May 7th, 2008 by CobraMatt

News that Ford Motor Company had reached the 9 Million mark with Mustang sales has been all over the net in recent weeks and now the mystery of where the car has landed is over. The lucky owner of the 9 Millionth Mustang is farmer Thomas Krumm from rural Story City, Iowa who ordered his Vista Blue Mustang GT convertible unknowingly through his local Ford dealer. Krumm picked up his Mustang on May 6th and found out that he bought a piece of history.

Krumm, a farmer from rural Story City, became interested in Mustangs through his daughter, Rachael, a Mustang enthusiast who saved enough money to buy her first Mustang at age 17.

“Having been a Mustang fanatic my entire life, I couldn’t be more excited that my dad is receiving the 9 millionth Mustang,” said Rachael Krumm, who also is a member of the Iowa National Guard. “I am thrilled that I get to see his Mustang GT and its cool new features before I leave for Iraq.”

“Mustang is an icon, and the 9 millionth Mustang is a milestone we’re very proud of,” said Fritz Wilke, Mustang Brand Manager.

“So many people have contributed to Mustang’s proud 44-year heritage possible – from incredible Mustangs owners and enthusiasts to our partners at AAI where Mustangs are built to Ford’s Product Development and Ford Division teams,” he said.
