About the Club

Mustangs West was founded in 1988. Thirty-six people attended the first meeting and by August of 1989, membership had risen to 54. Today’s club has 60 plus families enjoying their Mustangs and the friendship of their fellow Mustangers. While most of our members are likely to be found at car shows, we have some who enjoy testing their skills and their car's abilities at SCCA events in Washington and Oregon. Another favorite pastime, started in 2001, is cruising to some of the attractive locales of Washington State, including, but not limited to, Mt. St. Helens, Long Beach and Crystal Mountain. Guests are always welcome on our cruises, whether from another club, or just someone who likes to go for a drive in their Mustang with other Pony Car owners for a day.

Additionally, you will find members and their cars in parades for Memorial Day, Lakefair, 4th of July, and Veterans Day, with dignitaries of various groups ranging from mayors of the Capital area cities to Veterans of our Armed Forces riding with club members.

In the spring we like to get the cars out and show them off to the community as a way to announce the upcoming summer weather by participating with Five Star Ford in Aberdeen, WA in hosting the Mustang Show-Off.

The month of September brings our club's Fall "Ponies in the Park" held at Huntamer Park in Lacey, where we have close to 200 friends of clubs from Canada to Portland show up to bid the summer good-bye!

We also sponsor various charities with funds raised from our car show, including but not limited to the Thurston County Food Bank.

Other activities include picnics, a progressive dinner, and a fun Christmas Party complete with gifts!

Mustangs West is a group of people who enjoy the ownership or entertain future ownership of America's original, and now only surviving Pony Car. We are a diverse collection of enthusiasts who enjoy a variety of activities including car shows, cruises, racing, and restoring or modifying our Ponies.

Ponies in the Park is the annual car show hosted by Mustangs West. The show features cars from all Mustang generations as well as Ford trucks and other Ford powered vehicles. Participants come from all over Washington and Oregon and even as far away as British Columbia. Although the weather doesn't always cooperate, it's always a great time spent with great friends and amazing cars!

The next show will be
Sunday, September 23, 2012. Check back in early summer for more details and registration info.
