The Ford muscle cars from the 1960s are fascinating. Big powerful race car engines were dropped into the family sedans and coupes to make stealth drag racers that prowled the parking lots and freeways. Ford is attempting to recapture the interest in those cars with introducing the 427 Concept Car

Another article from Ford media talks about the Shelby Cobra concept car. Bill Cosby did a comedy routine about the special Shelby Cobra built for him, appropriately titled "200 M.P.H."

This new Ford 427 is a monster which harks back to the Fairlane 427 of 1967 and the Full sized Ford 7 litre cars

The Mercury division recently produced another monster sedan called the Mercury Marauder. This car turns 7 second 0-60 MPH times, which is about the same as the 60's 427 equipped Mercury Marauder. Nice.

The Shelby Cobra is a legend unto itself. Stick a Ford 427 motor in a tiny sports car, and you get a car that goes from 0-100 to 0 in 10 seconds. More information about Shelby Cobras
