The difference between Mustang engine bays, for a 289 or a Boss 429
Taken from close to the same view angle, these are a terrific aid in determining all the mods that Ford had to do to shove a 427, 428, or 429 into a early MustangThanks to Ed for the photos!

Autoblog's years best photos
1937 Bugatti Atlantic Type 57sc at the Mullin museum Historic races at Monterey Love the paint scheme and the Barracuda looking custom Challenger. Too bad they don't have the guts to factory make a good Barracuda, I don't give a damn that the "Plymouth" brand doesn't exist... the car would have nothing in common with real 67-71 Barracudas anyway, beside a few retro looking design touches. XK-SS
Sponsorship, expensive stuff. Applause to Monster; getting Ken Block to do exhibit runs a couple times a day, bringing stages, free drinks, and atvs
those cans of Monster energy drink, they cost about 3 dollars apiece normally, and were given away for free all week!
Is this a good photoshop swap? Or a 2nd photo from a good photographer? It's a photoshopped VW over the Stang
AJ scoped it out, and noticed that the bug is not completely hiding the Mustang's front fender Same exact setting as the bottom photo, and the Mustang is smaller than the VW so it's possible that the vw is photoshopped over the stang This VW was photographed by Iris Antonio according to the sources of the photo I've found .. but like AJ pointed out, the but is a clever photoshop that didn't quite
New 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302

New 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Front of View


2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca
The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 was unveiled this morning at Mazda Raceway Mustang Laguna Seca, and we were at the track bright and early to see it take a lap around the famous race course. Due to some early morning rain, the lap actually never happened (we weren't told and were up at the corkscrew for about an hour waiting in the rain), but we managed to make it down to the pits to catch our first glimpse at the car.
We'll spare you going over the details again - you can see the official press release, photos and video from our post this morning – but what we can bring you are the first live photos of the Mustang Boss 302, including a few of the "Laguna Seca" edition.
2011 Shelby Roush SR-71 Mustang Sold $375,000!

2011 Shelby Roush SR-71 Mustang
For the first time ever Carroll Shelby and Jack Roush are teaming up to create a one off Mustang for charity! According to a recently published article by Roush Performance, both Shelby and Roush have met with Ford Motor Company to design and engineer the 2011 SR-71 Mustang which will go up for auction at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Airventure Aviation Show. All proceeds from the auction will go to support the EAA’s Young Eagles program.
Ford Motor Company has been a proud supporter of EAA and the Young Eagles for the past 15 years by providing various vehicles and donations each year to be raffled and auctioned off. Last year Ford created the AV-X10 Mustang which sold at auction for $250,000. The year prior Ford built another one-of-a-kind Mustang for the Airventure show, the 2008 AV8R Mustang. The AV8R was named after the famous P-51 fighter plane, which played a key role in World War II as a bomber escort. It sold for an amazing $500,000! In 2006 Ford and Shelby donated a Shelby GT-H Mustang, which sold for $250,000.
The 2011 SR-71 Mustang was inspired by the SR71 "Blackbird" spy plane built by Lockheed Martin in the 60s, an airplane that holds the world record for the fastest air breathing manned aircraft in history. The SR-71 Mustang will be packed with tons of unique features including a Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger atop it's 5.0L V8 engine and Carroll's and Jack's signatures embroidered on the seats. The auction for the SR-71 Mustang will take place on July 29th at 7:30 PM CST at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
