1967 Ford Mustang [Down On The Street]

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. It's time for another 1960s Mustang!



Lots of street-driven early Mustangs in this town; so far we've had this '65, this '65, this '66, this '66, this '68, this '69, this '69, this '69, and this '73 in the series. What about the competition from GM and Chrysler? Well, we've seen a single first-gen GM F-Body and just one Chrysler E-Body. Something is going on here; perhaps Mustangs survive the rigors of the street better than Camaros and Challengers, or maybe it's just that Mustang owners don't have quite the same levels of trailer-queen-grade protectiveness about their cars.


Either way, it's nice to have our first 1967 Mustang; we just need a 1964-1/2, and one each from the 1970-72 period to get the complete set. This one looks to be very solid, and it's either a rare factory disc-brake model or (far more likely) a junkyard Granada donated its brake hardware. I've always thought that Cragar S/S wheels look particularly good on these cars.


Hey, it's the Evil Orange Chevelle SS396 parked across the street! You can't see it in these photos, but the green '72 IHC Scout lives just a few doors down. Great block!

2010 Ford Mustang Ad Campaign Kicks Off Tonight During Premiere of Knight Rider

Modern Speed Machines Creates The MSM Mustang GT, And Lo, A Darkness Hath Descendeth Upon The Track

From Drew Phillips at Muscle Car News; the guys of Modern Speed Machines have created a supercharged Ford Mustang GT that sufficiently kicks the 2009 Hennessey Dodge Challenger’s ass in the exterior design department. So intimidating is the black on black design, no corny play on AC/DC lyrics or clichéd Stealth Bomber references seem to do it justice [though several were tried].

Co-owned by cousins Gilly Rojany and Eric Rojany, Modern Speed Machines is an aftermarket performance part manufacturer that is devoted solely to outfitting 5th generation Ford Mustangs. The MSM Mustang is the Rojany’s flagship creation and the ultimate testament to the sweet, sweet love they can make to a Mustang [sounds more illegal than I intended for it to]. A 2005 S197 Ford Mustang at its core, MSM’s studly ’stang [sorry] is outfitted with a handmade with MSM’s 3D Carbon Boy Race Body Kit and the most intimidating leather job I’ve ever seen, Harley riders’ gear notwithstanding. Under the hood, the MSM Mustang is 500 horses strong thanks to a Paxton High-Output supercharger, 39 lb. Ford Racing fuel injectors, K&N air filter, and JBA Performance Exhaust System.

Definitely meant for tearing up the asphalt on the track, even though I’m a diehard Volvo fan [who knew?], I’m not ashamed to admit that I’d love to get behind the wheel of MSM’s creation and really see what she can do. And, because I’m fairly certain only 4 people within the continental US will ever read this any given time, I’m also not ashamed to admit that the same indecent proposal I offered to GM in exchange for track time with the Chevy Volt, I’d also like to extend to MSM et al…call me, guys.

NSFW: Ford F-350 Super Duty Versus A Horse [Nsfw]

The other day we saw a gruesome display of Bambi meeting a Chevy Trailblazer at speed, and now oilburner ups the ante with a Ford F-350 SuperDuty taking down a horse. It's NOT-AT-ALL-SAFE-FOR-WORK!


According to our sources, this was the result of an F-350 Super Duty minding his own business, driving along at 50 MPH on a dark night, who came across a darkly-colored horse crossing the road. The damage is pretty extensive with horse bits all over in what remains of the truck. What a mess. Horse sashimi anyone?

2009 Ford Focus: Financial Panic Edition

According to an article published today in the New York Times, Ford Motors is going to be shifting their production focus dramatically.

Although official statements aren’t scheduled to be released until Thursday (in conjunction with second quarter financial reports), unidentified sources within the company prematurely revealed that Ford’s top priority will become smaller, more fuel efficient cars.

Currently, of the 14 assembly plants Ford operates on American soil, 8 of those are singularly devoted to the production of trucks and SUVs. On Thursday, as a part of its new focus, Ford is expected to disclose its plan to convert 3 of the aforementioned 8 to small-car production.

Described as an “unprecedented overhaul”, Ford’s new trajectory is lead by Alan R. Mullay, a former Boeing executive who began as Ford’s chief executive officer in September 2006. Of Ford’s anticipated transformation, Mullay explained, “We don’t have a sustainable company if we don’t do this.”

Chicago Auto Show: Ford Works Solutions Aims to Improve Productivity for F-Series Owners

The Ford and Microsoft pairing is proving to be quite productive. First they released the Sync system that, among other things, added voice recognition capability to your phone and stereo system in equipped Ford models, but now they are adding in-dash computers with their Ford Works Solutions package for their F-Series and E-Series and soon with the Transit Connect work van.

Included in the Ford Works Solutions in-dash features that are Powered by Microsoft Auto are internet access provided by Sprint Mobil Broadband and Navigation by Garmin. The Works Solutions system takes up the same area that the typical in-dash navigation system would be housed and includes a 6.5 inch, high resolution touch screen, wireless keyboard and mouse, SD card slot, USB port, a 2GB of memory and a stylus pen for the touch screen that is housed next to the CD in the dash.
To further aid F-Series owners on the job the on-board computer is business equipped to assist the worker on-site in accessing files in the main office PC or home, printing invoices on location with the built in printer, and it also has word processing and spreadsheet software within. Like the Sync system the Ford Works Solutions have voice recognition, hands free calling and access to user phonebooks and text messaging.

For further details on the Ford Works Solutions in-dash features check out the video below.
