The only way this car could be any hotter is if it were a hard top. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against a superchargd, 5.4-liter V8 drop-head with 540 horses. No sir. I just like my ponies with a mean roof line. Of course Ford isn’t calling this particular GT500 an STP special, [...]

OK, while most of you couldn’t even afford to buy your mistresses Xmas gifts this year, some guy just paid $4,350,000 for two Shelby Cobras. Meaning that obviously these Cobras are race pedigreed, Bob Bondurant piloted Sebring winners, right? Um… no! The first and much more expensive car is CSX 3021 (pictured above), thought to be [...]

I know this is a bad thing to say, but here goes: For this review I’m tossing the small amount of journalistic credibility I possess out the window. Behind the couch, under the bus — wherever, it’s gone. Bye-bye. Why? Years ago I read an article (don’t recall the publication) that described Bryant Gumbel’s interview [...]

They were going to call it the Brock Coupe. Then they decided to call it the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. More of a proper name, for sure. And long one of my favorite cars. Did I mention that Superformance let me drive it, not just lean against its fiberglass shell? They let me drive it [...]

I do agree with Levy — Ford could have done better than the popcorn. Although I really liked the Fritos. And the cute young lady that gave me four bags when I only asked for one. Hey, it’s called, “blogger chic.” But yes, Mustangs. Tons of ‘em. Including at least one dozen new 2010 models. [...]

The Ford folks quite rightly spared no expense on the launch of their latest and greatest Mustang tonight at Barker Hangar at Santa Monica CA on the eve of the 2008 Los Angeles International Auto Show. Well they actually spared a little—on the food—popcorn and Doritos aren’t the best way to a portly auto journo’s [...]

Just in time for Christmas. The man himself has dipped into his private collection to benefit the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. Carroll Shelby is ponying up his personal 1968 EXP500 CSS Mustang—a reproduction of the Green Hornet car Shelby used to test equipment on in the ‘60’s. Built by Restoration Hardware, this ‘Stang has been [...]

There’s a funny scene from the otherwise forgettable poker spoof The Grand where Richard Kind’s character refers to Doyle Brunson as “Tex Brunson” and the announcer Phil Gordon says, “…it’s a tell when you don’t know who Doyle Brusnon is.” Likewise, you can’t call yourself a racing fan if you don’t know Phil Hill, who [...]

When people think about American racing, they often think first of Carroll Shelby. And why not? His Cobra and Daytona Coupes were totally dominant during the first half of the 1960s. Shelby stuck real men like Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill and Jack Sears at the various helms and even managed to [...]
