Pick of the Day: 1993 Ford Mustang
As early as the 1970swhen the Ford Bronco transformed from a Jeep competitor into an SUV, the Bronco was just a Ford truck that was both practical and fun.

There was a time when the roar of eight-cylinder engines could be heard across Australia. In particular, a pair of quintessential Australian V8s dominate our roads: the Ford Falcon and the Holden Commodore. But those days are gone, and both of the above models no longer exist. Instead, the Australian car market is now dominated by SUVs and pickup trucks, which feature low-displacement turbocharged powertrains with six cylinders or less.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1985 Ford Mustang GT
sometimes when it comes When it comes to performance cars, less is more. Today, we've become obsessed with driver-assist features, CarPlay integration, and creature comforts that can take away from the raw feeling of driving. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I stick with classic cars rather than demanding the latest automotive technology. I love driving for the sake of driving, not just to get from point A to point B.

Mustang driver almost saved the car as he left it to race – almost
At first, the Mustang seemed to avoid hitting anything — but eventually it did... go through Brad Anderson 13 hours ago A Bronco driver collided with a sign during a car race due to a faulty electric rail. Fortunately, the car did not hit any onlookers. As with many pony crashes, the driver seemed a little too eager to hit the gas. If you're in the market for a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports car, look no further than the Ford Mustang. While it's good that the famous pony cars are relatively cheap, the downside is that they tend to fall into the hands of enthusiasts who don't know what to do with all that power. Case in point: the driver of this black Mustang in the United States. It has become so common these days for Ford Mustang drivers to crash while leaving a stock car event that not having a Mustang crash at a car race is more surprising than…

Porsche 911 GT3 and Mustang pitted against each other, but that’s not the case
Mustang drivers get a bad rap, but they're not the only ones who can't control their powerful sports cars go through Brad Anderson October 31, 2024 21:11 The incident occurred during an event at a racetrack in Costa Rica. The driver of the 911 GT3 failed to start, causing the wheels to spin. Fortunately, the Mustang, which was driving alongside the Porsche, was not killed in the accident.

Pick of the Day: 1970 Ford Mustang “T5”
Ford Mustang It was Detroit's postwar success story, but Ford ran into problems selling the model in Germany. It seems that a company that makes trucks owns the rights to the name.

(Click this link to view the list.) The problem with the Mustang fell to Krupp Steel (now ThyssenKrupp).

Pick of the Day: 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback

(Click the link to see the list) If you consider that the 1965 Mustang was the most important year for pony cars, especially the mid-1964 models, they excited Americans more than any other car (despite being introduced very early, both based on the VIN) is from 1965). But the 1967 Mustang—the first redesign—is key to the Mustang's past and future.

Pick of the Day: 1970 Ford Mustang
this Daily Picks It's a 1970 Ford Mustang listed on ClassicCars.com by a California dealer. Classic SUVs have become increasingly popular over the past few years. On the one hand, this means that many of them have been rescued from the barn and restored to (sometimes more than) their former glory. On the other hand, a lot of them come with lifts and aftermarket wheels and tires, so it's hard to see an original Bronco among all the modifications. As our Pick of the Day, this 1970 Ford Mustang seems to fall somewhere in between those two extremes. As part of a detailed restoration, the first-generation Bronco's frame was powder-coated. The bodywork was media blasted and then covered in new Wimbledon White and Vesta Orange paint, followed by a five-year ceramic protective coating about a year ago. This high-contrast combination makes it instantly recognizable as a classic Mustang. Apparently, this 1970s model has also been modified. However, these upgrades work…

2025 Mustang GTD is the fastest, most powerful factory model ever
When Ford announced Coming in August 2023, the Mustang GTD is a limited-production model inspired by the Mustang GT3 that Ford claims will deliver an "estimated 800 horsepower" and will be the "fastest road-going Mustang ever." Now that the wait for official figures is over, it looks like Ford has wisely chosen to underpromise and overdeliver. To achieve the GTD's output goals, the powertrain experts at Ford Performance tweaked the intake and exhaust systems, installed a lightweight titanium exhaust, and used a smaller supercharger pulley. These changes bring horsepower and torque to 815 hp and 664 lb-ft, respectively, an increase of 55 and 39, respectively, over the previous-generation Mustang Shelby GT500.

2025 Mustang GTD is the fastest, most powerful factory model ever
When Ford announced Coming in August 2023, the Mustang GTD is a limited-production model inspired by the Mustang GT3 that Ford claims will deliver an "estimated 800 horsepower" and will be the "fastest road-going Mustang ever." Now that the wait for official figures is over, it looks like Ford has wisely chosen to underpromise and overdeliver. To achieve the GTD's output goals, the powertrain experts at Ford Performance tweaked the intake and exhaust systems, installed a lightweight titanium exhaust, and used a smaller supercharger pulley. These changes bring horsepower and torque to 815 hp and 664 lb-ft, respectively, an increase of 55 and 39, respectively, over the previous-generation Mustang Shelby GT500.

Ford Mustang recalled due to broken rear suspension
Ford is recalling more than 5,200 Mustangs that could lose steering control. September 16, 2024 — Ford is recalling more than 5,200 Mustangs because the rear suspension knuckle could fail, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The recalled 2024 Ford Mustang rear suspension steering knuckles may have a casting defect that could weaken the components and cause the driver to lose vehicle handling and steering control. According to Ford: “When a parts supplier produces a steering knuckle, the debris filter may be improperly positioned during the casting process, causing slag to enter the part cavity and cause casting defects.” Ford learned of the issue through warranty reports of broken rear suspension knuckles in 2024 Mustangs, but has not received any reports of accidents or injuries. The driver may notice the rear tires leaning outward or inward when braking or applying more throttle. About 620 Ford Mustangs are being recalled in Canada. Ford dealers will inspect and possibly…
Daily Pick: 1966 Ford Mustang
The Original Mustang Pony Car When it was introduced 60 years ago, the car was an undisputed success: within two years of its launch, Ford's three assembly plants produced nearly 1.3 million vehicles. A 1966 Ford Magazine ad read, “What do you do after you’ve built a million Mustangs? Start with the two million!” By 1966, Ford had diversified the Mustang model to include hardtop, convertible, and fastback models, with both inline-six and V8 powertrains. No wonder the car was so popular and a sales success. Today's pick is a 1966 Ford Mustang, for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Las Cruces, New Mexico. (Click on the link to view the listing) "The car has been well-maintained throughout and has undergone additional restoration in recent years," the listing reads. "The next owner won't have to think about spending a lot to keep this car in near-perfect condition as many parts have been updated." The Mustang Sport caught on…
1971 429 CJ Mustang Convertible is a double-digit rarity
Ford Mustang Ford led the small car market and remained at the top until 1973, when it fell victim to market forces. During that time, while competing with the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Plymouth Barracuda, and Dodge Challenger, Ford never produced a high-performance convertible. Look at the Camaro: You could have a Super Sport convertible with a 396/375 hp engine. Pontiac offered the Firebird 400, which was a convertible with a Ram Air IV engine that made up to 345 hp. The 'Cuda and Challenger R/T convertibles were available with engines starting at the 383 and topping out with the 426 Hemi. All of these were high-performance models that were available as convertibles. But the Mustang (and its sister model, the Cougar) don't like this marketing. Since the first big-bore Mustang was introduced in 1967, there has been no high-performance convertible model. You say GT? It was offered in a lowly 289 standard, because the GT package was mainly aimed…

Ford sued after Mustang Dark Horse demo car hits child
Continental, Ford and the test driver are all involved in a lawsuit related to a crash at a Michigan test track that sent two children to the hospital after a day-long test drive went wrong go through Chris Chilton September 11, 2024 20:31 Two families are suing after their children were hit and injured by the Mustang during a demonstration.

BlueCruise Mustang Mach-E driver faces DUI murder charge
A Ford Mustang Mach-E driver suspected of drunk driving is facing homicide charges. Police said she was riding in BlueCruise when she crashed into a stationary vehicle in March. This is at least the second time this year a BlueCruise vehicle has struck a stationary vehicle. The value of self-driving cars is unquestionable. However, the world we live in today is not full of self-driving cars. Instead, we have a variety of semi-autonomous driving technologies. A woman relied too much on Ford's BlueCruise and caused a car accident on a Philadelphia highway that killed two people, according to police. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The accident occurred around 3 a.m. in March this year on Interstate 95.

Jay Leno takes a lap in a 1964 IndyCar Mustang
Is there a car? What car did you see on TV as a kid and dream of driving one day? Maybe a C3 Corvette or a Ferrari F355. It's entirely possible, but you probably won't drive one of these cars. Precise The cars you see on screen. It's no secret that Jay Leno does things a little differently than your average car enthusiast. As a kid, he watched a Ford Mustang race through the 1964 Indianapolis 500 on black-and-white TV, and now, decades later, he gets the chance to drive it in the latest Jay Leno's Garage video. The problem was, the car didn't belong to Leno. It belonged to Bill Ford, executive chairman of the company that bears his family's name. Although Ford Motor Company built a lot of Mustangs in the 1960s, it prepared only three for the big race. One, according to Ford, wasn't ready in time. The other went to winning driver A.J. Foyt, but it…

Mustang owner doesn’t know how it ended up in the water
This muscle car has a disabled parking license plate and a big dent on its roof go through Brad Anderson 1 hour ago A Mustang was pulled from San Diego Bay with several opened cans of alcohol inside. Tire tracks leading to the water indicated the Ford had taken a wild ride before hitting the water. After all that adventure, the saltwater of Mission Bay would probably cause this little wagon to rust and become useless quickly. Just days earlier, authorities in Palm Beach County, Florida, pulled a Ford Mustang from a canal with no driver aboard, and a week later, an eerily similar scene unfolded in San Diego — suggesting that the Mustang may have evolved from targeting crowds at car parties to developing a new affinity for bodies of water. Authorities were alerted early in the morning to a muscle car parked in the artificial bay. Local lifeguards arrived on the scene and made sure no one was…

1-of-300 Cobra R is a pure Ford Mustang
The limited-production Cobra R somehow ended up being available in the UK go through Brad Anderson 16 hours ago This fourth-generation Mustang limited edition is equipped with a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. Even though the car is old, it only shows 10,000 miles on the odometer. The Ford Mustang has been in production for 60 years, and during that time, dozens of crazy limited editions have been released. One of our favorites is the Mustang SVT Cobra R, and one of these beautiful examples is currently up for auction in the UK. Like all other SVT Cobra R models for the 2000 model year, this one is finished in Performance Red and features a number of eye-catching aerodynamic parts that set it apart from other Mustangs of the period. The most notable of these new parts is the fixed rear wing, which looks like it was lifted straight from the set of an early Fast & Furious movie. READ:…
1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1
FeaturedAutomatic Hunter This one is a restored 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. It's powered by a ram-air-equipped 429 Cobra Jet, as indicated by the J in the VIN, but this pony car raised the bar with the addition of the Drag Pack, which turned the Cobra Jet into a Super Cobra Jet. Other features include a four-speed manual transmission, Magnum 500 wheels, front and rear spoilers, silver highlights, and more. This Mustang is painted in Bright Blue with a Medium Blue knit vinyl interior and comes with an Elite Marti report (including the window sticker) and a clear title. When this car was restored in 2008, it was finished in a Brilliant Blue Metallic hue. Silver highlights were applied to the lower body, with optional side stripes in the same color. When the 429 Cobra Jet was ordered with ram air, the hood was also painted this matching color. Other features included silver front and rear spoilers, dual racing mirrors,…

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is looking for a Mustang driver who parked his car in a canal A Ford Mustang was found upside down in a Florida canal with its doors wide open. While the condition of the vehicle indicated a violent collision, the driver appeared to have escaped. Locals said the area is well known for its doughnut lovers, suggesting driver error may have been the cause of the incident. Another day, another car pulled out of a Florida canal.

The Mustang's door was reportedly open, so it appears the driver managed to escape and flee the scene. MORE: Splish Splash Another Porsche 911 just got soaked in a…
Is the Ford Mustang GTD as fast as the Ferrari 296 GTB?
The Mustang GTD is powered by a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine with more than 800 horsepower, and Ford promises it will lap the Nürburgring in under 7 minutes go through Brad Anderson August 26, 2024 14:19 Ford claims the Mustang GTD can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, but a specific time has yet to be announced. The Ferrari 296 GTB, driven by Sport Auto's Christian Gebhardt, achieved a lap time of 6:58.70. Unlike most other track-focused sports cars, the Mustang sounds like a traditional muscle car. Ford boldly claims that the track-focused Mustang will be able to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes, and with development work on the model complete, the company recently took two prototypes to the track for warm-up testing. Of the prototypes shown in this video, the blue one is the most eye-catching. It looks like a production car, or close to it, and looks incredibly fast through some of the Green…
Another Mustang hits Cars and Coffee, this time hitting
Once again, Mustang owners lose sight of driving skills and open spaces before the horsepower runs out. A Mustang driver crashed during a "Cars & Coffee" event after a failed burnout. The driver lost control and struck a Chevrolet Corvette parked nearby. Fortunately, everyone involved in the incident was safe and sound. This story dates back to 1964. Ford Mustangs always seem to find a way to crash, and it happened again in Lockport, Illinois. This time, the driver was leaving a Cars and Coffee event, and he tried to burn out on his exit, but his technique was lacking, and he ended up crashing into a Corvette. KRW Performance and Customs hosts a monthly Cars and Coffee event, the last of which was on August 11. While leaving the parking lot, one Mustang driver decided it was time to shine. The video shows him pulling over to the road, causing a traffic jam as privileged drivers sometimes do, and…
