Many years ago Carroll Shelby partnered with Hertz Rent-A-Car to provide Shelby Mustangs for the rental market. The cars were returned to Shelby and he sold them to the public for cheap because nobody wanted an ex-rental car. Today, the Hertz GT350H is a high dollar collectible sought after by Shelby fans and command six […]
Everything Shelby has been hot for the past few decades. Probably longer than that, but you can’t touch an actual Shelby anything for less than retirement sized lumps of cash, except those Shelby Dodges, but they’ve got some years before they become collectible. Regardless if you want to get a Shelby Mustang that won’t break […]
This next car is a late model Lincoln wearing 2005-ish Ford Mustang wheels, which is great but the seller REALLY should have taken 32 seconds to remove the giant spatter of bird doo before taking pictures for the advert. Find this 1988 Lincoln Mark VII offered for $1800 near Atlanta, GA via craigslist. Tip (and […]
I’ve seen a few sketchy cars for sale in my time, but I’ve never encountered the term “non repairable paperwork (no title!)” before…but lemme tell ya…it’s got me intrigued, mildly terrified, but just curious enough to check out the pictures. Its like if Stormy Daniels turned out to be Daniel Stormy if you catch my […]
The 3rd generation Fox-body Mustang needs little or no introduction to most American muscle fanatics living human beings, but perhaps a refresher is in order. Ford replaced the funky shaped Mustang II in 1979 with the Fox-body, and returned Mustang proportions to its previous long-hood/short rear end setup. The early Foxes had quad headlights, with […]
In 1999 Ford restyled the SN-95 generation Mustang in something called New Edge…which, strangely, had nothing to do with the lead guitarist for U2…but incorporated a stealth fighter-esque look into Ford’s vehicles. It was a major upgrade over the previous amorphous Mustang that looked to be one part 1st-gen Miata and two parts Pontiac Grand […]
Ford sure got a lot of mileage out of the Fox platform, pumping out the same basic car under dozens of different nameplates, shapes, and trim levels starting in 1979. They managed to keep this pony alive and kicking for more than two decades, if you count the SN95 evolution form 1993-2004. But the earliest […]
I know…I know…the world is a strange place. And people are motivated by different things across the spherical globe we call planet earth…but for the life of me…I couldn’t understand why someone would invest 100s of hours of time into transforming an old Miata into a Mustang…until I remember that old Miata’s are cheap and […]
The 3rd generation Ford Mustang was built on the legendary Fox platform and featured the equally legendary Ford 5.0 V8 from 1979-1993. A stock Fox body Mustang might not be the fastest car on the block…in fact they might be slower than the average V6 powered new family sedan…but you can’t beat the 5.0 style. […]
Compact trucks are a thing of past here in the US despite the ongoing SUV and truck boom. Ford pulled the plug on the Ranger after the 2011 model year. Rangers were made from 1983-2011 and were only available with four cylinder or V6 engines. Ford’s 302 5.0 push rod V8 is a popular engine […]
