From his early automotive days spent race preparing his personal cars, to his inevitable entrance into the professional racing world, and finally into the domain of the automotive business, automotive icon Steve Saleen has done it all. Steve set the course for his automotive future in his first race on August 19th, 1973 at Riverside International Raceway, where he took his GT350 to the winners circle, and he never looked back.

Steve and his vehicles have dominated the competition wherever they raced around the world, having won nine championships, countless races and set track records from Daytona to Le Mans and every track in between. And Steve is still racing, he is currently testing one of the two European Le Mans Series Championship winning S7Rs in preparation for his return to competition in the American Le Mans Series later this year.

For 25 years, Steve Saleen has been the leading pioneer in lifestyle performance automobiles, with his companies building an amazing array of high performance, sports, race and collector cars that are coveted by enthusiasts and celebrities alike from Tim Allen to Tom Cruise.

2008 Obsidian SG-One Ford Mustang

(from Obsidian Press Information) What would you build if you had finances without limitations, a love for classic Mustangs and a passion for hot rodding? Forget everything you know and believe about classic Mustangs because were talking about something that's never existed before. Something that says, You've achieved the highest levels success and perfectly reflects who you are. It must exceed the wildest dreams of even the most discerning enthusiast without disappointment or delay. It must redefine the standards by which all others are judged.

All of this requires the finest coach level craftsmanship, ingenious engineering, seamless integration of only the best components and several years to complete. So, we proudly introduce you to the Obsidian SG-One Mustang.

Classic styling meticulously blended with sophisticated technology. A Twin supercharged and intercooled EFI engine with more horsepower than any factory Shelby Mustang , a new Corvette ZR-1 or a new Dodge Viper. They'll know you're coming with the beautiful but subtle supercharger whine, a camshaft idle you'll love and a muscular exhaust sound thats not too loud on the inside yet intimidating on the outside. A fully integrated tube chassis with roll bar easily handles the power while a NASCAR style belly pan provides high speed aerodynamics.

The body has been extended 7 over stock to comfortably sit virtually anyone up to 7 feet tall. Formula One style paddle shifters enable lightning fast and consistent gear changes. Enormous Brembo four wheel disc brakes with hydro boost provide fade-free stopping power in a hurry. A fully adjustable coil over suspension system is tuned for carving out corners while providing excellent ride characteristics. A performance rack and pinion steering system gives the utmost in road feel and goes precisely where you point it. Custom 18 front and 20 rear aluminum wheels and BF Goodrich KDW tires provide a nose down appearance with superior dry and wet weather traction and razor sharp handling and braking.

Powerful, graceful and elegant, she's one of a kind. In fact, there's only one available and it will never be reproduced. That should come as no surprise though. After all, its just like you are: in a class all by itself. We suggest acquiring the Obsidian SG-One now before its gone!

2008 Ford Mustang Review

What's New for 2008
More features are added to the 2008 Ford Mustang. This includes standard front seat side airbags, available xenon headlights and, for the V6 models, 18-inch alloy wheels. Those who have a thing for pink should be thrilled with the new Warriors in Pink package that provides their ride with that color's accents inside and out. Sales of this package also help support the Susan G. Komen cancer charity.

Introduction
Man O' War, Sea Biscuit, Secretariat. Along with those legendary thoroughbreds, one might include another steed famous for thrilling its fans for nearly half a century: the Ford Mustang. Through the decades, the Mustang has survived oil crises, ever-tougher emissions standards, corporate shake-ups and Americans' diminished interest in sporty coupes thanks to an infatuation with SUVs and pickup trucks. While other so-called pony car rivals have been sent to the glue factory, the original has gotten stronger and more popular.

Most recently, the Mustang's major redesign in 2005 resulted in head-spinning styling that had both old- and new-school car enthusiasts stampeding to their local dealers. Inspired by the 1965-'69 Mustangs, the current car stands out thanks to its big grille, round headlights, side sculpting, tri-bar taillights and, on the coupe, triangular quarter windows and fastback roof.

True, the 2008 Ford Mustang is lacking a bit in refinement compared to competitors such as the Nissan 350Z and Mazda RX-8. But the Mustang's style, available V8 power, respectable handling and affordable price more than make up for it. It's a recipe that obviously resonates with Americans, as it is the best-selling rear-drive sport coupe and convertible by a considerable margin. Even as Chevy and Dodge get set to re-enter the muscle car game, there's no doubt the Ford Mustang will remain a truly a legendary thoroughbred.

1964 12 Ford Mustang Convertible struts off with a $5 million tag

Ushering in 2008, I’m sure we’ll have more news of stuff worth millions and billions. Ford Mustang Convertible was sold for $5,500,000. It is whispered to be the first ever Mustang Convertible to roll off the production line and also the first ever Mustang sold for that price tag. The car carries a build date of March 9, 1964 - the first day that the fabled pony car rolled down the Rouge assembly line.

Furthermore, the car was delivered on the evening of April 16, 1964 - the night before Mustang sales were supposed to begin across the country. Documentation is included that verifies the vehicle's status.

And if all that money at one shot seems to be a bit difficult on your finances then it can also be added to your collection for $42,064.26, but that is only a monthly payment with $1,000,000 down. That too seems steep for my pockets!

2009 Ford Mustang

Ford will continue the relentless march of new Mustang variants in 2009 with a new glass-roofed edition of the Mustang that clearly bridges the gap between the current Mustang hardtop and convertible.

In 2009 - its 45th year on the market - the Mustang will come in V-6 and GT editions once more, and both will offer the glass roof as a $1995 option.

Ford cites research showing longer commute times and higher percentages of sunroof installations as its inspiration for the Porsche-like roof - that, and the data point J.D. Power reports, which has 62 percent of sportscar buyers interested in a sunroof.

The glass itself is tinted for privacy, and can cut UV in the cabin enough to cool the 'Stang 50 percent quicker than non-tinted glass. A sunshade is built into the roof for sun-scared drivers. Structurally, the glass roof mounts in a frame that's based on the coupe Mustang. And the glass-roof coupes will be built alongside both the hardtop and convertible in Flat Rock, Mich.

Ford also will sell the new $31,075, 315-hp Bullitt Mustang and the Shelby GT500KR in 2009. The Shelby edition packs in 540 horsepower and is limited to 1000 copies.

2008 Ford Shelby GT Convertible

Ford is releasing another Mustang variant!
To be honest, we’re as shocked as you are. In the wake of the several thousand new and unique Mustang trims Ford has released in the past few weeks, who would have expected another?

Yet here it is: the 2008 Ford Shelby GT convertible. That’s right, the Shelby GT coupe—which is based on the Shelby GT-H Hertz rental car, which is based on the regular Mustang GT, which is based on the regular Mustang—is losing its lid.

Ford says it will aim to limit production of the new droptop to just 2300 units, although that number surely can be revised upward if demand warrants. Like the coupe on which it’s based, the Shelby GT convertible is hopped up from a more pedestrian Mustang GT convertible through the use of a number of Ford Racing bolt-ons.

McQueen's Ford Mustang

Ford is due to unveil its special edition Mustang at next week's Los Angeles motor show.

Designed to commemorate Steve McQueen's legendary turn in the 1968 movie Bullitt, this dark highland green version boasts a 4.6-litre V8 that kicks out 315bhp - 15 more than the regular one - as well as chassis, suspension and brake upgrades.

It also features some other very cool touches, including a Bullitt filler cap and debadged grill, just like police detective Frank Bullitt's original.

The exhaust note has even been modelled on the sound heard in the movie, from a specially mastered DVD.

7,700 will be produced, starting early in 2008.

Mitsuoka's Mesmerizing Yet Mystifying Mustang

TOKYO — Mitsuoka is known best as a tuner of a variety of Nissan-based vehicles, which from a great distance and with a lot of imagination could be viewed as Jaguar look-alikes. Now the tuner's attention has turned to a rather different kind of donor: the Ford Mustang.

Underneath this bizarre-looking convertible — which puts one in mind of a 1960s-era Rolls-Royce in front and a 1980s Cadillac at the rear — lurks a bog-standard Ford Mustang. One look at the interior gives the game away, but it seems the Japanese master body builder has raised the level of kitsch several notches.

A top-spec Galue convertible is priced at the equivalent of $64,500. Mitsuoka is certified as a car manufacturer, so the price is for a turnkey model, ready to be driven.
