Found For Sale: Cool 1965 Ford Mustang Shooting Brake

No comments


Like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, the Ford Mustang Station Wagon is an elusive beast often spoken of but rarely seen.

The story goes that J. Walter Thompson advertising executive Barney Clark and designer Bob Cumberford commission the Italian coachbuilding firm Intermeccanica to build a one-off shooting brake in 1965. Heck, it even appeared on the cover of the October 1966 issue of Car and Driver.

This is not that car, but a very nice replica by a man named Joe Kamp. Based on a 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop, Mr. Kamp cut, lengthened and widened the roof to make the distinctive shooting brake rear end.

Car Game Review: "Driver: San Francisco"

No comments


Picture this: you’re chasing down an escaped con in a stolen police van when one of his buddies rams your police cruiser off the road. No matter, as you can jump out of your body and into that of suburban soccer mom, using her minivan to disable the escapee and complete the mission.

This is the main gimmick of Driver: San Francisco, the latest in a long-line of cops ‘n’ robbers driving games from developer Ubisoft. And it works, thanks to intuitive game play mechanics and missions that encourage thinking outside the box.

Ford Says New 2014 Mustang will be Less Retro, More Modern

No comments


In 2014, Ford will celebrate the Mustang’s 50th anniversary and it will do so by launching a brand new model. The revelation comes from the company’s design chief, J Mays, who spoke to journalist during the 64th International Auto Show in Frankfurt.

According to Mays, the design of the next-generation Mustang has already “locked down” three years ahead of its launch. The real surprise, though, is that Mays states that the new version of Ford’s iconic pony car will look more into the future than in to its past.

Ford to Launch New Mustang Customizer Website

No comments


With the possible exception of audio and more recently, infotainment systems, the Mustang has never really been on the forefront of technological breakthroughs.

It only just received 6-speed transmissions while up until early 2010, the base model was fitted with a 4.0-liter lump delivering an embarrassing 210HP. And let's not forget that it still features a solid rear axle, a throwback in today's era of independent setups.

But when it comes to marketing gimmicks, Ford always manages to stay in front of the crowd. Now, the Detroit automaker is getting ready to launch a nifty customizer website for the 2012 Mustang.

German Tuner Breathes New Colors to Ford Mustang 5.0 GT

No comments



While the Mustang has many fans in Europe, Ford's pony car never really caught up with buyers across the Atlantic for a great number of reasons, one being that it is available only with large displacement engines that negatively affect pricing as well as other costs associated with ownership.

Nevertheless, Europe's tuning industry does offer owners some options for customization. This here package is for the latest Mustang 5.0 GT and it comes from a German company called Design World.

No comments



Chevrolet’s Camaro was the best-selling sports car in the US in 2010 stealing the crown from the Ford Mustang despite the fact that, unlike its longtime nemesis, General Motors' pony car was available only as a coupe.

The launch of the convertible version in early 2011 extended its lead: in the first eight months of the year, the Camaro looks set to outperform the Mustang by more than 10,000 units according to General Motors' data.

Ford Mustang Exotica Hides an Aston Martin Vanquish V12 Under its Hood [with Video]

No comments


We’re pretty sure that, during the time Aston Martin was under the ownership of Ford, the thought of stuffing an exotic V12 powerplant under the bonnet of a Mustang must have crossed the mind of a few company engineers.

And while we never saw something of the sort officially from Ford, an independent custom shop actually realized the idea with the 2005 Ford Mustang 'Vanquishd' show car that was presented at the 2006 SEMA aftermarket gathering.

Built by Western Motorsports, this one-of-a-kind Mustang gets a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 600 ponies from a 2001 Aston Martin Vanquish. Power is sent to the chunky rear wheels through a 6 speed manual Tremec T-56 transmission.
