That '66 Alan Mann car is one of the all-time greats. Nothing sounds better than a full race 289 screaming down the straights. Mark seems like an awesome guy. He must have worked very hard to be able to amass that kind of collection.
I am 56 and felt goosebumps everywhere!! The Alan Mann GT 40 is outrageous!
Dennis and Jay. Gotta be the best presenters of great cars on YT.
My favorite car of all time! Well done Dennis!
mine 2
That 289 sounded so awesome. Thanks guys for doing this.
I've never seen Dennis scared driving someone else's car. About time!
I know the 427 GTs were uncatchable but that 289 GT would have been great at LeMans being lighter and better on fuel. Thanks for this Dennis.
i can recognize a massachusetts from a mile away & this guy has one.i lived there for 37 years.
I grew up they-ah
He's got a lot of "cahs".
Had the pleasure of meeting Mark at his Museum and viewed an amazing collection of rare muscle cars and racers. Fantastic!
Should have given it THE BEANS Dennis ! Chassis 1071 was powered by a Gurney/Weslake headed Smallblock 302, and won the LeMans 24hr TWICE, both in '68 and '69, makeing it the only two time back to back winner !!
Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada
FORD
First On Race Day
Unfortunately, the bad ones are just as memorable.
FORD
Found on road dead
Fix or repair daily
Fifth on race day
Bonus- CHEVROLET
Clearly hear every valve rattle on long extended trips
The owner kept telling him to give it some gas.. He was hurting it more than anything.. Man that was so raw!! No abs, no traction control, no fuel inj. Visceral!!
Awesome Dennis, great show ,and guest.
We can read all sorts ok books but always something new to learn. I have two books on Alan Mann but i dont recall reading about that car. Thanks Dennis
The crazy thing the old still gives the new a run for the money. And sometimes better.
As an S.F. Forty-Niners fan, I'm giving it two thumbs up for the red/gold/white livery.
Great job Dennis and crew. 👍🏻
Love those things , especially in the powder blue/ light orange livery
Just call it ‘gulf’
450hp and 2200lbs. Sign me up
There are faster cars, there are more expensive cars, but there is nothing sexier than the silhouette of the FORD GT.
Enjoyed this
I think I'm jealous!
This was amazing! I love the shots with all the doors and hoods open, so cool!
I see 5W 50 goes in the crank case of the six-cylinder eco-boost on that 22’. Maybe I should give it a try in my old six cylinder 4.0 ;)
beautiful cahh!
That was a great piece, thank you guys!
love that this big guy is passionate enough to own this car despite not fitting it well
Also involved with racing the GT 40 in England was the John Wyer team .
Which won Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. And of course the GT40 Mk1s were built by Ford's AVO operation in England, run by John Wyer, with the 427 Mk2 cars using modified Mk1 chassis. I also believe that Eric Broadley who was taken on as a consultant to AVO wanted the GT40 to be made from Aluminium from day one but was over ruled by Ford.
@@grahambell4298 Aluminium would be my choice as well , I wonder if it would have been lighter than fiberglass, or at least as light?
@@barrycuda3769 Can't see that there would be much weight difference between aluminium and raceweight fibreglass for the body panels.
However, making the main chassis structure from aluminium as on the Mann cars rather than steel as on the regular GT40 Mk1/2 would certainly have made a useful difference.
Dennis happy when you show something new, Every time. 👍😉
Over the years and car shows,its nice to have been able to see authentic GT40's and Shelby's.. i never got to sit in them 😢
Been inside a Gulfstream lV though😂
Another awesome video! I've always loved how the European build cars compared to how we built cars. Most Americans like large, heavy cars with large powerful engines. Europeans like small, lightweight cars, with lighter engines.
not for nothing that Lotus is English
Great episode Dennis!
Love the GT40 🤜🤛 🙂 👍
If I could pick any car in the world it would be a gt40.
I’d take the GT40 every day over the new GT. The sound is perfect!
Great video awesome cars l really love the GT the best of the best Ford power forever baby
Old for me. Looks better, sounds better...❤
What a nice man with some really nice cars!
Ford should have put an all aluminum turbocharged Godzirra motor in that latest version.
Just imagine if they had put the 289 with the twin ohc heads that was built by ford
Around this time
It would had made the big blocks look slow !
Wow!!! Awesome car, awesome owner! That 289 sounds great!
Fantastic!
nice version but the aluminum panels are much more expensive and hard to fix, I guess there is not problem if the budget can support it.
If I won the lottery, I would invest and buy a gt
Thanks for this 😊
18:45 that's a pretty car.
I noticed the solar panels. Beautiful kaaaars
I must be honest, I like the older one more. Looks, sound, nostalgia - it has it all over the new one. Imho.
Wicked awesome caaaa
Mark is a tall guy...🤣
I know that GT40 is classic, but I would buy the 2022 right away if I had the money and the choice between the two.
Dennis has the best job ….i thought my career was good…. 😊
Did the Alan Mann car have fuel bladders or fuel tanks, and is that what it had originally? I know some GT40 racecars had bladders to save on weight, although most replicas have tanks for added safety.
Hell yeah my brother 🔥🔥🙌
How freaking cool was that?
So true!
The world's fastest Texas production car is the Hennessy Venom GT (made in Sealy, TX) with a top speed of 270 mph
Hell yeah my brother 🔥
Tim Burton, Shmee150 has a Ford GT done in this livery as a tribute to this car also, just not quite as perfect a match.
And it's probably done more miles than any other !!
'the little red things on the wheel'...
The horsepower of the new GT went up a bit on cars 2020 and up. Bigger intercoolers turbo ducting and ecu mapping. suspension was upgraded also
Wow
was this on TV?
my classic cars hasn't been on my cable system for a number of years now, but it might be on somewhere else
It airs Saturday mornings on Motor Trend at 8:30 am ET. Also on MAVTV almost daily. Over the air on Rev'n and streams on PlutoTV.
That's a masterpiece, yes it is Dennis, I just wish it sounded better, no ford gt has ever sounded anywhere near as good as the original, like its amazing they made such a good road car, but you just cant beat that original, like Doug Demiro put the 05 against the mark III from england
and my reaction was like James May To Hammond with the speedboat and the daytona, get that scrap off the harbor lol
just reversed
and jesus that daytona was beautiful in that dark blue with Borrani wire wheels
and the one consistant thing with the new ford gt every owner from Schmee 150 to tim allen tries to do
a new exhaust to make it sound better
and honestly I kinda look at it more like a Reborn Ford RS200/GT40 Hybrid, as they did make that GT70 back in the day to recapture the glory and to go into rally racing with it, which never panned out
and I do wonder what this guy would make of the ford GT90, which is still around and at an odd museum in the middle of nowhere, and drivable of all things, hell they were planning on having it at jay lenos garage, but they just havent made the special tires yet lol
and that was something else, like ford was expecting the bugatti Eb110 to be the standard at which all cars were judged
with I think a quad cam turbo V12
which sadly didnt pan out considering how badly Marnello and saint agatha put pressure on the parts manufacturers to cut them off despite how good that car was
and that was a proper supercar too, and silently backed by Ferrucio lamborghini himself too, hence the stupid doors all over again lol
so instead they aimed it at the ferrari V8 as the car to beat about 10 years latter, although even then, ferrari wins on sound alone
the 05 just sounds like a dull supercharged mustang, and that versus the base model 360 they were using, just never messured up,
which is odd as you would think it would have been possible to make it sound like the last of the V8's from mad max, like source the motor from down there instead and THEN supercharge it
and the worse part is, it was just the base they were messuring it against, imagine how good it would have been had they gotten a challenge stradale in instead
Yes it's true, nearly 60 years ago a 7 liter.GT 40 Ford and a swimming pool full of cash beat a 3.3 liter Ferrari and if you don't believe me there are 7 million videos to prove it.
guy keeps saying caa instead of car must be east coaster its a short mans car for sure..I tried to fit in a newer one and cant to tall...
Looking like a kid in his first sport car 😂😂😂😂
👍👍🇺🇸
Mk1 is the best looking car for me. Naturally Mk2 got all glory but the back end is just too bulky for me. I wish Ford had a 351 Cleveland back in the day to use in this one. It would have given the 427's a run for their money.
My V6 work van only get 13mpg and of course is nowhere near as cool as this GT.
I have s prototype 1999 Mustang Gt Convertible and I drive it that poor car sounds like its never been driven and that's sad. You need to exercise them. Some folks just want to have a ken doll collection and that's perfectly fine but at least buy one to enjoy!
"okay"
This 289 certainly requires rpm, but damn you look like a guy starting in 3rd.
70mph 1st gear @7500rpm approximately.
Think 4 speed achieved 215mph.
Think key is to hold 3500rpm, dump clutch and floor it, and at 45mph lift then cruise
@@dylanjamesryan9432 this is a 5 speed ZF.
What is a "Kawr"?😅
Should've stripped it down even more
I have no interest in a hybrid or any electric "supercar". Long live combustion!
What’s wrong with hybrid and electric ?
Long live steam engines. No need to change.
@@nick2128Their favorite politician or pastor doesn’t like them.
@@DeepSouthBuilder it’s gotten stupid the way everything is politicized. Doesn’t matter if the electric blows the doors off or handles better. Big oil propagandists will tell them how to think.
The future is now, old man.
There's no other way to put it---the ecoboost engine sounds horrible.
I like the Ford GT much better.
I wouldn't even waiste my time with a Ecoboost V6. F1 now sounds like crap thanks to these engines. Bring back big blocks. That OG one was a beast and will last for ever.
That must be oil money
At the end of the day it's still a "Ford" lol
That's easily worth over a million, LOL !!
@@arkhsm very true
Several million actually.
Get that bullshit V6 out of there. It's no "muscle car"... put the old one against the 2005/6 model. The real last Ford GT.
Drive your cars folks ...made for driving, not looking at
Nice to rich 🤡
There's no replacement for displacement, nice try Brits.
Nice try Brits...the makers of the "American" GT40 🤣
@@alfredstewart5107 The brits put the smaller displacement engine and it was NOT competitive, the larger displacement engine the americans installed put them in the winners circle😎,same thing Carroll Shelby did to the AC cobra.😳
@@buzzardbombshell3066 no FORD USA put the Fairlane small block v8 (4.2) in 1964 which failed, then they tried the 289 which also failed for everyone including Shelby. The small block when fitted with Forged bottom end and weslake heads won twice in 68 and 69 !
