Car articles about Ford (US) Torino GT 289 by year
The Ford GT 40 is rightly regarded as one of the most successful sports cars of all time and, as the drivers of the time assure us, also one of the most comfortable for covering long distances. It was therefore only natural to derive road vehicles from the racing car. But here success fell by the wayside, only a few were built, most of which were eventually converted into racing cars anyway. This report tells the story of the Ford GT 40 and the two road-going versions and looks at a one-off that should have definitively positioned the GT 40 as a luxury sports car. The report is illustrated with over 120 photos, some of which have never been seen before.
Two Ford Mustangs have achieved special film honors and become legendary. Eleanor and "Bullitt", the car driven by Frank Bullitt in the movie of the same name. It's no wonder that these cars are reproduced time and again. But the Ford Mustang Fastback with a 6.4-liter engine was a very interesting car even without this legendary status. This vehicle report looks back at the history of the powerful Mustang from the 1967 and 1968 model years and shows the original film car from "Bullitt" and a clone in detail.
In the late sixties, Alejandro De Tomaso joined the tuners and took on the Ford Cortina. The Italian-optimized Englishman waited unsuccessfully for the great mass rush and ultimately remained a rarity. This article shows pictures of the Mk1 and Mk2 versions and summarizes the differences to the standard GT, as well as driving impressions from the trade press. A real treat!
