In 1967 Carroll Shelby did what many had deemed impossible: he offered a fine American GT car at, while not a cheap
price, a price within reason. He called it the G.T.500 and starting with Ford’s Mustang, he transformed it into a
genuine, fun-loving corner carver, and all for around $5,500. It caused a stir on streets everywhere. A Santa Cruz
Sentinel review from July of 1967 found that never had they tested a vehicle that got as much attention as the
Shelby G.T.500. They wrote “Kids swarmed over it when it was parked. Teenagers and grown men constantly quizzed
us about the car’s performance. And best of all, the ladies suddenly found the driver attractive.’ Those
spotlight-stealing qualities have remained with the model, which in the last couple of decades has transcended to
legendary status all thanks to a variety of factors. It has the grunt of a proper muscle car, packing a 428ci V8,
the drop dead gorgeous looks of a head-turner that balances racecar function with street machine style and deep
ties and connection to legendary driver Carroll Shelby. Car and Driver reviewed on in February of 1967 and called
it an ‘adult sports car’ and ‘a grown-up sports car for smooth touring. No more wham-bam, thank-you-ma'am,
just a purring, well controlled tiger. Like Shelby says, "This is the first car I'm really proud of.”’ That’s
high praise from a man who knew a thing or two about building performance-oriented machines that looked cool and
went fast. Car and Driver came away from their tester impressed, ‘expecting a cataclysm on wheels, the automotive
equivalent of the end of the earth. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the G.T.500 isn’t anything like
that.’ What they found was that it was pleasant with ‘all the viciousness gone out of the car’ but ‘without
any lessening of its animal vitality.’ It reacted with a light tough with confident braking. All in all, they
liked it – a lot.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
