Ford Mustang 1965 – Ringbrothers Full Carbon Fiber Body Mustang!

by Kiril

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.

Dodge Charger & Charger R/T 1968-1970

by Ross Mills

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.

Hot or Not?

by Kiril

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.

5 Things to Inspect Before Buying a 1967 Shelby GT500

by Jack Harmon

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.

Ford Mustang 1970 BOSS 429

by Kiril

Ford needed to beat Chrysler’s Hemi on NASCAR’s superspeedways, but the rulebook only required 500 street versions of the race engine, not that they share a body with the car actually racing. That loophole put a 429 big-block into a Mustang engine bay never designed to hold it, built through an unusual two-plant process most owners never expect. Read on to see how a homologation technicality created one of Ford’s rarest, most valuable Mustangs.

Mustang Doing Crazy Spins In High-speed Chase Is Unbelievable!

by Wes

A Mustang fleeing police spins out completely, not once but three separate times, and somehow keeps driving every single time. A stop sign gets caught in the axle mid-chase, a local newsroom loses its composure on air, and viewers are already comparing the footage to Baby Driver and Grand Theft Auto. How does a chase this chaotic actually end?

How to Restore a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang: Key Issues and Where to Start

by Jack Harmon

A Grabber Blue 1970 Boss 302 Mustang, sold in 1975 to pay for college and tracked by its original owner for thirty-six years before he bought it back — that’s the story behind this Legendary Motorcar restoration. Under the hood is one of Ford’s most serious race-bred engines, complete with canted-valve Cleveland-style heads, a 780-cfm Holley, and a high-riser aluminum manifold built to beat Camaros on a road course. Watch to see how close the shop gets it back to 1975.

Charger: IT USED TO FLY AND NOW IT HAS 4 DOORS

by Wes

The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 as a two-door-only muscle car with V8 power and a distinctive rotating-headlight grille, a formula it kept until the nameplate went dormant in the late 1970s. When Dodge revived it in 2006, the Charger came back as a four-door sedan, a shift that still splits opinion among Mopar loyalists decades later.

Chevrolet Chevy II Origins to 1965 – the First Generation

by Ross Mills

This 1965 Chevy Nova SS wears a body Chevrolet never paired with a 406 cubic-inch V8, a Ford 9-inch rear end, or rack-and-pinion steering — all changes bolted on by a builder chasing quarter-mile performance over factory correctness. Sub-frame connectors, a trunk-mounted battery, and Mickey Thompson drag radials all point toward a car built to launch hard, not just look sharp at a cruise-in. RamblinAround walked through the full build with photos and receipts in hand at Fast Lane Classic Cars. Watch to see how far off the factory blueprint a serious Nova build can go.

Douchebag Mustang Owner of the Week

A routine Coffee and Cars meet turns chaotic in seconds when a Mustang driver revs aggressively toward a crowd of spectators, captured live by High Tech Corvette’s Facebook feed. Two small children were knocked aside in the scramble to get clear, though no one was seriously hurt — a near-miss that reignited debate about the unwritten safety rules car meets depend on. Watch the unedited footage that has viewers siding firmly with the crowd.

You Don’t Want to See This Saleen Mustang Cop Car in Your Rearview Mirror

by Kiril

A 2016 Ford Mustang GT transformed by Saleen Automotive into a 730-horsepower rolling memorial for California’s Riverside Police Department, this supercharged cop car swaps stock street presence for supercar-grade power and Saleen’s motorsport pedigree. Built as tribute rather than typical patrol equipment, it echoes Saleen’s history of extreme builds, from tuned Mustangs to the S7 supercar. Few squad cars anywhere approach this kind of performance, making it one of the rarest and most talked-about police vehicles in the country.

Every Muscle Car V8 Fires in the Same Pattern – So Why Does None of Them Sound Alike?

by Jack Harmon

Vanguard Motor Sales built this reel from their own 2020 inventory, stacking exhaust clips from Mopars, Mustangs, and small block Chevys that all fire in roughly the same pattern yet sound nothing alike. Viewers keep circling back to one Chevelle at 2:54 and an idle at 0:41 that several call the best they have ever heard. The difference comes down to headers, mufflers, and cam timing, not the engines themselves. Watch to hear which clip stops you mid-scroll.

Dangerously Fast Mustang Destroys Porsche 911 In A $5K Race

by Wes

AV Boys’ small-block Mustang gave a built, turbocharged Porsche 911 a full car-length head start in a five-thousand-dollar grudge race — and still caught it with the front wheels off the ground. The clip has circulated for years as proof that a well-built pushrod small-block Ford can embarrass six-figure German engineering. See exactly how close it actually was.

Which Ford is Best Ford?

by Wes

Regular Car Reviews poses a deliberately unanswerable question at the Carlisle Ford Nationals, wandering a field that spans everything from Model A-era classics to a modern carbon-fiber GT. Host MrRegularCar’s deadpan commentary turns a simple car show walkthrough into a running bit about what ‘best’ even means across nearly a century of the same badge. Watch to see which Ford nearly breaks the host’s trademark cynicism.
