In a theater near you on December 14th, look for a Ford Shelby GT500 tearing up the streets of New York City in I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. It’s yet another notch in Ford’s belt for building it’s brand in Movies, the new “commercial” of sorts. In addition to the Mustang, Ford also landed cameo roles for the Escape Hybrid and the Expedition - though it’s the GT500 owning the roads.

Remeber the famous Giugiaro Mustang Concept from back in 2006? While it’s pretty old news at this point, it’s actually quite important as it clued the world in on Ford’s determination to bring Mustang enthusiasts something new and exciting by 2010. Whether or not the next generation ponycar has an Italian flare is still open for debate, however one thing isn’t - Fabrizio Giugiaro can’t drive.

What do you get when you cross a… remember those jokes? Well this one isn’t a joke and, in this case, John Haugh of Cleveland, Ohio wrote it. The Tractorri Lamborghini Mustang , as he calls it, was built by combining a V-10 powered Lamborghini Gallardo and a Mustang GT. This is, quite obviously, not your typical Modded Mustang.

Having a Mustang is great, but for some having a convertible Mustang is even better. With the wind blowing on your face and the feel of the open road it makes everything more exciting.

I’d like to jump right into the new 2008 Twister Mustang Special’s but first we need a history lesson about these little known cars. The “Twister” Mustang were 1970 and 1985 special editions that were built for, and sold exclusively by, dealers within Ford’s Kansas City District Sales Office. There were 96 1970 Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special’s and 90 1985 Mustang GT Twister II’s built, along with some Torino Cobra’s and Ranchero’s.
