2009-01-08 Saleen stages muscle car return The Detroit NewsSaleen stages muscle car return New company adds Dodge Challengers and Chevrolet Camaros to his bulked-up Ford Mustangs. The Detroit News After some 25 years focused on Fords, Saleen says his new company provides him with the freedom to explore additional marques. In addition to the modern muscle cars from Detroit, he and his engineering staff are looking at possible SMS hybrid or electric vehicles, as well as the development of unique products along the line of the Saleen S7 supercar. Saleen studied business at the University of Southern California. He also raced cars and built a successful sports car plus Indy and Le Mans racing teams. Applying what he learned on the track to modifying Mustangs for the street, Saleen Autosport (which at one time was based in Livonia) grew into Saleen Inc. , which like Shelby and Roush earned original equipment manufacturer status for producing fully certified and street-legal high-performance Mustangs, and even a unique Saleen supercar for the road and for racing.

Torque, at 245 pound-feet, is up 37 pound-feet, although that peak torque comes in at 400rpm higher than on the RX 400h.

2009-01-07 1963 Plymouth Fury - Mopar MuscleNow all they had to do was find a block. In 2006 it was tough to find a brand-new Hemi, but Bill searched the country and eventually found one sitting in a crate in Miami. Mike ordered all the parts needed, did the machine work, and then shipped the parts to Gary for the final assembly. Gary is the head technician at Best of Show Automotive and hes very particular about doing things right the first time. Therefore, hes very clean and calm when assembling an engine. The factory Hemi carburetors were sent out to Dick Landy to have him work his magic, and most metal pieces were sent out to Pauls Chrome since Bill wanted the engine to jump out at you when you looked under the hood. Check out Bill Matthies and his red 1963 Plymouth Fury featuring a hemi engine under the hood.
