The Ford Motor Company never forgets its heritage and is constantly showing us exactly how proud a company they are. That’s why last year you may remember they launched Fordimages.com, a site with archival photos of all FORD images that were previously locked away but now available for purchase. Now recently released images of Ford [...]
For over 45 years, the Mustang has been an American icon, unrivalled by any car, before or since. Since the first Fords rolled off the production line in the mid sixties, and Shelby got his hands on one a year later, the Mustang has been the car of choice for movie makers. No other car [...]
It’s not very often an original Gone In 60 Seconds movie car comes up for auction. Mainly because of the twelve cars produced for the movie five were destroyed leaving only seven left in various collections and museums. This is car number seven. One of only three used as a ‘hero’ car used and driven [...]
Almost all Australian’s would be familiar with the name David Koch. He’s a morning program presenter on one of the major networks. It was a few years ago I got word he was having a custom 1967 Fastback built for him and then I forgot all about it. Until now. Last week I stumbled across [...]
I’d like to wish all our my readers a very merry Christmas. Where ever you are in the world I hope you have a joyus day. Thanks for taking the time to read our posts and follow the the dream. Hopefully Santa is good to you all. © 2011, 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. All [...]
I love coming across these finds and it doesn’t happen too often given these cars are well over 40 years old. But here’s one to admire. It’s a 1969 Boss 429 in original condition. Only 858 were made in the two year production run and Ford handed these off to Kar Kraft to modify stock [...]
There are some fantastic road rallies and endurance races around the world that vintage cars are a part of. The Mille Miglia and Targa Tasmania are two that come to mind. But there is also the Carrera Panamericana. It’s a road rally that runs from one end of Mexico to the other which originally ran [...]
A few years back the guys over at Mustangs Plus commissioned a great project to recreate a Bullitt Mustang using one of the then new Dynacorn bodies. Working with Dynacorn and The Restomod Shop they managed to finish the project to an amazing standard and produce a great recreation clip of the chase scene from [...]
The 1967-1970 Ford Dynacorn bodies have been around now for a few years. They’ve done well in making restorations available and affordable for many more people. But news this week points to the possibility of even more bodies to add to that list. That’s right, Ford look set to release officially licensed 1965 and 1966 [...]
We’ve all seen the great looking green Fastback Mustang that stared in the Tokyo Drift version of the Fast & The Furious franchise. If you haven’t then the car was a beautiful yet controversial Mustang powered by a Nissan RB26DETT engine. Well now one of the official stunt cars has shown up on eBay and [...]
The Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction has been running this weekend and again there has been a big group of Mustangs going under the hammer. But probably the coolest thing is SPEEDtv have been running a fantasy bidding game to coincide with their live broadcast. I am a little late with this as today is the [...]
Artist Jonathan Brand has a unique story. He once owned a 1969 Ford Mustang he rebuilt with his father but had to sell it to fund an engagement ring. He’s now taking on the unusual and awesome job of rebuilding his former Mustang, art by part, actual size. From paper. From the photos you can [...]
For some reason the words ‘barn find’ induce a weird kind of excitement in me. Especially when they are associated with a vintage Mustang. Unfortunately Mustang barn finds are few and far between but they do happen. And that is just what we have here. A 1969 Boss 302 that has 45,352 on the clock. [...]
It’s been quite a while since I last posted. apologies about that as I’ve been overseas for work. But now I’m back and ready to post all things Mustang. You may remember back in January I posted about the Maharajah Of The Road which was an amazing Mustang roadtrip through India. Well unfortunately there’s still [...]
Back in January we posted about R&A Motorsports shop manager Jeff Yergovich and his efforts to have his Mustang themed reality TV show ‘American Pony Builders’ snapped up by the networks. The bad news is Jeff was unable to gain any support from the networks and has now turned to funding platform Kickstarter.com to have [...]
For many years now I’ve been hearing about the Goodwood Festival of Speed, of simply FoS. The trouble was flying all the way from Australia for one day just wasn’t going to happen. But this year I finally got to attend mainly due to the fact I now reside in London. To those who don’t [...]
When you think of Shelby you don’t usually think of a bicycle. So I was a little surprised when I read this week that Shelby and Felt bikes were collaborating to produce a limited edition cruiser bicycle and after seeing it all I can say is I want one! The individually badged and serial numbered [...]
