1969 Ford Mustang Fastback Supercharged Coyote-powered on 2040-cars
Voluntown, Connecticut, United States
Custom bodywork created by Allison’s includes a fiberglass hood with functional scoops and extractors, as well as modified side scoops with billet inserts. The exterior was refinished in blue using DuPont paint covered by multiple coats of clear. H4 headlamps and sequential-flashing taillights are fitted, and a custom “Powered by a Supercharged Coyote” badge is affixed to the front grille. The window trim, windows, wiper arms, mirrors, door handles, bumpers, and gas cap were also reportedly refinished or replaced during the build. The side and rear windows are tinted.
Multi-piece 18” True-Forged wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 tires. Wilwood disc brakes feature six-piston calipers up front and four-piston calipers out back, as well as drilled and slotted rotors all around. Adjustable coilovers are mounted at all four corners, and the TCI Engineering front clip includes tubular A-arms, rack-and-pinion steering, and subframe connectors.
Adjustable Sparco sport seats are equipped with four-point Sparco harnesses. A custom eight-point roll cage has also been fitted, and the rear seats were removed. Interior features include power windows, air conditioning, an aluminum Bowler shifter, and a custom center console with cup holders. When open, the driver’s door panel is equipped with a light projector that shines the Mustang logo on the ground.
An Alcantara-wrapped Sparco steering wheel is mounted to a tilting Ididit column and frames Dakota VHX gauges. A multi-function display on the passenger side of the dashboard shows vehicle speed, boost pressure, and engine rpm. A Kenwood CD player is connected to an amplifier, subwoofer, and four speakers.
The trunk was refinished with insulation and carpeting and is equipped with a battery cut-off switch and an Aeromotive fuel cell.
The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 was an “Aluminator” crate engine from Ford Performance and features an aluminum block, aluminum cylinder heads, forged Mahle pistons, Manley H-beam connecting rods, ARP rod bolts, a forged crankshaft, 32 valves, and Boss 302 valve springs. Additional engine-bay equipment includes an aluminum Griffin radiator, electric cooling fan, and Ring Brothers aluminum hood hinges.

Additional service included aligning the supercharger belt, repairing a vacuum leak and an oil line leak, changing the oil, and replacing the spark plugs.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
