If you want the look of a classic Mustang with all the amenities of a modern pony car, then look no further than Retrobuilt. A couple years ago the Missouri-based company released their 1969 Mustang Fastback conversion, mixing the underpinnings and drivetrain of the current S197 Mustang with the styling of the legendary Boss 302. Now they have followed that up with their newest offering, the 1969 Shelby GT500CS Convertible. The new model goes the same route as Retrobuilt’s previous cars, except this time the exterior is based on the …

The folks over at Ford’s Special Vehicle Team aren’t just your ordinary collection of engineers. Many have …

Back in October Ford SVT engineers headed out to Sebring International Raceway in Florida to do durability testing with the 2013 Shelby GT500.
