A 1967 Ford Mustang With a Rooftop Tent Is All You Need to Travel the Country
After surviving a near-death experience, a young family sold their home and hit the road in the vintage 'Stang.
The same forces that have crushed dreams for the past 18 months have also spurred a handful into fruition. An intrepid few are out answering the call of the road, living out of JDM vans, and tackling breakdowns with a lot of grit and a little bondage equipment. Others are journeying America in a 1967 Ford Mustang stuffed to the gills with their family and camping gear, ticking off bucket list items after realizing how near their feet the bucket sits.
Washingtonian-turned-wanderer Drew McCullough "decided to start living" after suffering a spinal injury that nearly took his life. To him and his family, that meant roaming the country in a classic Mustang. So, they acquired one, topped it with a gutter-mount Yakima roof rack from a Jeep, and prepared to become blacktop nomads. They donated or sold most of their property, moved what remained to a storage unit, and rerouted their mail to a family member's address. By Christmas 2020, they were ready to hit the road.
