A Rare Pairing: A Twin-Turbo, Five-Speed Lincoln Mark VII vs. An LS1 Caprice Coupe
It’s not exceedingly rare to see either one of these cars at a dragstrip. The Lincoln Mark VII and LSC are essentially longer Mustangs in tuxedos and the B-body Caprices can tolerate just about...

Free Snake: Gifting A 1979 Ford Mustang Cobra That Was Saved From The Junkyard

Money No Object: 1969 Ford Torino Cobra 428 SCJ
If it wasn’t bright red and it wasn’t wearing a couple of little badges and the giveaway hoodscoop, this would be a basic-model Ford Torino, complete with body-colored wheels and...
Classic YouTube: Mustang Vs. Camaro, 1994, Courtesy Of Motorweek!
Welcome to my “dammit, I’m getting old” moment, right here. In 1994 I was eleven years old, one year away from the rot-box Camaro that would be my first car, and happily tooling...
Rough Start: 1980 Ford Fairmont Futura – Light And Rowdy Street Beater
The Ford Fairmont Futura (and it’s twin, the Mercury Zephyr Z-7), are love-it or hate-it cars. From the doors forward, it’s Fairmont. But from the doors back, you are looking at what was...
MFP LSR: Charlie Richardson’s 1974 Ford Maverick Street Stock Racer
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I pulled into Blytheville. I wasn’t expecting to find the remains of an Air Force base that had been decommissioned in 1992. I wasn’t expecting to...
So Wrong It’s Right: 1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 In Period-Correct Attire
