I used to not like the mustang coupes like this but over the last few years I've really learned to appreciate them more. Love the engine combo and the color on this car.
car like. 👍😁😎
Done right they can be really cool. I love how good this one is especially being a true garage build
just needs a '66 shelby gt350 taillight transplant...then it would really stand out!!🤟
Man, what a proud day for this guy. These videos are so much better when the car has deep meaning to the owner. Glen is the epitome of this. One of my favorite episodes. Amazing car, Glen. Truly exceptional.
Hello Coasting. Wow, to say one of your favorite episodes is amazing. Thank you for that! Yes sir this video shoot was an amazing day and one I'm so grateful Shawn made happen for me. Yes sir, the story is what makes this car very sentimental to me. It's going to one of my kids once my days are done. Then they can decide what they want to do with it.
@@g89stang No problem, brotha. I’m building a ‘69 Camaro that I’ve had since the mid ‘90’s so your build struck a chord with me. You’ve done incredible things and your car is astonishing.
@@CoastingOnFumes Thank you my friend! You are way too kind sir. Really appreciate your comments and good luck on your build. It's hard work and can be frustrating at times, but in the end it's all worth it. Especially when you receive comments like the ones you gave sir....
@@g89stang Thank you! Enjoy that badass Stang!
I love a great car but even more when it has a story like Glenn’s
Oh yeah nothing like a Windsor 427ci motor...can never go wrong with that
Reliable motor all the way around
The older I get, the more I like the notchback, square look of these classic cars.
Right. I think it depends on the year also... 65-68 like the notch. 69-73 I think the fastback looks better. 74-78 don't exist, lol. And 79-93 notch.
My absolute favourite body and year of the Mustang’s grand heritage.
What a humble and down to earth guy, and to have built this almost entirely in his garage, huge, huge praise goes to him!!
Absolutely gorgeous ride all together, and yet another great showcase, Shawn!
Thanks and I’m as impressed as you are by the car, the story and Glenn being such a cool guy…and a true garage build!
My god! She’s a clean machine keeps her motor clean! Wow this thing is wicked! Love how the motor looks like a jewel under the hood. Awesome gift he gave ya man! He’s a cool dude!
Thank you G Smith! Very kind of you to say sir! Really appreciate your feedback my friend!
Such a great job with this one and a great story
A garage build for the win!!! Sounds great. Crazy how long he has owned this thing.
He’s owned it since the late 80’s! Love how he did this in his garage
such a beauty…. hell of a respect on the builder…👍👍👍
Same for me…amazing garage build
Love that he retained the Ford small block in his Stang. Good on the owner for building his dream car.
Cool engine choice for sure. Such a nice build
beautiful car love the paint job
Doing a 66 in my garage also...complete tear down and rebuild by me. I'm no professional by any means but loving the process. My "adopted" son (great story behind that...but for another time) gave it to me in 2019. 66 coupe was my first car and I always wanted another one...and he knew that. When he decided to unload it he asked me if I wanted it. I said "of course but how much?". He said come a get it...its yours!!! 🙂🙂
That’s so cool!! Good luck on the build!!
Thank you Robert! Really cool to know others are building classic Mustangs in their garage. So, you know exactly what I went through to build the car.
GREAT VIDEO SHAWN!!!! GREAT GARAGE BUILD!!!!! SHE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PONY!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME DAILY DRIVER!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!
Such a great job on this all being done in his garage!
65-66 Mustang Coupe, chef's kiss.
What an awesome story love it!!! Being an long time mustang fan I love the car to nicely done!!
Big fan of Mustangs, particularly to original body style. Love that it's on old school motor and a stick just makes it perfect. Beautiful car. Looks like a great car to drive too. Be safe and stay well.
Thank you Brian! The car used to have a 347 with a C4. My wife always said a hot rod should not have an automatic in it LOL. So, this time around I opted for the TKO600. So glad I did. So much fun rowing through the gears. Car is a BLAST to drive.
Really a great build and story
I love the way he had the bumpers red, that paint was off the chart, like you said, show room Quality. The Fiesta Flash 🎉
Crazy it’s a garage built garage painted car…so good!!
Thank you Mike! I spent a lot of time prepping the car, painting it with base coat paint and then clear coat. I then used a 7 step process to cut and buff it. Was a TON of work. So, I'm very happy a lot of folks are saying how nice the paint job is.
sweet car GLEN and THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . and what an awesome DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jeff! Very kind of you to say sir. Yes, my Dad has always been a good dude. Except when I was a kid and would piss him off LMAO!!!! He raised me right though :)...
@@g89stang very nice mustang my friend awesome 👍🏼😎
love this channel ! I live in Uzbekistan and when i watch your videos i am in LA enjoying all that beautiful cars
Do you know Borat?
Luv the seats. Great story.
Sweet paint. Metallic Marinara.
Super cool owner, having fun.
Thank you ProSkills! Really appreciate your feedback my friend!
Love the car, but the story about his dad helping him is fantastic! My General Lee has tons of sentimental value due to my mother and my grandparents sacrificing so much for it back when I was 15 years old (1996) so I could have it. Then in 2003/2004 it became a General Lee. Working hard to get it restored and fulfill a dream my whole family has wanted to see realized since 1996! Again, love this car, love the story even more!
Thank you glrestomod! Yes, it always amazing when family helps us realize a dream. I'll always be grateful to my Dad for helping me get this car.
@@g89stang absolutely! Impressive that you did the work yourself too! Much respect to you man! I’ll have to pay and have it done to the ole General Lee😂
@@GLRESTOMOD Thank you brother. I used to think I would have to pay someone, but my brother showed me how to weld and cut metal and do body work. I already knew how to paint and it all came together. Thank you for your VERY kind words!!!
@@g89stang that’s incredible man! Well, you definitely knocked it out of the park on this one! Gorgeous car! I’m glad they featured it!
The stories that come with some of these vehicles are the best
Beautiful. Love that paint scheme. Grew up in a 65 coupe. Perfect combo. Power and style. I'm same age as owner.♥️😎💖💕💞👍🔥
I gotta be honest here. From the beginning to the end of this video…I had a smile on my face! That’s a fun car.
Thank you Lj! That's awesome man! So glad this video had that effect on you sir! I was smiling on the inside the whole time. Shawn seemed like he was smiling on the outside the whole time. That was so cool to see he was having as much fun as I was. This car is too much fun. I love it!
Love it!! It was a really great shoot with Glenn and his Mustang
WOW!...REALLY NICE 65 FORD MUSTANG COUPE!...YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION ABOUT WILL A FORD 427CI ENGINE WILL FIT INTO A 65/66 FORD MUSTANG COUPE!...I like the the Mustang Coupe Body Style!
WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL MY FATHER TOO BOUGHT ME A 66 FORD MUSTANG COUPE FOR $900 BACK IN THE 70's!...IT CAME WITH A 289CI V8 AND A C-4 Auto 3sp TRANS, WITH VINTAGE BURGUNDY EXTERIOR COLOR AND BLACK INTERIOR (BUCKETS SEATS AND CENTER CONSOLE) COLOR!
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES, i LATER FIXED IT UP LIKE A 66 ROYAL BLUE SHELBY GT350 COUPE...I AM JUST SAYING!...I ALSO SERVED IN THE U.S AIR FORCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN THE ARMY, (MY UNCLE WAS A COLONEL IN THE ARMY AND I HAVE A COUSIN WHO RETIRED FROM THE ARMY)...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇
Absolutely beautiful mustang. Very well built as well
Glenn's got himself a really beautiful 65 Mustang and he did a wonderful job building it
One of my favorite sounding Fords on the show
ooh what a sweet ride
Test drive gave me goosebumps. Properly done mustang. Enough said
The 65 can either be bad ass or kinda ugly. This car is stunning. Color is magic and it's so clean. The passion on this build is amazing. I thought the gift was a cool touch.
Thank you again Nick! Very cool of you to say. I agree, the car can be badass or boring if not done right. I'm so stoked most people here have been way more than kind with their comments.
The coup doesn't get the love or recognition the fastback gets and done up right the coup is an awesome Mustang 👍
I agree Ernie. Every time I see a coupe it's not built to this level. However, it seems almost all the fastbacks are built to this level....
This is really nice. Working on my 1968 Coupe to Fastback project and hopefully I will be able to bring it up to this level of quality.
Awesome! Look forward to seeing it
Very nice car! You did a wonderful job! The first thing I thought of was my very own garage built 1965 mustang coupe in Ruby Red. I have the cowl hood and shelby front valance with a 363 stroker. Mine was my first car I ever bought for $600 dollars back in 1995. I just finished restoring it last year. It took 3 years of body work and paint alone so I know what you went through. Lol. Thank you for your service and may God bless you. Again, great build!
Cool build and cool person. Love Mustangs for this reason.
Hello my friend, my name is Ibrahim from Morocco 🇲🇦 I've been following you for a while. I really love this work that you are doing, design, creativity, mastery and the world of cars. I love to try carving 🚗 An old car with mud because you motivate me
Nice car. With family memories attached.
Best builds are garage builds! That is wicked 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Mr. Man! Yeah it was a ton of work, but well worth it in the end. I always say if you think painters or fabricators charge a lot just try doing it LOL. Although it is a lot of work it is so great knowing I did most of the work and did it the way I wanted it.
Nice car an a veteran like myself what a great guy love it
Cool story about his dad! Cool car too.
What a sweet dude man! Awesome ride
Cool guy and really nice garage built car
That's super clean and sounds awesome!
Sounds so good. Especially with the cut outs open
Daaayuuum that is One Badass Ride!!!!
He's a Real Man. God bless him and everyone watching this video.
Sean...!! What an Absolute Jem of a "Home Built Hotrod..!! 2nd too None.. It's as close to Perfect as it gets.. An I'm a Mechanic, an Work at a Ford Dealership.. Standing Ovation Gentlemen.. BRAVO 🥲🥲🥲💪🇺🇸🏁🏆🌎🙌
Wow!!! Thank you Daniel! You are VERY kind sir!
That is a awesome garge build, very nice car 😀👍🏻 glad he got to keep it all these years and finshed to drive it around 👍🏻🤙🏼
So cool that he is out enjoying it after all these years
Beautiful Mustang no doubt. I'm restoring my 93 #coupty Mustang FOXBODY and gonna install a dart shp block with billet main caps 351w/427 with Molnar forged rods Molnar forged crank and weisco forged pistons with tfs 240cc hi port stage 3 KUNTZ racing CNC race port job with stainless works long tubes with a fastxfi set up on pump gas. This video definitely motivates me to finish mine.
Rock on 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Sweet paint, great rims, very nice style
I will always like the cars you showcase. I have nothing but respect for the ones that you're guests build with their own hands. Awesome build, love the story. Lastly the itb manifold is absolutely sexy.
Thank you Rob! I have dreamed about having an 8 stack injection system on my car for years. So happy I was able to make it happen. It was a lot of work building this car. Working on it every weekend and holiday for 2 years was a lot, but now that it's done I wouldn't change a thing LOL.
@@g89stang atta boy. Make sure to enjoy every minute of it. I too have always wanted a mustang so I can only imagine how good it feels to be out ripping around .🤙✌️
The garage builds done on this level really blow me away!
Oh HELL yeah! What a beautiful and awesome car, and you built it in your garage! Well done sir!
Hello Steve! Yes sir, built most of it in my garage. I did have some help as I do not have the tools or skills to do everything, but I'm VERY happy with the results. If you want to see a build compilation video just head over to my RUclips channel and check out some of the videos I have posted.
Fire 🔥!
Great paint job.
Very cool car!!! Glen did an outstanding job, and that paint really shines.
He really killed it with this garage build!
@@AutotopiaLA Dude, I never learned how to text. Oops🙃
As a new RUclipsr, it's intros like this that keep me motivated on the future. The model car has to feel better than any view count. Cheers.
Thank you Jacob for understanding the model was purely a thank you gift for featuring my car on his channel. I was very stoked to be featured on Shawn's channel and wanted him to know how grateful I was.
That model was such a cool surprise!
Honestly, these are the type of builds that cool, not so crazy expensive, attainable with time and patience.
Thank you Michael! You are correct, this type of build is attainable if you put in the labor and follow a plan or idea until the build is completed. I learned a lot building this car and made my fair share of mistakes. However, I am very happy with the results. Really appreciate your feedback and kind words.
Thank you from Texas
My first car was 1964.5 coupe. Dad let me drive it to high school, I landed girls with that stanger 🤠
This thing boogies! Rad car, cool story. Another great video
Bad Ass!!!
Great story and amazing car
Needed some tamed insanity to restore my faith in humanity today and you delivered as always. Glen is great!
Truly nice guy and I love his garage built beauty!
Thank you again Cyber! Really appreciate that sentiment my friend!
@@AutotopiaLA Thank you Shawn! Feeling is mutual! Really enjoyed hanging out with you and your crew. My wife was also impressed with how down to Earth you guys are. You guys are very friendly and fun to be around!
@@g89stang, good vibes abound. Recycle. 🙂
Glen, with all sincerity, from one veteran to another... Thank You for your service 🇺🇸 Absolutely beautiful car, I really love the black tail panel around the taillights, something you don't see very often on older Mustangs! Well done sir 🫡
Hello Gregory. Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for your service as well brother!!! That's the reason the hood has the black stripe over the cowl. Since the taillight panel was black I wanted to tie the front end in some how. And I agree the black taillight panel on these cars looks great....
Beautiful Mustang, sounds wicked.
this is a really nice guy, probably bc he had a cool dad
So happy for you Glenn, been a long time coming and it all paid off IMO. Can't wait to see ya again 🤘🏿
Thank you my friend! Yes sir. It has been a VERY long time coming if you consider the amount of time I owned this car vs the amount of time I have been able to enjoy it! LOL... Yes sir, hopefully next year when the wife and I head back to SD....
Classic after classic!! Great video Shawn 👍🏻
Super cool ! Truly enjoyed
That thing moves
I love a 65 coupe!
I LOVE MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!! YOU GUYS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Bad azz!!!! My mane was making up for lost time getting on it like 10 times 😳😳🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💪🚗💨💨
Looks amazing and sounds amazing!
O YA MAN YOUR ABSALOULY CORRECT THAT'S A BEAUTY OF A GOUGOUS 🐎 MUSTANG GLEN YOU REALLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY BRO ONE RED-HOT 💥💥 PONY 🐎 SWEETER THAN SWEET AMAZING PAINT JOB GREAT JOB
Thank you Billy! really appreciate that amazing comment.
Freaking sweet car great job
Owner is real OG
God this makes me miss my 66 with a 408 stroker in it!!!!
I helped a friend build his 68 Mustang with a 408. Currie 9” and Tremec 5 speed. I’m Mopar, but that 408 stroker was a hell of an engine. He misses his too.
That looks like it would be a blast to own. Great job on a garage build too!! I’m a fan of that year of Mustangs!! Cool car!!
That car is too sweet
I have just got to comment on here. That car is absolutely STUNNING!!!!
Thank you obewon! Really appreciate your comment sir!
Nice build 👌🏿 one of my dream cars !
Absolutely a beautiful car. Sounds soo good. And a great story. Another great video. Can't wait to see what's next.
Such a cool build and story!! And we have some more great builds coming plus SEMA next week!!
Such a cool car. Personally I prefer this notchback (coupe) version than the fastback. He did a great job!
Thank you 3V!
@@g89stang Hey you're welcome!
He really did knock it out!
@@AutotopiaLA Hell yeah!
One of the nicest builds I've ever seen lately, superb work and set-up and sounds delicious with the muffler by-pass, one very beautiful Mustang, great job and the best of life to ya man! Cheers from BC Canada
Thank you. Very kind of you to say. I appreciate your comments and feedback.
That is stunning. That is my dream car. One day i will own one.
Hello Chris. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Keep your dream alive and you will achieve it. Remember my car sat from 91 to 2010 before I was able to start building it and making my dream come true.
Outstanding!
Wow,Wow,, what a stunning Mustang an story, well built an it's what he dreamed of...beautifull
Thank you Kyle!!! Appreciate you like my car and story. Thank you for saying it's well built. I spent every weekend and holiday for 2 years working on it. I'm no expert, but I did my best and did a lot of research to learn techniques and the correct way to do things.
I'm lovin it.
@9:37 _I hardly ever get to do this._ That was so cool that you brought the bail money to free this brother! 🙂
Thank you Cyber! Yeah, I just finished this build 5 months ago. The car barely had just over 100 miles on the build during this shoot. So, I have driven it normally to find the bugs and gremlins, but I really haven't been able to drive it hard. So, it was a blast for me.
@@g89stang, that's what it's all about, yes? Peace and enjoy.
Very nice
Oh I see at the 7:34 mark your getting some b roll footage! Grinding! 🙌
Beautiful built car.
Beautiful build 🙌 and amazing wheel choice 👌
Thank you Mike! Yeah, I was going back and forth between this wheel with the knock offs or the non-knock offs. The difference in price was huge. But my wife said buy the ones and want and then I'll have them. So, I pulled the trigger and I'm so happy I did. I love those wheels!!!
@@g89stang yea dude I never seen a set of those and I completely agree with what you said about Eleanor 👌 , love everything about your build dude especially the intakes on the motor.
Cool dude!
Great story and car
Helluva am idle sound 👂!!
Nice 👍!
Thank you!
I would've loved to hear him go into detail on how he was able to achieve that paint result...beautiful
Let’s just say HOURS MANY HOURS and patience which Glen has a lot of!! One of my best friends I know!!
Hello Kimo. I have some compilation videos on my channel if you want to see what I did and how I did it. The easiest way to put it is I sanded the old paint using 400 grit and then 600 grit and fixed all my bad spots with body filler. I spot primed it with 2K primer and then wet sanded with 600 grit. I taped off areas such as my glass with plastic. I sprayed 4 coats of paint and 4 coats of House of Kolor clear. I wet sanded the clear with 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000 and 8000. Then I used the 3M 3 step polishing system to get that paint smooth and shinny. It was a ton of work, but so worth it.
@@baronrich42 Thank you brother!!!
My man sounds like EL chuco town. Fort Bliss💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾E 3/43 ADA 11TH BDE, A 3/2 ADA , A 1/1 ADA, HHB 31st BDE. 2000-2007. Nice car.

Awesome build!!
Thank you J! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Very nice build, two thumbs up for the owner!👍👍
Thank you Julio! It was a lot of work, but so cool the majority of folks are providing very positive comments. Greatly appreciated my friend.
