So muss ein ein modernes
MUSCLE CAR aussehen.
 
Nach langen Jahren mit "vernünftigen" Autos hat es mir der
US FORD MUSTANG 4.6 lt V8 GT, S197, angetan.

Und das obwohl ein FORD für mich nie zur Wahl stand.
 
 
 
 
Muscle cars have to look like it.

Although FORD was never my favourite, I could't resist a modern MUSTANG.

 
 
 
Appearance:
18" Deep-Dish Rims Bullitt Style and BF tires
 
Sound:
comes from JBA  
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sowas könnte mir ernsthaft gefallen...
 
LET's SAY ...

PROJECT MUSTANG 67-68
 
 
Für das Modelljahr 1967 wurde ein neuer Mustang vorgestellt, der optisch dem erfolgreichen Erstling glich, allerdings in allen Dimensionen etwas größer ausfiel, auch um im Motorraum Platz für hubraumstärkere Maschinen zu schaffen. Der Kühlergrill war etwas größer als zuvor, ebenso die Lufthutzen-Attrappen vor den Hinterrädern und die Heckblende, in deren Mitte der Tankverschluss saß, war konkav ausgeführt. Das Motorenprogramm wurde nach oben hin durch den neuen 6,4-Liter-Motor (390 cui) mit 235 kW (320 PS) ergänzt.

Die Modelle 1968 erkennt man am Verzicht auf Ziersicken direkt vor den seitlichen Hutzen-Attrappen vor den Hinterrädern. Das Motorenprogramm wurde gründlich überarbeitet; vom 4,7-Liter-V8 blieb nur eine 143 kW (195 PS) starke Variante mit Doppelvergaser lieferbar, den 6,4-Liter-V8 gab es in einer Normalversion mit 206 und einer GT-Variante mit 239 kW (325 PS). Neu waren ein 4,9-Liter-V8 mit 169 kW (230 PS) sowie zwei verschiedene Siebenliter-Motoren. Dabei handelte es sich einmal um den Cobra Jet-V8 (7015 cm³) mit 246 kW (335 PS), zum anderen um den konstruktiv nicht verwandten Hochleistungs-Siebenliter mit 6999 cm³ und 287 kW (390 PS).

Vom Mustang der zweiten Generation entstanden in zwei Jahren 789.000 Exemplare, darunter 113.000 Fastback-Modelle und 70.000 Cabriolets.

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first model to feature a major redesign with the installation of a big-block V8 engine. The overall size, interior and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967) and chrome (1968) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes. The high-performance 289 option was placed behind the newer 320 hp (239 kW) 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE engine from the Ford Thunderbird, which was equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. A 390 GT engine, and a 4-speed manual transmission recorded quarter mile times of approximately 13 seconds and trap speeds of over 105 mph (169 km/h). During the mid-1968 model year, a drag racer for the street could be ordered with the optional 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet engine which was officially rated at 335 hp (250 kW) all of these Mustangs were issued R codes on their VIN#'s.

The 1967 and 1968 models discontinued the "Pony Interior" in favor of a new deluxe interior package, which included special color options, brushed stainless steel (1967) or woodgrain (1968) trim, seat buttons, a tilt steering wheel, and special interior paneling. The 1968 models that were produced during 1968 were also the first year to incorporate 3 point lap belts as opposed to the standard lapbelts The air-conditioning option was fully integrated into the dash, the speakers and stereo were upgraded, and unique center and overhead consoles were options. The fastback model offered the option of a rear fold-down seat, and the convertible was available with folding glass windows. Gone too was the Rally-Pac, since the new instrument cluster had provisions for an optional tachometer and clock. Its size and shape also precluded the installation of the accessory atop the steering column.

The California Special Mustang, or GT/CS, was visually based on the Shelby model and was only sold in Western states. Its sister, the 'High Country Special', was sold in Denver, Colorado. While the GT/CS was only available as a coupe, the 'High Country Special' model was available in fastback and convertible configurations in 1966 and 1967 and only as a coupe in 1968. A third variant that you might come across in your travels if you are lucky is the 1968 Cardinal Edition. Unlike the GT/CS and the High Country Special, the Cardinal Edition was a dealer installed package. What would happen is they would arrive at your local NC/VA Ford dealers in a Candy Apple Red and the dealers would apply their unique diamond shaped emblem featuring a Cardinal, with a black C stripe finishing off the package.

The Mustang fastback gained popular culture status when used in the crime thriller Bullitt (1968). Lt. Frank Bullitt, played by actor Steve McQueen, drove a modified Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT fastback with 390 cu in (6.4 L) 4V engine, chasing two hitmen in a black 1968 Dodge Charger in the film's car chase through the streets of  San Francisco (Movie YOU TUBE).
