The analysts claim Ford is sick, and the company’s financials seem to bolster their point, but a visit to www.the2010Mustang.com gives a great audio sample of a plenty healthy V-8 wailing through the Mustang GT’s bellowing factory-tuned exhaust.

Site visitors may click on one picture in a cool levitating patchwork of 25, at which point the selected image enlarges and the story behind the picture may be read. Ford wants your vote on the most compelling of these photo stories, and the lucky winner will win a 2010 Mustang plus an all-expenses-paid trip to the L.A. Auto Show next month where the new ‘Stang will be officially unveiled.

Long live the ponycar, hang in there Ford, and cheers to the car that launched the segment in 1964 at the New York World’s Fair.–Colin Mathews
