DEARBORN - Fred Kohler’s Mustang life had started out with a first-gen in 1964, then a ’72 Mach 1, plus two Cobra II’s – a gold-over-black one for him and a blue-over-white one for wife Reggie – before he shifted to less-exciting rides during his career in the United States Postal Service. So what’s the first thing he did after retiring five years ago? Buy a Mustang, of course. Read his email to us below to find out how much horsepower his modded 2014 V-6 Pony is putting out:

“Hi Ford Performance! I’d like to be considered for your ‘Ford Fan Spotlight.” My Mustang life started with a ’64 a long time ago, then throughout the years I had a 1972 Mach I, then came two Cobra II's – a Gold-over-Black one for me and a Blue-over-White one for my wife, Reggie. I had always told my wife that I started with a ’Stang, and will end with one.



“Well, when I retired from the USPS some five years ago (at an early age) I did just that – and went right out and bought a 2014 plain V-6 Mustang in cash. Since then, I’ve made it into what you are looking at in these photos. Everybody likes adding little ‘extras’ to personalize their Mustang, and so do I. I'm pushing about 350 horses out of it. Besides I think it’s a real beauty! Hope to see you on the road: We ride with the Central PA Stang Gang club in Altoona, PA.”
