FORD TORINO GT
Walking around a 1970/71 SportsRoof Torino at a classic car show in the States could be a confusing experience for Ozzie Ford enthusiasts. They might well be wondering, ‘Have I come all this way to look at a customised XA-XC Falcon hardtop?’ And for good reason.
When Ford Australia’s designers and engineers first sat down with blank sheets of paper in 1968 to come up with an all-new Falcon for 1972, the brief required them to make a comprehensive break from past styling. The boxy Falcon XY shape was to make way for the organic flowing look we became familiar with in the XA model and the subsequent XB and XC updates. At that time the Torino team at Dearborn was a couple of years ahead of Ford Australia in making a similar transition to a sleeker body style. No surprise then that the Ford Australia team made a conscious decision to draw on the second-generation Torino concept for some XA design elements. The decision was a no brainer. Why put in the effort and take on the costs of the pioneering stage of developing a new model when your corporate cousins have already done those hard yards?
Tumblr media
Perhaps I’m not alone in admitting that the Torino made only a smallish blip on my Ford-model radar over the years. My excuse is that from an Australian perspective at least the Torino existed largely in the shadow of its high-profile stablemate, the Mustang.
This relative anonymity is surprising when you consider the Torino’s exposure on screens large and small over the decades. While the Gran Torino model got excellent exposure in the Starsky and Hutch TV series in the 70s and 80s and the later movie, its starring role in Clint Eastwood’s perfectly named 2008 movie, Gran Torino. capped off its profile raising. After seeing that movie you had a pretty good handle on what at least one classic Torino – the 1972 Gran Torino Sport – was all about. But there’s way more to the Torino story than was revealed by its '15 minutes of (TV/movie) fame'.
Tumblr media
The Torino was launched in 1968 as an upmarket, upsized addition to the US Fairlane range. Naming it after Italy’s Motown was an interesting, but not ground-breaking move for Fomoco, with models like Capri, Montego and Granada also honouring various geographical locations. I'm not too sure, though, that a generously sized Torino would be my first choice for navigating the often narrow and crowded confines of its namesake city’s streets.
The Torino’s arrival relegated Fairlane-badged cars to entry-level status in Ford’s intermediate-category (US) line-up – a point underlined by Fairlane's sharing a number of panels with the utilitarian Ranchero pickup. Ultimately the Fairlane name was dropped from what had become the Torino model-range, bizarrely at the time when the Australian Fairlane was just hitting its straps as a desirable aspirational model with a long profitable future ahead of it for Ford Australia.
Tumblr media
The Torino covered most model-variant bases with two four-door sedans, a two-door hardtop, even a Squire wagon, as well as Torino GT versions that also included a convertible. While base-line Torinos initially offered a 200ci in-line six as standard, V8 options included the 302ci, two versions of the 390ci and some months into the 1968 model year the 428ci Cobra-Jet was added to the motor menu to give credibility to the GT version's claim to 'Muscle Car' status.
The fresh styling of the second-generation Torino of 1970/71 we opened with was widely praised by the American motoring media. New engines included the 351ci Cleveland and buyers really wanting to burn some bitumen could opt for the Torino Cobra, powered by the legendary Cobra-Jet 429, a purpose-built hi-po engine that claimed an impressive 370 horsepower. Healthy Torino sales continued to produce smiles in Ford’s executive suite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By 1972 with the 'Muscle Car' era fading to grey in the US, the GT label was dropped in favour of the blander ‘Gran Torino Sport’ label. These larger third-generation Torinos moved from the previous car’s taut ’n' terrific unitary construction, in favour of heavier body-on-frame construction. The Torino’s high-performance glory days were now fading fast.
Further evolution through to 1976, the Torino’s finale model, produced successively more laid-back Torinos – a process that for performance fans provided a grim contrast with the early Torino Cobras that had proudly flown the Ford flag in NASCAR racing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ford's Torino made a great start in 1968 by selling more than 100,000 units into a market begging for affordable ‘muscle’ cars. 1969 saw numbers dip by half but then recover. Entering the 1970s, sales were averaging above 60,000 annually. Lots of GT Torinos have been preserved or restored so there remains a deep pool into which buyers can dip to find decent cars.
Scarce variations including the 429 Cobra-Jet and Talladega occasionally top six figures in US sales but aren’t as yet totally out of reach.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The minimum specification a Torino buyer should consider while remaining credible is an M-Code with 5.8 litres and automatic transmission. These were built from 1970-72 and a few did come to Australia. Importing a decent car today will cost $45-55,000.
Seeking out a 6.4 or even 7.0-litre (390 or 428 cubic inch) GT will more seriously dent the balance. However they generally cost less than similar-looking XA-XB Falcon GT Hardtops.
Deep pockets and due diligence come to the fore when your target is an R-Code Cobra. Genuine, number-matching cars in close to showroom order (plus the cost of freighting and registering upon arrival) will top A$100,000.

TVR Vixen
Although the Vixen used the same chassis as the outgoing Tuscan, the significant change was the use of the 1599 cc Ford Kent engine, as found in the Ford Cortina GT, developing 88 bhp. The Ford unit was selected in order to keep prices as low as possible and because of supply problems from BMC.
The Cortina unit was less powerful than the MGB engine which developed 95bhp, but it was also lighter. To use up remaining supplies, the first twelve Vixens built still received the MGB engine.
The Vixen’s bodywork was also slightly revised, with the bonnet having a broad flat air intake scoop and the rear of the car was fitted with the round “Ban the Bomb” Cortina MK I tail lamps.
The S1 was replaced by the heavily modified TVR Vixen S2 in October 1968. The S2 was built with a longer 90 inch wheelbase chassis, introduced on the Tuscan V8 but which TVR had now standardised to address complaints about difficulty of ingress. The bonnet was restyled again, with some early cars having a prominent central bulge and later cars having twin intake ducts at the front corners of the bonnet. The tail lamps were updated from the round Cortina MK I style to the newer wraparound Mark II style. Also very significant was the fact that the body was bolted, rather than bonded to the chassis, meaning it could be easily removed for repairs.
The interior was improved, with a leather-skinned steering wheel mounted much lower than before. In a further attempt to improve the quality feel, the body was thicker and panel fit was improved.
In December 1968, TVR announced that two more models, the S.2 Sport and S.2 Super Sports would be available as standard. These models came with an uprated engine from Speedwell including fully balanced bottom end, ported cylinder head and two twin choke Weber carburettors, with the Sports producing 100bhp and the Super Sports 115bhp. Both of these models came with seat belts and leather steering wheel as standard.
The S3 continued to improve the car with a number of detail changes. The heat extraction vents on the flanks behind the front wheels were decorated with “Aeroflow” grilles borrowed from the c-pillars of the Ford Zodiac Mark IV and the Ford four-cylinder engine was now in the same tune as in the Ford Capri, producing 92 bhp. Instead of wire wheels, cast alloy wheels were fitted as standard.
The S4 cars were an interim model that used the TVR M Series chassis with the Vixen body shell. Apart from the chassis, there were no significant mechanical or cosmetic changes between the S3 and S4. Twenty-two were built in 1972 and one in 1973.
The 1300 model arrived in late 1971 and was built in an attempt to fill an “economy” market segment for sports cars. It was powered by a 1296 cc Standard SC engine from the Triumph Spitfire engine making 63 bhp, and its lack-lustre performance limited its sales success. Top speed was barely 90 mph. Only fifteen were built, all in 1972. The final six of these cars were built on a M Series chassis and the very last 1300 was also built with M Series bodywork, although it never received a “1300M” designation.

FERRARI 250 LM - MODEL PRESENTATION
Unveiled at the Paris Salon in October 1963, the 250 LM is a berlinette version of the 250 P which, presented in the previous March, can already boast of many successes in the race, before a victory at Le Mans in 1964. Designed under the authority of Chief Engineer Carlo Chiti, it is the first competition Ferrari with a V12 engine in a central position. The 246 SP inaugurated this new architecture in 1961, but with a V6 engine.
For the 250 LM, Scaglietti has signed a masterful shape, whose tapered front draws an amazing contrast with the long and muscular back that reveals the presence of powerful mechanics. The small central arch brings lightness to the pavilion, and one of the most spectacular elements is the vast hood that rises like a cathedral to reveal the bowels of this radical machine.
With the 250 LM, Enzo Ferrari wants to take over from the 250 GTO and have it homologated in GT. But if FIA officials have turned a blind eye to the Commendatore's tendentious arguments that allowed the homologation of the 250 GTO (which he had announced as a simple evolution of the 250 GT), this time they do not let themselves go and demand the production of the 100 copies required. However, Ferrari will only produce 32, so that the 250 LM will remain in the "Prototypes" category and will have to compete against more powerful cars, the most emblematic of which will be the Ford GT40 mentioned above. Glorious protagonist of the Ford-Ferrari duel, the 250 LM beautifully defended the colors of the Italian manufacturer by compensating for its power deficit with qualities of handling and maneuverability that were lacking in other more powerful cars. Carlo Chiti had seen it right by managing to convince Enzo Ferrari to switch to the rear engine, when he was reluctant.
Moreover, the 250 LM should have been called 275 LM (according to the Ferrari nomenclature using the unit displacement) because after the copy of the Paris Motor Show, the following ones received a 3.3 Liter engine; hoping to deceive the vigilance of the FIA for the reasons mentioned above, Enzo Ferrari wanted to keep the name 250.
Given its design, the 250 LM was intended for the track much more than for the road, and most of the copies produced have experienced the throes of competition and its hazards. However, this is not the case with the car we present, whose career took place in the hands of individuals and collectors who have never engaged it in the race. It was certainly present in 1966 at the 24 Hours of Daytona, but as a simple reserve car. This is why it is now beautifully preserved of origin, as we will see later.
THE FERRARI 250 LM OF THE SALE, #5901
The complete history of this work of art is established and documented by brand specialist Marcel Massini. According to the manufacturing sheet of this 250 LM, its tubular chassis was supplied to the Scaglietti bodywork in Modena on June 24, 1964. On September 18, the assembly of the engine, carried out by mechanic Baschieri, was completed under the control of foreman Amos Franchini. It was the same Amos Franchini who supervised the assembly of the gearbox, completed on September 23 by Ivo Giusti. The official order of Luigi Chinetti, boss of the N.A.R.T. (North American Racing Team) and importer of the brand based in New York, dated the following November 6, followed on the 14th by the manufacturer's invoice. On November 20, the car was transported to the port of Livorno and embarked on board the cargo ship Maria Costa, which then left for New York. After his arrival, the car was sold by Chinetti to its first owner, Raymond John Augusterfer, residing in Philadelphia.
On February 5 and 6, 1966, this Ferrari 250 LM was used as a reserve car for the 24 Hours of Daytona by the N.A.R.T., but no damage having stopped the engaged cars, it will not take part in the race and will remain in the paddock. The following year, Luigi Chinetti took over the car and sold it in 1968 to George Arents, from Warren, then in 1969 to Walter and Irene Young, from Wilton. After a visit to Kirk F. White Motorcars (Philadelphia), the car was bought on June 29, 1970 by William B. Rearden (Villanova, Pennsylvania), for the sum of $16,500 with, in soulte, his Ferrari 330 P Spider. Rearden kept her for eight years, while she appeared in issue 37 of Prancing Horse, the Ferrari Club of America bulletin, next to the 330 LMB and the Dino 246 GTS in her collection. Its owner also had the opportunity to use it on June 1, 1974 at the Ferrari club's annual meeting on the Lime Rock circuit, then at the Ferrari Parade organized as the opening of the Watkins Glen F1 race on October 5, 1975.

F1 star Daniel Ricciardo helps Ford drop a bombshell with a radical all-new Mustang Mach-E SUV
Think Daniel Ricciardo didn't hit the track at the Australian Grand Prix? Think again! How Aussie F1 star helped Ford drop a bombshell with a radical, all-new Mustang SUV Mustang Mach-E does 0-100kmh in 3.7 seconds Ford's first all-electric vehicle for Australia  Addition to famous brand goes on sale this year  By Shayne Bugden For Daily Mail Australia Published: 02:05 EDT, 5 April 2023 | Updated: 02:05 EDT, 5 April 2023 One of the biggest stories out of last weekend's Australian F1 Grand Prix was the fact Daniel Ricciardo wasn't going to turn a wheel in anger on the track now that he's Red Bull's reserve driver - but that was wide of the mark. The local hero did get a couple of hot laps around Albert Park, but not in the all-conquering RB19 - instead, he was behind the wheel of the scary-fast Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV. The Blue Oval's first all-electric passenger vehicle for the Australian market was right at home on the main straight, as Daily Mail Australia can attest after riding in one of the three vehicles that tackled the circuit just ahead of the grand prix. Ricciardo had a ball as he drove the flagship model Mustang Mach-E GT (pictured) around the Albert Park track after marvelling at its ridiculous pulling power  The Mach-E GT makes 358Kw and an incredible 860 Newton metres of torque - propelling it to a Ferrari-like 0-100kmh time of just 3.7 seconds With a stunning 358kW of power on offer, the flagship Mach-E GT hurtles from a standstill to 100kmh in a claimed 3.7 seconds, which is the sort of rare territory usually occupied by supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini. No other Ford on sale in Australia will be able to touch that figure - including its petrol-powered V8 Mustang cousins.   The other key to that incredible quickness is the vehicle's 860 Newton metres of torque, which prompted Ricciardo to say, 'I don't even know how much that is - and I still don't know how much an F1 car makes!' as the GT was unveiled to a crowd on the Albert Park infield. With acceleration so intense it makes you feel like you're being shoved back into your seat by a professional wrestler, the new Mustang made short work of the straights.  It's an SUV, but not as we know it: The GT features all-wheel-drive for incredible traction, magnetic suspension - and a striking panoramic sunroof (pictured) The three-model Mach-E range will go on sale in Australia later this year Ford's new SUV features a luxurious interior that comes complete with a touch screen that's so big it could double as a lounge room television set It doesn't corner like you'd expect an SUV to, either, thanks to its state-of-the art MagneRide suspension and exceptional brakes - although Daily Mail Australia's driver, Aussie Formula 3 star Christian Mansell, can take some of the credit as well. Inside, the electric Mustang is the opposite of a race car, packing all mod cons - including a touch screen up front that's so large it could double as a lounge room television. There's also a huge panoramic sunroof for all three Mach-E models, with the rear-wheel-drive Select and Premium joining the all-wheel-drive GT in the line-up. Range is always a big question with electric cars and the Select clocks in at 470km, with the Premium lasting close to 600km on a charge and the GT - which goes through its available power faster due to its focus on performance - good for 490km. Ricciardo was on hand for the launch after Ford and Red Bull announced they are partnering up to develop a next-generation hybrid power unit for use in F1 starting from the 2026 season. And he obviously had a ball in the GT on the track as he caught up to the back of Daily Mail Australia's car and seemed to be glued to the rear bumper bar, flashing that famous smile of his as the Mustangs hurtled into turn one.  Share or comment on this article: F1 star Daniel Ricciardo helps Ford drop a bombshell with a radical, all-new Mustang Mach-E SUV via Formula One | Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

Wedding Car
Another little adventure came up last night, that I participated in...
thru the years, our 1936 Ford, has been involved with a few weddings. 
Buddy Mark Hutchins texted and wanted to know if our car was available for a wedding.  A friend of his knew Mark was a car guy, and would probably know of someone, who’d have an old cool looking vehicle....
And he did... us. 
I like doing weddings. 
Many folks have old treasured cars. For good memories, investments, activities, a hobby to keep busy. 
Unless you are very rich, the investment sort of reasoning, is usually a loss, or if you are very lucky with your purchases. The vehicles that are in my range will not create any high profits. And most total restorations and/or modified have sunk so much money into the vehicle they will never get their money back. Extremely hi dollar vehicles on the other hand will create profits, but the market has to demand it with each individual vehicle. 
For example currently, the early 2000′s Ford GTs are commanding huge profits. And because of that, those very same Ford GT’s are coming out “for sale” by the truck load....   this could eventually flood the market value down. 
People who usually do car hobby this way, do not have emotional attachments to their vehicle. 
Car show guys are hard to figure, but make sense on the surface. I don’t really want to get into any depth here,  Other than an observation....  These owners are to an extent, slaves to their cars, only to show them and particapate in Car Club events (usually more shows). 
I’ve done car shows. Usually just because someone asked. I don’t do them regular by any means, and if I do one, I prefer something like a show and shine like “Culvers” every friday night. No hoopla, not huge amounts of folks, or cars. Just show up, look at everyone elses, maybe talk to a few folks about their cars,  and leave. 
What I like about wedding parties.... it gives another purpose to your collectible. At car shows, my Pop loved folks looking at his car, and talking about the “36″. He’d even go so far and let them sit in it if asked. 
Now when I do show, I’ll let them even sit in the rumble seat. Yes, it does indeed create wear and tear, but how many folks can actually say they sat in a rumble seat. I know Pop would just love this attitude I’ve taken. As do all of his grandsons.
Our “36″ is not a museum piece. Or better than new. Sometimes I don’t feel its good enough to show. I call it “crispy”. It has a great look from 10′. Up close you are going to see missing upholstery, deep chips in paint, spider webbing, and daily scratches and rubs. Believe me, I have no idea where they all come from, but between Pops age at the end, myself, and my Pop’s grandsons all drivers.... stuff is going to happen. Maybe someday down the road, we’ll paint the old girl again and fix the issues. 
Its been restored twice in the time we’ve had it. Its on its 3rd engine in the same amount of time. 
Wedding parties, love this car. It has a “class” look to it. Vintage. Not very common (1936 are orphan a little bit, and I don’t know why... marketing?)  And it cleans up nicely. 
Ellenore and her new Husband Jax, just adored our ride last nite. We even had a side trip to under the front doors of the State Capital, for some extra photos. I don’t know photography, but the lighting there was beautiful. All and any colors just popped.
Elle actually wanted to ride in the rumble seat, but didn’t .... “my vanity, wont allow my hair to get messed up in the back seat” .....   made me laugh.
We all hopped in the cab. Its a small cab, but it can be done, and has been done many times before.  
I had cleaned the cab before the wedding, and was very sure it was good to go. Unfortunately Elle’s dress caught some grease (I didn’t even think about it) off the top of the transmission (bottom of the stick). And somehow got some on her finger.  She took it all in stride, and grease on her dress apparently was on a hidden side, as I kept looking for it, although I saw in when she was in the car. 
The “36″ can be notorious for giving me fits at the wrong time, but performed flawlessly. The past few years not so much though. 
I noted to myself for future reference.... got to get brake lites fixed again (switch issue), clutch is due for adjustment, and so are the mechanical brakes. 
The “36″ was far from “wedding ready” when Mark called/texted. I had taken the starter button out of it AGAIN, last August. Since I had converted the “36″ to 12 volt (I had honestly not noticed this) it started eating the starter buttons on the floor. I finally figured it out last summer that the huge amps of 12 volt were basically blasting the starter buttons. 
With my back in such poor shape during this time... I never got back to reassembly. Because of that, it was filthy... just nasty (building is far from air tight. Laying on the floor of a 1936 Ford coupe is not pain free.
I put a call out to all of my Pop’s  grandsons.... and 2 responded immediately. Brennan said he’d get it back together, and Devin said he’d get her all cleaned up. 
As I had envisioned using a solenoid between battery and starter button worked perfectly. Brennen did a wonderful job of installing. Then I sat and watch Devin polish the old girl all up.... 
This was a couple weeks ago....    I do have a good crew to lean on. These guys got it done.... 
I’ve been thinking, (I know, I need to quit doing that), about organizing (like I have nothing else to do) a wedding car group. Other folks with same thoughts about being involved with weddings. Elle told me that none of the wedding shops had any sources for wedding cars, and even called a few automotive shops. 
I don’t understand why this is so....  
well if I get time... maybe I’ll pursue this....

Here's a Post of my moments playing Gran Turismo 7.
I was struggling a championship cup while driving my Ford Shelby GT, so I decided I used a ticket to earn some rewards. Normally I win some credits like money, and sometimes parts and sales on cars. But this time I just earned a vehicle in one of the raffles. Kinda like how my P-Pal @murumokirby360 when he usually uses lucky wheels in GTA. So the car I just won is a Toyota FT-1, which it's really amazing. I think I might use it if I were to compete in another race. Then I decided to compete in one of the Online Races. I chose the Sardegna Road Race C Reverse and drove in a Toyota Supra Tom's Castrol. Which it's the same vehicle I got when I first Pre-order Gran Turismo 7. So I raced it online and went against some cars. I came across a Peugeot, and a Volkswagen. But I don't know the other car. The only car I kept going head to head in, is a Peugeot and a Volkswagen. I managed to pass them and I got 9th out of 15th. Which it's pretty amazing that I managed to race one of the easiest tracks and got into 9th Place. That was pretty awesome after the time I got 10th in the Red Bull Ring Short track in a Go Kart Race back in Sport.
Shadow R 😺🗡️: That is really awesome! It was a great race and placing in 9th. Especially when racing in a Toyota Supra Tom's Castrol. One of the popular cars in racing history.
Tory 😺🩰: Indeed. I bet Spot and Riya will be very pleased to see how great we would do in that race. Same goes for the Toyota FT-1 During a Prize ticket.
Paul 😺⚒️⚔️: mmhmm. Soon or later, I think the Speedsters are going to feel like competing with us.
Shadow R 😺🗡️: I see what you mean, Dad. Especially if their cousin, Miya would want to compete as well.
Paul 😺⚒️⚔️: I see.
Tory 😺🩰: Yeah. And maybe the Rabbits might cheer for us when racing. Even if they want to race with us.
Shadow R 😺🗡️: Yeah. Let's get Lisa and we'll all race with the Speedsters at Sardegna Road Race.
Both: Okay ^^

Master Calendar of Trump Court Dates: Criminal and Civil Cases (justsecurity.org)
and most of this are appeals one side or the other. and trump insists we are opposed to him. we are. he wi a weak shit.
we do our son and daughters plan and it is like this
we build our versoins of kit cars super cars and have several models all are viable and fast efficent not hard to build mstly we kee the intieor and us new seats.
we make mre and more. they copy it in the perimeter. nearby too the upper midwest hey wil have sales but for them . A large amount of infighting will occur And at these places, a business and all. of them in previous sized. while it's occurring we will be sending piggyback sales of all of them. They decide to copy ours. and we will begin a massive infiltration.
### This is a new project. It is because the idea is similar, but it is. different. and it is ace in the hall. It's gonna work. They have to try and take one and you showed them doing it. We think one of them is fast and furious. Spy racers. They would take them because we're driving them around, and they want to infiltrate using them and make new ones. So they would have to have us make new ones. Copy them to try and come in. And they think that they would be doing all of this and tricking us But we would be initializing it. So far, we don't feel like copying their kit cars, and they don't sell any. So you can't really do it. We're going to have to do some form of it with Corvette. And we're hoping other cars will start up again. We have a lot of orders for. Chrysler, and we are encouraging people to order the super car We have on file only about 200. of those. But they're old, and we'd have to check. And he says that would be good if 10 of them are still interested. Do we make them? And it does work sometimes, and having a commercial with one of those 10 would be something we would do, or all 10. We're gonna go ahead with this and he says that the first ones would be down and dirty.. Like keeping the wheels and tires. Suspension and changing the real width. of the rear tires and keeping the rims.. And we would put it on our body for. shell complete. But it would be built with a wide body look and will be smooth and have no seams. People are interested in they wanna do it and. we'd most likely do replicas at first with the Ford Escort. There's a small Ferrari and it might work a lot better than the bradley gt and we see it we copy a kit car and well ok but a new one adn or replica of a largeer named formal manufacutuerer. nd good.w e ahve it. we do it now. the corvettte wont fit oon an escort. it will on a malibu. nt a bad idea. other chassis would work and they said it front drive and we ue it.
we part out cars hv chassis and will try to make some
then again he says...
If we remade the Bradley GT on the Ford Escort coupe, several forms would be. the same, I think different years. And you take the top off. And if they use metal, panels, which I don't think they do and we don't, we will. start with the Ford Bradley GT 1. and simply use Dave's technique and actually advertise And we actually need to get into that kind of media immediately. And there's other types of advertising. We'll be hiring people to go to car shows all kinds. of car shows, even muscle car shows people Helping people wanna buy it, and they'll wanna buy it right away. There's guys like me everywhere. Might not be our kind, but they make like 150 a year, and they be all over that thing. You could not. even blink fast enough. They can't afford a Corvette I can attest, but they can afford this And the wife would be on them nonstop. Don't bring that thing in here. You can't do that in there. We need it. And then. after it comes in, it's just sitting there. It's been there for a week. When are you gonna do something that works? So then I'll put it together It's taking a month Where is the hell The thing to do. Sell it. Ohh yeah, we can't go out there. All of that works to get it done. And once done, he will be chat. by his wife. to everybody and pub in town as he shows it off and beats everybody in races. with a Ford Malibu or escort.
Zues

What makes the Ford Mustang so special?
Introduction: In this article, we will explain: What makes the Ford Mustang so special? What is the specialty of the Ford Mustang? What are the engine options for the 2023 Ford Mustang? Why choose USA Auto Parts to buy a Ford Mustang?
The Ford Mustang, the quintessence of a muscle car, has been unveiled to the public for more than half a century. But what had made this iconic car Brand so special? Let’s delve into the legend.
A Timeless Design: There is no need for further introduction for the car in question, as the Ford Mustang looks like a Mustang for sure. It boasts a long hood, and short deck, as well as three-bar taillights, a feature that remains popular to this date.
Legendary Performance: In terms of horsepower, muscle cars are nothing less than powerful, and the Mustang is the best example. From the growling, eight-cylindered beasts under the hood to the nimble handling, it is a vehicle that is a road warrior.
A Legacy of Customization: The Ford Mustang is a car that can be customized to the last detail and is not restricted to a specific type of style or design. Some of the benefits of buying a car include the following: As mentioned before, there are tens of thousands of aftermarket pieces available for the Mustang.
What is the specialty of the Ford Mustang?
The Ford Mustang’s specialty can be seen as a two-fold punch: it comes with fabulous American muscle car features for a comparatively lower price.
Muscle Car Performance: Mustangs are often fitted with massive engines, regularly V8s, which engender very good torque, speed, and a bellowing sound. This notion of power and productivity is what makes the muscle car concept, and here is the whole of the Mustang.
Affordability: While other high-end European sports cars on the market can offer the same performance as the Mustang, there are distinctions between the two, which include; This makes the Mustang a worthy competitor for drivers who desire an entertaining and powerful car without spending a great deal of money.

What are the engine options of the 2023 Ford Mustang?
As of now, the 2024 Mustang is not a widely produced car, so it can be assumed that the available engines in 2024 have not been altered from the ones we saw in 2023. undefined
2.3L EcoBoost I4: This half-liter turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain arrangement may still be available in baseline configurations of the new model while offering satisfying power outputs and fuel economy.
5.0L Ti-VCT V8: This powerful V8 replacement engine near me should stay with the Mustang GT trim, as it should set the muscle car standard and image of the vehicle.
Why choose USA Auto Parts to buy a Ford Mustang?
Nationwide Network: If you are located within the USA, USA Auto Parts can deliver the auto parts to your location, whether you are on the east coast, west coast, or even in the middle part of the country. This also saves time and energy that one would use to visit local junkyards or dealers to search for the ideal used part.
Competitive Prices: I realized that maintaining your Mustang car should not be too much of a drain. Thus, we sell our used parts at moderate prices and accessible warranty rates compared to market prices, making vehicle repairs more reasonable.
Quality Assurance: At the provider, we have stringent quality control measures to ensure that all used engines and transmissions advertised for sale are healthy. This way, you can be assured that the parts are of excellent quality, ensuring that your Mustang is back in the shortest time possible.
Warranty Options: We may offer a warranty for used parts, and customers should contact us for more information (check the website). This offers the assurance, or a sense of security, that the product that you purchased is safeguarded.
Expert Staff: Due to its long-standing history, our team is well-informed about Mustang models of different years and modifications. You can ask them, and depending on your needs, they will lead you to the right rebuilt engine or transmission for your Mustang.

Ford Mustang: The Last V8 Muscle Car?
If we go back in time to the late 1960s to early 1970s, could we imagine the traditional V8 engine still being around in 2024? Maybe, maybe not, but the reality is that are really the only mainstream car manufacturers who are in the running with the Mustang. In reality, most car enthusiasts still love the loud soundtrack of an American V8, but with ever-increasing fuel costs, and the unstoppable wave of Ev’s, is the Ford Mustang just holding onto an antiquated format or still representing what the public really want?
The V8 Legacy The Ford Mustang is up for its 60th anniversary, having seen many ups and downs throughout its history. The Chevrolet Camaro stop production in December, and even the Dodge Challenger and Charger are going electric. However, the Ford Mustang is proven its sales potential across America and throughout Europe. The unmistakable growl of a V8 engine is more than mere noise, it’s simply a template that works. The Ford Mustang’s V8 powerplant delivers not just horsepower but an emotional connection between driver and machine. The 500Hp Coyote V8 engine in the Mustang Dark Horse edition is the top of the heap, with the Mustang GT being capable of 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds.
The Last of Its Kind In an era where downsizing and turbocharging are the norm, the Mustang’s V8 engine remains defiance. It’s a throwback to an era when cubic inches mattered, and the pursuit of speed was unapologetically loud. These attributes may be resigned to be Sunday drivers, as the world slowly turns to quiet EVs, but an EV can’t put a smile on your face like a loud V8 engine can. You really need to drive one to experience the difference.
Performance and Heritage The Ford Mustang GT, equipped with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, churns out a robust 450 horsepower. It’s not just about straight-line speed; it’s about the way that power is delivered. The V8’s torque surge pushes you back into the seat, urging you to explore the redline. One aspect of the V8 format that is not often talked about is rear-wheel drive. In a world where most cars are front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive gives a completely different sensation. In a rearwheel drive vehicle you are pushed rather than pulled. This provides a more seat-of-your-pants driving experience, which adds to the thrill.
Drag Strips and Quarter-Miles The Mustang’s dragstrip prowess is legendary. From the iconic Cobra Jet to the modern GT500, Ford’s V8-powered beasts have decades of dragstrip experience. while the original Ford Mustang template optimised the straight-line speed, the template has now matured into a vehicle in which you can drive to the dragstrip, run your best time, and then drive home confidently. With the latest driver assist technology and suspension setup, the modern Ford Mustang can handle winding racetracks just like the others.
A Cultural Icon The Mustang is also a cultural touchstone. From Steve McQueen’s Bullitt to the silver screen stardom of Eleanor in “Gone in 60 Seconds,” the Mustang V8 has graced cinema screens and garage posters alike. It’s the embodiment of rebellion, freedom, and the open road.
The Future and Beyond As electric vehicles silently infiltrate the market, the Mustang Mach-E, an all-electric SUV—joins the stable. many fans weren’t happy with an Ev taking its name from the V8 version, but you can see Ford’s point of view. In some ways it’s Ford hedging their bets between the internal combustion engine and the full-blown EV to see how the public responds. In some ways, one can be seen as the daily driver with the other being enjoying full performance car was meant for. So, why can’t we have both?
The Battle for Relevance While the Ford Mustang may be one of the few V8 platforms left, it’s not the end of days. The public still wants the V8 platform, new or old, with plenty of classic-era V8s always available on the used market. The Ford Mustang may be carrying on what can be seen as an antiquated format, but it simply works, and works well, which is why they are not going away anytime soon…
