It’s Mustang Girl Monday brought to you by Team Mustang Girls. This week we’re hanging out with photographer, and mother of three, Melissa Janz,. And of course she’s a big Mustang fan, even as a child Janz had a passion for Mustangs. A tradition she’s passed on to her 14 year old son, whose dream car is a Shelby GT500.  

Janz got her first car at the age of 15 from her step dad, a red  ’66 coupe.  Unfortunately soon after Janz’s mom said it was “too much car for a girl” and the car was sold. 21 years later Janz found herself reunited with her love, a red ’05 Mustang GT. She was drawn to the revived classic body style. She managed to hold on to this one for a little longer than the first.  But after a year with the car her teenage daughter totaled it, leaving Janz with the haunting question “was my mother right?”

Now Janz is waiting for her next chance to get acquainted with a  Mustang again. Although she has yet to decide if it will be a pre ’70 or the new body style. Until then she is lucky enough to have buddies like Trevor Welch. He is the owner of the ’66 Mustang in the photos. Janz was doing a pin up shoot and needed a car. She remembers thinking “I want a classic and it must be a mustang”. Welch was kind enough to bring his baby down to the shoot. 

As you can tell from the photos Melissa had a good time posing with the car, and a classic Mustang seems to fit her style. We look forward to hearing about her next Mustang purchase, good luck Melissa!
