Marti Auto Works Ford Mustang hardtop window sticker

We know first hand a superior Ford Mustang fan and supporter when we meet one, and every one of the fine folks at Marti Auto Works has shown to be the ones to set the bar.  Now, after continuing their data mining & spelunking, they have formulated an extravagant process to reproduce exact original window stickers which were on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.  Each one of them has received the focus and data integrity to make them as rock-solid as the cars they once…and now adorn(ed).

Everything right down to the exact weight of paper printed upon, the correct pin-punched holes, and precise manufacturer terminology in options and dealer requisites is completely on-target.

Take a look at a sample sheet and the Press Release which follows.

Unless you’ve avoided blockbuster movies and the myriad of children’s toys surrounding Pixar’s smash-hit, CARS, then you’re well-aware that June 24th will bring its sequel, CARS 2, to the silver screen.  What’s even cooler about the follow-up to the 2006 hit is we’ll get to see a lot of the old crew back, as well as many new faces grilles…including a classic 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang, personified by sports telecaster Brent Musburger.  And of course, Brent will fulfill the role Bob Costas held in the first go ’round.

So just what car do you drop $25 to $35K upon when you are looking for the most bang for the buck?  Well, not surprisingly these days, the choices of efficient and powerful street cars isn’t always an easy one.  That being said, however, the choice to pick up either the Ford Mustang coupe or a new, powerful Ford Mustang GT…isn’t a hard call, considering the competition.

A recent head-to-head between several cars, including the Ford Mustang, Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer, and the Hyundai Genesis proved that the all-American classic isn’t one to sniff or sneeze at…let alone completely ignore.

Every now and then, we catch wind of someone’s project and are so happy that people are still so focused upon old-school Ford Mustang special editions.  The latest in the news is the 1968 Steve McQueen Signature Mustang, released by a joint effort between Gateway Classic Mustang and the Steve McQueen estate.  This 1967 or 1968 Ford Mustang beauty should ring familiar bells and lay hue & give cues to the very car driven in the 1968 film’s San Francisco chase sequence.

The 1968 Steve McQueen Signature Edition is definitely no slouch on style, performance, or all-around goodness.  Check out the gallery as well as the press release for more details on the car’s build.

Well, we all know that Ford is not one to stop within the R&D and product promotion arenas, so it’s no surprise the ground pounding photographers are catching glimpses of the forthcoming 2013 Shelby GT500.  What’s most exciting is the GT500 could prospectively pump out well over 600 horsepower.  Carroll, do we need a name change on aisle 5?  Perhaps…

Many sources are pointing to the fact the trusty supercharged 5.4-liter V8 will be bolstered to 5.8-liters (whoa, 351!) and the Eaton M112 will make its curtain call, leaving room for the next-gen TVS unit while providing more power, less noise, and more efficiency overall.

Or at least that’s at least what hints, hopes, and rumors point toward in the upcoming years of the Ford Mustang.  We Mustang fans have to believe that something truly awesome will come on the eve of OR the year of the Mustang 50th Anniversary.  So much goodness has come out of Dearborn and the aftermarket these past few years, it’s gonna be hard to keep the inquiring minds at bay until the time comes…when rumor & speculation are laid to the wayside of truth.

We know there’s a long line of people who wish they had a 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R by SVT in their garage…and an even longer line of people who pine after one that’s completely without blemish.  How cool would it be to have your very own unmolested Ford Mustang, let alone one from Coletti’s legacy at Ford’s SVT division?  Sound like something you’re interested in?  Well…here’s your chance.  Better hurry and at least browse the auction, as it has just over a week remaining.

We were smitten with the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 the second we got behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. We described the 412 horsepower engine as “a pot of pure honey” as well as “intoxicating,” and said that the “5.0-liter V8 pulls like a jet airliner.” With a curb weight of just over 3,600 pounds, the Mustang GT is not as bloated as the Camaro, but by no means a lightweight. Would we like the 5.0L even more if it had less mass to push around?

These guys have stepped on a limb, and quite honestly, they chose a solid footing while doing so. Being a maker of Shelby-license Cobra replicas already, the Superformance crew knew they had a good opportunity land on their dock when the coyote arrived in crate form, ready to be bled to life inside a Cobra’s engine bay.

When we think about the Ford Mustang, there’s a myriad of concepts that come up.  The aftermarket.  The legendary 5.0 return to the limelight.  The awesome racing at the road course and/or drag strip.  The TV show.  Wait, what?  Yes, a Ford Mustang TV spot.  Really?

A new concept, “American Pony Builders”, is set to hit the ‘waves courtesy of the crew at R&A Motorsports to cover all things Mustang.  With the show hosted by Jeff Yergovich, a 35-year Mustang veteran, the scope here is going to be narrowed upon restorations, modifications, tuning, events, shows, auctions, and niche products all related to the Ford Mustang.

We knew the feat would repeat.  Ford continues to stay ahead of the curve & calendar, keeping the Ford Mustang enthusiast community full of tidbits to chew upon.  On the eve of 2011, Ford has officially taken the wraps off the 2012 Mustang pricing spectrum, letting the world know they mean business with the next wave of Mustangs–from the 300hp Mustang V6 to the supercharged 5.4-liter Shelby GT500.  Last month, we saw the order guides and the candy shop collection of options, packages, and add-ons for the 2012 Mustang–here, we’re back with solid, publicized pricing straight from FoMoCo.

So, what’s the verdict?  How much more are we going to have to shell out to play with a new 5.0-powered Mustang GT?  Anywhere between $200 and $700 more, depending on hardtop or rag top.  Hey, ya gotta pay to play, right?
