I bought an '05 V6 back in 2007, and kept it for a couple years until it became obvious that a Mustang wasn't terribly practical for a lot of the outdoor activities I enjoy. I ended up trading that Mustang in on a 2009 F-150.

As much as I loved the truck, I was still hung up on a Mustang. I've loved Mustangs ever since I was a little kid; my dream car has always been a '70 Boss 429 in Grabber Blue.

When my dad passed away in September, I inherited his 1996 Bronco. I realized that the Bronco would fill my needs for a winter/off-road vehicle, so yesterday I traded my F-150 in on a new 2013 6MT GT coupe. Coincidentally (maybe it was a sign), I found the car at a dealership in Mason City, IA, which was my dad's birthplace.

 

I don't believe coincidence brought you to the right car, in the right color, in the right place. Great looking car!!!

 

Great looking car - congrats on the purchase! Any plans or keeping stock?

 

Congrats on a beautiful car!!!

 

Amazing story & car! That's a keeper! No more trading

 

I'm planning on doing some light mods, but I haven't nailed anything down yet. It's going to be my summer DD, so I'm not going to do anything too crazy with it.

 

Yep, this one is definitely going to be sticking around.

 

That is awesome that you purchased the Mustang in the city where your father was born.

Congrats on the purchase and enjoy!

Best Regards,

TJ

 

Love the color! Beautiful!

 

I don't usually like GB but that looks so clean!

 

Hard to capture the color in photos - the track package wheels make it look much better in my opinion too! Can't wait to post some pictures of mine in (hopefully) just a couple days

 

Beautiful car! It's obvious us hockey players have great taste

 

Beautiful car! I was torn between grabber blue and what I ended up getting. I am very happy with mine but still enjoy seeing the grabbers around here. Great color!

 

Looks great! Congrats.
