History

In 1999 after scaring a gentleman at the Ford dealership in San Diego on a routine test drive, Jason Gavin knew he was hooked on the Ford Mustang. The day finally came when he found the dark forest green 94 GT coupe with the 5.0 liter engine. This was going to be the foundation of a project that would continue for years to come.

Attending college at Cal Poly SLO during the height of the dot com boom, it sparked his attention on creating simple websites that featured his car and the modifications he had performed. Creating these websites lead to an additional hobby that one day grew into an Internet business. This business featured tourism photography for the local college town and whenever possible he would make sure to have his car placed discretely in the shots -kinda "Where's Waldo" effect.

It wasn't long after the business was sold and he moved back to Southern California did the "itch" strike him again. He had been following several Ford related websites that hadn't changed much in design and functionality in years so he decided to create his own. In fall of 2005 while holding a full time job he began planning for his side project "CoolFords.com".

Over a year and half in the making and many hard decisions whether to put money into his car or the website, that the site was finally released in Spring 2007.
