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. The engine is fitted with a Whipple supercharger and was reportedly re-tuned in October 2021 by Danbury Competition Engines in Connecticut. Additional service included aligning the supercharger belt, repairing a vacuum leak and an oil line leak, changing the oil, and replacing the spark plugs.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
Ford to rebrand SVT as 999?
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Ford operates a number of performance divisions around the world. There's SVT in the US, Team RS in Europe and Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) in Australia. But the Blue Oval has been steadily integrating its performance operations into one unit, and here we might have our first indication of what it will be called.
A reader at Jalopnik sent in a survey in which respondents were asked to gauge the name for a new performance brand from a "major automotive manufacturer," and while the identity of that automaker was not disclosed, according to the survey, the automaker is considering the name 999 for its new go-fast unit.
As our compatriots point out, the 999 was Ford's first racecar, a rudimentary chassis with a 19-liter inline-four campaigned by Henry Ford around the turn of the 20th century. (Ford also used the number to designate a Fusion fuel-cell racer a few years back.) That could prove the tie-in Dearborn is looking for in rebranding its performance operations worldwide, replacing the letters SVT, RS and FPV globally under one name.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
