Mary’s Mustang

Before

After

Mary and her 1967 Mustang or “Matty Mustang” as she likes to call it, have been through a lot together. In fact, Mary’s entire family has been through a lot with Matty. The Mustang belonged to Mary’s sister and her mother before it was passed onto her. Unfortunately, after 15 years with the fam, Matty needs some…no, tons of work. Thankfully Xzibit is on the scene to help revive this family heirloom.

“It looks like Customs got a hold of this when you were crossing the border!” X proclaims when he sees the ride–and he isn’t talking about West Coast Customs. The Mustang is three different colors, four if you count rust, the windows are broken, there is stuffing from the seats everywhere, and although the seat belts work, the seats aren’t even bolted to the car, and there is no floor beneath the driver’s chair. Mary is taking her life into her hands with this ride, but, after all of these years, Matty is family.

Mary even took an auto shop class to try to fix up her Mustang, but soon found out shop wasn’t her thing when she tried to super glue the car back together. Better let the pros at West Coast take a stab at rehabilitating ol’ Matty. Mary demonstrates the Dukes of Hazard way to get into the car by sliding through the window when X can’t seem to get the door open, but he opts to use the passenger door.

When X and the Mustang pull into the West Coast garage, Q exclaims that “this is the worst ride yet!” Not a good sign, but the guys soon devise a plan and put it into action. After the interior is ripped out and the exterior is painted, the guys decide that Matty needs something a little extra special…fire. What would be hotter than when Mary steps on the gas, flames shoot from the Mustang’s tail pipes? Soon, Matty is transformed into a live fire starter, and the boys even get to roast some marshmallows before they’re told they have to dismantle the flame shooters because they’re not street legal.

Soon it is time for Mary to see the new, pimped-out Matty Mustang. When the ride is revealed, she is stunned. Matty is now dressed in turquoise color, sports 17-inch custom wheels with chrome rims that you need sunglasses to look at, and an entirely new interior that includes reclining seats (bolted down even!), in which X shows Mary how to do the “gangsta lean.” There’s also a DVD player in the dashboard with a monitor mounted on the ceiling, so Mary can lay back, kick it and watch some flicks, plus a radio with six surround sound speakers. Xzibit even surprises Mary with something for her other love, surfing. X gives her a brand new surfboard that she can attach to the roof of her new ride.

Mary’s family is overjoyed at the sight of the new Matty Mustang, and Mary can’t wait to hit the beach in her new ride, and with her new board. Now thanks to the guys at West Coast, Matty can last another 15 years and be the ride for future generations!
