Back in February 1964, one of the last prototypes of the #Mustang was specially prepared for the boss as his personal car

This late prototype was equipped with a one-off interior upholstered in Lincoln leather and one of the first K-code HiPo 289 cubic inch V8s especially for Henry Ford II.  He drove it as his personal car for the next year. A decade later Art Cairo lucked out and purchased it through a classified ad and has owned it for the past 39 years.

Let me offer a small piece of advice to my G+ followers, do not armor-all to the treads of your tires

Tire treads are not supposed to be shiny.  I would assume that the owner of this otherwise lovely 1967 +Ford Motor Company  #Mustang doesn't generally drive in the rain, but even on dry pavement, this is not good for traction. This is especially true if you have installed a more modern fuel injected 5.0-liter HO V8.

It's rare that really good racing movies come around, but it looks like we have 2 in the coming weeks

Between "Snake & Mongoose" and Rush, it's a great time for racing cinema. I've never been a fan of drag racing, but I developed tremendous respect for it when I tried my hand at several years ago. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/16/ford-racing-invitational-08-the-aftermath/

Snake & Mongoose
Given the hype, you’d think that Rush is the only 70’s-themed racing docudrama barreling toward multiplexes. You’d be wrong. Snake & Mongoose opens in limited release today. Sheila O’Malley reviews the film for R&T.
