If you happen to think that young people aren’t much interested in old Mustangs, think again. Our note from Kali Sunde from South Carolina is yet another in a long line of communications with young Mustang club members who drive a late-model Mustang but also own or have owned a first-gen classic. Not only has Kali driven from coast to coast in her 2016 steed, but she also hopes to make the trip in her classic the next time around. And her ’68 Mustang V-8 Coupe isn’t even the only early Mustang that she’s owned! Check out her story below:

“Hello, Ford Performance! My name is Kali Sunde and I am 25 years old and living in Charleston, South Carolina. I saw Logan Hickman featured in your Ford Fan Spotlight earlier this year (he is a fellow member of the Low Country Mustang Cub), and wanted to share the story of my Mustangs.

“I have a 2016 Mustang EcoBoost and a 1968 Mustang 289 Coupe. I previously owned a 1966 Coupe that I restored. I’ve always had a passion for Mustangs, specifically the classics.

“I took my EcoBoost on a cross-country road trip from Charleston, SC, to Santa Monica, CA, in the summer of 2018. We did parts of old Route 66 along the way. She’s my daily driver and I just crossed 50k miles on my 2016 Mustang. I bought her new with less than 10 miles on the odometer. My dream is to take my ’68 on the same trip someday in the future. Thanks!”

How YOU can Get In The Spotlight: For the past decade, one of the most popular features on FordPerformance.com and in our weekly Fast News e-newsletter continues to be "Ford Fan Spotlight," where readers can send in their own reasons why they're fans of Ford Motor Company and its vehicles. You know who they are: Ford "superfans;" grassroots Ford racers; unique Ford vehicle owners; loyal Ford enthusiasts; notable Ford club people; special Ford families; and/or any avid supporter of Ford, Ford vehicles, Ford motorsports or Ford Performance who deserves a little bit of special recognition.

All you need to do to get you, your car or candidate considered is to send in a brief description (200-500 words or less) and a few photos (in .jpeg format, preferably around 1 mb in size) with the owner’s full name and hometown, please. Just tell us about the vehicle(s) and why you think Ford Performance should feature it (them) in the "Ford Fan Spotlight" for an upcoming installment of Fast News as well as for posting on FordPerformance.com. Then email it to: ClubHub@Ford.com with your contact info. Should you wish to send a video, you simply need to post it on www.YouTube.com (preferably 1-2 minutes long) and send in the link, along with a brief description, to that same ClubHub@Ford.com email address. Your submission allows us the rights to use your words and images (along with any edits) for editorial purposes; we’ll choose one submission in random order each week to post online. We hope to see YOU and your Ford in our Spotlight soon!
