drive it in all 48 continental United States. In addition I have driven in three Canadian Provinces. Currently it has 465,000 miles on it; via one short block and two valve jobs. The transmission had been replaced once and overhauled a couple times. It has taken lots of awards, no best of show yet, but it claimed the ‘Event Sponsor’s Choice’ in Jefferson, IN this past year. (There have been quite a few Long Distance awards given also since I have traveled quite a bit to the shows.) I have enjoyed owning this 1968 GTCS California Special for the past 41 years. (For those of you who don’t know, my companion is Tanner, who goes just about everywhere with me.
Bill Norman’s 2000 GT Convertible I have always wanted a Mustang convertible so mid-late December 1999 I decided to trade in my 1983 White LX Mustang on a Bright Atlantic Blue Mustang GT Convertible. I came up with the personalized license: ‘MYY2KGT’ (MY – my; Y2K – 2000; GT – GT) over New Years at a friend’s place. The first year I owned it I took it to several shows; and additionally I made a trip back east to a MCA Grand National near Durham, North Carolina. (This was the last big trip Rusty made with me as he passed in December 2000.) It has had a couple fender-benders since I’ve owned it. It is my “Cruising” Mustang, and, if the weather permits, the top is down.

"My dad bought this car
when I was 6 from a lady in El Cajon, CA in 1971. That day on the way
home he said some day this car will be yours son. Well he made
true to his word 34 years later. Now my 3 sons will have to prove
themselves.
Mustang of the Month
for March 2009
"We have always loved the looks of the Mustang Car, and
the sound of the engine. always caught our eye, a real attention
getter, Our Dream Car we just never thought that we would really be able
to get one, it was time we needed a new car, our work car was becoming
to expensive with all the up keeps and repairs, so we drove down to
Korum Ford in Puyallup where we always buy our cars.

Mustang of the Month
for December 2008
"This is our black 2007 Cal Special. We were looking for a GT but when we saw
this pony at Scarff Ford, it was love at first sight! We've added a Ford Racing
cold air intake and performance tune that pumps out an extra 25 hp. In addition
to the hood pins we also added the original "California Special" chrome logos
from the 1968 model to add a little more nostalgia. The rest (hood scoop, rear
spoiler, wheels) are stock. What we love best about our Mustang is the rare
combination of vintage looks, with modern comfort and performance - The car show
on Sunday, and posing on the way to work on Monday!"
Mustang(s) of the
Month for November 2008
6T7PNY  07 Mustang This is my 2007 Vista Blue V-6 Coupe, 5-speed transmission. Since this picture, we've upgraded the exhaust, replaced stock wheels with '07 GT wheels, put a billet grill on and added some internal and under the hood visual enhancements. This was my 40th birthday present! Maybe next year, I'll put it in a show. :o) Donna Zimbelman
Mustang of the Month
for October 2008
This is my 65 GT
fastback. I bought the car when I was 17. I had to talk my dad into loaning me
the $2750 until I sold my 66 6cyl coupe. Well he gave in after he saw it. Thanks
dad. I am 43 now and have put 3200 miles on it since I finished 90% of the car.
I don’t think they’re ever done. Well its a true GT, Caspian blue, blue and
white pony, rally pack. The 289 has mild cam, coated headers, Motorsport intake,
and Flowmasters. Now being married and my daughter is 8, my step son 18, I like
taking them out for drives, especially showing his friends there’s other cars
besides Hondas. He agrees now. I hope to get out and meet you all.
Mustang of the Month for September 2008
"Well, it’s a 1995 GT 5.0 I bought from a friend going through a divorce in 1996, he didn’t want his wife to get the car so he sold it to me for 11k, so you could say his misfortune was my fortune. The car is lowered 1.5” with H&R springs and 17” American racing wheels, MAC cold air intake and chrome accents on the hood and side scoops, sliding moon roof. This coming winter I would like to add headers, supercharger and a performance chip, as well as an in dash DVD with navigation. For the longest time I was thinking of trading it in for a newer model, but after talking to family and friends I have decided to keep it, so I traded in my Chevy truck for a 07 Ford F150 super cab instead."
Mustang of the Month for August 2008
I bought the car new out of Canada in 1984. It was shipped over the border to me sight unseen. I drove the car daily until 1999 when it has 319,000 miles on it. It was running tired so spent the next year having the engine rebuilt, boring it out and putting new headers on it, changing gears in the rear end and putting a new clutch in it. I have approx. 4000 miles on it now and it is virtually brand new. I have replaced the tires and wheels and just had the black repainted. It sits in my garage along with my 1957 Thunderbird and my 2001 Mercedes SLK320.
Mustang of the Month for July 2008 Bill & Lia Pavone

Mustang of the Month for June 2008
9 Months before I left for my tour in Korea my husband bought me this 2005 Mustang Convertible with the premium upgrade for my birthday. He wanted me to have the car I have lusted after for many years before I went overseas for a year without my family. That way I would have something to look forward to when I got home other than being back home with my loved ones. This was the best birthday present!
Mustang(s) of the Month for May 2008 Well since we own 3 Mustangs, we had difficulty trying to select just 1 so here’s the story of all of our Ponies. 
Mustang #1: Net’s ’65. This is Lynnette’s first car given
to her by her folks in 1977. She learned how to drive along with several
of her friends. Later she got it painted from its factory white to a
dark blue. The car was pretty tired when she broke the oil pump shaft
and the car sat in a garage for 7 years. In the summer of 2004 she
decided to restore it and now after many $$$ it is one very nice car. Mustang of the Month for April 2008 "When third gear fell out of my Dodge Caravan, my sons told me 'Don't buy another mini van, Mom...buy something FUN! So I did! This is my 1997 Mustang Coupe with the 3.8 L. Just a little guy but fun none the less. This will be my third season of participating in cruises and car shows and I'm having a ball."

No January MOTM Mustang of the Month for October/November 2007 David Dillahunt's "Desert Mustang"
"Just wanted say hi and thank you for getting my wife involved with the show this year. She said that she had a great time and that there were some beautiful cars this year. I also wanted to thank you for all the pictures that you sent, it was great to see all of those cars again and all my buddies here loved them too. You wouldn't believe how many Mustang owners there are out here. I am trying to talk them all into joining the club when they get back. Any way in exchange for the pictures I thought you might like this picture and please share it with the others. This is the only equivalent we have out here right now and it can definitely get some speed going when you want it to. Thanks again, David Dillahunt" THANK YOU DAVID!!!
Mustang of the Month for September 2007 Mike and Sandi Hallock's '66 Mustang 2+2
"This is my 1966 Mustang 2+2 fastback. As you can tell, it is a work in progress. I think all of our cars are going to always be a work in progress. I did some mods on my car, the first mod I did is disc brakes. I figured if I put some horsepower in her, I would like to stop. Next is a motor - a 400 hp 302. She is still a work in progress."
Mustang of the Month for August 2007 Bill Bailey's Roush powered 1967 Coupe
Mustang of the month for July 2007
Pete & Nancy Freeman’s
Pete Freeman brought the 1993 GT 5.0 bright red convertible with black interior home in 1998. Originally stock the passing years have seen a number of modifications added including upper/lower strut braces, frame rail connectors, conversion from automatic to 5 speed transmission, cold air intake, Cobra intake manifold, 1 5/8 exhaust headers, aluminum heads and a Cobra R hood with plenty of bling under it. When Pete purchased his toy the odometer read 54,000 miles, a daily driver the odometer now has passed 135,000 miles. Pete is a firm believer that "the fun of a Mustang is in the driving".
