Carroll Shelby, the mastermind behind the iconic Shelby muscle cars, transformed the automotive world with his genius. From the sleek AC Cobra to the roaring Shelby Mustangs, he left tire tracks that are still followed today. Despite health challenges, Shelby’s passion never idled. His creations with Ford and Dodge, like the Viper and GT500, proved that horsepower and humor go hand in hand. Shelby’s legacy lives on, revving engines and hearts alike.
Rev up your nostalgia engines, because not all Muscle Cars were your typical 2-door speed demons. Feast your eyes on the 1969 Ford Ranchero GT, a beast that proves trucks can flex their muscles too! Under the hood? A growling 428 Cobra Jet V8 with Ram Air, boasting 335 HP and a jaw-dropping 440 ft. lbs. of torque. With its Brittany Blue exterior and chrome wheels, this Ranchero isn’t just hauling cargo; it’s hauling serious attitude down the street, leaving jaws—and possibly groceries—dropped in its wake!
Ford just pulled a rabbit out of the hat by announcing a hybrid version of the iconic Mustang, set to hit the road in 2020. Yes, you heard it right—MUSTANG. HYBRID.
