Default Destroyed Mustang: Aftermarket Community Helps Owner & Tornado Victims

The Following is taken from AmericanMuscle.Com



Built Oklahoma Tough
Tornadoes are nothing new to the residents of Oklahoma. On May 20th, 2013 a 2 Mile wide EF5 tornado unexpectedly struck the town of Moore, tragically taking lives and leaving the town in shambles.

Surrounded by devastation, one local Moore resident and Mustang enthusiast caught the nation’s attention and pulled on the heartstrings of those in the Mustang community and everyone here at AmericanMuscle. Amongst the emerging tales, sits one iconic Ford Mustang that reminds the world of the “Built Ford Tough” mantra. The owners of that car, Oklahoma native Jack Haden and his pregnant wife, Stephanie, emerged from the their Tornado shelter to find their New Edge Mustang pinned up against a tree, fighting for its last start up…

After cleaning the debris piled high above their Mustang’s roof, to everyone’s surprise this pony still had some fight left in it. This Mustang started right up. Shown in the video below, the car is in far from pristine condition but nothing can stop this 232 Cubic inch Engine from laying down some rubber.








NOW THATS BUILT FORD TOUGH!

well.. i give him credit for making the best out of the situation. At least he and his family are all ok. I would be so heartbroken though.

Hopefully he can get back in the saddle of another stang soon

I don't get it...he rips off all the body panels, cuts off the roof, put on NEW wheels and tires, and then do a crazy burnout, destroying those new tires???

Oh, my bad...it's Oklahoma!! My guess is that he had no insurance on the car...

You're a real class act, Roy. Let me guess, you're the kind a person that would never miss a chance to kick a man when he's down.
