  • Shelby. It's a word that provokes a sense of performance. Most of us have owned or know somebody who has owned a @Ford Motor Company #mustang. Today, we take a collection tour with Gary Thomas, owner of one of the, if not the, best Shelby car collection in the world. Gary's collection includes, Mustangs, hot rods, ford hypercar and supercars, and other Ford performance cars.
    WATCH PT 3. HERE: • WE FOUND The Largest F...
    The #Ford Mustang has been in continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Currently in its sixth generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines.
    Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch.
    The success of the Mustang launch led to multiple competitors from other American manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (1967), AMC Javelin (1968), and Dodge Challenger[9](1970). The Mustang also had an effect on designs of coupés worldwide, leading to the marketing of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States.
    Through its production, multiple nameplates have been associated with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, Cobra (separate from Shelby Cobra), and Bullitt, along with "5.0" fender badging (denoting 4.9 L OHV or 5.0 L DOHC V8 engines).

Sheesh, it was Uncle Henry that gave the world the mass-produced V8 in the 32s, in the first place; so why do puss nuts put puss in them when there's a plethora of great FORD 8's to slot in. If I was ole Henry, I'd be ghosting those slackers !! I get REALLY BENT OUT OF SHAPE ON THIS ISSUE !!!

    Cooooool to see some historical Mustangs. But a hardcore Ford guy would not allow a Chevy engine to be mounted in any Ford, no matter how cool.
    It is hard to find pure anymore. There will always be that Chevy small block that the cheap simpletons use, that creeps its way into the Ford arena!
    I usually see some great old Fords of the 30s and 40s, but they have that little Judas motor winking at you! Surprise, Surprise! Shazam!
    A Boss 351 engine has a hotrod appearance and beauty greater than any I have seen in over 60 years! Sorry man! I just don't like potato head cars and never will.
    I did love the 32 pickups!!! Pure as can be. I would like to find shabby one for a daily driver some day!
    Hey man! All in fun from a die hard Ford guy! GOD BLESS YOU ALL..................JAZZIFIED IN JESUS! =KL=
    PS Would have been great to have won that Cobra for myself. But, It is probably best that he won it so we all can go and take a peek at it someday.
    It is best for it to be inside the museum and preserved by someone who knows how. Just say'in!
    Looks like he is hiding some Cushman's in the back room too!
