The 2009 year will mark 45 years of uninterrupted (sorry couldn’t help it) production of the Ford Mustang and what other way to celebrate than a fancy new badge. The 2009 badge will appear only on the base model Ford Mustangs and be about 4 inches in height and width. The badges are rumored to made of lighter material in an effort to save weight on the already bloated 05+ Mustangs. Ok, I made that up. Check out the larger version after the fold.

Not even a week has passed since Ford released the price of the 2008 Shelby GT500KR and we already have a dealership in Houston, Texas marking it up. This time it’s not just a 10-20,000 dollar markup though. Try almost double the MSRP of $79,995. Now whether or not someone would be insane enough to buy it at that price and make a sleezy dealership an extra $70,000 is up in the air, though I’m willing to bet they lower the price in the end. The 2009 Shelby GT500KR has already been confirmed so it’s not like the person will be buying a last year model. Check it out on Ebay here: Overpriced 2008 Shelby GT500KR On Ebay.

I can’t repeat the word that came to mind when I saw the official price tag for the 2008 Shelby GT500KR. With many people expecting the price to fall in the high $50,000 to low $60,000 range, which to me is still way too much to pay for a 4,000 pound front end heavy Mustang, the official price from Ford was actually $79,995 which doesn’t include the $1,300 gas guzzling tax. With gas prices closing in on $4 a gallon for premium and in some places have already passed that mark, one has to wonder what Ford was thinking when they designed this car.

Ford Motor Company announced today it has built its 9 millionth Mustang. The GT Convertible Mustang is heading west to be delivered to a dealership in Iowa. The Ford Mustang, approaching its 45th anniversary on April 17th, 2009, is one of the most widely recognized vehicles in the world. Today, one of every two sports cars sold in America is a Ford Mustang. The Mustang is also Ford Motor Company’s longest-running nameplate. Mustang was introduced on April 17, 1964, at the New York World’s Fair.

You have to go out of your way to find information like this. New Zealand website Stuff.co.nz is reporting that Ford will be using a 5.0L engine in the 2010 Mustang. The news stems from Ford looking for a more fuel efficient engine for the popular Ford Falcon which currently sports a 5.4L V8. No word yet on what the specs of the new 5.0L engine will be but one can assume the specs will be over shadowed by the fact Mustang owners will once again be able to buy the famed 5.0L Mustang, even if it isn’t the old pushrod engine we have come to love.

With Ford’s recent release of their 2009 ordering guide, it looks like Ford Mustang enthusiasts will have to wait for the 2010 redesign before they see a new Special Edition Mustang from Ford. The 2009 year will see the Shelby GT500 and the 2008 Bullitt Mustang return in limited production with no changes of significance between the 2008 and 2009 years. All the 2009 Models with the exception of the 2009 Warriors In Pink Mustang will sport special 45th Anniversary Badges. Ford is offering one new package for 2009, a security package with active perimeter inclination & intrusion alarms along with a wheel locking kit.

Today Ford Motor Company announced that sales of the Ford Mustang were down 30.9% in March. Ford sold 14,737 Mustangs in March of 2007 compared to just 10,180 last month. Recent fears of a recession and high gas prices are no doubt probable causes in the sharp decline in sales, as the Auto industry as a whole is seeing sharp declines in sales. The current state of the economy is not making it any easier for Domestic Automakers such as Ford Motor Company to climb out of the deep whole that they have found themselves in recently.

For those of you that love the Discovery channels HD Theater as much as I do, you will be interested to know that they have just announced a three-part television series on the special Ford Mustang Challenge racing series that features the Ford Mustang FR500S race cars.

Ford Motor Co. said Wednesday it is recalling 470,000 Ford Mustangs from the 2005-2008 model years to recalibrate how forcefully the air bag deploys on the front passenger side of the car. Internal testing showed the air bag could injure a small, unbelted passenger, said Ford spokesman Wesley Sherwood. The recall was posted on the website of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Sherwood said the fix would address “a very rare scenario,” and there were no reports of injuries or accidents tied to the recall.

Automotive legend Carroll Shelby shares his 85th birthday with a new performance standout – the 540-horsepower 2008 GT500KR, which begins production today. The GT500KR or “King of the Road” Mustang is the fourth limited-edition Mustang that Shelby Automobiles and Ford have brought to market since resuming their collaboration in 2001.

What could be a huge oops for Ford, a video posted on their 2007 Year In Review page has what could possibly be the concept design for the new 2010 Mustang. At 1:31 in the video you can see in the background a Ford Mustang that doesn’t quite look like any of the current production Mustangs, most notably it has a different front fascia. I’ll let you be the judge on what you think it is. I’ve blown up 3 screen shots and added the video for you to check out after the fold.

Hot on the heels of the new Ford Bullitt Mustang and the new Shelby GT500KR, America’s favorite muscle car drives into its 45th anniversary year sporting a new factory-installed glass roof. The 2009 Ford Glass Roof Mustang provides a third roof option for customers and responds to their growing desire for more natural light. Production of large sunroofs has increased nearly 200 percent in North America since 2003, according to Just-auto. The growth is driven, in part, by consumers’ daily commute time. The number of consumers with commutes lasting more than 60 minutes grew by almost 50 percent between 1990 and 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Brenda Priddy has done a great job keeping up with the development of the 2010 Mustang. Unfortunately these new pictures do not give us much to see and only leaves us with more speculation on what will be changing in 2010. Our friends over at Modded Mustangs suggest a new front and rear fascia including grille, new headlamps and taillights along with a refresh of the interior. Ford is relying on the 2010 Mustang refresh to compete with the soon to be released Challenger and Camaro. We will keep you updated on any new developments.

Rumors and Mustangs are no stranger to each other. The latest being that the Roush BlackJack Mustang may be KITT in the new Knight Rider TV show, according to someone who has close ties with the current production of the pilot. The guys over at Jalopnik have a nifty little shop of the BlackJack Mustang made up to resemble KITT. Hell it looks good to us. They promise to keep digging deeper to see what they come up with. We’ll also be keeping our eye out on anything related to this as well. See the image after the fold.

Now that the 2008 year has received it’s specialty Mustang, the 2008 Bullitt Mustang, everyone is looking to 2009 and trying to guess what Ford will offer up to keep their promise of a Special Edition Mustang ever year for the next couple of years. The two hottest topics are the Boss Mustang and Mach 1 Mustang. The Mach 1 Mustang was recently revived in 2003 but only lasted 2 years before the new S197 platform was introduced. Now there are indications that the 2009 year will see the return of a Mach 1 Mustang.

The 1994-2004 V6 Mustangs have always had a strong aftermarket following with sites such as 3.8 Mustang and V6 Power providing great information on modifying the V6 Mustangs for more performance and appeal. Now Super Six Motorsports has developed a way to further expand the V6 Mustangs power by creating a M-112 Adapter for the 3.8 engine. The adapter will allow you to use any 2003 or 2004 Mustang Cobra blower on your V6. This also holds true for aftermarket Mustang Cobra blowers such as Whipple and Kenne Bell.

Ford has finally released information on what has become the most anticipated Special Edition Mustang of the S197 body style. The 2008 Bullitt Mustang weighs in at 315HP and 325TQ.

I got a pleasant surprise this morning when browsing through the Ford Media site. Ford has finally released the first image of the 2008 Bullitt Mustang. The image leaves a lot to the imagination but it’s the highest quality version of the 2008 Bullitt we have yet to receive. Ford tells us next month we will get even more information on the new Bullitt and get actual production pictures as it will be unveiled at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on Nov. 13. In the meantime check out the ultra high resolution image that has now found it’s home as my desktop background.

A group know for it’s extreme Right wing bias, the American Family Association (AFA), has taken credit for Ford Motor Company’s current sales slump due to their boycott against Ford for supporting the Gay community. The AFA demanded that Ford not only pull its advertising from gay-centric media outlets, but also ending the practice of offering domestic-partner benefits to same-sex couples. Ford ignored AFA’s requests which lead to the now 19 month boycott.

The Ford Mustang convertible, the best-selling convertible ever, is now the first specialty sports car in history to earn the highest possible safety ratings in all New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) test modes performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Ford has released a few pictures of a mule of the upcoming Shelby GT500KR (King of the Road). These pictures come after Carroll Shelby visted Ford’s Dearborn Proving Grounds (DDC) this past Friday and issued a correction to the actual horsepower of the GT500KR which is now estimated to be at 550, up from the 540 they announced in New York. As many of you may remember the same thing happened with the Shelby GT500 when it was being developed. The first horsepower estimates were 450+, then 475 and finally when released the actual horsepower rating was 500. With the Camaro coming out soon one can only figure early estimates released to the media will be in an effort to keep their competitors guessing.

Kelly Clarkson has built up quite the relationship with Ford after her successful stint with American Idol such as sporting a 2007 Shelby GT500 in one of her music videos. Now she is teaming up with Ford to help fight breast cancer by helping promote the Warriors in Pink initiative and the Special Edition Warriors in Pink Mustang which Ford hopes will raise more than half a million dollars through sales in addition to other fundraising efforts.

Information on the 2010 Mustang redesign has been scarce lately, however what is believed to be a 2010 Mustang test mule was spotted by Brenda Priddy, a photographer known for her spy photos of upcoming models from the various automotive manufactures.

Jack Kirby loves Budweiser and Mustangs. So when Budweiser announced it was holding a contest to win a 1965 Ford Mustang the Art & Design major thought he would put his education and the beer bottles purchased for the contest to use and set out on a mission to create a replica Ford Mustang out of 5,000 Budweiser cans.

Ford isn’t talking about this mysterious Mustang that was spotted outside of Detroit by Popular Mechanics. The Mustang features a red currently not offered by Ford on the S197 Mustangs, Bullitt style wheels with a chrome lip and to top it off a very stylish taped up center piece on the trunk. One has to wonder what else is different under the hood to deserve such special treatment. We’ll keep you posted if any new information surfaces. Pictures after the fold.

Information from Ford about the 2008 Bullitt Mustang has been leaked, whether on purpose or not, to Mustang Forums all across the net. The information contains specifics as to power increases, exterior/interior modifications and production numbers but doesn’t include a projected price. The power output is nothing to get excited over with an expected 312HP. The car will also get the obvious exterior and interior modifications to give it the Bullitt feel along with improved suspension. All Bullitts will ship with 3.73 gears, X-Pipe and 18″ Bullitt Style wheels. So far there have been no official pictures released. Check out the complete list after the jump.

Mustang, the new fragrance for men will launch in July 2007 to retailers nationwide and rollout to mass merchandisers and chain drug stores in August 2007.

The Detroit News has obtained an internal document from Ford that gives mention to trimming back on the amount of options available to not only the Mustang but all other Ford vehicles in an attempt to avoid customer confusion when ordering a Ford Vehicle. For example, there are currently 16,000 buildable combinations of options and colors offered on the 2007 Ford Mustang V-6 deluxe model. Using the 2008 year to get started on the cut back, the 2008 Mustang will only be available in 200 buildable combinations.

The Barrett-Jackson Auction and the Mustang have been in the news together a lot recently. The Roush BlackJack Mustang was recently sold at the auction along with a Shelby Mustang that broke a record for the highest auction amount for a Domestic car. Now the Ford Motor Company is going to use the Barrett Jackson Auction to unveil a new limited addition 500 production run Mustang on March 31, 2007. The Mustang will be unveiled live at the auction and the first model number , #001, will be sold with the proceeds going to the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. So what are your predictions on what car will be unveiled?

No doubt a part of Ford’s Bold Moves advertising campaign, these billboards depicting a blurred background with a running pony and the words “Mustang” below it are sure to grab your attention as you drive down the road. However whether or not you can make out what the point of it is and what they want you to buy is debatable. Some people don’t get that the blurred background, created by using a semi-transparent resin substance, is suppose to recreate the effect of speed you would feel driving a Mustang. On top of some people not understanding what it is the running pony is small and hard to notice for someone driving down the road. The point is to be able to get your point across quickly as drivers don’t have time to sit and examine a billboard to try to grasp the meaning of it. Regardless of whether this has any impact on consumers the blurred background is still pretty sweet. Check out the pictures below.

A little over 2 years ago the Ford Mustang was given it’s first major facelift since 1994 and 3 years from now Ford Mustang enthusiasts will be looking forward to another redesign of the current Mustang. This redesign has created much buzz on the internet with many supposed spy shots of the concepts that may give us a glance at what we can expect in 2010. That buzz has also been seen on our Mustang Forums within our 2010 Ford Mustang section with our members discussing things that they would like to see happen with the next Mustang design. Now I’d like to take the time to highlight ten things that I think would go a long ways to improving the 2010 Ford Mustang and increasing sales.

The 2007 Philadelphia International Auto Show rolls into the Pennsylvania Convention Center from February 3-11, 2007. This year’s show will have hundreds of concept, classic, luxury, new production, exotic vehicles and, for the third year in a row, a Tuner Car Salon. Produced and owned by the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia (ADAGP), the 2007 Philadelphia International Auto Show will feature more than 700 vehicles from more than 40 participating manufacturers from around the world. Among those making an appearance was the Shelby GT500 and the new Ford Reflex concept. Thanks to meteorachick for the pictures!

Regardless of what year the next generation Mustang makes it’s appearance, 2009 and 2010 being the most rumored, one thing is certain and that is the new Mustang is generating many spy shots and rumors for us Mustang Enthusiasts. The latest concept photos captured by KGP photography over at WindingRoad show some resemblance to the Giugiaro Mustang concept as pointed out in the photos below. We expect the next 3-4 months will see much more solid information coming out on the new Mustang design, especially if the redesign year is 2009.

Ford Motor Company today made clear that recent media speculation concerning an expanded Mustang line, including a sedan and wagon model to be sold in global markets, is not true. Mustang is an icon and will continue in its current form: a unique, two-door, rear-wheel drive, 2+2 performance car.

At the 2007 North American International Auto Show, Ford will unveil a four-door, rear-wheel-drive concept car. The concept, known as “The Interceptor”, is based on the Mustang’s rear-wheel-drive architecture but it is not a Mustang and no production plans have been announced. Additional information on the Ford rear-drive concept will be available December 31, 2006.

Quick, someone drug test Ford’s executives. Say what?!? They are clean? Then what else can explain AutoWeek’s upcoming article that is reporting Ford executives, in a private meeting during the fall, discussed bringing a Sedan and Wagon into the Mustang lineup? This isn’t the first time that we have heard rumors of a Mustang Wagon. A story that broke earlier on Mustangevolution featured a German magazine producing concept images of a 2010 Mustang Wagon. However, no one seemed to think nor want to believe that Ford was actually considering producing such a car and associate it with the Mustang name.

Ford Motor Company’s all-new 3.5-liter Duratec 35 V-6 engine has been named among “Ward’s 10 Best Engines” by Ward’s Auto World. The annual 10-best list was released Tuesday in Detroit and for the third consecutive year also included Ford’s 4.6-liter, 3-valve V-8. The Duratec engine is rumored to be used in the 2010 Mustang when it is up for a redesign.

“This is an exceptional accomplishment and a testament to our powertrain development process.” said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Ford Motor Company, Powertrain Product Development Operations. “The 3.5-liter engine class is one of the most competitive in the industry, so it is high praise to have our new engine stand out and be among the 10 best in the industry.”

The recently announced Shelby GT will not be the only new Mustang you see for sale in 2007 according to Motor Trend. It will be joined by two more Mustangs, a Bullitt and the much anticipated Boss Mustang. Yes it seems those 2008 Boss Mustang rumors were true. The Boss Mustang will get a tuned Hurricane Engine pushing out 425-435 Horsepower and will feature a stripped down interior, though air conditioning will be available, along with less sound deadening. Only 1000 Boss Mustangs will be produced in 2007 and the Boss Mustang will more than likely be a 2008 Model.

The 2005 Ford Mustang captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans and future owners when the all-new model debuted. But the proportions and design of Ford’s first purpose-built muscle car in 30-plus years caught the eyes and sparked the imaginations of a pair of the world’s leading coach builders in Italy as well. Be sure to check out the Giugiaro Mustang Gallery for high resolution pictures.

“When we saw the new Mustang, we knew two things: It was the best we’d seen since the original, and we had to get our hands on one,” said Fabrizio Giugiaro, styling director of Italdesign Giugiaro S.P.A. “We still believe it’s important to show the automotive world pure exercises in style that interpret key models reflecting the history and image of important brands.”

A Mustang enthusiast has captured what seems to be the first of the concept opportunities for the 2010 Ford Mustang. The Giugiaro Concept Mustang was seen in Italy and it is where the photo was taken. The Giugiaro Mustang is set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show and it sports such features an all glass roof, huge fender flares, and some of the sleekest styling seen on a Mustang yet. The headlights were said to be snuggled into the front bumper, below the hood, and the taillights have a very distinct, sharp look to them. The bright orange color is an immediate eye catcher, but the real features are the body lines of this car. Slightly resembling the Shelby GR-1 Concept from a few years back, the Giugiaro has a sleek, yet muscular shape. The retro theme continues with the side vents, mimicking the old green fastback seen jumping the hills of San Francisco. So what about the engine? A source says this 2010 Mustang will feature the most powerful engine yet.

German car magazine Automotorundsport gives us its view of the next generation Ford Mustang which they believe will go on sale in 2010. One could hope that this Mustang Wagon concept stays just that…. a concept. Rumors of the next Mustang being more aggressive are a dime a dozen but so far nothing has been leaked that would lead anyone to believe Ford is actually considering bringing the Mustang Wagon back, something that it created in the 1960’s and thankfully something that stayed in the 1960’s.

Ford Racing announced today at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) that it was bringing back the legendary “Boss” moniker for a new line of crate engines. The line is based on an all new version of the 5.0L pushrod V8. The 302 cubic inch blocks feature four-bolt nodular iron main caps, cross-drilled Siamese bores, and are made of diesel grade heat-treated cast iron. Other improvements over previous versions of the 5.0L block include screw-in o-ring sealed freeze plugs, improved lifter bore diameter, and a lifter galley front oil crossover.

If you happen by the Ford Motor Company display at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas next week, you might think you’ve wandered into the Ford section of one of the many thousands of aftermarket companies that fill the hall. On the contrary, the company that builds two of the most accessorized vehicles in the country, the F-150 pickup and the Mustang, is just claiming its rightful share of the $34 billion vehicle personalization market.

No longer will you have to look to the aftermarket to be able to use your wonderful Apple iPod in your Ford Mustang. Starting in 2007 Ford and Lincoln Mercury will be offering standard auxiliary audio-input jacks on select cars, one of which will be the Ford Mustang. The jacks allow customers to bring any MP3 player with a standard 3.5-millimeter audio output into their vehicle and play it through the audio system.

Ford has hinted around at a face lift for the Mustang in 2009 and now Road & Track Magazine has revealed the first concept pictures of the 2009 Ford Mustang. It is not the total redesign that everyone was expecting yet a “cleaned up version of the 2007 Mustang. Road & Track Magazine makes note that the cleaned up version that will be introduced in 2009 is expected to run from 2009 until 2011.

Total Mustang sales totaled 17,933, up 64 percent from August 2005 in which 10,921 Ford Mustangs were sold.

Doug Gaffka has a dream job designing dream cars. Gaffka can now add the Shelby GT500 to a design portfolio that includes the Bullit Mustang and the Mustang GT-R, as well as the 1999 Mustang and the Thunderbird.

Motor Trend magazine’s upcoming September issue is reporting that the Boss Mustang is a 100% go for the year 2008, before the Ford Motor Company plans to redesign the Ford Mustang line in 2009. Excited yet? Will if not you should be when you hear the rumored specs surrounding the car! Motor Trend is claiming the Boss Mustang will make use of a 5.0 liter displacement engine that will produce 390 naturally aspirated horsepower. That’s right folks, no supercharger on this bad boy. Many Mustang enthusiasts are hopeful that the 5.0 liter used will be the famous pushrod engine used up till 1995 in Mustangs. There is no word on that as of it.

Episode 5 of a 50-part documentary by Ford Bold Moves this episode introduces the 2007 Shleby GT500 to the press. Donald Sherman, journalist for Automobile Magazine, takes the wheel of the Shelby GT500 at Ford’s Proving Grounds in Michigan to put the Shelby GT500 to the test on the track.

Ever wonder what a T-Top S197 Ford Mustang would look like? Ford Motor Company tried the T-Tops in the 80’s only to find consumers complaining of the poor quality which lead to leaks during rain storms. That was the 80’s though and maybe it is time for Ford to consider going back and taking the look at the design flaws of the 80’s T-Top Mustangs and improve on that and release possibly release a T-Top version of the Mustang in 2009 to coincide with the rumored redes
