1969 Ford Mustang Fastback 5.0 BOSS 94.7 WCSX Stone Soup Project
This is truly a one-of-a-kind, spirit-of-Detroit collector car. It was built for charity and raffled off by Detroit's Classic Rock Station 94.7 WCSX to benefit The Children's Miracle Network at Beaumont Hospital. All parts and labor were donated by industry leading companies. Based on the fable of "Stone Soup" - where everyone pitches in and you wind up with something wonderful - this project is a reflection of the automotive spirit and hard working nature of Detroit.
They started out with a special Dynacorn 1969 Mustang Fastback shell that was purchased by Ford Motor Company in 2009 and hung on display at SEMA in 2010. Roush donated a 2013 Roush Coyote 5.0RSC 600HP 302L Ford Racing BOSS and the project was set in motion. Dozens of automotive companies around the Detroit area contributed parts and labor to create a high performance vehicle with the very best components available on the market.

No heater or air conditioner whatsoever--there was not enough room under the hood! But the dash controls for the heater are in place. There is no parking brake. There is no windshield washer fluid pump. The speedometer, odometer, and temperature gages DO NOT work--this is how I recieved the car. The radio worked when I got the car but has stopped working since.

This car was highly publicized and sought after in the months leading up to the raffle. It was featured on display at every major 2012 car cruise in Detroit, including the Woodward Dream Cruise. Acknowledged by Bill Ford and Alan Mulally, this Mustang raised over $130,000 for its cause and raffle tickets were purchased by high profile Detroit celebrities such as Alice Cooper.
Here is a letter from Bill Ford about the Mustang:
LETTER FROM BILL FORD TO EVERYONE

Jim O'Brien
-------------
Dear Jim,
Wow! The photo you sent of the 575 hp Roush Supercharged '69 Mustang is stunning!
Congratulations to you and the entire WCSX crew behind the Stone Soup Project, as well as all the car enthusiasts, hobbyists, die hards and automotive suppliers who all came together to build this fabulous car from the shell up.
Pulling together for a great cause in this instance, the Children's Miracle Network at Beaumont Children's Hospital is one of the things that makes Detroit a great place to live, work and show our passion for cars. Good luck to all those who purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning this latest creation from the Motor City!
Bill Ford

MY OWN WORDS:
This car has a remanufactured body made for Ford Motor Company in 2009 by Dycorn Inc., an industry leader in remanufacted classic car shells. This is not an original 1969 Ford Mustang body. Because of this, the car is titled by Michigan Secretary of State as a 2013 Assembled Vehicle.
This car is is basically a custom built race car with the body of a 1969 Mustang Fastback. It is absolutely stunnning to look at, and there is enough under the hood to put any regular manufactured sports car to shame. After driving this car for a few hours, I can say that its the fastest car I've ever been in or will be in my entire life, and I didnt even push it to its limits. Every single part used to make this car is used on race cars, not street cars. The person who buys this car is a getting a race car. The fuel pump hums and the supercharger whistles when its running. The suspension is so tight, you feel every bump and the tires grip the cement like glue. There is a governor that sets the max RPMs to about 5500, but this engine is designed to redline at least 7000. With a 6 speed manual trans, you can squeel the tires in every gear.
I have a professional appraisal from a local automobile author and historian "Top Hat" John Jendza, His appraisal of $65,000 is based on the price it would cost to buy all of the parts and components used to build the car. The Roush engine alone retails for approximately $18,000 and the Dynacorn body about $17,000. Factor in tens of thousands of dollars in labor to build it, and you're looking at a value of nearly $100,000 to reproduce.
This car is not for everyone and it is not perfect. But if you're looking to buy a brand new race car with super premium parts that looks like a classic muscle car, then this is the car for you!

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
