The Winning Design was a Fastback
The Mustang II program actually dates from around the middle of 1969, when work began on what was then simply the next Mustang. To her likely surprise, the chairman said he agreed. But by the time Iacocca became Ford Motor Company president in 1970, the bottom had dropped out of the pony car market, and the imported Capri — which Iacocca said was more like the original “than any Mustang we have today” — was doing solid business at Lincoln-Mercury dealers.Iacocca had never liked Bunkie Knudsen’s ’71 Mustang, and it wasn’t just because the man who backed it had been favored with the president’s chair.
The 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 was Ford’s final high-performance Mustang of the classic muscle car era. Here’s a profile, photos, and specifications. Gallop into its profile, photos, and specifications. Both programs were turned over to Nat Adamson, manager of advanced product planning, who recalled that the Maverick-based car, code named “Ohio,” was initially favored. In November 1969, less than two months after Henry Ford II fired Bunkie Knudsen as Ford president, new chief Lee Iacocca voiced his own concerns to a group of top-level Ford executives at the toney Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.

Obviously, this one isn’t for the kids. Start out with the $5 sampler plate and prepare your palate for all the testicles you can eat. And remember, when in Rome — taste a testicle, cheer when the babies cry, and take a tomato in the face. While attending the festival, if you can stand a rowdy, noisy, testicle-devouring crowd, you can stay at a nearby free campground. And don’t worry, the festival only serves U.S. The Rocky Creek Lodge gift shop offers lots of testicle souvenirs. At the festival, you can sample a variety of these rich-in-protein testicular delights.
Most people have attended a county or state fair — walked through the livestock barns, snacked on tasty fried treats, had fun on carnival rides, viewed the blue ribbon apple pie. But some small towns take their community festivals a bit outside those lines — actually, far outside those lines. You know — the par-for-the-course activities you’d expect at a festival. Or, take Fruita, Colorado’s Mike the Headless Chicken Days, a festival founded in honor of a bizarre historical event: In 1945, a Fruita resident’s chicken survived without a head for a full 18 months. Take the National Hollerin’ Contest hosted by the eastern North Carolina town of Spivey’s Corner — population 49. This fair was established to revive the lost art of hollerin’, so instead of rooster crows, you’ll hear the crows of contest competitors as you roam the festival grounds.
