If you follow the Bullrun you might recognize Courtney and her co-pilot Gina as the Team Mustang Girls from the last few events. Courtney has had her 1965 Ford Mustang for about 6 years and she has done just about all the work on it herself. In fact, she has made cars her vocation. 

On the Bullrun Road

She got involved with the Bullrun car rally 3 years ago, the Bullrun it’s a 3000-mile journey across the USA, each year they pick a different route. Last year was Team Mustang’s biggest journey, a  road trip from Los Angeles to Portland and back again, on top of that, the girls drove to and from the rally all the way from South Carolina, over 9,000 in just 18 days.

Courtney also just upgraded the Mustang’s power plant with a 351 Windsor. She even modified the shock towers and headers herself to get it to fit properly. She painted the engine her signature magenta before putting it in. She will be showing her car at Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach, Rally North America, and the Sturgis Mustang Rally so look for her at those events.
