Share PinterestEmailThe Ford Mustang was an unqualified sales success after six years in production. The group responsible for its boyish good looks was The Corporate Projects Studio at the Ford Styling Center in Dearborn, Michigan. "The Mustang was styled with classically aesthetic proportions, long, low hood, low overall height; close coupled passenger compartment and a short rear deck."

Vaughn Gittin Jr. to Pilot a Ford Eagle Squadron Mustang GT at Goodwood Festival of Speed
As it stated in Professional drifter and Formula D superstar Vaughn Gittin Jr. will manhandle a mean-looking Ford Mustang GT up the famous hill at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The one-off pony car is dubbed the Eagle Squadron Mustang GT, and it was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Britain's Royal Air Force. The Mustang pays homage not only to the Royal Air Force, but also the brave Americans that fought within it. In fact, Gittin will be accompanied by Royal Air Force veteran Paul Miller, whose father "Dusty" served in Eagle Squadron in 1941 and 1942. Ford plans on auctioning the Eagle Squadron Mustang GT July 26 to benefit the Experimental Aircraft Association's youth aviation education programs.That Self-Driving 1965 Ford Mustang Self-Drove Into A Wall
Siemens worked out a way for autonomous car to suck even more fun out of driving by developing a self-driving system that could be fitted to classic cars, like the 1965 Ford Mustang it ran at the Goodwood Hillclimb today. A couple of days ago, Siemens and Cranfield University revealed its supposed self-driving Mustang, and claimed that it had a suite of sensors and algorithms that would allow it to navigate the hillclimb without human input.

According to the developer, the car relies on GPS for its navigation, and isn't actually using what the sensors see of the road ahead to navigate. But clearly they still have a lot they need to work out.
