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.

This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6
Thu, Dec 17 2015Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
