Mustang Performance 1988-1996 Subtitled: The Best of Hot Rod Magazine, Volume 4. Ford fired the first shot in the pony car war with its legendary 1964 1/2 Mustang. In this information-packed volume The Best of Hot Rod Magazine highlights Ford's street-strong GT-4s, Saleens, 289s, 32s, 351s, 428s, drag and street suspensions in various arenas in a variety of valuable technical and performance articles.

Shelby Mustang details the entire story of these fantastic cars, from the early prototypes built in Shelby's Los Angeles shop to today's Ford-engineered high-tech performers. Written by one of the world's foremost authorities on Shelby automobiles, critically acclaimed author Colin Comer, and with a foreword by Lee Iacocca, the American automobile executive credited with the successful development of the Mustang, this is the definitive account of the Shelby. When Ford wanted to toughen up its super-successful new Mustang, they approached Carroll Shelby to give it the performance image it so sorely lacked. Beginning with a 1965 "K-Code" 289-cubic-inch-powered Mustang fastback, Shelby applied the same formula that had made his Cobra sports cars such devastating performers both on and off the track: more horsepower, less weight, balanced handling. The GT350 quickly established itself as a bonafide force in SCCA B-Production racing, twisting back roads, and boulevards alike—setting the course for future Shelby Mustangs, like the big-block GT500. Though those original Shelby Mustangs were done by 1970, Ford dusted off its Shelby relationship in 2006 and has been producing high-performance Ford Mustang Shelbys ever since. This is a must-have read for any fan of American performance cars, whether you're a muscle-era original or a 21st-century stormer.

Includes in-depth instructions on: engine tech, exhaust, fuel systems, manual and automatic transmissions, suspension, interior, body and exterior, nitrous and supercharging, and much more.
