Amanda Walbrecher has been interested in cars her entire life and was lucky enough to grow up in the garage thanks to her mechanic dad. She bought her first Ford Mustang when she was 14 years old, "before I could even drive," remembers Walbrecher. "It was a red 1997 GT that took me forever to save up for." She did some simple modifications - exhaust, new rear, gears, etc. After graduating college she decided to reward herself with another Mustang, a new red 2014. After having the car 3 years, she had done full bolt-on mods and was craving a new project. "I really wanted a black car, and I knew I wanted a 2012 Mustang - my favorite front end," Walbrecher states. When she found out a friend was selling his, she knew she had to have it. "I bought Mustang number 3, a black 2012 GT, in February of 2018," she mentions.
Since then, she modified the 2012 Ford Mustang GT with many parts, including a custom color, Air Lift Performance suspension, new wheels, seats, carbon fiber interior, splitters, lights, and many more.
"I love modifying cars because it allows me to be creative and unique," Walbrecher mentions. "My cars have brought me so many friends and opportunities over the years, I really can't imagine my life without them!"
