The phrase I use to describe stories like the one I put up recently about the possibility of a four-door Ford Mustang is “smacking the hornet’s nest”. It’s not a good...
Best of 2018: The 1967 Shelby “Little Red” Notchback GT500 – Factory Shelby Prototype!

Best of 2018: A 1983 Ford Thunderbird That Flies Far Under The Radar – 460, Five-Speed, 4.10s!

Best of 2018: An Inline-Eight Ford Tempo? That Happened! Check This Freak Out!
Why is a Ford Tempo on BangShift? It’s not a former drag car, or an old Pro Street build. It’s not one of our cheap-car race car ideas, and it certainly isn’t a Rough Start find....
The “WTF?” Files: This Nissan-Powered 1971 Ford Pinto Has Been Worked Over!
Have you ever seen the translation guide to phrases used to sell a car? Where “rare” means “none of these things lasted over ten years”, and “one careful owner”...
Unhinged: Driving The Last Of The Everyday Sedans As The Sun Sets On Them
If you believe all of the signs that are appearing, all of the words that auto journalists are spilling out, the manufacturers that have lost faith, and so on and so forth, we are seeing the end of...
GYMKHANA TEN: Ken Block’s Five-Location, Five-Machine Masterpiece
The cars: A World Rally Car Ford Fiesta, a Ford Focus RS RX, a 1991 Ford Escort RS Cosworth that replaced the car that burned after an accident at the New England Forest Rally back in July, the...
The “WTF?” Files: A Ford Pinto Ute? We’re Kind Of Digging This One!
A lesson for those who are not familiar with the Ford Pinto: they came in three body styles. One was a two door sedan with a trunk. One was a two-door station wagon. The third was a three-door...
Money No Object: 1971 Ford Galaxie 500 Wagon 429 Police Interceptor
Say “big-block station wagon” and you have our attention. And apparently yours, too, considering how many of you were all about the 1967 Impala 396 wagon that was in the budget build...
DIY Pro Stock: This 1992 Ford Probe Could Be Your Nostalgia Ride Come True!
Bicker and argue all you want about what era Pro Stock was truly best, but you have to admit that the last time it was good was the 1990s, when you had W.J. going up against Glidden, with the Wayne...
