The initial founder of Mustangs Across America Inc, Sam Haymart has been a Mustang fanatic since his teenage years. His first car was a 1967 Mustang that he built starting at age 14. The car was a basket-case shell rotting in a grassy field at a family friend’s ranch when he bought it for $100. That car combined with the “guts” of a terminally rusted out 1967 Mustang his father owned became a rolling reality when he turned 16. That car stayed in with him for over 10 years while many other Mustangs both vintage and new came and went.
At 18, he moved to Arizona to attend architectural school until he graduated and moved back to Northern California where he grew up. Soon after he became very involved with the local Mustang Club in Sacramento. His enthusiasm grew for the Mustangs and with his first good job he bough a new 1989 Mustang LX 5.0, allowing the 1967 to take it a little easier.
He has worked as an architectural designer, product and marketing manager for a large developers in California and in Arizona including JMC, Del Webb and Pulte Homes. After the changes in the housing industry in recent years Sam retired from the architectural and home building business to pursue automotive interests. Currently he is the editor of a variety of automotive publications including www.TheMustangNews.com, www.Motoring2.com, www.ActivityVehicle.com and others which ar part of the SteedPublications network.
He permanently moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2003 to escape California’s skyrocketing cost of living and to enjoy the warm winter climate of the area.
