    Just Joined The Shelby Club

    I just pulled the trigger and got a 2007 GT500 with only 3521 miles on it. The guy who traded it in had bought it for his wife and she was afraid to drive it. So they got a Raptor, not as scary to drive on city streets. My previous car was a 1973 Mach 1 which I had to sell 4 years ago.:cry:My...

    2013 Boss 302 inbound

    Looks like the 2013 Boss 302's are going to be available right from the start. Just checked incoming 2013 Mustang inventory and our first one is a Boss in Gotta Have It Green. Nice. Supposed to be here March 19th. I thought it would be a GT or a V6. Still not word on when to expect the GT500...

    1973 Mach 1 for sale

    My car is a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 which I have owned since 2003. Since I bought the car I have put on the front end of a 1971 Mustang. I have also used the 1971 rear bumper brackets to bring the rear bumper closer to the body. I bought the car off of the original owner in 2003 and he had already...

    Mickey Thompsons '69 Mach 1 and 211mph Fairlane

    I thought I'd restart this thread with a different title. This is Mickey Thompson's original 1969 record setting Mach 1, it even smelled like an old Mustang inside. They let Brian Thompson, Mickey's son, do the inaugural run down one of the courses however he had to keep it below 120 (I...

    The Mustang is finally painted. All that's left is color sanding, 2 more coats of clear and re-assembly. I've grouped the pics of before clear and after.

    New Overhaulin'

    Watched the "new and improved" Foose version of Overhaulin' last night and I was not impressed. Foose can certainly design and build a car but he is no TV producer. I found the new show dull, missing the spark of the previous seasons. From the opening credits to the reveal the new show was...

    Staggered Rear shock advantages

    I know that when staggered rear shocks were installed back in the '60's their main purpose was to reduce axle hop on acceleration. However I've been reading literature on F Series trucks and the say that the staggered rear shock arrangement was done for better ride quality. So does it stand to...

    Retrotek in Mustangs and Fords

    Got the lastest issue in the mail yesterday and they did an install and dyno test of the Boss EFI system on a 393 Windsor. The 1200cfm system showed a 12hp and 22lb increase over the 750 carb; and the 750cfm Boss system showed a 2hp and 20lb increase over the carb. In both cases they claim much...

    Boss 351 with auto and a/c ebay auction

    The best part of this auction is questions from other members. Go back to page one and read forward. The seller took a pasting but it looks like he was vindicated in the end. But then a Boss 351 with an auto and a/c would arouse suspcions (and rightly so) in a lot of people...

    4Musclemachines is this your engine for sale

    Frank I saw this ad in Racing Junk. The pic in the ad looks an awful lot like a pic of your stock engine in it's custom stand that I'd seen before. This can't be your engine, can it? http://www.racingjunk.com/post/1037471/71-MUSTANG-BOSS-351-COMPLETE-ENGINE-N-TRANS.html

    '71-'73 Mustang innner fender liners

    Did our cars come with these? I don't think so but the guy prepping my car says they did. Now he is a GM guy and most, if not all, GM cars had these so I'm guessing that's what he is thinking. I've done a little research, looked at picks of Boss 351's being put back together, and didn't see...

    '71-'73 Argent front spoiler

    Does anybody know if there is a source for these? I can find black all day long but as far as I know you can't paint the ABS spoilers. Or at least paint them well.

    Do I need staggered rear shocks on my '73?

    I have the pieces to change over to staggered rear shocks on my car. Before I have the interior disassembled again and have the floor plasma-torched I need to know what the real world benefits to this are? The car is going to be street driven only and never raced. I know the staggered shocks...
