Mustang of the Month

Shawn & Tony Merwin
1976 Mustang II coupe

Hi! We are Shawn and Tony. I was a former member from 2007 to 2014.Then in 2022 Shawn and I decided to join the club together during the car show at Griots that year. Our car is a stock yellow 1976 Mustang II coupe. Her name is Sadie. (You know Mustang Sally's awkward little sister...) Shawn bought her for me as a birthday present in October 2022.

When we got her she wouldn't stay running and her steering was atrocious. With some tinkering and the help of a couple of grandsons, who have wanted to learn some basic mechanics, we've been able to put her back on the road. She is definitely not perfect, as she still has a couple of electrical gremlins I need to chase down. Since getting her road worthy we've had her in the Daffodil Parade a couple times, done a couple car shows and few club outings.

Through the summer months I've enjoyed driving her for work. It is surprising how many compliments I get even though she is just a driver and far from show condition. But the conversations I enjoy the most is from younger people who have never seen or known there was such a thing as a Mustang II.
