Did You Know Ford Built a V10-Powered Mustang "Boss 351"?

Did You Know Ford Built a V10-Powered Mustang "Boss 351"?

Growing up in  Detroit, Matt Korczyk had heard about this Ford Mustang long before he ever saw it. A V10-powered Mustang coupe, built in secret, and one of one. Somebody had seen it. Somebody had a photo. Somebody knew an engineer who worked on it. Then, years later, Korczyk found himself standing next to the car. Today, as Ford’s Heritage Fleet Manager, he’s responsible for taking care of it. “It was one of those cars that almost felt mythical,” he says. “Now, I’m one of the people responsible for taking care of it, which is still a little crazy for me to think about.” For someone who grew up hearing stories about the car, getting to drive it, maintain it, and help tell its story is about as good as a job gets.Recently, Korczyk and the Heritage Fleet team worked with members of the original crew to bring the Mustang back to life after years of sitting. That meant new electronics and going through systems that hadn’t been touched in decades. The goal wasn’t to make the car faster, but to get it back to the way its designers intended. That eventually meant putting it on the dyno. When the V10 fired up, Korczyk says everyone in the room stopped talking. The engine has a sound that’s completely out of place in today’s world, raw, mechanical, and most definitely experimental. Then came the magic number, more than 510 horsepower at the wheels.Still, the horsepower wasn’t the part Korczyk remembers most. Standing around the dyno were Greg Coleman, Jim O’Neill, Paul Vella, Don Masch, Mike Shelby, and their supervisor, John Brune, the same people who built the car roughly 25 years ago. They spent countless nights and weekends machining parts, solving problems, and proving that a V10 Mustang could actually work. Witnessing it run again brought all of those feelings back. The guys weren’t grinning ear to ear because of a number on a screen, but because their passion project was still alive.That’s what makes Korczyk’s role with the Heritage Fleet such a dream job. He’s not looking after old cars, but instead, preserving them to keep their stories alive. The V10 Boss 351 is certainly a wild piece of Mustang history, and one that never came close to production, but it’s also a reminder of what can happen when a group of engineers decides to build something simply because they can. And now, decades later, Korczyk gets to make sure that story never disappears. For a car that was once a little rumor among Detroit car guys, that’s a pretty good ending.

Velocity Completes Its First Full Carbon Shelby GT500CR Under New Leadership

Nothing quite screams Americana like the style and sound of a classic Shelby Mustang, tapping into one of the most iconic eras of motoring for most passionate car enthusiasts. And while anyone can appreciate the beauty behind an original from the 1960s, technology and craftsmanship have come a long way for the automotive industry, allowing professionals like Classic Recreations powered by Velocity, the ability to build your dream Shelby Mustang GT500 from the ground up using modern materials while retaining that classic, unmistakable look. Since acquiring Classic Recreation close to a year ago, Velocity is now marking a major milestone with the completion of its first production Mustang under its leadership. Rolling off its reestablished production line in Pensacola, FL, the 1967-68 Shelby GT500CR Carbon, recently featured on the cover of duPont REGISTRY’s July 2026 issue, was an in-process build from Classic Recreations’ prior ownership. The licensed Shelby exterior shows off an incredible exposed carbon fiber finish with gloss-black painted racing stripes and logos, showcasing the perfect balance between its classic Mustang styling and modern, ultra-lightweight construction. Matching gloss-black OEM-plus-style wheels complete the look while adding the much-needed traction for this modern muscle car. Inside, the cabin looks and feels nostalgic, right out of the late 60s, retaining its subtle, driver-focused interior. Plush black leather layers nearly every surface with red contrast stitching, from the two-piece seats, embroidered with Carroll Shelby’s signature, and onto the center console and dashboard. Characteristics like aluminum trim, a wood steering wheel, and classic Shelby badging give the GT500CR its period-correct style.  As Velocity continues its momentum, the first Classic Recreations Mustang signals the next phase of production for the brand, with additional builds nearing completion each week. If you’re searching for that next nostalgic Shelby muscle car and want the experience of configuring it from new, check out Classic Recreations powered by Velocity by clicking the button below.

Clive Sutton Announces 788HP Ford Mustang Dark Horse Upgrade

Clive Sutton gives the Dark Horse even more horses. While the Ford Mustang is known as one of the most prominent poster children of American performance, and the latest generation’s Dark Horse variant is Ford’s most ambitious performance-focused version of the Mustang yet, London-based performance specialist Clive Sutton decided to take the Dark Horse a step further, adding a supercharger to the mix and giving its take on the Dark Horse, which it calls the ‘CS800DH Mustang,’ to an even higher echelon of performance. Thanks to the addition of a Ford Performance 3.0L Whipple supercharger, Clive Sutton was able to increase the Dark Horse’s power figure by a whopping 76 percent, while also increasing its torque by a factor of 61 percent, bringing the numbers to 788 horsepower and 642 lb/ft, respectively. In addition to the power increase, Clive Sutton also added carbon fiber aerodynamic components to the Mustang Dark Horse, giving it a raised rear wing, a larger diffuser, a new hood, front splitter, and side skirts. Vossen wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires further transform the look and performance character of the iconic performance car, while a lower and stiffer suspension improves handling, and a Borla exhaust system enhances the sound experience of the V8, along with the supercharger whine, of course. Other enhancements include an MGW short-throw racing shifter and adjustable Recaro racing seats with heating and cooling. With the performance engineering expertise of Clive Sutton, the already groundbreaking Ford Mustang Dark Horse gains even more high-performance edge.

New Film Friday on Petrolicious: A Shelby GT350’s Revival

Petrolicious, the creator of quality, original films and articles for classic car enthusiasts, has released its latest video, featuring automotive devotee Dave Rioux who restored his classic 1967 Shelby GT350 exactly how he wanted it after 51 years of ownership. After a couple of years away, the Petrolicious website and YouTube Channel has been recently rebooted by duPont REGISTRY Group, and new films are now dropping every Friday. Petrolicious celebrates the inventions, the personalities, and the aesthetics that ignite a collective lust for great automotive machines, and it seeks to inform, entertain, and inspire its community of aficionados and pique the interest of those who have been missing out. Today, Petrolicious takes up Rioux’s story... Dave will be the first one to tell you his ’67 Shelby GT350 isn’t period correct. But when it comes to ticking the boxes of what truly matters, concours rules don’t even make the list. This car is more than a restoration; it’s the embodiment of perseverance, sacrifice, and a vision he held onto for decades. As a teenager, Dave watched the GT350 roll past his gas station, driven by a Vietnam veteran who had bought it brand new. To Dave, it wasn’t just a car; it was a rolling symbol of freedom and individuality. He knew, deep down, it would be his someday. That day came in 1973 when, after a few changes of ownership, he finally made the dream a reality. As it inevitably tends to do, life came by and happened. Marriage, family, and the responsibilities of adulthood meant the GT350 got pushed off to the back of his mind. Still, Dave never let go of the vision he had when he disassembled the car in 1976. Thirty years later, with his family’s support, he finally turned his attention back to the car, not to build a concours queen but to create something deeply personal. “This car is not necessarily period correct.” Dave says, “It’s not a concours car, but it’s a hell of a machine because I built it the way I want it.” It took two years of bodywork, engine rebuilds, and assembly. He meticulously archived every bolt and part, documenting every detail as he blended authentic elements with personal touches to craft a machine that fulfills the longing he felt all those years ago watching it cruise by the station. Plenty of people want a factory-spec restoration, a polished time capsule built to live on manicured grass instead of asphalt. Instead Dave built something that embodies everything he values most: hard work, sacrifice, family, and the passion to see something through, no matter how long it takes. It’s not correct by concours standards, but it’s real by every measure that counts. For Dave, that’s all it ever needed to be. Visit Petrolicious.com

The New Shelby GT500 Code Red Is A 1,300-HP Twin-Turbo Pe...

If you thought the Shelby GT500 was red hot, think again. The Shelby GT500 is a car that takes the Ford Mustang’s performance DNA to the next level, turning it from an iconic sports car into a formidable world-class performance machine. However, Shelby is far from done with getting the maximum performance out of the Ford Mustang, and the new Code Red upgrade for the Shelby GT500 is proof that when it comes to power and speed, the sky is the limit. The new Code Red upgrade is a package that adds incredible amounts of power, and also comes with a wider body, new wheels, new tires, new axels, a retuned suspension, a reworked interior and other aspects upgraded. Better yet, it’s inspired by an experimental twin-turbocharged V8 Shelby Mustang also called the Code Red, and this upgrade does even better than making the original Code Red’s vision into reality. MUST READ: Experience The 2022 1100HP Stage 2 Yenko®/SC Camaro With E85 Ethanol fuel, the Shelby GT500 Code Red will be good for a mind-blowing 1,300 horsepower and 1,000 lb/ft of torque, which are hypercar numbers coming from the basis of the American pony car. This comes thanks to opting for a twin-turbocharged powertrain rather than the existing supercharged one. However, if you think that the opportunity to own a car this amazing will be rare, you would be right. Only 30 of these beasts will be made, from 10 Shelby GT500s from each model year from 2020 to 2022. The MSRP of the package starts at $209,995, and that doesn’t include the base car. Production has begun in Las Vegas and 2020-2022 Shelby GT500 owners can contact Shelby American about turning their cars into Code Red editions with unthinkable amounts of performance.

Rockstar Energy and CD Projekt Red Create Cyberpunk 2077 ...

After what seems to be years, the new Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release in just about a month on November 19. To get everyone more excited than they already are, the developer, CD Projekt Red, and Rockstar Energy teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle. The Rockstar Energy x Cyberpunk 2077 custom 1970 Mustang is a mean restomod that was inspired by the in-game Quadra Type-66 car. For a base, Rockstar Energy Drink Performance Garage used a 1970 Ford Mustang 302 with a 4.9-liter V8 engine. Visually, the Mustang has been given a complete overhaul. In the front is a massive and intimidating grille with a "Quadra" badge, which to me is the highlight of the exterior. Well, there's also the Rotiform wheels which finish the look off. Inside is a custom interior with carbon fiber trim, custom gauges, and more. The performance was also increased through multiple upgrades like the two 3.0-inch K&N air filters, Magnaflow exhaust, four-wheel disc brakes and more. What's more, you can actually win the Quadra. When you purchase a can of Rockstar Energy that includes a code for the Cyberpunk 2077 promo, you can enter it for a chance to win. Even if you don't win the Quadra (grand price), there are plenty of other awesome items to score. Click the button below to learn more. Learn More
