Mustang Girl Monday: Erin Summers Bogdan Mustang Girl For Life

Photo by Tj Lapinski

It’s Mustang Girl Monday brought to you by Team Mustang Girls. This week we’re hanging out with Erin Summers Bogdan.

Erin grew up in a gear head family with a passion for Mustangs. She found herself listening and watching close as she learned how to change the oil, a flat tire, install tint and a windshield from her father. Her brother, a Ford technician, also helped increase her skills and answered questions. Erin ‘s first Mustang memory was a 1966 white coupe bought for her as a graduation gift. It had blue interior, bench seats and no power steering. Unfortunately her parents had to sell it prior to Erin getting her license but the Mustang seed was planted. She graduated from Tech Automotive Mechanics with outstanding reviews from her teacher to pursue the industry.
Erin always dreamed of owning a Teal 94 SN95 when those came out. “It was all I could think about and thought the SN95 was the best body style of its time.”  Later in life Erin met her now husband. She was working as a manager for Royal Farms and he was reading a 5.0 magazine. Both caught her attention! He took Erin on a date in his pacific green 96 GT, and it was love. While dating she picked up a black 97 V6. “It wasn’t much to look at but I couldn’t be more proud of it. It wasn’t my teenage dream car but it was a great second”. Erin started to modify it by lowering it 1.5 inches and adding OZ Racing Monte Carlo wheels,  cold air intake , two chamber Flowmaster mufflers , and an off road H-pipe. Her husband works for Revolution Automotive and helped Erin make all the changes to the car, teaching her along the way.  Unfortunately the car was wrecked one rainy night after being cut off driving home. Which brings us to Erin’s current Mustang, a 2014 sterling gray V6 and her first brand new car! She drove her off the lot with 17 miles on it. “I kept the purchase a secret so I could surprise my husband. Within the first week the warranty was voided!” She lowered the car with Ford Racing springs, added 2015 wheels, JLT cold air intake with paint match from CJ’s, off road x pipe , 4.10 gears ,tinted windows ,Cervini upper and lower billet flat black grills, and a Rev Auto dyno tune. She went 13.40 @ 106 mph at last years ABM NATS. Not bad for a few bolt ons! “My father has a 69 alcohol N/A race car and my husband a 500 HP 96. I’m just fine with the performance considering I still am the fastest car in the grocery store parking lot! I drive the car daily and love every minute of it.”
