The all-new Mustang GT of the Ford Motor Co. is radiating a different charm to pull its sales up in the convertible season.

To some enthusiasts the purchase was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. That is how Katy Long of Novi, Mich., ended up purchasing the new Mustang. “I have always wanted a convertible, that’s absolutely what it is,” says the 26-year-old automotive lease renewal specialist, who took delivery of her dark grey Mustang GT from Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor, Mich., recently. “I wanted to make the best of the upcoming spring and summer, so I decided to make the move and I’m thrilled with it.”

It is convertible season once again and this time of the year gives Mustang the edge to attract and turn enthusiasts into buyers. Open air driving gives off a satisfying sense of adventure. And that sense of adventure lets enthusiasts grab Mustang’s door handle to eventually enjoy a free-spirited ride.

“In many markets, customers are emerging from the thaw and have a renewed interest in life and convertibles,” said George Pipas, the Ford manager for U.S. Sales Analysis and Reporting. “Springtime has always been a part of Mustang’s magic since it was introduced in April of 1964.” Pipas said when it comes to Mustang convertible sales, the so-called “spring selling season” actually extends well into the month of August.

“That six-month period (March through August) represents more than two-thirds of Mustang convertible sales,” Pipas noted. “Roughly one in every four Mustangs we sell is a convertible, and that is essentially the case, year in and year out.”

To some states, the convertible season lasts most of the year. This fact is confirmed by Galpin Ford in North Hills, Calif. The dealership, the leading Ford dealer in Mustang sales, has allotted a part of its showroom for the pony car alone. “We had talked about doing something special with Mustang for a while,” said Al Joseph, the Galpin sales manager. “Arguably, this most recent redesign (2005 model year) has been one of the most successful Mustangs ever. I think it resonated with Mustang buyers in a way that we haven’t seen since the first time it was introduced.”

“A large part of the Mustang mystique is its consistency over time,” said Robert Parker, the Ford Division car marketing manager. “Great brands that deliver a consistent message over a long period of time are the ones that become the most iconic. One could argue it (Mustang) is among the strongest brands in the world, as it relates to automotive.”

“We’re moving into our third full year with this current body style and we’ve been able to maintain Mustang’s sales momentum,” said Dan Geist, the Mustang marketing manager. Geist added one way Ford is keeping Mustang relevant is through the introduction of special-edition models, like the 2007 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500, dubbed as the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history. Geist concluded, “In fact, Mustang is the only one of the original vintage sports cars from the 1960s that lives on into the 21st century with no interruption in production.”

I have a 1995 manual 5-speed Ford Mustang and I was wondering how I could make it overall faster for cheap? By cheap I mean less than $400 a part.

The most powerful Ford Mustang ever to be created is the new 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby Gt500KR. Fittingly, this supercharged car is the new K.I.T.T. or Knight Industries Three Thousand for the highly anticipated Knight Rider TV series. The producers of the show couldn’t have made a better choice in this TV series update of the 80’s classic.

The Ford Mustang remains to be one of the greatest automobile success stories of all time. With its famous powerful engine that the Mustang is known for, almost half of American sports car owners have a Mustang. The Ford Mustang is basically the icon for American muscle and sheer power, named after a steed that resembles such characteristics.

The 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR is the most powerful Mustang ever produced. It packs a 540-horsepower 5.4 liter supercharged V8 engine along with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack. It also sports excellent suspension tuning, carbon composite hood, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a special design which drew inspiration from classic Shelby Mustangs. Its exterior is complete with special striping in celebration of the Mustang’s 40th anniversary.

The interiors of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR has a sporty look and feel to entice most racing enthusiasts and even casual car owners. The digital LED display in the front looks spectacular along with other instrumentation display icons. The black racing-inspired seats are perfect for the Mustang’s rugged and powerful persona.

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.77 seconds. It can travel a fourth of a mile within 3.87 seconds. Even with its 3500-pound frame it can still achieve such results. It has a titanium and aluminum body with a front engine on-demand all wheel drive chassis. Its V8 internal combustion engine is equipped with a Whipple supercharger for added boost.

Further specs of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR are available in certified Mustang dealers near you. You can also view full specifications of this super car online. Take note that the real specs of this car and the specs used in the TV series are quite different.

In the new TV series Knight Rider, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR is the new Knight Industries Three Thousand which replaced the Knight Industries Two Thousand. The new KITT also has features that are quite similar to the old KITT in the series. However, many years have passed since the last Knight Rider series and much have changed in terms of the power and design of the car.

The new KITT features a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR which is packed with a 550-horsepower solar hybrid engine, sports suspension, metallic paint with nanotechnology camouflage system, morphing license plate, Xenon headlamps with night vision, self-regenerating armor plating, high speed internet connection, voice activated GPS, military satellite access, biomedical scanner, remote access, and other high tech features and gadgetry. The TV series reprises the role of KITT as the most advanced car in the world and nothing else comes close to the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR in the real world standards.

Modded Mustangs asked:


The Ford Mustang is one of the most popular sports cars in America, with that comes a high demand for used Mustangs. Buying a new Mustang is as easy as choosing your options and driving off, however purchasing a used Mustang requires a great deal of care. Choosing the wrong car could cost you thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs.

As with any sports car, Ford Mustangs are often driven hard. With abuse comes the need for maintenance. If proper maintenance is not followed, your new ponycar will likely become a money pit. Fear not, tips for finding potential problems are just a couple paragraphs away.

Another cause for concern is the installation of aftermarket parts. Many Mustang owners install performance parts, often times performed by owners inexperienced in the field of automotive repair. These aftermarket parts may not only be hard on other vehicle parts, but they may also void the factory warranty.

Before purchasing your Mustang, be certain to inspect the vehicle thoroughly – especially the drivetrain. If you’re not qualified to properly diagnose engine, transmission, rearend, or other potential problems you should take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic. You don’t want to have a wore out rear end, it’s no fun especially when your friends find out.

Some of the common symptoms of an abused Mustang include rattles and squeeks in the suspension, grinding gears in a 5 speed, and a noisy engine or drivetrain. Be certain to check for tire tread, especially the rear tires. Mustang owners like to do hellacious burnouts with no respect to the tire manufacturers hard work.

Good luck with your Mustang purchase. These ponycars can be fast and reliable with proper care. Be certain you’re getting the value and performance per dollar you expect and make an educated buying decision.

Whatever brand, model, make or year of manufacture identifies one’s car with; a car cover is needed to protect it from various factors causing collective harm to the vehicle’s interior or exterior.

Even the trees shed their sap on the vehicle’s shiny top. However, the good news is that the damage can be controlled to protect the automobile from the ravages as stated above.
