Jimmy is a Roseville, California, native and law enforcement civilian, who happens to be an avid Mustang enthusiast. While his Grabber Blue S197 is what many people’s dreams are made of, the car is the result of humble beginnings, hard work, and a network of irreplaceable friends and family that Jimmy gives the credit of the project’s success to. It all starts in San Antonio, Texas.
“I started this project because of my love for fast cars and Mustangs,” Jimmy explains. “I always loved the 5.0L in Foxbodies, and I have owned five in the past. When the Coyote platform dropped, I told my wife I had to have one. While I ​was on base in San Antonio, I decided to look for one. I only wanted Grabber Blue with black interior.”
Even though he was looking for a car, Jimmy tells us he had no intention of purchasing one before making the move back to California. But fate would soon step in. A dealership called saying they had exactly the car he was looking for. When he arrived at the dealership he was greeted by a base model, six-speed manual, Grabber Blue GT. He decided to buy the car, so he flew his wife Patricia to San Antonio, and the couple embarked on a road trip back to the Golden State.
