2011 Ford Mustang details leaked

In a few weeks we will know all the details on Ford's 2011 Mustang, but some info has already started to leak out. Ford's recently released fleet distribution news bulletin sheds some light on when the new Mustang is coming and what different models will be offered.

The bulletin states that customers will be able to order their 2011 Mustang on January 18, 2010, and will be entering production on March 15, 2010. The bulliten hints that some models, like the California Special will return.

There will be an SVT package, offering three different 19-inch wheel options, an available six-speed automatic transmission, a Brembo brake package, an RR spoiler, "Over the Top" stripe delete and a 3.73 limited slip.

The bulliten also confirms that the Shelby GT500 will continue on with the 5.4 liter V8, which has been recently rumored to have an aluminum block for '11. We'll have all the details when Ford officially rolls out the 2011 Mustang next month at the L.A. Auto Show.

SEMA 2009: Yenko Camaro makes it's debut

Well that was quick. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had some nice artist renderings of the new Yenko Camaro, and now we get to see it in the flesh at SEMA.

Behold, the Phase I. It features an LS3, the same 6.2 liter present in the Camaro SS. While that may not match the cubes of the original's 427 big block, it does make a stout 600 horsepower thanks to a supercharger.

The Phase II and Phase III are in the pipeline with what is expected to obviously be more horsepower. Think perhaps an LS7, or LS9?

SEMA 2009: A pair of Camaro convertibles

Even though you are unable to purchase a Camaro convertible from Chevrolet right now, you were able to see a couple of them at SEMA in Las Vegas.

The first drop top comes to us from the appropriately named Drop Top Customs, and is pretty easy to spot thanks to it's screaming yellow paint. The guys at Drop Top are experts, and build a solid car. If you can't wait for Chevrolet to put out it's own Camaro 'vert, they might be the way to go.

The next convertible is a conversion done by Newport Convertible, and it looks a little less OE with it's custom chrome grill and and wheels.

SEMA 2009: Pinkee's Rod Shop 1977 Pontiac Firebird

The Firebird is having somewhat of a renaissance since Pontiac hit the graveyard and folks are turning new Camaros into Trans Ams. But the old 70's body style 'birds have always been a hit with the crowd that maybe still to this day watches Smokey and the Bandit over and over.

This fine example of a 1977 Pontiac Firebird was in attendance at SEMA, and it was built by Pinkee's Rod Shop in Windsor, Colorado. It features many aspects of a retro rod, which was quite a popular theme at SEMA.
