Ford unveiled its latest muscle car at the Detroit Auto Show this week. It’s not just any muscle car. It’s the Mustang GTD called Spirit of America, which is a tribute to the turbojet-powered cars from decades ago.
The white two-door muscle car has red and white stripes down the center that are meant to mimic the overalls that professional race car driver Craig Breedlove wore when he broke the 500 mph and 600 mph barriers in the 1960s.
