Spy Shots: More photos of the 2010 Ford Mustang |
Sep 07, 2008 - 12:22 PM - by David Burkart
|
Designed to promote and excite enthusiasts about the launch of Ford’s next Mustang, the2010mustang.com recently brought its title subject along during a parade somewhere in small town America. Of course, the ploy was designed to motivate at least one amateur photographer to snap some more “spy photos.” (Can we even call them that anymore?)
Thankfully, the photos happened to be hi-res and daringly close to the unreleased pony car. These are some of the most intimate shots we’ve seen. It seems these "spy" photographers are getting better and better every day...
The hype surrounding the 2010 model is largely due to the redesign of the body- the first major alteration to the S197's body since its release in 2004.
This isn't the first sighting of the camouflaged Mustang and we're sure it won't be the last. The official unveiling of the 2010 Mustang will take place at the famous LA Auto Show later this year.
Anyhow, click on the thumbnails below to check out the hi-res spy shots of the 2010 Ford Mustang.

Dream Stang: Win a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertible |
Sep 05, 2008 - 11:45 AM - by David Burkart
|
For many enthusiasts, it doesn’t seem practical to go and purchase a 2008 Mustang from the dealer because they’re being given away like hotcakes! The latest giveaway is taking place in the Joliet Area Historical Museum in Joliet, Illinois, where organizers are raffling off a torch red 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertible! Proceeds will benefit the museum.
Once the museum received the vehicle from Rūb Ford Inc., it seems they were reluctant to give it away too quickly. The vehicle is currently on display in the museum’s lobby where it stands aside “The Route 66 Experience” exhibit and the upcoming “Soaring Achievements of John C. Houbolt” display.
Tickets are $35 each or three for $100 and only 3,500 will be offered. The winning raffle tickets will be drawn at the museum’s 7th Annual Gala Ball, “Fly Me to the Moon: A Star-Filled Night at the Museum” on Saturday, October 4, 2008. Winners will not be required to be in attendance to win.
The first place winner will be able to choose between $25k... [Read More]

Bold Moves: Ford MoCo releases redesigned pony badge for 2010 Mustang |
Aug 28, 2008 - 5:25 PM - by David Burkart
|
Continuing their efforts to appease the cravings of drooling Mustang enthusiasts anticipating the 2010 model, Ford MoCo has released photos of its redesigned Mustang badge. Accentuating the redesigned model’s muscular appearance, the new badge will do well to represent the new era of the Mustang.
“It’s just a faster-looking steed,” said George Saridakisi, Design manager for the 2010 Mustang.
“We wanted to give the Mustang pony a more realistic feel,” said Douglas Gaffka, chief designer for the 2010 Mustang. “We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance. “It’s more chiseled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse. It’s more realistic in terms of proportion to an actual Mustang.”
The new model won’t be officially unveiled until the LA Auto Show later this year, but it’s these tiny details that keep enthusiasts salivating. Stay tuned to StangPlanet for plenty of more updates on the 2010 Mustang.

Brian Saltis' 2006 Ford Mustang - "Black Betty" |
Sep 05, 2008 - 12:22 PM - by David Burkart
|
Brian Saltis became immersed in his passion in his friend’s driveway after he had just received his driver’s license. His friend’s mother had a beautiful fastback, but between the two of them, only Brian could drive.
“I think we wore the tires off of that thing in a few nights,” says Saltis. “It was a lot of fun.”
Suddenly, 25 years passed, and his commitment to raising a family yielded many purchases of pickup trucks and family cars. But then came the release of the S197 platform.
“I was really impressed... [Read More]

Rick Bombard's 1971 Grabber Green Mach 1 Ford Mustang |
Aug 18, 2008 - 4:20 PM - by David Burkart
|
Rick Bombard’s classic has been around the block. Several times. But you wouldn’t know it.
He purchased his 1971 Mach 1 Mustang at Summer Carlisle in 1994, and all 14 years since, its eccentric Grabber Green coat has continued to stick out on the road more than most new sports cars.
Beneath the hood sits an M-code 351C 4V Cleveland and a C6 automatic. Unfortunately, his 3.25 trac-loc is long gone and has since been replaced with a “cheesy” 2.79 open rear that he claims... [Read More]

Jake Morris' 1967 Ford Mustang coupe |
Aug 06, 2008 - 6:32 AM - by David Burkart
|
The first car is always a big purchase. Jake Morris wasn’t expecting much—like most kids, he was looking for a Honda to tinker with and get his feet wet with mods. Several weeks into his car search during freshman year of high school in 2007, however, he stumbled across a 1967 Mustang coupe. The search was over.
“Once I saw the first picture of this Mustang, I knew I had to have it,” says Morris.
His family lived in Huntsville, Alabama, about two hours from the Mustang in Birmingham. So, he and his father took a... [Read More]
