1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible is up for auction

Although the Mustang has been produced since 1964, there is no official model from that year. However, there is a rare 1964 1/2 Mustang, which was produced from March to August 1964. During that period, 121,538 units left the assembly line, of which 28,833 were convertibles and 92,705 were coupes. One of the Convertibles, a 1964 1/2 Mustang is up for auction.

This 1964 1/2 Mustang is powered by a 4.7L V8 engine with 225 hp (165 kW), paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. It was owned by one person and was equipped with accessories that included a center console, AM/FM radio and a power sunroof, as well as the Rally-Pac package that included a tachometer and clock installed under the dash.

The car has never been restored. The sunroof isn’t perfect, the chassis has some surface rust, and the interior needs some work. No big deal, considering it’s a 60-year-old car, and you’re unlikely to find another unrestored 1964 1/2 Mustang in this condition.

This is an outstanding opportunity to purchase this rare and highly desirable car, which is being offered for auction on ebay. The auction ends on September 18th and the current highest bid is USD $28,000.00.

Modified Range Rover

Range Rover is difficult to modify with taste. There are several aftermarket packages that can precisely match the style and elegance of the Range Rover body and enhance it in some way. RDB LA and 1016 Industries have done just that by introducing the Silver Surfer.

The car is covered in satin silver aluminum foil that makes it stand out even next to an exotic supercar. It is equipped with a front lip spoiler, extended sills, more pronounced wheel arches and a redesigned front bumper with a diffuser, a new exhaust system, and a roof spoiler. The price depends on whether the components (made by 1016 Industries) are painted ($28,500), made of carbon ($35,000), or forged carbon ($40,000).

RDB LA, based in Los Angeles, equipped the car with new 26-inch retro rims. Although their size may have a negative impact on comfort, the brushed aluminum finish matches the exterior design perfectly.

“I believe our latest package brings this vehicle to perfection,” said founder and CEO of 1016 Industries Peter Northrop.

Mythen reaches 100 kph in less than a second

“Anything is possible if you are sincerely determined and you really want to do it.” Proof of this is the project of students from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences, who produced the fastest accelerating electric car in the world, the Mythen.

As part of the Zurich Academic Motorsport Club (AMZ), the students worked tirelessly on a car that, thanks to the use of carbon fiber and aluminum, weighs only 140 kilograms.

Mythen is powered by four electric motors, one on each wheel, with a total power of 326 hp (240 kW). That doesn’t sound impressive, so what’s the secret? Well, the secret is in the power-to-weight ratio, which makes the Mythen unmatched by even the world’s most powerful hypercars. This vehicle actually has enough power for this platform that the car could take off. However, thanks to a system that keeps the vehicle firmly on the ground, the Mythen manages to get the grip it needs to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in a whopping 0.956 seconds.

The record was previously held by Foerderverein GreenTeam Uni Stuttgart e.V., whose electric car accelerated to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 1.461 seconds on September 23, 2022.
