Several other option packages are available on pony cars, such as the Mach 1 package on 1969-1978 cars, and the GT option from Ford, which is still offered today. Looking forward to the fifth generation, a tribute to the original 302 was built from 2012-2013. The displacement of the engine was chosen purely for homologation purposes in several racing categories. In 1969, the 302 represented a special edition of the model with modified side air scoops, front architecture, and the introduction of the 302 cubic inch V8 with 290 hp. A 427 cubic inch racing engine was installed in the concept, turning out an impressive 650 hp. In addition to the production GT500, one concept car, the GT500 Super Snake, was dreamed up by Caroll. In 1967, the GT500 Cobra was added as a more powerful version of the pony car and was capable of pushing out 355 hp. His team of California customizers installed tuned 289 cubic inch V8s, tweaked to churn out 307 hp along with other performance modifications. They were delivered to Shelby in white, ready for modification. Over the course of history, Carroll Shelby has influenced and improved Ford’s design. Since then, the iconic fastback body style and numerous power plant variations and trim lines have followed it through its six generations of modified Mustangs for sale. Originally sold in 1964 as a coupe and convertible, the vehicle was available with an inline six-cylinder engine producing 101 hp, or a 260 cubic inch, 164 hp V8.

Based on the platform of one of Ford’s other compact models, the car wore a sporty body with updated interior styling. It’s easily the best-looking Thunderbird since the mid-’50s original (that wouldn’t be difficult) – and maybe even the best-looking of all.Emerging as a four-seater and then a two-seater concept in 1963, the custom Ford Mustang for sale stepped into the light as another chapter in the company’s already a wide success. Where even the likes of BMW have struggled (I never thought the Z8 was a pretty sight), Ford has successfully repeated this difficult visual manoeuvre with the latest Mustangs. Find a black one with a black cabin and you’d have a beautiful dual-purpose grand touring convertible that makes a rare and interesting alternative to those ubiquitous SLs.Īs the final iteration of the Thunderbird line (at least up to now), the 11th-generation cars probably suffer from being lumped in with all those other – mostly awful – ‘retro’ designs that appeared around the same time.īut I don’t think that criticism is justified for me, this is a car that evokes the best elements of its predecessors but still has a fresh, clean feel of its own.
Here, possibly, lies the answer to the interior ‘problem’.
