This is the tag on Tom Bader’s 2005 mustang GT. The car was built on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 in Flat Rock Michigan. Which is where all current mustangs are now built? After searching Ford Dealerships in San Antonio looking for his dream car, Tom took a road trip north stopping at Dealerships along the way. He finally found the car he wanted at Five Star Ford in Oklahoma City. Agreeing on a price, which took most of the day,

Tom had keys and title in hand on December 1, 2005. The GT is Mineral Gray with Dark Charcoal Leather, V-8 Engine putting out 300 horsepower and 320 lbs of torque, 5-speed Transmission, and a 3.55 geared rear end. It has a 500 watt AM/FM 6CD/MP3 Stereo, Anti-theft System, upgraded IUP dash, and side air bags. All of the above is stock from the factory. Now that it has a few miles, Tom has started to add his own personnel touches. He has added a Tri-axle Shifter, sequence tail lights, shock tower brace, and gas struts for raising the hood. Tom also lowered the car 1.5 in. in the front and 1.25 in. in the rear. He had the stock aluminum rims wheels powder coated black chrome and replaced the stock tires with larger 255-50 17’s. The front bumper and hood edge has been treated with an X-pel Bra, a small pin stripe to break up the body line, and Saleen rear quarter windows. The engine is still stock for now, but changes are planned. So I guess,
if you love mustangs, you can say it is “2Wish4”.


Tom got involved with Mustangs about 20 years ago. He joined the Heart of Dixie Mustang Club in Montgomery, Al. As time passed he became president, next thing he knew Tom was invited to become a board member for the Mustang Club of America. Tom served on the board for 4 years. Tom was certified as a gold card judge for late models and modified cars. Over the years Tom has had four totally different mustangs. His first was a 1985 GT, which after buying all the parts from Saleen Motor Sports, he built his our personnel Saleen. This car was feature in different Mustang magazines in 1990. His next car was a 1985 Coupe which was converted from a 4 cylinder to a 13 sec street car. Next was a ASC McLaren which he first bought for Vicki and is still in the family.
He’s left it stock, (hard to change a good thing). So for now the garage has a 1988 Mustang (ASC McLaren),  a 2005 Mustang GT,
and a 1993 F-150 Lightning.
