History

The AmericanMuscle brand began in 2003 when the company was operating from a home garage[1] and was managed by two of its current executives—brothers Steve Voudouris and Andrew Voudouris. Today, AmericanMuscle operates from the company's Malvern, Pennsylvania headquarters, which includes a 200,000 square foot warehouse, video room, training room and design area[2] and is one of the largest suppliers of aftermarket Ford Mustang and Ford F-150 performance parts in North America.[3]

The founding partners were awarded the Small Business Administration's Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2009[4] [5] for their success in building the company's forebear, Xoxide while still in high school.[6] [7] In 2009, the company changed its name to Turn5 Inc, and sold the Xoxide website to gaming equipment manufacturer and distributor, eDimensional Inc.[8]

AmericanMuscle Charity Mustang Show

AmericanMuscle is the host of the annual AmericanMuscle Mustang Show. Originating in 2008 as a customer appreciation day in the company's Malvern, Pennsylvania headquarters, the AmericanMuscle Mustang show has evolved into the largest one day all Mustang car show in the world.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Through the Mustang Car Show's fund-raising activities and efforts, AmericanMuscle has raised and donated more than $150,000 in cash to non-profit organizations.

At its 7th annual Car Show in 2015, The AmericanMuscle team rebuilt a 2000 V6 Mustang for a terminally ill 18-year-old named Jonathan to fulfill his 'Make-A-Wish' dream.[15] [16] [10] [17]

In 2017, the Turn5 team donated $126,751 to the 'Make-A-Wish' foundation.[18]
