What a wonderful world we live in where it's possible to buy a brand new, tech updated 1968 Ford Mustang. Seriously, what an accomplishment by Revology. So cool.
My thoughts exactly. Incredible.
Great now make an affordable one
But it isn't a classic mustang. This is to a classic mustang what the Disney castle is to a European keep.
@@72cut13 it’s a free country, go make your own affordable one. Stop relying on others to do things to your liking.
@@O-plaat Doesn't say it is classic anywhere.
In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of Mustang styling!
Mustang
Mustang
Sixty Eight!
I agree.
The first car I fell in love with as a kid. Don't know if it was a '67 or '68, but it doesn't matter. I have loved the look of this iteration since I was 3!
Me too. I had a '65 Mustang, but liked the '67 styling better.
I wonder why they don't make the 69-70 Mustangs, all body parts including completed bodies are available from the same source...
67 was the pinnacle IMO
The most tasteful "resto-mod/replica" Mustang ive ever seen. The 17 inch wheels are the perfect size and type. Fabulous!
Agreed - most of the idioitc ones running arouns with 20+ look ridiculous
@@gbmwaz yes, those giant wheels always look rediculous and out of proportion and people think they look good. Yuck
Thank goodness for how nostalgia actually works. I owned a '68 Mustang fastback with a 302 (first year, I believe, after the 289). I had it for no more than six months. It was great to look at, but no fun to drive. It rattled and squeaked, it was slow (due in no small part to the auto box), handled poorly, and - the last straw - had a shock tower failure, something known to happen. For those complaining about what Revology's works of art cost, this is EXACTLY what it takes to build something that actually meets those expectations of the cobweb-filled memories we carry around. Production cars until relatively recently were all made to squeeze out as much profit as possible. They were entertaining, but there were no real alternatives for the money. To create the ideal early Mustang we have in our heads is going to cost what it costs. Only a few will own them, but at least they can. And at least the rest of us get to watch!
Well done I'd say..
I have owned a 66 with a 289 for years now and I find driving it very enjoyable with only a handful of mods. It really doesn't take 100.000k to make a classic mustang fun.
yes 68 was 1st year for the 302. I had a 69 mustang coupe with a 1968 code 302.
Everyone who wants one shpuld get one. Scarcity and price are driven by the market setter at the top of the food chain that dont want us to have nice things.
Proof of what i am saying is the man made over i flation since covid.
Its manipulation. Things dont have to cost ao much and those dreams should be accessible to a 20yo who like that and want one.
I ordered a Revology ‘66 GT350H and took delivery in November 2020. Great car, fast (GenIII Coyote/Tremec T56 4.10 gears) and it handles fantastic. The quality and post sale support is excellent. I have a ‘70 Boss 429 on order as they now do ‘69-‘70 Boss 302 and 429. The Boss ‘9 uses the same drivetrain as this ‘68 Cobra Jet. Yes, they cost as much as Ferrari. However, the feel and nimbleness of an early Mustang with a modern drivetrain, suspension, and brakes with OEM reliability is beauty in the eye of the beholder.
You Sir, are a lucky guy & I wish you well....
Your video on yours is very cool, especially the build still shots 👍👍
You wouldn't happen to be looking to adopt a 60 year-old child, would you? Dad?
@@MrWayneJohn1 haha!
their web site doesn't say anything about a Boss
My first car was a 68 Mustang Notchback with the 302, green with black vinyl top.
My dad got it for me when I was 15 for 500 bucks with blown out ball joints and electrical issues.
Dad said you got 1 year to fix it and get it going for your behind the wheel test at DMV..
Needless to say I learned about fixing cars pretty fast, no internet just books.
I passed the test behind the wheel on my 16th. birthday.
Man I Loved That Mustang and Thought It Was The Coolest Car Ever!
The Cars Name Was Todd! LOL😂
Mine was a 66 with a 200 6cyl, c4 I got for a graduation present in 78.
I put a 68 302 In it and everything was a direct swap . All parts fit, even the drive shaft, the same c4 3 sp.
Only problem I had was I stomped on the gas to smoke the tires and it tore the old motormount out!
That Had To Suck, Sorry Brother!@@kevinkinney5445
Todd?!?
this one time...... at band camp.........
Who names their car Todd? A male name no judgement here but weird
Fantastic to see Revology on JLG. I have car number 17 built by Tom, the 1st right hand drive build and export to the UK., 350GTH and I absolutely love it. Congrats Tom and the team. If I had the spare cash I would definitely have one of these Cobra Jet’s.
Jay is so right about cars from the 60’s, my HS parking lot was full of them in the 80’s. They all rattled, barely stopped, handled like a living room and always needed something fixed. I think we romanticize having them more than actually enjoyed driving them. This version is just incredible.
They were easy to work on and cheap to service. Sounded good and had lots of room. Everybody could afford a car. That is not fantasy or nostalgia.
So true.
@@danielleclare2938 They were all done before 150k miles too. Plenty of total garbage that looked great from the 60s and 70s.
That explains why so many are still around to this day..oh wait.... whatever Mr. Garbage Man. @@henryknox4511
LMAO "handled like a living room"! Truth!
these guys are smart: they preserve the beauty in automotive industry and build something that will never be out of fashion
If they can get the price down to around $125,000-150,000 i think they will do really well.
And then they put the ugly oversized wheels on it. (Functional or not)
@@siffoine When you have 700 HP you need big brakes, and you can't do that with small wheels. It is what it is.
@@robertgutheridge9672
To get the price down to that they will most likely need to move manufacturing outside of the US, OR quality will need to take a hit
Capitol letter please at the start of a sentence, I do not want to see you doing this again ! 😮
great to listen to a humble person talk about the awesome car they hand make with quality.
long live the stang.
thx Jay.
I worked with Tom when he was the marketing mgr. at Ford's Special Vehicle Team, during their heyday. 2003 "Terminator", Mustang Cobra, 5.4 Supercharged Lightning F-150, SVT Contour, Focus and the 04-05 Ford GT. Super nice guy!
Tom is a wonderful guy. The entire family is great people. His brother Paul built a race track in the area called Circuit Florida.
this company needs more investors and more workers and machining pump these suckers out lol.
Hand made? Multiple times in the video they talk about the assembly line process they have and right at the beginning talk about the automated spot welding.......
The dems. In Washington DC. Work tirelessly to
Regulat good business like this.
Had a 70 version of this car for a few months while fixing it to sell for a friend and it was wicked fast. 428scj with top loader and 4:11.gears.
Wish I had it back but Oh the Memories.
Absolutely beautiful. I’d take that over any new Mustang any day! I’m 42 with 23 years experience in the ambulance industry with specialities in electrical engineering, fabrication and upholstery work. I wish I worked for this company!
The perfect Mustang. The only negative aspect is the 300.000 bucks price tag.
Jesus Christ
WOW
Wait...What....A "Mere" $300K --- I"LL TAKE TWO" ! ! !
Agreed, but seems to be the going rate. Icon cars are well over $200K. When you can only make 60 a year, and you have 120 people on the payroll, it costs a lot. Ask any employer.
Perfection: It takes what it takes.
Everything on that car is literally perfect.
apart from the handling .
even the door gap cave-ins of the original.
it has the shittiest manual lmao.. they couldve got tremec from dark horse but they didnt.. dissapointing
Wish the vent window was real. I miss them.
For the price the car should be perfect.
The attention to detail is amazing on this car. Front and rear spacing from tire to fender, the steering wheel, door hinges, and those gauges…outstanding.
The head rests should be higher! Where they are at now you would break your neck if hit from the rear!
Probably the most knowledgeable guest I have seen on this show and what a car!!! Just fabulous.
68 fastback is my favorite Mustang. This was amazing.
I'd have this car over a McLaren any day, the classic styling of the Mustang with modern running gear and build quality is perfect.
Amazing. That engine note speaks volumes. What a superb piece of work!
This is exactly the Mustang I want but better in the fact that it is new. NO need to restore. Amazing and very pleasing to know this company exists. My dreams are growing. Thank you.
Buddy of mine had a 68 1/2 GT with the 428CJ which was the first Ford to get the Cobra Jet. I drove that car many times and it was definitely one of the strongest running cars from Detroit..
68 1/2 was also the first factory ram air in the Mustang.
This is the ultimate automobile, the style of a classic, with the drivability, and reliability of modern technology all in one package. Beautiful car!
I like what this guy is doing, sticking to a process to control quality. The spec on this particular car is beautiful. Love the wheel and tire choice as well as the quality interior.
Oh my. Absolutely would take this over any new supercar.
Yum!
Same. But it will also cost you as much as a supercar.
I had a 68 FB 390 GT for years...bought it in 1978...put a built 428SCJ in it...got married...got divorced...had to sell it...I've been missing it every day since 1986...
Bringing a woman into your life is as crazy as agreeing to juggle a hand-grenade that's missing its pin, every-single-guy I knew, was friends with, worked with, you name it, have all had their lives decimated by some delusional, impossible to satisfy tramp who forced them back into their grandmother's basement or onto my couch after a lifetime of hard work, yeah no thank you to any of that for me. Anything I've ever wanted i just went out and bought without having to ask Mommy if it was ok or worrying about waking up in the street one day😮
@Loosecannon1969 ....eh...it all worked out. The current wife of 37 years has a Mustang GT convertible, and I've got a GT coupe...
@@JoeBilello1969BS dude, plenty of proper women out there, just gotta look harder. Don't know why everybody you knew never found anyone, but everybody I KNOW found a fantastic woman - that supports their man in any way possible.
@@miSc_dk Yeah, I believe that and I definitely believe that it's also all about location location location as well, so having said that you can trust me when I tell you that New York City has absolutely nothing to offer in the way of "good women" but I had no control over who's nuts I was swimming in. As you're growing up you get settled in and make a life for yourself, but if I knew better back then I would've tried a lot harder to get the hell out of this toilet bowl long before it took its toll on me and my life. This place is nothing but "trash-bag central" and would be the absolute last place I would recommend anyone trying to raise a family, you'd be lucky to find a decent human being PERIOD!!! So you and your friends lives were quite different and I'm absolutely sure you didn't grow up in a shithole like this.
@@JoeBilello1969There are 49 other states to choose from, not to mention millions of different places. If all you ever do is look under rocks, don't complain about the creepy things you find there.
I remember lifting long doors by their handle so it would latch 😂
Jay is so good at this. His knowledge puts the guests on their toes and their gears constantly going to keep up. Even in the sponsored videos, he's not letting them off easy. I love the candid shop talk.
this is amazing! you can tell that car rides and runs nice. look at how the suspension just flows with the tires while moving. gorgeous!
Jay is so right about comparing old and new-I like my 40, 50, 60 year old motorcycles but sure do appreciate my newer ones! Unless you are around the originals, it is hard to fathom the difference!!!
funny you mention newer ones. Just helped a guy who had some newer type racing bike. He left a light on that drained the battery while he was at a restaurant. I gave him a jump start, but he had to wait a long time before he could drive it, due to an electronic transmission that needs full battery power to shift into gear. His date was not impressed, nor was I.
@@tompastian3447 HAH! YUP! new ones depend on the battery-it goes, the bike is dead! Hard to beat the old Magneto system-reliable and you got a great workout kickstarting it!!!!
My first car was a Mustang, my brother helped me put a 351W in it. I spent 4 years replacing every grommet and seal making it 1966 new. I fought every minute when I had to sell the car. If ever i could afford another 1966, this is MY DREAM....wow, what an Amazing car... thank you for sharing. What a beautiful car.... Good work !
I worked on the original stuff as not to many around in a rual area, but theses guys have me wishing to work there in Florida at the beginning as an ASE Master Tech. I love doing it correctly the first time. God Bless you Tom!
Been following this company for a while now...Tom and team are really putting proper innovation into mustangs and they all show a labor of love.
Since you know the company. I have a question. They say the bodies are new. Where do they get the panels from? Ford still stamps out '68 Mustang panels? The tooling and presses for them to stamp out those panels themselves would cost 100 million dollars or more. I find both options highly unlikely. So where do the new panels come from?
@@LuckyBaldwin777Dynacorn is the company that manufactures officially licensed '65 to '70 Mustang bodies.
It’s not a dynacorn body
What is it?@@07swbxrunner
@@LuckyBaldwin777 The panels are mostly made by taiwanese companies. The market for parts for the old Mustangs are so big most parts are being reproduced by the aftermarket, including body panels. But non of these parts are the same quality as used by Ford in the 60s.
Tom Scarpello the King of Less Is More Club!! Another Beautiful Work of Art from Your Shop Here In Beautiful Florida!!! This car is makes all the dealerships on Clark Road look like a joke here in Sarasota!!! Great Job Tom and Thank You 🙏!!!
Tom's videos for Revology are outstanding. Thanks for having him on your channel.
Very cool car! So refreshing to listen to knowledgeable well spoken gentlemen talking about something they love.
Love how Jay nailed the throttle as if to say , Enough Talk! 24:00 mark.
First off, the sound of the exhaust is priceless......I can't get enough of that sound.....I also had no idea that a company was making these from scratch....wow....there is soooooooo much to love about this....and much like building a home many important items are ones you don't see....this car and this car company is just outta site......great episode!
I watch this for a couple of reasons. Jay is a genuine likeable guy and he has real class and good taste in cars. Not to mention the amazing cars he features and the knowledge you get from him. So far this episode is my favorite because I have a love for Ford muscle cars and the mustang is in the top 3 of all muscle cars. Plus I recently saw an add on UA-cam for this company and I was really curious and Jay just did a thorough test drive and brought me along. I'm giddy.
Amazing homage to a great classic. To my eye the '67,'68 fastbacks had the nicest lines. Just beautiful. To make a living doing this kind of trade in life...that's a good life in this world. Whole lot better and more fun than most jobs.
I love that design...720hp from an icon of the 60s...it doesn't get any better than that ❤❤
710 H.P !
I love this! My second car was a 1967 289 Mustang Coupe I and my brother restored and modded. It was forest green with modified Cobra stripes (narrowed and straightened a bit to make the coupe look longer). Now I'm looking at the Revology website and salivating. Had my brother lived longer, I think he'd either be running his own shop or working for a guy like this. This brings back such great memories and good times! And at around $300k, a bit pricey, but the satisfaction of the ride would be priceless. As soon as I win big in Las Vegas, I'm buying one, or two, or maybe three... ❤
My dad and I got a 67 mustang fastback, beautiful metallic blue when I was 15 and once running it was my first car. Miss that car and the time we had together working on it. Thankful for that time.
Had a 67 coupe about the same color. Got it for 950 bucks in 1986 when I was 15. Kept it until I was 25. Have missed it every since. Maybe one day I will own another. Thanks Jay for a great show. I always enjoy myself when watching your show.
Has to be the nicest Mustang I’ve ever seen ! I’m getting old at 65 but that car puts a Smile on my face. What a Great Car , way to go 🇺🇸👍 ! Absolutely Beautiful !
Fundamentally it is more of a mustang body than mustang. But it appears to be extremely well done. Nothing done that is a surprise to those that like to modernize these cars, but nice to see more people providing a turn key option for this kind of modernization. Personally, I am all for these sort of modernization of the higher volume classic models. Keeps the look alive without the headaches of owning a 50+ year old car that drives crap compared to a modern car. And in 20 years, I hope the 2000's rattle buckets of today get the same treatment, although the construction of that era of cars was not as robust as the 60's vehicles and by then the thing to do may be EV swaps.
I'm right behind you on age. Very nicely done car, but I sure can't afford it.
@@Comet-hn3gm me either, it’s just a Dream ! What a wonderful car, it puts a Smile on my face.
Watched this video it felt like 10min went by rather than 30. Great episode.
I have a 79 fox with a stock motor, just a cam in it, maybe have 225 HP. Love it, cant imagine what 700hp feels like.
Without abs or stability control? Scary. What a dumb decision to not include it.
someone that cares how a car is built... this guy is awesome
I'll never forget..my first car at 16..1969 candy apple red..Black diamond tucks seats auto in floor ( when that was cool cause it was new) and best..302..but it wasn't the boss..but for a little punk kid it was GREAT...thanks in heaven dad...
I would choose this Mustang over a McLaren, Lamborghini, or Porsche in a heartbeat! I had a 1971 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland engine and ram air hood scoops, but my preference was always the '68 Mustang GT. Thanks for sharing Jay.
Had a 70 Torino fastback with a Cleveland. But the car was a boat. Plus a automatic. But sounded good once I put headers on her.
I hear ya ,definitely rather cruise around in this baby ,she has way more character than any of those exotic motors, even with the new chassis shes just way more intresting and alot easier to manouvre in town and parking 😅
I love the '69 Boss 429! I would love to see Revology offer a version of that!
According to another post, they now do the 69-70 Boss 429. Bet it is pricy tho.
@@waynekaminski5438Like 300k isn’t?
This is PERFECTION for me! All new. But it looks exactly like the old classic beauty! AMAZING!
I got my '68 Mustang Fastback running this year after sitting under a tree for 17 years. It was my highschool car in the late 90s and daily driver into the 00s until my father gifted me a Subaru when he bought a new car. One of these days my Fastback will be roadworthy again hopefully! As it is now I'm just glad it runs and can drive around the neighborhood.
Amazing build with phenomenal insight to new tech and staying as true as possible to the original. Wow. Thanks for sharing.
I had a 1968 Mustang GT 390 High Performance with a 4 speed. I miss that car, and I very much LOVE this car. I WANT ONE!!!!
The 428SC/J was the way to go.
Revology is awesome. I've been watching them a long while, and they're so impressive.
I owned a few mustangs from 1965 to 1972, they were designed on the cheap from not so good to ok. Love them.
This one is simply perfection of a Mustang!
I just cant think of how to get it better.
Finest Mustang I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot!
Great to finally see Jay review the Revology Mustang! Beautiful.
This is the car every " motor head " dreamed about and through the years only gets better and better. I knew a guy in high school who had one and we all wanted to have a chance to drive it ! Beautiful muscle car !
Beautiful vehicle! My first car was a '68 Mustang!
Hey Jay Leno, you're looking great! Thank you for your enthusiasm!
Determination and humility shine in every video. Keep thriving.
I would take this car over a super car any day of the week. Nothing will ever come close to the feel and fun of driving a classic Mustang.
It isn't a classic. It is a completely modern car with classic body work. It feels and drives nothing like a classic Mustang.
@@1965Porsche356C Just don't hit anything with it.
What? Read my sentence over. I said a classic Mustang. Not this one.
The F40 is 100x better than this "Mustang".
@@basshead.if ure gay maybe
From hundreds of restomod Mustangs I've seen this authentic replica is another level in every aspect. What a gorgeous beauty!
I'm a local city truck driver for a major LTL carrier and frequently deliver to Revology. The facility is so impressive and I often see finished Mustangs and ones in production, I'm not even a Ford guy but if I could buy one I would.
"Making Them Better Than They Were".
Finally! A better tag line than "actually drivable".
Congrats to Tom for getting this great car in front of the biggest and broadest car loving audience. This more than makes up for the Foose Oops video...
Thanks Tom and Jay!
Fantastic episode. Tom is so articulate. Jay is an enthusiast's treasure. Well done, gentlemen, PLUS the car is drop-dead gorgeous.
Love what they are doing with the mustang. Beautiful work guys. And thx Jay.
Sheesh! What a beautiful car! Love it! Awesome sound and finish. Looks stunning on the road. There's just something about a Mustang! Especially one of this quality!
Thanks Jay 👌👌🙏🙏
Boy I've got to say I'm impressed! Just about exactly what I'd want in a reproduction Mustang. Thanks for the vid Jay!
Great segment. Congratulations to Revology. Looks like an amazing product.
Best guest yet. Nicely done Jay. A beautiful piece of work-
I would have loved for you put the car on the lift so we could see the suspension it sounds fantastic and an important part of the car’s character
THAT is a goddamn masterpiece.
Great build, you can see the care and research was done in every aspect of the car. As a gear head if I could afford to have an exotic or this vehicle, hands down this would be what I would buy! It is sorted out, reliable and you have all the styling that us of a certain age can truly appreciate because we remember the original versions and all the quirks and idiosyncrasies of them, which this builder has addressed, refined and improved on every level! Now where’s my lottery tickets because I want one of these!
All the cars from back then are unique and special. Enjoyed this video.
Couldn't be better! Thanks
I thought, "Geez, that's a lotta money for a Mustang." But then you realize that to do a resto-mod on an existing '68 to that level of quality and engineering, you're easily looking at $500K. Not exactly a bargain, but not bad in the greater scheme of things.
I really noticed how beautifully lit the car was in the glamour shots...Kudos to the crew! Thanks again to Jay and the crew for another great episode, and thanks to Tom for sharing his car and vision with us! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
P.S.; hugs to Mavis!
Enjoyed! Great interview and very knowledgeable interviewee.
what a great episode … enjoy experts talk … proud of them … the car is inspiring … i am going to get one asap
ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂
That’s a stunning car! The design was beautiful back in the 60s and still looks so cool today. Great to see a company like this doing such great work. Thanks a lot Jay for sharing this video 👍
Amazing! I own a Mustang 67 FB 390 GTA since a couple of years and its really a dream car. Now a revology mustang would be a great addition as a daily driver for me!
It has a beautiful paint job. Love the color and how lustrous the finish is.
I think this is a bit more of a reimagined GT500. Like Singer.
As a Mustang lover, this car makes me want another one. I had a '68 coup back in the days and fell in love with them, despite the problems. It actually made me understand cars and how they worked as I replaced the parts. Should have seen the look on my shop teachers face when I brought it in for an oil change. The more I look at this car, the more I drool. This just proves how the Mustang and the looks of it, make the '60's and early '70's the most desirable, kinda like the music.
I am impressed with
the quality.
Good video, lots of memories.
Very cool and glad that Tom is making these. Making 60 officially Ford licensed cars per year for those die hard Baby Boomers who can afford it.
300k a piece
Not a ford guy but damn that’s beautiful. This guy gets its. A true driver
The dash and guage clusters are eye popping gorgeous and the push button radio and steering wheel....wow, then the door close solid not tinny, nice work!
WOW! What a beautiful shade of Blue! This one would look good on Woodward!
MASTERPIECE MADE IN AMERICA 🇺🇸. GREAT WORKMANSHIP 👍
love Jay he tells the same stories over and over.. we will miss him when he's gone.
Beautiful past and present work of art.
The 10r80 is an awesome transmission. Just went on a winding road trip in my 22 GT and that transmission is so smart and intuitive. No regrets not going manual.
Nearly $300,000! Definitely a rich man's toy, bet a lot of these go to the Middle East.
Honestly, wish I could afford it, for a lot of reasons. New cars all look alike and, with few exceptions, have completely lost any sense of style. This is a '68 Mustang bodied, modern car. Sweet!
With the body panels made in Taiwan. Entirely different suspension. It's not a replica nor is it repro, it's a homages, a lookalike.
Absolutely gorgeous wheels. Haven't seen a set so spot on for the longest time. Well done!
I’ve watched this three times. I am still mesmerized.
A work of art.
Oh the memories. I learned to drive in a 64 1/2 Mustang Convertable with the 289HO engine and 4 and the floor.
Oh the horrors of the memories -- as soon as I turned 16, dad sold the mustang and replaced it with a '72 Chevy Vega Kammback. 2.0 liter aluminum block (may be 80 HP) 4 speed. 0-60 for the Vega -- yes -- it would hit 60, sometimes 62 before the hi-way off ramp.
I loved that Mustang, dad put on Thrush Glass Packs and you could here that car coming 5 miles away. Clutch was gawd aweful, it would chatter like a the axle would start to tramp. First gear was one that taught you how to drive a stick, feather the throttle, and slip the clutch. Engine was sweet, the 289 is a wonderful motor. Only real issue we had was the car has a terrible habit of hogging in the middle and the doors would sometimes stick, or not be able to shut. Dern unibody and Minnesota Road Salt just did not play nice together.
