\"Team<\/p>\n

Courtney Barber and Amie Williams of Team Mustang Girls are getting ready to head off on a series of adventures with Courtney’s ’65 Ford Mustang and later in the year, the ’78 Ford Bronco.\u00a0 As true enthusiasts, both Barber and Williams represent the heart of what RacingJunk means to the industry — people who are ride or die about their vehicles. As they travel this spring and summer, they will be sharing their adventures with RacingJunk readers, and we caught up with them before they headed down to Tennesee for “Ponies in the Smokies.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Courtney is well known in RacingJunk circles, but her partner in crime on the road, Amie Williams is equally well known amongst auto enthusiasts as a gear head, writer and producer for a variety of media outlets, including Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords<\/em>.<\/p>\n

RacingJunk:<\/strong> Amie, how did you get involved in automotive\/Mustang related things? How did you and Courtney connect?<\/p>\n

Amie Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0My dad was a pilot and lived on airports. When I\u2019d visit him in the summers as a kid I would always try to help him with whatever I could working on his airplanes, whether it was handing over tools or just watching him in awe. He was a Chevy guy mostly, and always had cool cars or trucks around. My dad passed in an airplane accident when I was 12.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always liked the Mustang. I\u2019m not sure if it had to do with my fascination of horses when I was little. When I was old enough to drive, I told my mom I wanted a Mustang. She thought they were too powerful for me to have as a teenager first learning how to drive. After a few cars and finally moving out, I turned the pages in an auto trader straight to the Ford Mustang classifieds and found a manual 2001 V6 Mustang with a few mods and an exhaust with my then-husband. We went and test drove it and brought it home. I am now on my fifth Mustang and don\u2019t plan on stopping there.<\/p>\n

RacingJunk:<\/strong> You’re going to be touring a little this spring before you head out with Ford in July. Where are you going? And are you taking the Bronco or the Mustang?<\/p>\n

Courtney Barber:<\/strong>\u00a0Our first stop is Ponies in the Smokies this week in Pigeon Forge with my 1965 Mustang followed by the Bronco Super Celebration and 55th Mustang Anniversary in April and then my favorite event of the year, the Hot Rod Power Tour. After the past three years of doing it in my Mustang, this year we will be taking the Bronco and hoping to do it topless \ud83d\ude42 That’s just fun to say.<\/p>\n
