1968 "Shelby-ized" Mustang Fastback,
First of all, this is a true
GT... NOT a clone. This bright-orange, ’68
Mustang has been “Shelby-ized” by adding a front and
rear spoiler, and “Shelby-stripes”. It came stock
with a “390” motor and one 4-barrel carb. It now has
two 4-barrel carbs, courtesy of a 1963 Galaxy 500
manifold. The carbs are Holley “4548s”, flowing 450
CFM - each. The estimated horsepower is +/- 360. It
has all the desirable (at least in 1968) features –
It's a true "GT", with a 4-speed tranny, Big Block
390 FE engine, 9 inch Ford “posi” rear end, front
disc brakes, fog lights in grille, black deluxe
interior with fold down rear seat, walnut steering
wheel, factory tachometer, center 4-speed console,
overhead console, and speaker grilles on the doors.
1968 Classic Red Mustang Fastback,
This 1968 Classic Mustang
Fastback is an immaculate, candy-apple red. The
model year "1968" was marked by two big changes,
First, the 427 and 428cid engines were an option in
the 68, - and federally mandated shoulder belts
were included as standard equipment. Cosmetically
the '68 sported a new look on the front. The
horizontal bar from the grille was gone; and added
was -- chrome trim around the grille opening. The
dual scoops on sides were replaced by a one-piece
chrome scoop. This 'Stang has a "302" Motor,
4-barrel carb, and a 4-speed tranny.
2001 Honda S-2000,
Honda broke into the traditional
sports car market with a decidedly un-Honda-like
two-seater. The S-2000 came equipped with a hot,
240-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine,
which "red-lines" at 9,000 RPM. It couples to a
tight, six-speed manual gearbox. The S2K was made
for performance and to reflect Honda's racing
heritage. Curiosities included a digital speedometer
and a red "Start-button" on the left of the dashboard,
rather than the usual key starter. Not only does the
S-2000 offer optimal 50/50 weight distribution, it
also features race-inspired, in-wheel suspension,
aimed at precise handling. Body styling makes use of
angular, chiseled forms, evolved from Honda's "SSM"
concept-car seen at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show.
Factory roll bars are installed behind the seats.
Standard equipment includes electric power steering,
all-disc antilock braking, leather upholstery, air
conditioning, power windows and locks,
high-intensity headlights, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
A stereo system with CD player is hidden behind a
retractable panel, low on the dashboard. A Torsen
limited-slip differential drives the rear wheels.
