This car was awesome. It took my breath away the minute I turned the corner and saw it down the street. Has a 427 Stroker engine and a 6 speed transmission. It was the winner of the 2008 National Roadster Show.
The earsplitting rumble of this baby pretty much blew everyone to the end of the block…

The Cool Cruise Car show in La Verne, California was SO MUCH FUN. There were several gorgeous Mustangs and we got photos of them all. We me some very interesting people, such as The San Gabriel Valley California Mustang Club – WONDERFUL people with HOT MUSTANGS, a fellow who was chosen by Ford to test drive the Mustang prior to it’s release, and many other enthusiasts who really know their stuff and have spent years and a lot of money on preserving and restoring their Mustangs. Here are some pics.
Here is the Mustang Madam Mustang – 1965 Red and Black Coupe,
These are the cars that belong to some of the members of the San Gabriel Valley Mustang Club owners. One of the Mustangs had its ORIGINAL OWNER sitting right beside it. Here is a photo of me with some of the club members.
Here are their Mustangs:
A gorgeous cobalt blue 1965 Mustang…
Here are some AWESOME 1965 Mustang Fastbacks and Convertibles…
This was a SEXY 1967 Black Bullitt Fastback…
Here are three of the San Gabriel Valley Mustang Club Mustangs in a row…
I have to go take my horse Diablo out, but when I get back I will be reporting on the other Mustangs at the Car show this weekend.

This week at the New York Auto Show today, Saleen Automotive announced its new partnership with racing legend, STUD, Dan Gurney. I say stud because he has amazing credentials that “legend” doesn’t cover. Dan Gurney ( born April 13th, 1931 – his birthday is coming up) has been a driver, a car manufacturer, and a team owner at racing’s highest levels since 1958. He is one of only four US-born to win a Formula One Grand Prix, and the only one to win in a car of his own manufacture.
Gurney also won races in the Indy Car, NASCAR, CAN AM and Trans Am Series. Gurney is the first driver to win races in Formula One (1962), NASCAR (1963), and Indy Car (1967). The other two are Mario Andretti and Juan Pablo Montoya. He also won the 24 hour Leman – which impresses me even more.
Saleen and Dan Gurney are partnering to for the creation of a special Gurney Signature Edition Mustang.
”It is amazing that just two years ago Saleen was standing on stage here at the Javitz Center with Parnelli Jones and today we are with his long time rival and friend, and truthfully one of America’s racing heroes, Mr. Dan Gurney,” said Saleen President and CEO Paul Wilbur.
All 300 of the Gurney Signature Edition vehicles will feature Saleen’s 465 Hp supercharged 281 cubic inch engine, short throw shifter, and 3.73 Max Grip rear axle. In addition, the vehicles will have bitchin’ custom two-tone seats – the kind that hug your thighs and keep you in place behind the wheel. I like.
The late model Mustangs are looking better and better – as they PULL IN MORE ELEMENTS FROM THE PAST. One day very soon I feel FORD is about to admit that they never should have never left the body styles from the first 15 years. The body of this new car looks like Dan’s 1969 Trans Am series Mustang. “I am pleased that they could make a car that is so beautiful but still so true to my old race car. At the end of the day, all I really want is a car that is faster than Parnelli’s” said racing great, Dan Gurney.”

In my blog “ Fighting over Eleanor” I mentioned the company “ Unique Performance” a vehicle customizer based in Dallas Texas, which recreated 1960s-style Shelby Mustangs using the bodies of old “donor” Mustangs and charging $119,000 to $214,000 per car… and didn’t deliver the goods.
They were raided by police on November 6th 2007, and Carroll Shelby had long since severed his licensing tie.
They confiscated cars under suspicion of title washing. Naughty boys! What a bummer too, because they had a killer idea it could have been incredible.
The car bodies and possessions of Unique Performance are now up for auction. So anyone who might have gotten let down by a U.P. deal can now get bargain BASEMENT prices!
Unique Performance, Bankruptcy Case #07-35628-HDH-7, 3.27.2008 - Bidding starts Friday, March 21st, 2008, 5 PM (CST) Ends Thursday, March 27th, 2008 @ 10:00 AM (CDT

When I look at these Mustang shells, I almost get emotional because I imagine the possibilities. The idea of creating your own car is stimulating.
