My History
With the Mustang

A Mustang History Unlike Any Other

“From the original 1962 Mustang I to today, my history with the Mustang – and with Ford – actually spans generations before I was ever born.”

Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of America
The Connection
“The Mustang I shocked the sports car world with its innovative engineering and design, the Shelby GT350 transformed racing and inspired generations of enthusiasts with its raw power, the 2014 Shelby GT500 reinvigorated and redefined performance and the new Mustang GTD is where it now culminates.”

The Lineage Continues

The Mustang GTD is the most technologically advanced and performance-focused Mustang ever built but it was born from an extremely radical two-seat mid-engine race car concept from 1962.

The 1966 Shelby GT350H "Hertz Rent-A-Racer" and 2014 Shelby GT500 "Eleanor" homages were specifically built to incorporate the DNA traits and milestones of both the Mustang’s and my history.

This is not just about purchasing another Mustang. It represents something much more.

It is my continuing the lineage that began long before I was born and continues today.
