"RW&B Ponies" Scott Beck, Randy Medina, and Dan Medina

After joining Thatcher Foundations, I met Dan Medina and we started talking about cars. Dan and his brother Randy are dedicated Mustang fans and are always going to car shows. In 2025 when I bought mine, we all started going to shows and the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE stands out when people walk by looking at the different generations of Mustangs. We are all living in the NW Indiana Region and only drive them in the nice weather.

Usually, we are seen in Crown Point, Indiana around Bulldog Park when they have cruise night or at Beggars Pizza talking about Mustangs. We try to go to all the cruise nights in NW Indiana to show our pride in our Mustangs and would love more Mustang owners to come together in the NW Indiana and show their cars off.

The Red one is a 2003 Convertible SVT 10th Anniversary Edition Cobra, owned by Randy Medina. His brother, Dan Medina, has the Blue 2012 Shelby GT500, and mine is the 2025 Mustang GT Convertible Bronze Package. My name is Scott Beck.

"Gold Nugget" Richard Atkins

My name is Richard Atkins and this is my 1965 Mustang Fastback 2+2. I like to call her Gold Nugget.

It has been my baby since I lost a family member. This is a C Code Fastback 289 V8 with Pony interior.

It has matching numbers and is all original including the factory A/C and factory radio.

I am always ready for the open road and cruising with other Mustangs.

"Never Easy" Jesse Bowers

I bought my car new in 2007. I always dreamed of having something like this since I was a teenager. It has taken me over 25 years to make that dream come true through all of life’s ups and downs. I’ve spent countless hours over the years planning my build and even slowly acquiring parts over time to make it happen.

I built a 3-2-1 Coyote engine in my basement bedroom, with ported heads, a VMP Gen3R and all of the other goodies. Even the engine was swapped in my driveway on jack stands and I tried to keep it looking as factory as possible. It sports a T-56 Mag XL, fully built / braced 8.8 with a Detroit locker and full BMR drag suspension under the rear. I have never been easy on this car since the day I bought it and I’m sure as hell not starting now.

"Murica" Chris Hemphill

My name is Chris Hemphill and this is my 2020 Mustang GT California Special.

She is #148 of 162 California Specials for that year in Oxford White.

We enjoy using it on 3-day weekend trips as often as possible. There is nothing more American than the Ford Mustang, the top down, and the wide open road!

"Blue Collar Patriot" Brandon Saunders

Blue Collar Patriot is an Antimatter Blue 2021 Mustang GT Premium 6 speed. I purchased this car three years ago in Kentucky with 18,000 miles and bone stock. I have ventured across the country on Route 66 just six days after purchasing and that was 4,200 miles. Now it’s far from what it was in many ways. I now have clocked over 35,683 miles.

Today it has beautiful color matched AC 20” wheels, Cervini cowl hood with airbrush work and pinstripes by Jeff Nelson, Cervini side exit exhaust, and stainless everywhere in the engine bay. The car just made another road trip June 2026 from Indiana to Pikes Peak summit in Colorado winning trophies the weekend before and the weekend after the trip. This car is a tribute to the working class and proud Americans.

"Red Rocket" Kane Robbins

Here is my 1997 Kenny Brown 289RS Cobra. Also known as “Red Rocket” via the magazine publications like Car and Driver, Motortrend, Muscle Mustangs, etc...

This was Kenny Brown’s personal car and media car for the company. I actually had the magazine photo in my high school locker. So it was definitely a dream car of mine years ago. The car became available for sale at Mecum’s Florida sale.

I got very fortunate to be able to purchase the car. It is definitely a part of the family now, as I have owned over 35 Mustangs. I still have a 2017 GT350R, 1966 Mustang, and now this.

As a representative of “Frontline Vehicle Solutions” I’m fortunate enough to sponsor the IMSA Ford Mustang GT4 team “Kohr Motorsports.” We also are the exclusive Florida Saleen Dealer and work closely with Kenny Brown Performance. So Mustangs are my thing.

"Reforged" James Brantley

My love for Mustangs started long before I ever owned one. Growing up, my father had a 1972 Mustang Mach 1, and ever since I was a kid, I’ve been drawn to the Mach 1 name. While my dream car remains a 1970 Grabber Blue Mach 1 powered by a 428 Cobra Jet, life eventually led me to a different chapter of Mustang history. This 2003 Mach 1 became my way of connecting the cars I admired as a child with the passion I’ve carried throughout my life. Over the years, I’ve carefully modified it with components from Steeda, BMR, MGW, Borla, American Racing Headers, and other respected manufacturers while preserving the character that makes the Mach 1 special.

What makes this car unique is its history. During my ownership, I learned that it was one of the original development vehicles used during Vortech’s design and testing of the supercharger system for the 2003–2004 Mach 1 platform. At some point, the car was returned largely to stock form, and my long-term goal is to continue rebuilding it while honoring that heritage. As I prepare to retire from the United States Air Force after twenty years of service on July 1, 2026, this project has become more than just a Mustang. It represents preservation, craftsmanship, and the beginning of a new chapter. The journey continues under the name Mach1_Reforged.
