Ford built over 72,000 Mustang convertibles in 1966, but not all of them came with the same heart under the hood – the 289 could be ordered as a mild 200-horsepower cruiser or a genuine 271-horsepower K-code that could actually run with the era’s quicker pony cars. A clean, low-mileage survivor like this one is a reminder of just how much performance range Ford packed into a single model year.

This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA convertible isn’t just another K-code — Marti Report data confirms it’s one of the last 289 High-Performance convertibles built at Ford’s San Jose plant, and one of only 16 built with an automatic transmission. Finished in a rare Lime Gold over a white top, it packs 271 horsepower, factory disc brakes, and the same high-rpm hardware Ford gave cars built to be raced. V8TV walks through why this Brothers Collection Mustang matters to K-code collectors. Watch to see what made it one of just 50.
A Mustang barely survived the EF5 tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma in 2013, left with no roof, no doors, and barely a drivetrain to its name. Rather than scrapping it, the owner turned the wreckage into a stripped-down street machine and drove it through his devastated town, putting smiles on faces that badly needed one. It happens to be a base V6, a detail that had Ford fans laughing in the comments. Whats left of this car says more about resilience than any spec sheet ever could.
A 740-horsepower supercharged LS3 Corvette lines up against a 770-horsepower supercharged Coyote Mustang, and the extra 30 horsepower isnt the whole story. RedmaroProductions captures a tight, hard-fought pass where shift timing and driver execution end up mattering as much as the numbers on paper. Comments erupted over which side needed the driver mod more, keeping the decades-old GM-versus-Ford rivalry alive at the strip. Who actually crossed the stripe first?
This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback rolls out with its rare factory red pony interior intact, a concours-style restoration, and a long list of original options most surviving 1965 cars lost decades ago. The team at MyRod walks through exactly what makes this fastback a reference-quality example rather than just another restored classic. Watch the full test drive to see what is actually loaded onto this car.
KFLY67’s tour of a sprawling Oregon junkyard has racked up nearly half a million views, and the comments do more identifying than the video’s own description ever attempts — a red Chevelle worth real money, a misidentified California Special Mustang, and a four-speed ’66 Chevelle buried among roughly 600 other cars. Watch to see what regional enthusiasts have already spotted for themselves.
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.
Men’s love for American muscle cars is a tale as old as horsepower itself. These beasts are more than just vehicles; they’re an extension of a man’s personality, a steel embodiment of machismo. Muscle cars roar with power, offering an exhilarating speed that whispers of limitless horizons. They entice with the promise of tinkering and customization, letting men get their hands greasy. Plus, they catch the eye—who can resist a Camaro’s allure? In the end, it’s all about bragging rights and the thrill of the ride.
A vintage 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T commercial has quietly become a cult favorite for reasons that have little to do with horsepower: a blustering, law-enforcement bit built around a Southern sheriff that viewers now recognize as an eerie preview of Buford T. Justice, seven years before Smokey and the Bandit made the archetype famous. Behind the joke sits a genuinely serious muscle car, available with everything from a 383 Magnum up to the 426 Hemi. Watch the full spot to see where the joke started.
This 1968 Ford Mustang lands right in the middle of one of the wildest mid-year stories in muscle car history — the year Ford quietly dropped the 428 Cobra Jet into regular production and turned an already-popular pony car into a genuine drag strip contender. Only 1,299 Cobra Jet Mustangs were built that year. Here is what made 1968 such a pivotal model year for the Mustang.
Two guys running a small restoration shop in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho spent years hunting down original parts for a Mustang most people would have finished with reproductions. The payoff: a numbers-matching 1970 Mach 1 in Grabber Orange with a 428 Cobra Jet under its shaker hood, sold for ninety-nine thousand dollars at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Owner Jack Scanlon has had the car since 2010. What convinced two restorers a thousand miles from the usual parts networks that this build was worth doing right?
