@@Farmhands33ever consider not everyone has parents that would but them a car by age 12? Couldn’t just let the man have a renewed view on something. Shame you couldn’t help being an arse for 10 minutes
Dude must seem like an absolute freak to his college friends. The whole vibe is so late 60's/early 70's. Love that he saved the car, and that exhaust is mind blowing.
If anyone was wondering for their own project if a synchronized toploader 4 speed worked at +7000rpm, this guy provides a good example of it being possible, driving long distance & daily on top of it.
F....yes. All these mega dollar cars have a lot of great engineering etc etc , look fantastic etc etc, but not one would be as cool to drive as this stand, park in a shopping car park, who cares about a ding or scratch.. one of my favourite cars ever.!!!!!
I was impressed by this kid after seeing him on Craig's channel. This kid and his car are the exact things they were making "hooligan" PSA movies about in the 1950's. "Johhny was a normal schoolboy but he was ADDICTED TO SPEED!!"
HAHAHAHA well, my son was born with a hot wheel in his hand but after the decade or so of video game addiction, the very second he bought his first car... he's now addicted to cars. ❤😂😊
How many kids even know who grumpy Jenkins is? Working in a machine shop? Awesome Total respect. 450hp is plenty in a daily, and reliable, low maintenance setup can be so fun.
Big blocks are easier to make fast, but high revving small blocks are just magical. Anything up to a 327 really does it for me. I always loved the 3.4 liter Yamaha V8s in the 3rd generation Taurus SHO.
Man... This kid is just like me... Im 23 years old just finishing up my 66 chevy ii 2 door post car. Nothing crazy all old shit 283, power pak heads big hydralic flat tappet cam. m21 muncie with t grip hurst shifter and 3.73 in a 10 bolt. I run that car all the time and the 283 rips just revs to the moon. I did my motor but didnt do the machine work. love the car man this is so sick
Hell. Yeah. Love the vibe of that car, pure mechanical...who cares about the body or the floaty front end. Just listen to that noise. Impressive what he's been able to learn and build in a short time.
Ahh to be young,have passion and a solid head on your shoulders..let alone knowing exactly what you want and getting after it,I’m 47 and I admire the hell out of this guy.
Please bring more of this. New generation loving old school muscle and more of new generation piecing together cars and making gems. Makes this 44 year old happy, knowing the tradition is being carried on. Awesome job kid and @autotopiala
I'm all for boosted engines and the turbo/ supercharger noises, but a high revving N/A small block just sounds like nothing else out there. killer car.
My son ia 25, been a gearhead since 10. I will never forget him as a 14 year old explaining to my father in law how a camshaft works. You are very nuch like him. Awesome to see
Absolute best, from the minute l heard Ethan speak to his flat changing l couldn't stop smiling and remembering my crazy car mates from 40 years ago. Too you both can't thank you guys enough..best wishes from Brisbane Australia.
Ethan- you give us older guys hope- built a really cool old school Mustang and going for your civil engineer degree! My brother was a PE, much respect, the math is not easy! Love that your girlfriend approves and that you helped her build her Mustang!
This is all awesome, no one would ever see this coming. And yes, this young man is a refreshing change to all build philosophies you see today. He's right, keep it simple but make it badass. This sounds like conversations we used to have in the garage back in the early 70s.
Bro there's still hope in the future, this kid is an old soul. Shout to him. Mad respect for his work, build, and nostalgic knowledge. Shout out to his lady as well. 🙏🏾👏🏾
Super rad! Hearing his car and your video edits are giving me those Steve McQueen Bullitt vibes! Awesome build and seeing these young builders keeping some nostalgia there’s still hope for the car scene with the younger generation! Well done guys!!!
I really like Ethan. When he comes on Craig’s channel he’s always knowledgeable and cool as a cucumber. He’s probably gonna do great things in the coming years.
My thought s exactly! It's great to see him picking up the torch! Also good to know that JBA is still engineering great products. Those headers are the best available for almost any aftermarket application, especially Fords.
ABSOLUTELY LUVVIT!! This is THEEE best video from y'all in a long time!! No silly dollar builds, no rubber band tyres - this kid has done something AMAZING here!! More like this please!!
What a treasure trove of sounds emanating from that 289. It's emotional! I remember listening to the trans-am races as a boy and that screaming 289 coupled with that infamous firing order, it awakens the soul. It beckons the inner beast to want more. Another great episode. Many thanks guys and gals.
Actually the firing order is the same as other Ford v8s and GMs & Mopars traditionally the firing orders are the same as well. Ford just numbers their cylinders differently. The only exception is the 351 Windsor firing order, which was also used in late model 302/5.0s as well. A 351 W cam can be used in many other Ford small block engines too, you just gotta change the plug wires around.
This is the content I like to see! This is what the car community needs more of. Young people in the hobby. These builds give us inspiration and confidence that we can do this type of stuff in our own garage or carport. I love the “old school” vibe of this car!
I saw this car for the first time in their channel roughly 2 weeks ago if I’m guessing. The sound is amazing. The zero f*cks given build is amazing. Good on ya boys
My grandfather fully restored a '1964 1/2 Mustang convertible with a 289 for my aunt and gave it to her for 16th birthday. Great to see a red-blooded American, Gen Z, car guy! Keep on winning kid! 🏁🇺🇸🏁
love this video, my favourate year mustang, that 289 sounds so mean.the only thing missing from that car is a nice candy apple red paint job.this kid is smart and knowledgable about cars.1 thing i like about the interior is the backseat fold downs. also that dash i just love
luv this. The high dollar customs have their place but I will always be impressed with the owner builder who has really turned out something as badd ass as this. Day 2 (and 3!) is my fav...i built a 70 Mach 1 with a stroker Cleveland 408 that doesn't quite rev like this insane 289, but it has that day 2 vibe that I luv so well. Awesome Ethan
What an impressive young man. Both very smart and appears to be genuinely nice. No surprise he is studying to be an engineer. I typically think the youth of this country is not good. But this kid gives me hope. I Wish him nothing but success in his future. Great episode
I’m 22 with an 81 f150 I plan on redoing. Just a little 6 cyl 2wd truck but I love it. There’s just something special about hopping behind the wheel of and older vehicle and going for a ride
Love this guy. “Wanna hear it?” Smashes downshift and side steps the clutch. So cool that he wanted a build he could thrash and put all the time and money into that goal. Sounds incredible to boot.
Great stuff! this is one of the problems with the car scene now it's gotten so expensive young guys cant get in! good on you for giving young guys some attention who are having a crack on a budget!
The ford Windsor 289 and the chev Z28 302 are my two faourite engines . Both small and both mighty. I dont run on the ford GM BS. They are both great. This build is awesome.
Thing sounds great I remember driving my 68 Cougar 20 years ago all dune buggied out like this Mustang. As I hit my late 20’s that was when I discovered how much better these classics look when you set them down a bit. This kid is doing good though!
I gota say after watching a lot of your videos this is the best so far. That burnout at the end is the best....Hands down. Street racing at its best!!!!
I live near JBA in Kearny Mesa and have seen this thing rip! As a fellow youngish Ford Foxbody/Automotive nut, I salute this guy and I’d love to meet him! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I grew up and went to JBA car shows with my grandpa in the 90s! Such a cool history that place has!
The first real SBF I built was extremely educational. Roller everything, no friction with a Scat rotating assembly with the GT40 aluminum upper. The thing spun to the limiter at 7250 in no time. I couldn't believe the little thing could rev so well. Love the SBF

What a beast of a car. Glad to see a 289 instead of another 5.0 or big block. This small block literally screams. Love it

Exactly! I was surprised and pleased simultaneously upon seeing that powerplant! She's unique alright.

That stang and 289 is froggy enough for personal entertainment and not out to prove shit! Love it 😂
Exactly
Thin wall Henry tearing it up baby!
Love that screaming 289!
My grandfather fully restored a '1964 1/2 Mustang convertible with a 289 for my aunt and gave it to her for 16th birthday. Great to see a red-blooded American, Gen Z, car guy! Keep on winning kid! 🏁🇺🇸🏁
love this video, my favourate year mustang, that 289 sounds so mean.the only thing missing from that car is a nice candy apple red paint job.this kid is smart and knowledgable about cars.1 thing i like about the interior is the backseat fold downs. also that dash i just love
He loves it ratty and patina!
@@AutotopiaLA don't paint it. It will never be the same.
@@merc6 Sure it will....just nicer to look at.Can still drive it everywhere
luv this. The high dollar customs have their place but I will always be impressed with the owner builder who has really turned out something as badd ass as this. Day 2 (and 3!) is my fav...i built a 70 Mach 1 with a stroker Cleveland 408 that doesn't quite rev like this insane 289, but it has that day 2 vibe that I luv so well. Awesome Ethan
What an impressive young man. Both very smart and appears to be genuinely nice. No surprise he is studying to be an engineer. I typically think the youth of this country is not good. But this kid gives me hope. I Wish him nothing but success in his future. Great episode
Imagine him pulling up next to someone his own age with their stock charger straigh piped then hearing this kid shoot a rev.
I’m 22 with an 81 f150 I plan on redoing. Just a little 6 cyl 2wd truck but I love it. There’s just something special about hopping behind the wheel of and older vehicle and going for a ride
Doesnt have to to be the best or fanciest, just yours!
Best part is no car payment!
LOVE seeing these builder cars more now. Love the top dollar rides but someone like myself can relate more to these with my own garage build
Love this guy. “Wanna hear it?”
Smashes downshift and side steps the clutch. So cool that he wanted a build he could thrash and put all the time and money into that goal. Sounds incredible to boot.
Haha!
This guy can go to cruise night see the straight piped late models and start going down ea row slamming hoods shut.
Southeat Gasser is so entertaining to watch in person! Feels like a blast from the past!
This car is so bad ass. Best burnout on this channel hands down. Way to be true to yourself. Love it bro.
Great stuff! this is one of the problems with the car scene now it's gotten so expensive young guys cant get in! good on you for giving young guys some attention who are having a crack on a budget!
Love seeing young guys like this keeping the hobby strong!
As an owner of a 67 FB I have owned since HS in the mid 80s, this makes me grin ear to ear and have some hope too for the hobby to keep going 😊🫡
I’m a simple man. I see NASCAR, I click.
This thing sounds like a nascar
That thing leaps when you change gear. Impressive for a 289.
The ford Windsor 289 and the chev Z28 302 are my two faourite engines . Both small and both mighty. I dont run on the ford GM BS. They are both great. This build is awesome.
Thing sounds great I remember driving my 68 Cougar 20 years ago all dune buggied out like this Mustang. As I hit my late 20’s that was when I discovered how much better these classics look when you set them down a bit. This kid is doing good though!
Holy Moses, gives new meaning to drive it like you stole it.....awesome !!
I love it, high revving small block ford power. Music to my ears
I gota say after watching a lot of your videos this is the best so far. That burnout at the end is the best....Hands down. Street racing at its best!!!!
I live near JBA in Kearny Mesa and have seen this thing rip! As a fellow youngish Ford Foxbody/Automotive nut, I salute this guy and I’d love to meet him! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I grew up and went to JBA car shows with my grandpa in the 90s! Such a cool history that place has!
Ethan, Craig “Cwaig” and his friends are so rad!! Makes me happy seeing what they do. Thanks for having them on the show
"LINE LOCK ENGAGED" & THEIR SMILES !!!
What an awesome kid, In these times we need more like this dude!!
Best burn out on Autotopia 👏
Really good one!
That’s one of the best ever.
The first real SBF I built was extremely educational. Roller everything, no friction with a Scat rotating assembly with the GT40 aluminum upper. The thing spun to the limiter at 7250 in no time. I couldn't believe the little thing could rev so well. Love the SBF
Burnout was SUPER BADASS PROSTOCK APPROVED!!!😎👍🏾
