AmericanMuscle is an American online retailer of automotive parts and accessories for Ford Mustang and Ford F-150 (F-Series truck) model automobiles. Founded by Steve Voudouris, it is one of the flagship brands and websites of Turn5 Inc., a holding company that owns and operates a group of specialty after market parts companies.

History

The AmericanMuscle brand began in 2003 when the company was operating from a home garage 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 and is one of the largest suppliers of aftermarket Ford Mustang and Ford F-150 performance parts in North America.

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