An aluminum body is a great way to cut vehicle weight, but it’s not the only way. Wheels carry quite a bit of pounds in them. That’s why Ford went with carbon fiber for the wheels on its upcoming Shelby GT350R Mustang.

This week’s Throwback video features a piece that was upload in 2014, showing an older Ford F-150 pickup in what is either the best or the worst bikini car wash ever.

Picking up a new project can either be one of the best feelings or one of the worst. Sometimes it is just exciting to think of getting a rig exactly where you want it to be, and other times it can be a stressful hurdle that keeps on throwing problems in your face.

Test drives are great and all, but salespeople aren’t terribly enthusiastic about the idea of potential customers taking inventory out on a race course to see how it performs. That’s true here and across the pond in the UK, where the new Mustang is now available.

Seafoam green, a bed lined with polished wood, and a brand new 5.0-liter Coyote V8, all stuffed into a 1956 F-100. If you were to ask me how to build the perfect classic pickup truck, it would look almost exactly like this.

Ford is good at making Mustangs that are so powerful, they feel as if they’re about to take flight when you put your right foot down. We’re sure whoever ends up owning the Apollo Edition Mustang will get that exact same sensation.

Ford’s switch to an aluminum body for its new F-150 was so revolutionary and headline-grabbing that it overshadowed the other features the Blue Oval incorporated to make its half-ton less thirsty than the one before it.
