1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
  The sound of a good ole American V-8 pumping under that hood, the rumble, the power pulses, is simply sweet music to my ears.  Although the 5.0 GT is all you would ever need in horsepower...the 1993 5.0L Cobra SVT engine is kicking out 240 Horsepower and 280 foot pounds of torque (standing 20 more horses above the 1993 GT) for those who want something more enjoyable than the usual, you might say the cobra is a bit more sinister.  If your wondering if this is a family car...absolutely, its not a "rocky rider", and its not an ill tempered hot rod that only adrenaline junkies, like myself can love, its a quick and agile car.  Think of it as a gentle war horse, if you will.  This body style was first introduced in 1979 and may have died ages ago, it still looks remarkable today, especially in white.  The hatch or "fox body" are by far one of the best looking mustangs out there, in my opinion, I enjoy them more than the 1994-2004 coupe models, they look a bit strange and wild.

1964 Mustang Convertible Restoration piece.

 
  Ford has a new deal that will allow you to go through a loop hole back in time to 1964.  With most of the original parts of the 1964 Mustang in scrapyards which are rusted or damaged beyond repair, Ford has made it where you can buy a 1964 Mustang convertible body shell and restore it yourself.  The body shell starts out at $15,000 and is made of virgin metal and uses modern welding techniques to improve the virginity of the car.  The shell comes rustproof and with final adjustments and finish preparation, is ready for painting and final assembly.  This is pretty cool, this is the Mustang that defined our generation, and was the first vehicle that everyone saluted each other with... Mustang to Mustang.  If you have any 64-66 Mustang parts, they will interchange with this body model.

2015 Mustang: Updated V8 5.0 and 2.3L turbo 4CYL Pics

 

2015 2.3L turbo 4-cyl
Ford showed up at the Detroit Auto Show, with a few wild Mustangs.  The 5.0 V8 and the 2.3L turbo 4-cyl, which were to be viewed by enthusiasts to give them a chance to see what the new Mustang is all about before sending it to dealerships everywhere.  Although Ford never intended for the hoods of any of the pony's to be opened, some visitors just sneaked in when Ford unexpectedly lifted the hood, and very quickly got some shots of the 2.3L and the very powerful 5.0L and leaked them online for all of us to see.  To whoever it was I just want to say...thank-you, I've been dying to see what the new 2.3L engine looks like in the mustang, which isn't all that bad looking.  I know most of the people who view my site like the more powerful V8 and don't get me wrong, I love power...but I love saving money in gas a lot better.  With the new turbo 4-cyl you get power up to 310 horsepower and 300 foot pounds of torque with great gas mileage, where do I sign?!  I only have one problem with the turbo 4-cyl...what does It sound like?  this year the 5.0 is going to be a bad little SOB. it got a power boost from 420 to what is now supposedly going to be close to 500 horsepower and 400 pounds lighter, this car is going to be a rocket on the road...I wouldn't be surprised if it flies. This is the year is the year to buy the 5.0

2015 Mustang: Drive one today!

    Did you know you can get behind the wheel of a 2015 Ford Mustang today?  A simple download that you can add to the game ' Need for Speed Rivals' allows you to drive and race the new Mustang virtually.  The 2015 Mustang will not go on sale until later in the calendar year, but gamers will be a few steps ahead of the rest of us in getting comfortable with Ford's new masterpiece.  This is only obtainable when gamers go online via their game console (PlayStation, PC, and Xbox).  This feature is outstanding, how many times have you said "man I cant wait until this car comes out I want to see what it is like on the road", well what are you waiting for?! go get Need for Speed Rivals, download this feature and start racing and running from the cops, it's insane, you perform impossible blood pumping stunts like power slides and 200-foot jumps off of cliffs and bridges in the desert.  I've played this game its pretty electrifying, if I do say so myself.
  
Please comment and share, thanks

2015 Ford Mustang: Mach 1

   I've heard a rumor that a 2015 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Might join the Ford line-up, once again.  Ford hasn't pushed out a Mach 1 in ten years.  This is a mustang with a blast from the past with a modern touch of technology.  This one is for the masses.  I expect this car to sell, sell, sell.  From the renderings I've seen, I just know this car will be turning heads everywhere.  The 2015 Mach 1 combines most of the old traditional features in the new, like the tri-colored mustang emblem in the grille (which I love), the Mach 1 side stripes, the black hood painted scoop and functional hood vents, which just comes together so nicely. 

  You can definitely see the history behind the vehicle.  See the distinctive front-splitter? (fig.2) ...that is something that is reserved for specialty cars with hood scoops.  But what is more interesting is what lies underneath those hood scoops. 

  The original Mach 1, a 351 cubic-inch V8 with 2 barreled carburetor came standard for 260+ horsepower.  Or a 428 cubic-inch Ram Air Cobra V8 with 335 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque.  But the people at Ford have something else in mind for the new Pony.  Supposedly its supposed to be powered by the Rumored Voo-Doo engine, which is above the Coyote 5.0L V8 currently in the GT models.  The Voo-Doo comes with 2 turbochargers, (yes u heard right).  If what I heard is correct, a 180-degree crankshaft is in place.  Because of the new crankshaft you should be able to get increased power and better throttle response, unfortunately there's a down flaw to this; the vibration of the engine will be increased and might cause problems and will require very, very careful engineering.  This is why you mainly see these engines in high-performance Italian sports cars. 

  As for the power of the car, you should get close to 550+ horsepower.  In the original Mustang Mach 1 some power was held back due to the solid rear axle.  Thanks to the new generation of Mustang, that will be getting a new fully-independent front and rear suspension, no power will be held back...ladies and gentlemen...prepare for lift off.  I think its safe to say that the new Mach 1 is cool, but is exquisite with the Rumored Voo-Doo engine.  I would love to get my hands on one of these cars, I just hope Ford makes it live up to its potential.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302: Awakened from 40-year nap



   What if you were to walk outside, go into your garage and find a Mustang hidden away in there somewhere?  Well your not the only one, I too wish I could find something as cool as a Mustang hidden in my garage.  Still reading?...good, a man in New Hampshire was plundering around on his property and stumbled upon a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Fastback stashed in his barn, 40 years after the time its owner abandoned it.

  The classic V8 colored in blue, was left behind after the owner ran over a fire-hydrant and supposedly lost interest in the vehicle in the early 70's which might have been the last time this piece of history was used.  The car was sold on eBay for around $70,000. 

  Wow! imagine that, what a rare find.  Ford only made 1,628 Boss 302's in 1969 and their value has grown more and more each year and newly restored models grabbing close to $82,000.  Wouldn't that make you start looking around in places like barns and shacks? I think so.  This Mustang looks very well preserved, even the color looks great to have been sitting for all those years.  There's no way to keep the dust off the car even under a tarp.  The interior might have some dust and a few spider webs, but shows a great level of preservation.

1967 Mustang: The "Obsidian"

    The name for this Mustang is "The Obsidian SG-one". Obsidian is the color, and "SG" for the owner, Steve Groat, and One meaning that only one will be built.  At a firm price of $315,000.00 I can see why, but there are serious collectors who will pay him an insane amount of money for this Mustang.  The heart consist of a fuel-injected 392 cubic inch V8 with twin Rotrex superchargers.  Adding to its looks, smoke-tinted glass has been installed along with LED sequential taillights and a functional rear diffuser.  Its front Coupe GT wheels makes this beast one classic that collectors would love to have in there garage.  They sure didn't overlook anything in its creation processes.  There's no mistaking this for any other than a mustang. drivability is really important, so RSS suspension with quad Brembo brakes were installed to maintain stability and safety on the highway.  2.4Ghz 60GB computer hard drive and controlled by a 10 1/2-inch touchscreen installed in the dash. This a dream vehicle, I wish I could win the lottery, this car would be mine! If they did another T.V. series like "Knight Rider", this could be the next "Kit".

Engine Specs:

Engine: 6.4L (392 Cubic inch) V-8, twin Rotex


Supercharged/Intercooled with fuel injection


Horsepower: 900HP (with 1,000HP+ with tuning)
