The final day of Mustang Week 2025, presented by CELSIUS and Hardee’s, closed out with the All-Ford Cruise-In, presented by Hardee’s, at the Myrtle Beach Mall. The event offered a more relaxed atmosphere to finish the week while still providing plenty to see and do.
Unlike the Friday car show, the Cruise-In is open to all Ford vehicles, not just Mustangs. The mix of Blue Oval machines provides something different for fans to enjoy. Plus, music, food trucks, vendors, and merchandise tents created a lively setting throughout the day.
Buffy Poole’s 1970 Mach 1 is a mild street build powered by a 351 Windsor with aluminum heads, a mild cam, and Holley Sniper EFI. However, it was the striking tri-stage paint lifted from a late-model Mazda that grabbed our attention. Then we noticed the S550 Performance Pack wheels and how great they look on this classic. Rolling on those rims is enabled by an Anthony Jones Engineering K-member that makes use of SN-95 front suspension. In all, it is a sharp street stallion.
The Mustang Week Dyno Challenge presented by AMSOIL and powered by VMP Performance, continued until the top horsepower makers earned their awards, and the car show awards closed out the event, providing a fitting finale for those who participated in Friday’s crown jewel event.
By the time the awards are handed out and the lots begin to clear, Mustang Week 2025 delivered another week packed with amazing events, forged friendships, and Ford performance before everyone headed home.
Presenting sponsors of Mustang Week 2025, CELSIUS and Hardee’s were out at the All-Ford Cruise-In handing out goodies. Ice-cold cans of CELIUS energy drink were flowing all day near the Mustang Week tent, while the Hardee’s star made rounds through the cruise-in, handing out coupons for a free breakfast sandwich with a $1 purchase.
Next up on the Mustang Week calendar is the second installment of Mustang Week Texas, which is scheduled from April 14-18, 2026, in Galveston, Texas, so start making your plans now, as you don’t want to miss all the action in the Lone Star State.
LMR and Foxy Events teamed up on an unofficial cruise from Top Golf to the All-Ford Cruise-In, which resulted in a strong showing of Fox-platform machines at the Myrtle Beach Mall. Among them was this sharp four-eyed Ghia powered by a nicely upgraded 351 Windsor.
Mike Kidd of TREMEC bestowed six Stick Shift Awards to lucky owners of clean Mustangs that sported his company’s manual transmissions. Among the winners were Travis Ford’s 1986 Mustang, Alex Hicks’ 2008 Mustang Bullitt, VJ Fowler’s 2004 Mustang Cobra, Ernes Hadzic’s 2016 Shelby GT350, Braddy Carter’s 1966 Shelby GT350, and Kenneth Dillon’s 1970 Mustang Mach 1.
The Mustang Week Dyno Challenge presented by AMSOIL and powered by VMP Performance, kept the chassis dyno working hard for the remainder of the Mustang Week 2025 as competitors tried to put down the highest rear-wheel output.
Hailing from right here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Zachary White drove his 2024 Mustang Dark Horse into the All-Ford Cruise-In. It looked sharp, with a low-slung ride height that showcased those S650 body lines perfectly, set off by sharp 20-inch wheels wrapped in Nitto rubber.
The final day of Mustang Week 2025, presented by CELSIUS and Hardee’s, offered a great opportunity to get up close and personal with Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s infamous Mustang GTD, which he took delivery of and quickly rolled into the paint booth for some of his signature Ready To Rock flavor.
Obviously, the All-Ford Cruise-In welcomes more than pony cars to the Mustang Week 2025 festivities. Among the non-Mustangs was this pristine 2004 SVT Lightning pickup. It looks factory fresh on the outside, but the powertrain benefits from a suite of carefully curated upgrades headlined by a Whipple 2.3-liter supercharger.
