Mustang of the Month

Kristin & Rich Eberly
2012 Kona Blue/White Boss 302

Our current Mustang is a Kona Blue 2012 Boss 302, and it’s a special one to us. We were lucky enough to get the single allocation from Lakewood Ford—and it was absolutely worth the wait!

Kristin’s Mustang story actually goes all the way back to Christmas of 1964, when she received her very first Mustang—a pedal car. We only wish we still had it today… not just for the memories, but because it would probably be worth a small fortune! Her next Mustang came after college—a brand new 1987 GT, ordered just the way she wanted it. Fast forward a few decades, and our garage once held both the Boss 302 and a 2012 Shelby GT500 during our track day years. While the Shelby has since gone on to a new home, it made way for a Ford Transit to support another passion— hauling our Newfoundland dogs to shows and trials.

These days, the Boss doesn’t get out as often as we’d like, but every time it does, it reminds us why we love it. There’s simply nothing better than a clear road, a sunny day, and the sound of that engine—it’s still the perfect kind of freedom.
