1969 Ford Mustang Turned into a Crazy Art Car

April 7th, 2010

admin

This crazy-looking 1969 Ford Mustang, spotted in Alameda, California is bound to pis off Stang fans with its over-the-top makeover.

Gluing stuff on cars is really not uncommon, but people rarely let loose their imagination on a legendary car like the ‘69 Mustang. This piece of automotive history sold over 300,000 units, in 1969, when other car-makers were lucky to push a few thousands, out the factory doors.

But to this Mustang owner, artistic calling is obviously a lot more important than history. This dude covered his 1969 Ford Mustang with a bunch of creepy stuff, from skulls and skeletons to clowns and Jack-in-the-Box spring puppets, in what looks like a desperate attempt to have his ride stand out.

Fine artistic sense or kitsch? You be the judge: (more…)

Pricing for 2011 Mustang

March 26th, 2010

Shteph

This is a war that will never stop! Pony cars war, that is! They fight on HP, looks, performance and price. And you know that when two fight, the third always wins. Third party here is us, the consumers, and we can only enjoy this war, cause if there hadn’t been Challanger and Camaro, Mustang would have never been popular and it would have never gotten the attention it gets today.

We’ve had an article a couple of months ago about Stang vs. Camaro and not a billion articles can ever bring to peace this competition through arguments. Because the two muscle cars are very much alike, it’s history, tradition and leaning towards one or the other that actually make you Camaro or Mustang fan.

Recently, pricing for 2011 Mustang has been released, and even though Ford has managed to add close to 100 horsepower to each car, the cash customers need to lay out has barely budged. (more…)

Man builds Mustang out of a Lamborghini

February 9th, 2010

Shteph

Yes, you read well! It’s not like in the case of the young Kazakh who built himself a Rolls Royce out an old Mertz. This guy here transformed a gorgeous Lamborghini into a ‘Stang. Not that this Mustang is not gorgeous, especially after all the work he’s done with it, but many don’t get the point. If he had built a Mustang out of a tiny Smart for 2, things would have been clear. Would they?!

It took him one Mustang shell, one Mustang parts car, one Lamborghini Gallardo parts car, and uncounted hours of labor to build the muscle car, including the transmission and the all-wheel-drive system. And I have to admit that he’s got skills!

I am a VERY big fan of Mustangs and honestly I would take one for the Lamborghini, so I kinda understand this guy, or maybe he just wanted to show off his talent. And if I were to be mean…usually you transform an old rusty car into a shiny home-made piece of jewelery. Touche, Lamborghini!

Mustang goes global

January 20th, 2010

Shteph

Ford began to make some arrangements in its garage like moving the Falcon Ute to a Taurus platform and even taking mighty Mustang to another level: future platform that will go global.

The initial plan was to create a new global RWD platform but because Ford invested big money preparing Euro models for the US, they had to cancel the plan.

Instead, they have other options: add some fuel-efficient, Euro engines to the current car (like the Ecoboost 4 and 6-cylinders); create a new smaller platform propelled by a modified 3.5L Ecoboost turbocharger V6 or an AWD Evo Rival.

Following the tendencies, I expect the first option to actually make it to production. However, there is a good part, namely an almost certain independent rear suspension.

Shteph

Remember the Torino GT convertible that guided the pack back in 1970? Well, for 40 years, Chevrolet’s Camaro SS has served as the iconic Indianapolis 500 pace car. This year, 2011 Ford Mustang GT is used to lead the grid around the oval on February 14th. The 412 HP 21st century 5.0 will be the first Ford to serve as the pace car for NASCAR’s biggest race since that Torino. (more…)

Camaro vs. Mustang

January 5th, 2010

Shteph

Two American red-blooded jittery beasts. But which one makes your palms sweat and your hands chafe just by seeing its locks wave in the breeze, when doing 150 on the highway? And I’m not talking about power here, ’cause it takes more than a peppery engine to label a car. I’m talking about looks, comfort, interior materials and finish. (more…)

Five “Ohs!” for the Ford Mustang Five-Point-Oh!

January 4th, 2010

Shteph

Ladies and gentlemen, let me hear you “OH!” for the Ford Mustang GT full 5.0L V8! Indulge yourselves with all 412 Mustangpower horsepower galloping in as spring 2010. Five “Ohs” for the full 5.0L engine, for the exhaust manifolds, whose conjoined design evens out exhaust flow in a compact header, for the unusual-on-a-naturally-aspirated-car redesigned oil sump, baffled for reliable oil supply to the pickup, and oil squirters under each piston to keep internal temperatures down, for the all aluminum heads, with four valves per cylinder operated by four overhead camshafts – perhaps the improvements to the valvetrain that will make the biggest difference and last but not least, for the new engine which is around 5% more fuel-efficient than the old one, meaning this indecently powerful fox will still get somewhere near 25mpg on the highway.
