Don't care what people think I love the MK2! [and the Pinto] Love that early/mid seventies look! - Charlies Angels may have been an influence on me! The MK2 was available here in the UK where the rusted away before your eyes!
That was some video! That was work! I commend you. You backed up the information with excellent graphics and video. That was impressive to put all this together. When you did the 1970's I remember those from the television series Charlie's Angels. I remember many other years because people I knew owned them. The horsepower kept going up over time. The 70's and 80's were low points for power, but it kept rising. You covered Mach E too. again impressive and thank you. I already told you the cars I would like to see some day( Oldsmobile 98 and Toronado and Pontiac Bonneville and Parisienne and some other products). Thank you again.
Lots of great information! But... one fact check for you: @ ~28:12 you describe the 2016 vintage Shelby Cobra 350 with the 5.2 Liter 526 HP "Voodoo" V8. This engine was NOT supercharged... It was naturally aspirated featuring larger 94mm plazma sprayed bores, a 12.0:1 compression ratio, and a unique "cross-plane" crankshaft that enabled peak power at 8250 rpm.
Fascinating review. I always wanted an early Mustang GT with the pony interior but never afford one at the time. Later, I had an 89 GT Convertible with 5 speed and it was a fun car but eventually I sold it and moved on. Today, I have a 2010 GT with 5 speed. Loaded car with only 9k. My nephew bought it new so I know the car. I really like that car. It is silver with black interior and has the premium leather interior with Nav and super sound system. I really enjoy the sounds of the machine instead of annoying sound system.
I've always heard it was marketed first as the 5.0 for the 78 king cobra. Most of the engine lineup was fuel injected by 86 but the NA 2.3 was still carbureted, it had a junk computer controlled single barrel carter yfa, switched to fuel injection and a dual plug head in 87. Although there were no mechanical changes from 1992 to 1993 (aside from hypereutectic pistons replacing the previous forged aluminum pistons), both the horsepower and torque ratings dropped for ‘93 - horsepower by 20 and torque by 25. The reduced ratings were influenced by a stack-up of minor mechanical changes and by changes to Ford’s engine evaluation processes. Dictated mainly by emissions, fuel economy and customer satisfaction requirements, a series of mechanical revisions had been made since Ford initially assigned the engine’s 225-horsepower rating for 1987. These include a restrictive resonator added to the inlet tract (1987-1993) that produced a 5-7 horsepower loss. The small camshaft profile change in 1989 reduced HO output by 3 horsepower. The restrictive mass airflow meter in the inlet tract introduced in 1989 yields 2-3 horsepower less than the speed density system. Some minor exhaust system revisions made between 1987-1993 also add up to another small reduction in engine output. The second contributing factor in the re-rating of the ‘93 V8 involved changes in the processes that Ford used to select engines for testing and the engine’s state of dress (with all engine-driven accessories) during testing. Combined with the ‘87-93 mechanical revisions, the revised-for-1993 testing procedures add up to the ‘93 model year’s reduced output ratings. So technically if you put them on an engine dyno they make the same power as the year before
I have own a 1999 SVT Cobra since May 1999 when I purchased it new. On this video you said IRS came out in 2003 . While it’s true the supercharger came out that year the IRS came out in 1999. My SVT has IRS and that was one of the reasons I purchased it. I had a recall because Ford made a mistake routing the exhaust over the IRS and the HP ratings were of the advertised 320. After the recall I had it dyno tuned and it improved to 299rw without any modifications other than the exhaust. The IRS came out in 1999.
Yup ,thought it was a Shelby at first then I saw the less aggressive hood and realized it was a grabber blue gt ,might have been a test drive from the dealer nearby or some sort of press car

Really liked your video. However when you talked about the 2015 mustang GT 350 you claimed it was a 5.2 L voodoo turbo charged engine. We all know that it is not turbocharged it’s naturally aspirated other than that great video.
And lotsa money. I had a '67 I bought brand new. .list price was $3100.00, with my trade in picked it up for $ 2ooo,but a few months later I went to war. After 3 years in my mother kept it, and finished off the payments so I got it back when I returned home....how lucky can one man get ?
@13:44_13:55 my fav ones 1974-75 mach 1 if dads would by there kids a new car for there 16 birthday Mutang II saved the mustang as the 71-73 was a tank
When I was a kid we had two neighbors with mustangs. One was a green 66 notchback with a vinyl top, hubcaps and whitewall tires, the other was a 76 blue on white Cobra II. I bet you can guess which one got my attention.
For all the criticism of the 74-78 years, the 76-78 Cobra is still a great looking and aggressive muscle car. It's a shame it was gutless and power didn't match styling. It's better looking than the fridge-box Mach 1, but it's too bad it didn't have the performance of that model.
@@thehopelesscarguy the 8th gen Mustang more likely debuts for the 2030 model year if its still in production at that point many long produced automotive nameplates are up on the chopping block in the next several years or are being transitioned to electric etc. for example Chevrolet was going to discontinue the Malibu after 2023 but after it sold 115,468 in 2022 GM Corporate begged them not to cancel it Hyundai may discontinue the Sonata in 2028 after 40 years in production
I think they are planning on phasing out all cars in favor of Trucks/SUVs. The hope is that the public will accept the Mach E, so that they can still have a Mustang.

It seemed Ford was sponsoring almost everything in the mid 70s, but I suspect Charlies Angels got them much more business than say, Barnaby Jones.

my first car in 1983 was beautiful 64 coupe 289 3 speed.i really miss that car.
I bet.
@22:40 The original bullit was a 68, not a 67. You can see the side markers and side trim for that year in the clip you used.

They didn't make 1400+ 69 Boss 429...that was total production for both years.
I always thought the sequential tail lights were from the cougar too. They actually originated on the Tbird apparently.
Yep.

My mistake.
I love how the fox body mustangs had 4.9 lite v8 and were badged 5.0. Everyone was fooled
They were not the only ones to round up. I personally find the 402 Chevelles badged as 396SS a more interesting case imprecise badging.
I wish I owned , one of each . I'd need a big garage
You and me both.
