If you’re a Dodge fan then this may just be the perfect little car for you. This is a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport that would make the perfect starter MOPAR for those looking to get into the hobby. The recipient of a recent repaint in its original B5 blue, this Dart sports a 340 cu.in. V8, 904 transmission and an 8 3/4 rear-end with brand new 3.73 gears. A new vinyl top was also installed, along with a stripe kit, rear deck lid spoiler and hood scoop. The engine bay and interior look to be in meticulous condition thus giving this old Dart Sport some very serious curb appeal. The starting bid stands at $16,700.00, which may seem high. However I can assure you that it would be almost impossible to put something like this together for under that price point.

Back in the 1980′s and 1990′s law enforcement agencies throughout the United States used the Ford Mustang as their high speed pursuit vehicle. It was quick, agile and relatively light weight, thus giving the police a bit of an advantage over your standard speeder. Now, thanks to this gentlemen who is simply named Mr. Blue, you’ll learn everything you ever wanted to know about these old school bad-asses.

Every now and then Ford pulls some magic out of that blue oval hat of theirs. I mean it’s no secret that they’ve got the ability to make wonderful cars, but when you’re main job is to pump out Fusions and Fiestas all day (great cars in their own right), it’s sometimes hard to build what you really want. Back in 2000 though the guys at SVT pumped out a Mustang that to this day, is still one of the coolest production track rats ever made. This is the Mustang Cobra R and until the BOSS 302 Laguna Seca was released in 2012, this Cobra R WAS the baddest Mustang you could buy. Hell, even buy today’s standards this sucker is a rock star. It pumps out 385 hp / 385 lb.ft. of torque, pulled over 1.0g on the skid pad, got to 60 mph in under 5.0 seconds and also came equipped with an independent rear suspension and Brembo brakes. The one you are viewing here is currently for sale on eBay where the current bid is $33,100.00. With only 500 miles on the odometer you can bet the price will only get higher as the bidding goes on as it’s one of the nicest examples I’ve seen to date.

If you’re an American male and you’ve never owned a Ford Mustang then you’re missing out on one of the great joys of motoring. This is a hooligan car plain and simple. With a big honkin’ V8 up front and solid live axle out back, the Mustang is one of those cars that can make any driver feel like a superhero. That is of course, until you crash it, which unfortunately is something that happens quite often.

Now here’s a car that could be just at home at the drag strip as it could be parked in your Grandmothers driveway. This is a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX that’s equipped with a 426 HEMI V8. It’s one of the best “sleeper” cars we’ve seen to date and we’d imagine that it would be a downright weapon in the right hands. From a stylistic perspective the 1967 GTX was never really much of a looker, which in this case lends to the cars overall appeal. Options include a 727 TorqueFlite transmission, bucket seats with center console and of course the 426 HEMI. Believed to have been sold new in Texas and with 94,745 miles showing on the odometer, this old Belvedere is one of the coolest old rides we’ve seen in quite some time.

PRO’s: 662 hp / 631 lb.ft. of torque, all day burnouts and power-slides, the perma-grin it puts on your face every time you drive it.

CON’s: Fuel economy, severe lack of traction, super stiff suspension in sport mode.

FINAL THOUGHT: I fear the 2013 Shelby GT500 is the last of the true muscle cars. Yes things must evolve (IRS rear, coil over suspension, etc..) but I’m glad Ford just said “F*CK IT” and built this thing anyway.

Balls, brawn and f*ck you; the three key ingredients that make up the 2013 Shelby GT500. Over the years Shelby Mustangs have gone through various configurations. When first released back in 1966, the GT 350 was a full-on performance car with a take-no-prisoners attitude and the grunt to back it up. However by the time the 1969-70 models came out, the trend had moved from full-on performance to more personal luxury. The same can be said for those models introduced from 2007 all the way up to 2010. Yes they were fast, and yes they had power, but in the end there was always something missing from the formula.

Enter the 2013 Shelby GT500, a car that grabbed some DNA from the original ’66 GT350 and then shot it up with an overdose of steroids thanks to the boys from SVT.

Customized automobiles are a dime a dozen here in the United States. Builders create, innovate and constantly strive to come up with new and original ideas. To do this though requires skill, patience and of course a dedicated vision. Bodie Stroud owns a hot-rod shop in Los Angeles, CA and is considered to be one of the best in the business. Therefore it’s no surprise that people took notice when he unveiled this classic 1969 Mustang at last years SEMA show. With an engine that was built for none other than Mario Andretti, and looks meant to inspire, Stroud was able to take an already beautiful machine and make it even better.

It was conceived by Edsel Ford to commemorate the United States’ participation in the 1972 Summer Olympics and was only built for the 1972 model year. It sports a Mach 1 grille, color-keyed body accessories, color-keyed interior, and patriotic stripes and decals. The rear is a peg-leg Ford 9″, the engine a 351 Cleveland Cobra Jet producing 266 hp and 301 lb-ft of torque through a C6 automatic transmission. This is the 1972 Ford Mustang Sprint Edition and in total only 9,383 Sportroofs, coupes and convertibles were produced making this an extremely rare car. Performance numbers were also good for the time especially when equipped with the 351 Cobra Jet. 60 mph came up in around 7-seconds with the quarter mile being run in just over 15 seconds. The car you see here is currently for sale on eBay and is one of the nicest examples we’ve ever seen. The seller has also provided a pretty good video about the car, so make sure to click through and check it out.

Sometimes it takes time, but as an adult you begin to realize certain things. For instance and contrary to popular belief, money does buy happiness. Awesome things take place in the champagne room (if you let them), and drag racing must be done by the professionals, not by some nimrod with a big wallet. What you are about to see is a 2013 Mustang Cobra Jet. It’s one of 50 made by Ford for the 2013 model year, comes with 690-hp and a HOLY SH*T price tag of $93,000, not a cheap car by any means. Therefore it pains us to bring you the news that there are now only 49 of these amazing machines left. Click through to find out why.

PRO’s: Great power, interesting options thanks to the “California Special” package, outstanding 5.0-liter engine.

CON’s: High rear spoiler, soft suspension, lazy automatic transmission.

FINAL THOUGHT: An expensive Mustang that hides its true potential with body makeup and funky interior gimmicks.

Over the past few months I’ve been inundated with new Ford Mustangs. I’ve had a 2013 V6 Performance Pack, a track pack equipped 2013 GT Base and just recently, a 2013 Mustang GT California Special. There hasn’t been one Mustang that’s been “better” than the other in as much as each one has appealed to a different audience. You see while most cars have just one market segment in mind, the Mustang is one of the few automobiles that appeals to just about everyone.
