Mustang: Racer for the Street - When Ford wanted to add
some spice to its new Mustang pony car in the mid-1960s, it
turned to talented, colorful, and opinionated Texan Carroll
Shelby, who was then building high-performance racing sports
cars (Cobras) using a British body and a Ford engine. The
resulting Shelby Mustangs proved to be the definitive performance
Mustangs of the muscle-car era. Ford has recently released
a new Mustang, the first truly all-new Mustang since 1979,
returning the model to the spotlight.The most-talked-about
and anticipated version of the new Mustang is the Shelby Cobra
GT500, which Ford will bring to market in 2006. Shelby himself
was involved in the development of what will be the most powerful
factory-produced Mustang ever. This rich new history from
award-winning authors Randy Leffingwell and David Newhardt
traces the Shelby Mustang story from the early Shelby America
cars built in a converted airplane hangar in Southern California
to the 2006 version of
the new Mustang.
