2005 Mustang GT Convertible: In the Autoblog Garage Day 4
Autoblog, CA - Aug 25, 2005

There is another feature that is not often discussed that does have a certain level of novelty. The Mustang’s instrument panel color can be customized by the driver using this “MyColor” feature. It too is accessed through the trip computer/information screen in the right hand instrument pod, underneath the speedometer. The color is only applied when the parking or head lights are on, meaning that any custom settings do not affect your typical daytime reflective white letter on black background color scheme. The color can be altered by changing the values for red, green, or blue to create any number of shades. It was a novelty to show off, but it does take time to get into the screen to change. I just leave it on a shade of yellow to match the car, but this feature reminds me of Need for Speed: Underground 2 for some strange reason.

Russo & Steele at Monterey 2005
Classic Driver, UK - Jul 28, 2005 Scottsdale-based American auctioneers Russo & Steele will be selling two significant ex-Shelby Cobras at their 2005 Monterey Sale, and one of them is really unique - the 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra Type 65 Daytona ‘Super Coupé’.

The other ex-Shelby Cobra is a roadster, chassis CSX2138, that was one of three 1963 competition Cobras raced by Shelby American, and one of only eight 289 factory racers ever produced. It was built to Le Mans specifications, and originally raced with a hard top for the Shelby American team by Dave McDonald. It is one of two such cars remaining, and has an illustrious racing history, including Sebring and Nassau Island in 1964.

Texas Twister
Popular Hot Rodding Magazine - Aug 11, 2005 What’s the coolest thing about high-performance street machines? No rules! Build what you like, bolt on the parts that interest you the most, and mash the throttle. As far as themes go, the g-Machine or “Touring” build-style has certainly made its mark. These real road rockets are able to do everything well–accelerate, corner, and brake with equally impressive numbers. Being general enthusiasts, we at PHR are interested in all makes and models. However, that open-minded approach has shown us just how passionate each individual brand segment really is, and the diehard blue-blooded Ford fans never have allowed their voices to diminish.

From its pre-war Flathead to the mid-’60s Thunderbolts, FoMoCo fanatics can brag about the great evolution of performance this company has developed. Ford’s well-documented dedication to virtually each and every form of racing has clearly endeared this brand to its legions of loyal drivers. LeMans? Ford conquered it. Indianapolis? Been there, left its mark. NASCAR? History books overflow with FoMoCo
