Ford’s epic Mustang came at a time when automotive cheer was at an all-time high. Gas prices were relatively low, automakers were churning out exciting models with excellent performance, V8s dominated the market, and bigger was considered better. Then came the Malaise Era of the seventies. With high gas prices and tightening emission regulations, automakers scrambled to cope. Ford, in particular, faced a challenge, as the Mustang needed a comprehensive do-over. Hence, they debuted the second generation, also called the Mustang II n 1974. Sitting on a smaller platform, the Mustang II was over 400 pounds lighter than the first-generation Mustang, as well as a foot and a half shorter. It was available as a coupe or a hatchback.

The fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150 was introduced in 2021, and remains the current one on sale. There are several variants, including the Raptor and Lightning, but this particular truck is a little different. You see, it’s a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby which, as the last part of its name suggests, has received tuning by Shelby American, the company founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby. Yes, Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to other Ford models, and after his demise, the company continues that fine legacy. So, just how potent is this machine? Well, how does 950 horsepower grab you? We’d say that it grabs you very strongly indeed. If you’d like to own this fearsome beast, it’s up for sale in Torrance with a mere 47,521 miles on it so far.
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
In 2005, Ford revealed the all-new fifth generation Mustang to the public. This was a significant moment, because the fourth generation was really old in the tooth. It would sit on a totally new platform, and have styling that harked back to the original first-generation as well. The fifth generation also marked the return of the Shelby Mustang. This fine association was prevalent in the first generation, when Carroll Shelby’s outfit tuned Mustangs to become thoroughbred racehorses! In 2007, the Shelby GT500 for the fifth generation was released, and we have an under 10,000-mile example for sale now. This car comes with the original window sticker too, making it a definite must-have for the discerning collector, or someone who wants a relatively rare Mustang to enjoy.
