For some the garage might simply be a convenient place to park your ride, or a good spot to stash your junk. For the Mustang enthusiast having the ultimate stable to house your most prized pony is one more piece to living and breathing the Mustang way of life.
With a budget of around $10K, Leon Griffith, of Arizona, has created his ultimate Mustang man cave, where currently a one of a kind 1968 Mustang GT350 Tribute horse is comfortably residing. This cool hideaway, is equipped with many creature comforts. Griffith invited Stang TV in for a look at his unique Man Cave retreat.

Griffith has installed epoxy flooring with metallic flakes throughout, added wiring to allow for more outlets for both air conditioning and computer access, and built a classic faux garage door that hangs upon the wall along with his acquired collection of Mustang memorabilia. He also set up a work bench station with all the needed tools, and finished the overall theme by adding a lounge area to hang out with family and friends for little TV and some R&R time.
Among Griffith’s amazing collection of memorabilia, is a rare 1967 Shelby Cobra clock that proudly hangs upon the garage wall, an original Carroll Shelby autographed photo, and a memorial photo of Carroll Shelby signed by the legendary Bob Bondurant, who raced for Shelby American, that Griffith obtained at the 80th Birthday bash of Bondurant.
Griffith has succeeded in creating a functional and cozy get away with a classic garage feel. Much like the old filling stations of their day, this design is welcoming and inviting place to tinker away in or a cool place to just hang out with some good buddies passing the time.
