A Mustang crossing into a barricaded construction zone, a driver who may have hit both pedals at once, and a comment section that has spent years trying to figure out exactly what happened — this brief dashcam clip punches well above its modest view count. One recurring theory blames pedal confusion; another blames the tires entirely. Watch the few seconds of footage and decide for yourself which explanation holds up.
Ford Performance and Roush Performance don’t put their names on aftermarket power numbers lightly, which is what makes this dealer-installed supercharger kit for the 2018 Mustang GT and F-150 worth paying attention to. The kit pushes the Mustang to 700 horsepower and the F-150 to 640, all while keeping the factory warranty fully intact. See exactly what Ford is backing and why it still matters for Coyote-powered owners.
Ford expected to sell 100,000 Mustangs in the first year and passed that figure in about three months. Roughly 318,000 people bought one in the first model year, and a million had been sold inside eighteen months. The rush left its marks: cars leaving the line without headlight wiring harnesses, horn rings stamped Ford Falcon hiding under Mustang trim. Read on for why those mistakes are worth money now.
This 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra convertible has covered under 4,400 miles since new, spending most of its life with a single Ford collector before landing at Vanguard Motor Sales. Under the hood is the supercharged 4.6-liter Terminator V8 that made this generation of Cobra famous, paired with a six-speed manual and a limited-slip rear end. The paint, top, and interior all read like a car barely broken in. Cars this clean rarely stay on a lot for long.
You’ve found it — a stunning 1967 Shelby GT500, paint gleaming, engine bay detailed to concours standard, everything you dreamed about since you were staring at a Bullitt poster as a kid. But how much of what you’re looking at is genuinely original, and how much of what’s holding that car together was actually done right? A German restoration shop called V8-Werk has built a reputation making cars from this era better than the original — and watching how they work reveals just how much invisible engineering separates a properly sorted GT500 from one that only looks the part. Reproduction parts, real-world recalls, and decades-old brake and fuel systems can all hide behind a fresh coat of paint. Before you sign anything on a 1967 Shelby GT500, here’s what a genuine restoration reveals — and what NHTSA’s own recall and complaint files say buyers should double-check.
The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse keeps the naturally aspirated V8 flagship formula alive with a specially tuned 5.0-liter Coyote engine and an active exhaust system offering four distinct sound modes. This video from The Fast Lane Car walks through quiet, normal, sport, and track settings, letting the exhaust note speak for itself. The escalation had commenters cracking jokes about the neighbors. Watch to hear exactly how loud track mode really gets.
You find the ad at 11 p.m., and it looks like the one you’ve been chasing for years: a 1970 Boss 302 in Grabber Blue, numbers-matching, fresh paint gleaming under the seller’s shop lights. What you don’t see in the photos is the 55 years of history hiding under that paint — the fender that was cut and welded back on after a collision, the wiring harness some previous owner spliced into with electrical tape and hope, the seat belt hardware that Ford itself twice recalled. The engine bay might be immaculate and the car could still bite you somewhere you never thought to look. That’s the real lesson buried in one of the most-watched Boss 302 build videos on YouTube right now, and it’s worth understanding before you wire a deposit to anyone.
Ford squeezed 662 horsepower from a supercharged V8 into the last Mustang built with a solid rear axle, a combination that made the 2013 Shelby GT500 both wildly fast and genuinely difficult to drive. A decade later, owners are still talking about the sound, the manual gearbox, and just how much respect this car demands. Here’s why the 2013-2014 GT500 remains one of the most talked-about modern Shelbys.
At the 2015 SEMA show the Ringbrothers unveiled a 1965 Mustang fastback whose only original panels were the floors. Everything else was carbon fiber built in-house, widened four inches, and finished in a color-shifting Spy Green that earned the car its name: Espionage. Under the hood sat a supercharged 427-cubic-inch LS7 making a reported 959 horsepower, a General Motors engine in a Ford body, which was rather the point. Read on to find out why the bodywork mattered more than the horsepower figure.
Long before The Dukes of Hazzard turned a 1969 Charger into the General Lee, Dodge had already built one of the best-designed muscle cars of the era, with an engine lineup broad enough to include a version most buyers never even knew existed. From a color-coded engine bay to a sunroof option only 260 buyers ever ordered, the second-generation Charger’s story is full of details even devoted fans overlook. Read on to find out what made it so special.
This blue Cougar XR-7 might just look like another 1970 pony car at first glance, but its wood-rimmed wheel and simulated walnut dash tell a different story. Mercury built it to feel like a personal luxury coupe, not a stripped-down performance car, and buyers agreed in far smaller numbers than you’d expect. Before casting a vote, here’s what actually separates this car from its Mustang cousin.
You’ve found it – a real 1967 Shelby GT500, the car every muscle car buyer dreams about owning. But before you wire a deposit, know this: NHTSA’s records on this exact model include three separate steering-system recalls, a brake-drum installation warning, and a fuel-system complaint that could leave you stranded at a red light. A barn-find restoration currently being torn down on camera shows exactly what four decades of neglect does to a car this complex – and it isn’t pretty under the sheet metal once the panels come off. The seller’s photos will show you the paint and the chrome. They won’t show you what’s underneath, and on a car this old, what’s underneath is everything. This guide walks through what NHTSA has actually documented on the 1967 Mustang platform, what a real teardown reveals, and exactly what to check before you sign anything.
