Holley Intergalactic Ford Fest Short Take: The 2005 Mustang GT With War Wounds

Holley Intergalactic Ford Fest Short Take: 1984 Ford Mustang 20th Anniversary Dominator GT
Even if there hadn’t been a billboard in sight proclaiming what this 1984 Ford Mustang was all about, I could tell you that it was something special. And no, the “G.T. 350” stripes...
Holley’s Intergalactic Ford Fest Short Take: The Slammed Courier

That’s Not Supposed To Do That: This 13-second Ford Escort GT Is A Surprise For Anyone…Who Doesn’t See That Huge Intercooler!
To date, my best quarter-mile time is a 13.61 second pass, running a 2006 Ford Mustang GT in the cool nighttime air at the now-dead Speedworld strip in Arizona. Not too bad for a mostly stock Mustang...
Commuting Done Right: This Manual-Swapped Ford Crown Victoria Is A Budget Daily Build!

Vanlife: This Power Stroke-powered Ford E-Series 4×4 Is The Base To Your Base Camp!
