Get Your PONY PUBLISHED! Ends APR 7!

I know I already posted in here but I had to write a story about the Mach for something else and this one was much better then my first one. I don't know if there is a maximum length limit but here it is.


I've always loved cars for as long as I can remember. I liked cars of all kinds until I turned about 16. That's when my attention turned to mostly Mustangs. Back in about 1998, I owned a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 pickup. I did a bunch of mods (appearance wise) but wanted to trade it in on a new 1998 Mustang. The dealer didn't want to deal with me at all. I'm guessing because I was so young at the time. So I never got my Mustang that I wanted. About 5 1/2 years later, I had enough money for a decent down payment on a car so my search for a Mustang started all over again. My wife (girlfriend back then) and I went to a dealership with intentions of getting a new 2004 GT. The salesperson let me drive the GT and to my surprise, also let me take the Torch Red Mach they had there for a spin. We didn't think we could afford the Mach so we went ahead and filled out papers for the GT. The deal fell through because the dealership that had the GT I wanted didn't want to trade with the local dealership.Then we went to a different dealership to deal on a Mach 1 just to see what we could get one for. This dealership offered a Mach 1 to us for only $500 more then the GT we almost bought .Finally in December of 2003 I got the car of my dreams, the 2004 DSG (Dark Shadow Gray) Mach 1. Unfortunately, it was winter so I didn't drive it for a few months after I got it home to keep the salt off of it. The mod bug didn't bite me yet, it only took a little nibble. All I did to it was tint the windows and put a decal on the 3rd brake light. I plan on keeping it stock so I can maintain the originality of it and also, there really isn't too many stock Mach 1's out there anymore. The Mach has also won various awards at local car shows. This is the car I plan on keeping forever.

Victoria and myself went on a long road trip from our home to Clinton IL. Anderson Ford Motorsports to have some more work and tuning done on my old sn95 red GT.
My wife went inside the showroom to get a soda and came out with her eyes wide open and said "you gotta come see this"
We went into the showroom and saw the most beutifull 2005 Roush GT ever.
We talked about a new stang as this was the year for the body style change but nothing serious. after about 6 hours of wheeling and dealing we ended up driving it home.
It started out as a 2005 Roush GT sport pack. Bsically it was a stage 1 minus wheels as Roush was having problems at that time getting rims as well as they had to stage 2 or 3's availible. remember this is end of May 2005 they were just coming out.
since then the car has had many mod's
Painted to match engine plenum cover
steeda strut tower brace with customer caps.
chrome radiator cover,master cover,fuse cover,a/c cap covers,ecm cover.
chrome frpp valve covers
frpp racing block
forged cobra crank
forged manley rods
cp pistons
studded heads with valve springs and titanium retainers
vortech v2sq 16psi (right now is getting the T-trim polished unit installed)
center force dual friction clutch and firdanza aluminum flywheel
redline hood struts
60 psi injectors
GT-500 twin in tank pumps
jba headers
magnaflow front pipe high flow cats
magnaflow mufflers
stage 2 roush suspension (springs,struts,shocks)
rear lower polished steeda control arms
rear upper adjustable steeda control arms
fr-500 ford wheels
pirellie p-zero's in front
bfg drag radials out back
custom made and painted to match sub box.
component speakers in front doors
pioneer rear deck speakers
kenwood amp for the subs
sub box has 2 10 in. JL subs
i have a pioneer avic-d3 in box that needs to go in the car yet also!!
steeda tri-ax shifter
roush stage 3 hood scoop
Roush rear bumper inserts
4.10 gears
moser 31 spline axles
detroit tru-trac rear diff.

The car has been a great way of finding others in this hobby but mostly I am able to spend more time with my family at club gatherings.
The car has won numerous awards several best of shows, one i am very proud of is its best in class finish at the Milwauke World Of Wheels show.
I have driven it at the dragstrip a few times on the old tune at 450 rwhp on drag radials it went 12.01 at 119.4 mph. that was at 8psi. I have not ran it again since the 16psi upgrade at the strip as the motor was done and i wanted to break it in properly last year.
This year with the T-trim upgrade i am anxious to run it, the car was over 500rwhp on the smaller blower with a small pulley.
The car is 1-147 roush produced in sonic blue, as most know sonic blue on the GT has been discontinued so I proudly display and drive this car. The best part of this is the fact that my wife totally supports my habit with the car.
This past year I was lucky enough to meet Jack Roush at the Oshkosh WI. E.A.A airshow as he is a avid flyer of the p-51 mustang and ford is a huge supporter, I was able to get one on one with the man and have him actually autograph my car and other memorabilia. I also had the great chance to meet Carroll Shelby at the E.A.A.. this by and far was the biggest and most exciting thing including the car I have experienced yet.
I hope you like the pictures.

My Saleen was a gift from my wife for the rest of my life!! It's my baby. It is an '06 Saleen white convertible a black interior and a black vinyl top. It has 20 inch white seven spoke 9 inch rims with Dunlop tires. It came with a twin screw-super charger as it is a 281SC. I did the Saleen bump kit modification to it bringing it from 435 HP to 475 HP. They installed 39 pound injectors, reflashed the computer, changed the pulley and changed out the cold air return with a 95 milli meter mass air unit increasing the horse power up by 40 horse power. When I ordered it from the factory I had them put in the Saleen Max Grip 3:73 rear gears in it. It also has Low Jack which dropped my insurance! I also installed wheel locks for the rims. I get my car detailed every week! I bought this $60,0000 car for $55,000 as it had a $5,000 rebate. My car always gets compliments everytime I take it out. I'm disability retired and my Saleen is my daily driver with 20, 300 miles on it.

We had ordered a 2005 GT form a delership in KC, Mo., but they lost our order and by the time we found out, Ford had stopped production of the 2005 GT's. They said I would have to order a 2006. I wanted the first year of the body change. I searched 185 web sites and finally found 3 red premium coupes, loaded and with red leather. So we went to Dallas from KC to get it.
We bought the car directly from Troy Aikman, the Dallas Cowboys' former quarterback. He took pics with us gave us signed T-shirts and even signed my football. Sorry, now, back to my Stang.
As soon as we got it home, I installed the front and rear GT bumper covers and grill with fog lights. (I decided that since I could't get an 05 GT, I'd make one!) I then had custom made dual exhaust put on. I bolted on brand new 18" 03 Cobra R chome wheels and tires. We started to go to car shows and had really good luck, it was a blast!
In a few more months I had added quite a few mods. Here is a list:
10" dual wide white stripes
A B2 Cervini chin spoiler
A CDC duck tail spoiler
Stainless steel headers
A Boy Racer rear wing
Custom painted white rocker covers
Roush Hood DScoop
Mustang Venom SS stripes and hood scoop insignias
Sequential turn signals
Polished alluminum upper and lower grill
Real chrome hood pins
Chrome door handle covers
Red Airraid cold air system
Chrome and red engine wire covers
Plenum cover
Polished billit strut covers
Nuerous chrome interior parts
We started the 2007 car show season by going to Slater, Mo. for "Slater Days" It is a celebration for Steve McQueen who grew up there. I had his widow, Barbara McQueen sign my car on the radiator cover, ( you can see it in the pics0. It would have been Steve's 78 birthday that day. I cherrish this autograph, because I think Steve McQueen made the Mustang famous all by himself.
I did all the work on this car myself. It has only been beaten in it's class 3 times in 44 shows. It has never seen a car wash or a drop of rain or water. I jack it up by hand every 3 weeks during the season and wax the entire underneath of the car. It has NO scratches, water spots or dust anywhere, especially when it is shown. I have 11,342 miles on it.
Mymustangsite.com has been a lot of fun to meet Stang lovers like me. We exchange ideas, get info about car shows and just talk about our cars. I love it.
I hope you enjoy these pics.
