1969 and 1970 Ford Mustang Mach Ones

Do you-- or did you-- own a 1969 or 1970 Ford Mustang Mach One?
(these cars were nearly identical in design and engineering specs, with over 99% interchangeable parts)

I bet you didn't know the much touted Shelby GT-350s of the same years were basically just hot-rodded Mach Ones with some lighter weight fiberglass body parts and a roll bar. The Boss 302 and 429 versions of this model didn't get roll bars or fancy fiberglass fenders, but some additional suspension tweaks and honest-to-God race car motors dropped in them, instead.

But they were all essentially modified Mach Ones.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss

The Ford Mustang is an automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964. 1969 was the benchmark year for Ford Mustang in its proliferation of performance names and engines. No less than 6 factory performance Mustang models were available (Boss 302, 429 Cobra Jet, Shelby GT350, GT500 and the Mach 1). Additionally, 9 variations of V-8s were available in the 69-70 cars.

Fighter-jet as future muscle car

Honda RA-X concept car Fighter-jet as future muscle Hailing from Spain, indie-designer Xuacu Pérez Quesada cooked up a concept vehicle that will have most Honda fans salivating. The Honda RA-X is a two-seater concept car that features Gull-wing doors and a sleek design that resembles a fighter-jet cockpit rather than an automobile.

The rear of the vehicle also features four exhaust pipes, and a series of rippled black panels that definitely offer the shuttlecraft aesthetic most geeks have been hoping for. According to the designer, the proposed vehicle would include an amazing 350 horsepower MR engine that would be visible through the top of the car's body.

Corvette goes back to the future

Ready to be unveiled at next week's Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, the curvaceous newcomer is the work of independent coachbuilder Anteros.

The swooping rear shoulder line and droop snoot nose are designed to be reminiscent of 'vettes of the Sixties.

Three variants have been produced. The Anteros XTM Roadster is pictured here, while an XTS Targa and an XTR Hardtop are also ready to hit the road.

The trio is built around the latest Corvette ZO6 chassis, but the engine is supercharged. Thought to be shared with the forthcoming high-performance flagship version of the Corvette - nicknamed Blue Devil - the blown 7.0-litre V8 has massive performance potential. In standard naturally aspirated tune the unit delivers 498bhp, but this grows to up to 650bhp in the Anteros. Prices have yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Corvette's own model development is gaining momentum. The latest prototype of the supercar- beating Blue Devil has recently been out testing at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany, and is now nearing production. The showroom-ready version, to be unveiled next year, should be priced at less than 0,000 (£54,000).

2010 Pontiac Firebird is it?

The demise of the Pontiac brand killed off any dreams that General Motors might create a Firebird model out of the new 2010 Chevy Camaro, but fans of the car may find some comfort in the Trans Am conversions that are being readied by the crew over at "Trans Am Depot". The company said that it will unveil a one-off Kevin Morgan "Trans Am" Concept at the 2009 Trans Am Nationals at the end of the month with the production version kits set to be available for order later this year.

The Phoenix T/A project that is said to recall the '77 - '78 Trans Am will feature among other things, new front and rear fascias, unique alloy wheels, lowered suspension and turned aluminum inserts in the interior plus a series of performance upgrades.

Trans Am Depot said that the company will be offering everything from the body conversion only to the limited Phoenix Edition with details, pricing and delivery information to be released at a latter date.

2010 Chevy Camaro

The 2010 Chevy Camaro is going be the car that brings back the charm and style of a sports car. Unlike the previous Camaro's, this new style Camaro is going to offer a smooth ride with a custom design. The horsepower of the Camaro promises to be a toy collectors dream come true. The LS-2 6.0 liter V8 offers up more horsepower than any other Camaro. The 400 horsepower engine is going to come in close behind the Corvette, but it will still have enough horsepower for the road. The car offers a smooth ride without any of the engine noise or any shaking and rattling that was apparent in older models.
When the 2010 Chevy Camaro comes out, it is going to have some competition from Ford and Dodge with the Mustang and Challenger, but it will still come out on top with the sporty look and superior horsepower. Whether you drive the manual transmission or the automatic transmission, reaching top speed will be no problem for those of us thrill seekers. If Chevy stays on plan with the independent rear suspension and MacPherson struts in the front, they should have a car capable of blowing away any other sports car in it's class!

The look of the 2010 Chevy Camaro is inspired somewhat by the original 1969 Camaro, but with bolder lines and a much more aggressive body style. The look of the car from the back is what is going to draw attention. Looking at the back window up to the roof, you see a smooth delivery that enhances the look of the car. When the 2010 Chevy Camaro first appeared at the Detroit car show, it was soon realized that that this was going to be a collectors dream. Although there is still some speculation as to when the car would come off the line, we now know that the new Chevrolet Camaro is going to become a realityThe only thing stopping everyone from owning this car is the release date. The original MSRP of the various models is still unknown, but with all the horsepower and custom design that will make this car "The car of the century" one can only imagine it will be worth every penny. Chevy dealerships around the country have already been flooded with the same question over and over, which isn’t how much is it going to cost, but when will it FINALLY be released. We finally have the answer. September 19th through the 21st, 2009 at the Brickyard event in Indianapolis, IN. Chevy officials will be on hand with several different trim styles and engine types, as well as all of the specifications you are dying to know about such as their horse power, gas mileage and MSRP.


If you owned a 1969 Camaro (or wished you did), you are definitely going to love the 2010 Chevy Camaro. It is destined to become equally as memorable and sought after as the 69 Camaro. Remembering back, collectors were willing to pay top dollar for a project car and cars in supreme condition went for more money than it costs you to buy a nice little house. It will be intriguing to see how the 2010 Chevy Camaro compares to the original in the long run.

2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang

The 2011 version of the Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang carries a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that weighs less, delivers more power and uses a unique spray-coating process that eliminates the need for cast-iron liners in the aluminum cylinder block.

The 550-hp Shelby GT500 also loses something from the previous model--it's gas-guzzler tax. Ford says the new Shelby GT500 will deliver 23 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg in the city. The engine is rated at 550 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.

Ford released details on the new Shelby GT500 on Monday. The car will be sold in coupe and convertible body styles, going on sale this spring as part of the full 2011 Mustang line.

The use of aluminum for the block helps cut 102 pounds from the engine. Instead of cast-iron cylinder liners, Ford uses a process named Plasma Transferred Wire Arc to spray a thin coating of iron on the inside of the cylinder bores. The process, adapted from the aerospace industry, saves eight pounds compared with a traditional aluminum block with iron liners, Ford says.

For those seeking even better handling performance, an available SVT Performance Package adds lighter wheels, a higher rear-axle ratio, stiffer springs and unique high-performance Goodyear tires.

Other changes include electric power steering and high-intensity discharge headlamps as standard equipment, and an optional glass roof for the coupes. All Shelby GT500s will continue to be fitted with Ford's stability-control system.

The History of Corvettes

The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been manufactured by Chevrolet since 1953. It is built today at the GM manufacturing center in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was the first all-American sports car built by an American car manufacturer.

The Corvette is rich in history. It’s also rich in nostalgia,meaning, and hope for many dreamers who are in live with the classic American muscle car. There are a lot of different types of Corvette Clubs one that fascinates me is the Corvette Restorer clubs. Thousands of Americans spend their every waking hour working on their corvettes.

To touch briefly on the Corvette and it’s history you have to remember the era of the 1950’s. I’m to young to remember so I had to ask around. We weren’t in such a hurry then and simplicity was key. The growth of the European luxury sports car was beginning to grow in America and one man had a vision to begin The American Sportscar. His name was Harley Earl. He worked for General Motors.

Originally the Corvette was named the EX-122, that was the design prototype name given by early designers when working on the project. Before the name was finally picked by Harley Earl it was suggested they name it The Corvair. But Harley selected Corvette, naming it after a fast type of British Royal Navy Ship.

The “corvette ship” was born out of dire need at the beginning of World War Two for something to fill the gap until the larger destroyers could be brought on line. The design that was used was an untested one based on a whaling ship. So a lighweight ship named the corvette ultimately became famous for being the American sports car.

In 1954 GM starts selling Corvettes to the general public. By the 1970’s the Corvette had solidified itself as The benchmark in American Sports Cars. Something it still holds on to until today.

2011 ford mustang

2011 Ford mustang

In reality we haven't seen anything that leads us to this conclusion but Mexican automotive site Myautomovil is speculating that Ford Motor Company may be planning on producing a limited edition Mach 1 Mustang in 2011. Their reasoning is that with the Mustang's new competition, the Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8, having so much more horsepower that Ford will want to level the playing field with a vehicle that stands somewhere between the Mustang GT, and the Shelby GT500. That vehicle would be a 2011 Mach 1.

Assuming that this is true what could we expect? First off it would only make sense that the Mach 1 would be the perfect candidate for the rumored "Coyote" engine. It is speculated that the new 5.0L DOHC powerplant puts out over 400 horsepower which would put it right up there with the competition. With the hp wars level again Ford could then focus on aesthetics. One could only assume that 2011 Mach 1 would be get the same basic treatment as previous models including a big shaker cowl sticking out of the hood, side and hood stripes in matte black, a black chin spoiler, side window louvers, and vintage style five spoke wheels possibly in the 20" range.

So is it going to happen? Only Ford knows for sure and they aren't letting the cat out of the bag. Just keep your fingers crossed!

Chevrolet Chevelle takes 5th spot

Another great muscle car from Chevrolet is the Chevelle. This car was below Camaro in Chevrolet’s product line, therefore was lower in terms of performance. It is still one of the favorite among the muscle fans.
