If you've ever wondered what the origin of the Mach 1
was,
think again, but have a close look at this 1959 Ford concept car and the writing on its thrilling roof line.  |
 Ford Motor Co. is joining forces again with racing legend Carroll Shelby to produce a new high-performance Ford Mustang that will hit dealerships later this year. Ford announced the new vehicle to dealers at meetings in Las Vegas in mid-August 2006 | The
new Shelby GT is coming in January 2007- but in the wrong colours black or white. Make your voice heard. Fewer than 10,000 of the 4.6-liter, 325-horsepower coupes will be built. They will go on sale beginning in January based on a request by the dealers to react to customers complains about the GT500 prices. We hear the hood will be exchanged still, but we don't feel comfortable with the current concept car of the SHELBY GT. The 4.6-liter, 325-horsepower Shelby GT will only be offered as a coupe and in two exterior colors, Performance White or Black as the press notes run. We will however soon see another hot Shelby as told. We are sure it must be a green and a special GT500 Le Mans Edition. It could be so easy..to make money. The Low-Bucks Dealer Request Shelby GTs (LBDRS-GTs) will begin as standard Mustang GTs from Ford's Flat Rock assembly plant. They are then shipped to the Shelby Automobiles facility in Las Vegas for modification. The poor looking riveted hood is the worst element as of now. Shelby enthusiasts will have to call SA for launching it finally with a bit more tasteful colour choice like green and blue. |

A famous Shelby called 6S342 driven by Herbert Mueller of the Ecurie Filippinetti is returning finally to the States. After the Rosso Bianco museum has moved its inventory to the Netherlands, owner R.R. finally had a reason to bring his car home. R. bought it when he was stationed in Germany back then in the 80ies and lent it first to the Nuerburgring museum, then to the Rosso Bianco Museum. We are glad to see it finally back on the track some time in the near future, although it was one of my personal favourites, that I was interested to buy. |

Thierry R.
was one of the editors
that had the opportunity to ride the first
Shelby GT500 in Europe at the Le Mans Classic (July 7-9th., 2006) imported
after the Detroit press date and handled by Roush UK. Ford had it sent over to be used in a parade lap on the historic racetrack and to do special pics - might there be a special Le Mans version in the future?. The Shelby will be featured in a number of european mags like Auto Plus, Nitro, Octane and more to come. Blick online from Switzerland has already featured the car

Prototype or clone, they share the same dedication of their builders and a vision of what it should be, isn't that what leads to great cars? |

SFM5R107 made its first public debut after decades While we consider this Competition Model to be "ours", since it spent its racing career mostly in Germany, it returned to the US a long time ago after being rescued by Craig C. to the US. Restoration began, but due to a lack of time in his very busy schedule, he rather decided to let it go to be displayed finally. It was finished in time by Cobra Automotive's under Curt Voigts leadership and displayed for an east coast gentleman (the new owner) at the SAAC-31 for the first time. The new owner Paul .P. enjoys it a lot.

By coincidence we have just succeeded to link the owner of the other car to its past racer (Klaus Fritzinger and his Shelby clone that was the toughest competitor to 5R107) SAAC-31 saw a few other Shelbys first appearance after decades like the Ray Cuomo 66 Shelby Notchback #6 now owned by Frank Dobias/Jan Nelson (the later was the original driver).

The
Mustang GT-R - a brute street/strip car Samu Kaunisto from SK-Autosound owns this special GT-R and put a number of genius ideas in the customized 68 former S-code like fabricated audio trays, NOS-Bottle plus more. The Edelbrock equipped 302 spins wheels through a C-4 with 3500 TCI stall converter and is good for a low 12sec. run this season. See more on his car here More pics from the X-Treme-Festival here |

Low mileage (5255 Miles) Boss 429 found.
"I just purchased a very low mile 70 Boss 9 which I have been trying to buy for over 20 years. The car has only 5,255 miles. The engine had a lower end problem which was repaired at a Ford garage but because the dealer wanted the owner to pay for part of the repairs he hocked it up to a tow bar and took it home. The engine block was in a wagon" J.B. |

Exclusive TOP NEWS
One of the 1964 Tour de France Mustangs unearthed in 2006?! This car has been not on the racetracks since 1989, but is now under restoration. We are currently piecing together the history from this Mustang history icon and it's not easy to link it up through the years, but the VIN is right and documented. It has been believed to be burnt up in a workshop fire at Frami Racing, but that was most probably another Mustang. This might be indeed the DPK5B driven by Bo Ljungfeld in the Tour de France race, then driven by Mike Salmon, sold to Rob Slotemaker form the Algemeen Dagblad Racing Team, then sold to Serge Trosch. From there it went into a barn under pinball machines and was found by the current owner in the early 8oies, raced until 1989 and put into storage. Now it might be back soon.
