Chip Foose builds a 2010 Ford Mustang that you can win


Obvious to anyone who watches TV or reads car magazines, Chip Foose is a talented guy. And he recently got his hands on a new 2010 Mustang on an episode of Spike TV's MuscleCar.

Unlike most all of Foose's creations, however, you can actually register to win this one at PowerBlockTv.com. The Mustang features an Edelbrock supercharger system, Roush body kit, Magnaflow exhaust, Foose wheels and Pirelli tires, Baer brakes, Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, and a unique paint scheme designed by Foose himself. You can submit an entry to win once a week until October 12.

Chip Foose unleashes "Terracuda"


Brown is a color reserved for few. Once it adorned many cars, but nowadays it's largely ignored in favor of more popular hues. Chip Foose is a man known for making lust worth cars, and with his latest creation he shows what brown can do for you.

The story goes that one of Foose's customers brought in a Breitling watch and asked Chip to make his car the same color. This was the result, a 1970 Plymouth Barrauda painted in Terracuda Brown with California Gold stripes, both of which are part of Foose's new line of paints developed with BASF.

The Terracuda is much more than just the paint, however, and is up to the high standard that is common among all Foose vehicles. The unibody of the original car was removed and replaced with a custom frame designed by Chip and built by Art Carr, and every panel of the car has been changed in some way. The front axle has been moved forward three inches to create less of an overhang, and the rear bumper has been cut down and tucked in.

Under the hood is Mopar's 392ci crate engine that is mated to a Tremec 5-speed transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. The interior is completely custom as well, with Ferrari leather covering carbon fiber seats. Last of all, a set of Foose-designed wheels were added and painted to match the rest of the car.
