The Most Expensive Ford Mustangs Ever Sold at Auction: From its earliest days over six decades ago, the Ford Mustang was about style and speed at an accessible price. Over 10 million cars (and counting) later, and that’s still what the Mustang is all about, from new ones in the showroom to countless weekend classics. Not all Mustangs, however, are for the masses. Some, with the right kind of history and configuration, get collectors clamoring. Here are the most expensive ones to ever cross an auction block … https://lnkd.in/eVjf4iah (photo credit: Mecum)

Top 10 Greatest American Cars of All Time: These are the automobiles that made an indelible impact on how we move. No, America didn't invent the automobile. That honor goes to German engineer Karl Benz and his Patent Motorwagen of 1886. But America quickly made the automobile its own. By 1904 the United States led the world in automobile sales and production, and by 1913, some 80 percent of all the cars made in the world were made here in the U.S. American automakers — there were 253 of them active in 1908 alone — were pioneering new technologies and new vehicles at an astonishing rate. You can define greatness is many ways, but these are all automobiles that were hugely influential in terms of their technology, design, engineering, and their impact on society and popular culture here and around the world. These are the machines that fundamentally changed how we moved … https://lnkd.in/eSK-H2KP (photo credit: MotorTrend)

Man Steals 2025 Ford Mustang GT at Gunpoint During Test Drive, Leaves Driver's License Behind: The suspect reportedly only had about 90 minutes with the muscle car before authorities found him and placed him under arrest. A Texas man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a brand-new 2025 Ford Mustang GT in the middle of a test drive.

Highest Horsepower Engine Ever Put In Ford Mustang From Factory: When one considers the haste with which the original 1964.5 Ford Mustang was cobbled together from the boxy Ford Falcon, its status as an automotive icon is even more impressive. That's not to say that there weren't some rough patches, though, like the Pinto-based Mustang II that occupied the Malaise-era 1970s. Initially, the Mustang II wasn't available with any V8 power, period. When Ford corrected their grievous error the following year, it was in the form of an optional 302 cubic inch (5.0-liter in metric terms) V8 that made a pathetic 140 horsepower. Paraphrasing Jeremy Clarkson, how do they get so little power out of such a (relatively) large engine? At the other end of the spectrum, what's the most horsepower that the blue oval brand has ever stuffed under the hood of its pony car? Of course, it's the Nürburgring-crushing 2025 Ford Mustang GTD. Gearheads first became aware of these, 815 horsepower supercharged beast back in 2023, and it appears that lucky owners will finally begin taking delivery soon … https://lnkd.in/eHj8FnhT (photo credit: Ford)

Pinnacle Ponies: 10 of the Coolest Ford Mustangs Ever Built: Since the first Ford Mustang debuted in 1964, it’s made a name for itself as thrilling all-American fun. Over the course of history, American muscle has come in a ton of different flavors, but perhaps one of the most longstanding and iconic is the Ford Mustang. Introduced at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the Mustang was an immediate sales hit thanks to its affordable price and great looks. More than six decades later, Ford has produced countless Mustang models and variants, each unique and distinct. What’s fascinating is they haven’t always adhered to a consistent formula, but the execution has always been the same: to give much higher-dollar and more exotic sports cars a run for their money. That’s what we call a democratization of performance and power. Below, we’ve made the difficult choice of narrowing down our favorite Mustangs to the 10 listed in chronological order.
