Celebrity Mustang Owners
Celebrity Mustang Owners
Mustangs don’t just appeal to everyday folks like you and me, celebrities like to get in on the classic Detroit muscle, too!
Bob Seger
Our favorite hometown rocker Bob Seger has a Mustang of his own! This beauty is a 1971 For Mustang Mach 1:
In an interview with Motortrend.com, he talks about his love for the classic muscle car.
Seger loves his 1971 Mustang, a 429 SCJ Super Cobra Jet. “I love listening to the big block,” he says. “That’s what I love about it. It’s very comfortable. It’s a hardtop, grabber green. It’s totally unrestored; it’s the way it was when it came out of the factory and it looks really good. I know the definitive Boss 9 or 429 is the ’69-’70 but I prefer the ’71. I can’t remember the guy’s name, but some Japanese designer designed it for Ford. And I just love the design. I think it’s beautiful.”
Tim Allen
Another celebrity son of Detroit Tim Allen, has also embraced the Mustang life. He’s rumored to have a “$50,000 hyper-customized Mustang which does 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, reaches the quarter mile in 12.4 sec. and can achieve a top speed of 184 mph.”
Eminem
The third Detroit celebrity to have a Mustang, is Eminem, who purchased a 1999 For Mustang convertible with his first royalty check! Dubbed the “purple-pill” Mustang because of it’s custom painted exterior, it was auctioned off in 2002.
Other celebrity Mustang owners/lovers include rocker Sammy Hagar, Jay Leno, former President Bill Clinton, Charlie Sheen, Jim Morrison of the Doors, and more!
