All Mustangs Welcome

Driven by passion. United by Mustangs.



Founded in 2024, the High Desert Mustang Club was created to bring together individuals who share a passion for the preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of the Ford Mustang. Our club exists to provide a social and recreational environment where members can connect, share experiences, and enjoy the automotive hobby together.


As a regional club of the Mustang Club of America, we are proud to represent the Mustang community throughout New Mexico with enthusiasm, respect, and a forward-thinking spirit. We welcome enthusiasts of all backgrounds and experience levels, whether your Mustang is new or classic, original or modified, show-ready or still a work in progress.


The High Desert Mustang Club is built on camaraderie, inclusiveness, and a shared appreciation for the Mustang legacy. Through cruises, car shows, social gatherings, and automotive events, our members enjoy opportunities to spend time together while celebrating a common interest.


While our primary purpose is to provide social and recreational activities for our members, the club also occasionally hosts events that create opportunities to support and collaborate with nonprofit organizations through designated fundraising efforts. These activities reflect the interests of our membership while remaining centered on fellowship and enjoyment of the hobby.

Above all, our goal is to create a welcoming environment where friendships are formed, knowledge is shared, and the enjoyment of Mustang ownership brings people together.


Sponsors

We proudly recognize our sponsors on this page to show appreciation for their support in helping create memorable experiences for our members.

Past Events

Club Founder

Hello. My name is Chris. First, I want to thank you for visiting our club website. We are a new Mustang Car Club formed in 2024 in central New Mexico. I hope you enjoy what you see and consider joining our club. My vision for High Desert Mustang Club is simple, everyone has a voice, and we treat each other like family. My goal was to create a mustang club that allowed all members to express their opinions and collaborate to make the club the best it can be. I wanted a mustang club that people not only enjoy but are proud to be members of. When joining a car club, the goal is to have fun and share experiences with one another. Whether it’s hanging out at car club events or with other club members on a personal level, our club offers members the opportunity to create those family-like bonds. By participating in club activities, members get to know one another, which then adds to the value of the car club. As part of my mission, I wanted to also create a mustang club that would participate in providing support to the community, other car clubs and charitable organizations around New Mexico. It takes a team to make all this happen and I believe you’ll find that with the High Desert Mustang Club!
