Barton Industries Short Shifter - TR-6060 (10-12 GT500)

I grew up a Chevy kid, but when it came time to get a muscle car of my own, I fell in love with Mustangs. Been bleeding blue ever since. Being a Customer Service Rep at American Muscle lets me talk about the cars I love and how to make...

I have been toying with Mustangs since before a driver's license was even an option. I've owned somewhere around 15 and I'm not done by a long shot. It all started with a 175 HP pearl white convertible Fox Body. It sparked my love for Mustang's and that sparked a...

I'm currently a student at Penn State University studying political science. I've run a performance shop on the side for over a year now, and I've been working on cars for 7 years now. I've done transmissions, engines, and suspensions on many different cars. I used to be a Chevy...

When I retired after working for the city of Philadelphia and Septa I decided it was time to relive my earlier years and buy a real muscle car. (I also took on this job at AmericanMuscle for fun - I love the car and the community and belong to several...

I am a Mustangaholic. Do not try to cure me, I am perfectly OK with being one. I have owned over 10 Mustangs in my lifetime already. I currently have just 5 (I did own 8 at one time). I fell in love for the first time when I was...

Got into cars when I was young. Always was into the Mustangs because of the movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' with the 1967 Shelby GT500 Fast back when I was growing up. I am currently attending Universal Technical Institute for Automotive/Diesel and Ford Fact program. I just started working at...

I may be the only person to ever brave a winter with drag radials on a Mustang, while still daily driving it. Don’t worry, I finally got them off in the spring (day late and a dollar short, right?), and I promptly finished those tires at our company picnic in...

I have always been around Mustangs in my professional life, either fixing them as a mechanic, selling them at dealerships, or modding them here at AmericanMuscle. Instead of starting right away with the power mods, I started looking more into suspension and weight reduction. I have always dreamed of entering...

I am a diehard Mustang fanatic. I first fell in love with Mustangs when I was 15 years old and I found a 1966 Mustang coupe restoration project. That was the beginning of my addiction. I quickly added a 1993 Mustang LX 5.0 to my collection which served as my...

This whole story starts when I was 15 and I had to have a foxbody. So I went out and found the loudest fastest foxbody that 5 grand could buy. When I realized that this thing was a certain death trap I sold it and moved onto the 2000 GT...

I went to automotive school in Exton, PA, and worked as a mechanic for a while. My dad is a huge Ford guy; he used to drag race and my uncles raced motorcycles so I was always in the garage growing up. Working here is nice because it's not as...

I got my first Mustang when I was 16, a two tone 91 GT red and silver with a sunroof that didn’t leak!  And needless to say I was a bit timid to do work on it, I hadn’t modified any vehicle before outside of installing a CD player.  I...

Recently I bought my first home, the selling point for the house was not the amount of land, bedrooms, or bathrooms like how most people would choose a home. I made my choice based on the garage where the mustang sleeps. The garage is completely finished with painted floors, walls,...

My first car was a 1989 Ford Mustang Saleen Convertible that I used as my test car to learn about working on Mustangs. Foxbodies have become my passion and now I pretty much consider myself a Foxbody expert. My dream project car is a Foxbody with a 03-04 cobra swap...

I was a customer first - 7 years ago I came in to buy parts, got in an argument with someone about a part, and won. I left with my parts and a new job and I've been here ever since. I knew when I came to work at AmericanMuscle,...

I've loved Mustangs for as long as I can remember. My dad was a Camaro guy growing up, but his first work truck was a Ford, and we've been a Ford-only family ever since. My dad is a sheet metal worker/mechanic, so everything I know about my car I learned...

All my other cars were all-wheel drive, my brother had an 04 cobra and i wanted to compete and beat him with naturally aspirated so i went with a mach1 - and beat him. Now he works here too! I got lucky and was able to find one of the...

I have only driven 2 manual transmission Mustangs, the 1st was the car that taught me how to drive stick shift. The other is my current daily driver. A very memorable moment about my GT500 happened when I purchased a JLT CAI and SCT tuner. I thought the car was...

I was raised by a car family. Drag racing and the Ford blue oval were always a huge part of our household. During my high school years, working on cars and participa....err watching street races probably helped further pull my focus from my priorities and I was hooked. After high-school...

I’ve had 18 Mustangs, ranging from a stock 66 coupe to a low 9-second Fun Ford Weekend” Street Renegade 96 GT that made 888 RWHP. (308 cid motor, Edelbrock heads, intake and topped off with a Paxton Novi 2000R supercharger pushing 30 psi of boost). My best pass in that...

Mustangs hold a special place in my heart. My father owned a 65 mustang when he was younger, but a friend wrecked it. The grille pony still sits on his workbench. Until getting my own pony, I had no clue why he would keep a metal horse for so long....

I've worked here for 3 years now and done pretty much everything in the warehouse from mounting and balancing wheels/tires, driving the forklift, shipping, and receiving. Both my brothers worked here in other departments, keeping it in the family! My car philosophy's pretty simple, I just want to get where...
