1969 I was in my second year of college. A friend of mine had one of these because his dad owned a Ford dealership. He let me drive it and told me go ahead and light it up but all the tickets were on me. I entered the I-5 freeway in Southern California putting down unbelievable amount of rubber in 1st and 2nd gear. I was hitting 100 mph in what seemed like just a few seconds. It was awesome, and nope, no ticket. Boy, I'd love to own that car now.
@@kx250braap yea a type r does not a normal run of the mill civic. Also I wouldn't say this is "slow" compared to a type r. I mean they ran deep into the 13s on horrible skinny tires on pizza cutter wheels so not too bad all things considered. If a type r bear one stock for stock it wouldn't be by much so I wouldn't say it's "slow" by comparison.
Not a mustang, but my brother in law bought a 1968 GT Torino with the 428CJ in it and gave me a ride in it when I was 14. It was exactly like this video chirping tires and all. I have been a Ford guy ever since!
Given the choice, I'd take the Torino. Back in late '71, Pap bought a new '72 Torino GT.😃 It only had a 2bbl Cleveland, but I loved that car.😍 Traded it in for a '77 Monarch with a 302, a whopping 133 horsepower. Broke my little heart!💔
I once looked at a '68 Torino GT 428CJ but the frame was bent. I really wanted that car but passed on it. Too bad. You don't see a lot of those but Mustangs are all over the place.
I had a '68 GTO and the only guy to ever beat me was in a 428 CJ Torino... They were phuccing beasts... I usually outshifted the rest, but it didn't matter with that Torino, he still pulled me.
Burnouts are so much fun. I remember back when I was driving a tuned 1973 Mustang Mach 1 and decided to see how long I could keep the tires spinning. I had made it at least 120-130ft with no signs of letting up but didn't get to find out how far I could push it that night because thats when I noticed the flashing lights behind me, haha. So I pulled over and the cop said to me "I'm not going to give you a ticket because that was the best burnout I have ever seen but if I ever see you doing something like that again I will arrest you and have your car towed." Then he proceeded to talk to me for about 10 minutes about my car and how his brother was restoring a 66 before sending me on my way.
That is pure shirting skill. My bone stock '06 Mustang GT will do that too going into 3rd even with its stock 355 differential. The torque on those old cars was most important, the HP not so much. Like Carol Shelby said, HP wins in the showroom but torque wins on the track.
Cops did not used to be such pricks all the time like most are today. We had a cop see us dragging down a new but still unconnected 4 lane road. He told us; "If you guys want to race, go out in the Country so you don't scare people in town". We said 'Yes Sir'. And we did. Those were the days. Nobody ever got hurt, because we weren't crazy. We were just American boys and we loved our machines.
That brings back memories of me driving my best friends 1969 428 CJ and letting it all hang out while he was trailing me in my 1970 Boss 302, those was truly the good old days.

So many wild cards in that equation. Traction, torque, gearing, pavement, tires, gasoline, heat in the engine and ambient, the driver, etc. Just the right amount of cooling was hard to maintain in those days with the parts we had, and that's so critical with a high strung motor.

Wow, you caused me to reminisce. When I was 17 in 1970 I was able to buy a 1 year old 69 fast back 428 CJ 4 speed. The original owner ordered a simple dark green no p/s no air just all motor. He was about to have a baby so the car had to go. I was working at a gas station and in Heaven.
@Pat Luxor back then it was all about HP plus most of the cars and trucks we drove didn’t have p/s . What really sucked back then was the horrible smoggy days without air. But we didn’t want horse power robbing air either. The smog was horrendous and when the Santa Ana,s kicked up we got a little relief,but not for long cause all the smog that blew out over the ocean came back when the regular on shore winds returned.
I bought a new 1969 Mach 1, 428 CJ in 1970. It passed everything, except a gas station. It handled like the Titanic and stopped like it too. 0-60 in a hair under 6 sec was FAST in those days with those Polyglas tires and carburators. Nonetheless, it was a hoot to drive.
Boy oh boy does that bring back memories. For awhile there we were the CJ family. Dad had 428CJ in his 1968 Forest Green Fastback GT with dual quads on a HM intake, his buddy who hung around a lot had a 1969 Mach 1 428SCJ Dual Quads with the drag pak and I had my 1967 GT 390 with the 390 removed and a 428CJ installed with a single Holley 735 4Bbl. All 4 speed cars. All with 390 to 411 gears. Those were some fantastic days and just the sound of this video brought it all back. THANK YOU! (4 years late, I know. :( )
Ah the memories. My uncle traded a 75' Monza for a 69' mach one with the 428 SCJ. No cash just a straight up trade. You couldn't give muscle cars away during the gas shortage in the 70's.
I got married in 1974; took over a '66 Polara with at 383 as an everyday driver due to an accident taking out our Plymouth '67 slant 6. When the gas embargo hit, we only allowed $2 worth of gas every few days; that was about 3 gallon in our town. That 383 never got over 8 mile/gal in town. As broke college students paying our own way, we really earned to watch that gas guage barley keep above E. As a joke to my wife, who asked 'just how low are we?' one time as we were heading down the street to the gas station, I stomped the throttle, got one big burst, and then the engine died and we coasted into the gas station. As it was power steering, power braked, it was one sweaty moment get it turned into the station!
I was born in the 2000s but recently fell in love with these cars. I used to love Japanese jdm cars and still do. But when I saw American muscle something just awakened inside of me and I’m glad it did
It's cool that you can see the appeal of both sides of it. A lot of JDM guys really hate American Muscle and vice versa, they're all fantastic in their own way.
When I was in high school you could buy a rusty 65-69 Rustang, for $50-$200, I bought a 67 GTA with a built 390/auto/ ac/9"‐4.11 for $200. Plus $100. For the ET slotted dish rims, L-60-14 front, N-50-14 MT rears this was my winter car. Rusty but it would burn rubber in 1st & 2nd,it didn't make the whole winter, then I got a 67 big block caprice
When I was in high school, I bought 2 of them. 73 mach1 and a 72 fastback for parts. Both sitting in a field for years and not running. The mach1 had a decent body, great deluxe interior, and everything under the hood completely gutted. The 72 was rusty but had a complete motor and transmission. I gave the old man $600 for 1 and $400 for the other and he even loaded them up and towed them to my house. I would I would have had more money, but I was a broke kid. The old man had a whole field of old mustangs.
@@garypic4083 Hi Gary, I build engines in my free time. The Cobra Jet has JBA headers in 2.5" exhaust. Compression is original, also the block and heads. The intake is a Ford police interceptor with the original carburetor. The cam is a CompCam 274. So the only thing which is different from the stock engine is the cam and the excaust. The secret is to modify the head and the intake manifold. The police interceptor manifold has to be welded to get a propper porting. A friend of me has an original SCJ. We put it on a dyno - he got approx. 290 DIN PS. That means approx. 360 SAE PS. This matches with the Cobra Jet engine tests. My Cobra Jet has approx. 400 DIN PS (means approx. 480 SEA PS). In another video from me you can see my car on the dyno. I have a lot of fun driving it - but not for a long distance.
I have a 1965 Galaxie with 4.33s and a locker with a.020 over 390 and my C4AEG heads ported with 2.055/1.6 exhaust and a Holley Street Dominator port matched together and a retarded 270S that was ground on a 109 LSA , so it is 109/109/109, 10.25:1 with L2291Fs and I run the lash a bit tight so it is 227@.050. It’s a sweet combination and yours is a really sweet 428CJ combination! Mine is a C6 set up for brackets . FEs are so much fun to build and play with. I love the car, the 69-70 is my favorite body and the 428 just makes it heroic with some tinkering!
I had a friend in college who had a '70 Torino with a 429SCJ, and exhaust cutouts, and a Hurst Drag Shifter. Totally insane! Gotta love the 428; tons of torque; awesome shaker effect! I did the research on Shelby's 1967 "Little Red" prototype coupe; 428CJ with TWO Paxton blowers! Over 600hp (it's on YT; "The Hunt for Little Red").
I drove quite a few of these when they came out. Really fun cars. I liked you actually run it hard. Most of the videos the guys half throttle and act like they’re doing something. I had the rare 428 SCJ GT 69 Mustang. Most 428 where Mach 1.
The FE is really great engine. I have found thick 70s truck blocks with the 105 where the 352 normally is, and used 64 model heads with CJ sized valves and some porting work a 274/280@ .050 solid cam and cheap headers and a Holley SD and 750 3310. Got a set of 428 pistons the got it up to 11:1. C6. You could put it in D and it would chirp all 3 . That engine was a beast! And it was cheaper to build back then. I won many street battles. The trans did have a shift kit to shift at 6600. I loved the 69-70 Mustang and the 68-69 Torinos. They were well built cars, and you had shops who know how to set up a aC6 . They made stupid torque and would rev good. The right valvetrain, spring s, retainers, keepers , some grout and my truck was to have cross-bolted mains machined for 2 and 4 and use 351C race bearings on all but the thrust , number3, and studs for the mains and heads. The C4 heads after porting are so good I had a set disappear from a shop doing the valve job. What a motor!
The first muscle car experience I ever had was in a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR with a 428 Cobra Jet engine. It made me fall in love with cars. It was far from the fastest car I have ever been in, but it was my "first love" I guess you could say. I feel kinda stupid saying that considering I'm usually a fairly rational and level headed person. I just love these cars.
My dad ordered a 69 Ranchero with a 428 Super Cobra Jet, 4 speed, black with red stripe and buckets. My dad was pretty cool, he used take me to Eddies for a coke in that thing when I was a kid,,..sniff
Back in my younger days, i pulled a 390 from a 69 ranger f100. Quitely one weekend, i installed a scj in place. Only one person ever knew. What a blast from the past with your video. Thanks
Had a friend in high school that stroked the 390 in his '68 by adding the 428 crank, but he didn't bore the cylinders - I think it was a 416 displacement. It was a torque beast, but he broke the motor mounts several times and separated the drive shaft universals at least once.
@@mikejaxn if it was still bore, it was 410ci. Mercury used this combination late in the 60s. Surprisingly enough, a few of those engines were installed in f100s in 68 and 69
@@demarrmelton5507 yeah, he kept it factory bore as he didn't want overheating problems. I learned to drive on a 63.5 fastback galaxie with a 390; the only thing that saved me was it was a heavy car with a 3-speed column shift and you couldn't rush the shift or the linkage would bind up.
When I was in high school in the mid '70s, I had a '69 SS 396 (L78) Camaro with a full cam, 4.11 posi, 4 speed Muncie, Hurst T, etc, and one of my friends had a mostly stock '69 Mach I 428 CJ 4 speed with a shaker. Just a couple of HS kids driving future classics. I kept my SS until '80 and sold it for more than I paid for it. There were pros and cons to both cars, but I'd love to have either one of them now. Unfortunately, I'm not alone. A car similar to my SS or my friend's Mach 1 CJ is now far outside my toy car budget comfort level.
Get you a 69 Mach 1. 428 preferably but the base 351W 4V engine will light ‘em up too, go to your local gas station that has the 93 E-free gas, voila!!! There ya go!! I have a 351W 4V 69 Mach and it will roast the tires and I do get the classic smell of the 93 leaded gas AND the burnt rubber😉
Industrial Parks on Sundays was the place to use a buddy's Dad's shop to wash the car, open headers, and practice launching the GTO. Or Chevelle, 442, Camaro, etc.
Muscle cars are a fun like no other but man you gotta be careful. I had a 1965 Dodge Dart GT with a 340 4 speed and positive track rear end. Not sure of the gears but pretty low. Would take off like shot out of a cannon. Car wasn’t stock, friend of mine put it all together and did a fantastic job. Lotta car for a 16 yo kid. I got real lucky a time or two. Man what I wouldn’t give to stomp thru the gears in that thing again.
Ahhh this brings back memories of the 70's. Predators known as "muscle cars" stalked roads between hamlet & village, lurking for small block prey. Friday night everyone met up at the 7-Eleven to stock up on beer and find out where the parties were. Then the burnout contest commenced provided by a mix of ponies & muscle cars. Muscle cars ALWAYS won to the scream of Ford 390, 428, 460 / Mopar 383, 426 Hemi, 440 / Chevy 396, 427, 454 powered burnouts.
Hell yeah! I'm a hard core Chevy/Olds guy but that was kick ass. All this new high tech shit might be super fast and safe with 20 air bags, traction control, 15 speed transmissions, stability control, supercharged, intercooled but this old school look and sound has big time charisma that can't be matched. Sounds wicked. 5 stars for this vintage battle wagon. I totally dig it.
@@thomasdaum1927 And the torque was what always impressed me. Loved it when someone said "Try to reach up there and touch the dash" while those old Fords were pulling.😳
The 428 CJ Mustangs were the only showroom cars that I remember consistantly breaking 14 sec. at the drag strip. The rumor at the time was that it was necessary to loosen the motor mounts to change the plugs.
Been taking a bolt out of one, then the other motor mount for decades ever since. Then came FWD V6's and we call that "rotating" the engine: take one bolt out of the "dog bone" on top and pull it forward, dropping the bolt into the hole provided. I had a buddy that had a 428CJ Fred Jones rebuild in a 68 Fairlane that I foiund that out on. We found a close ratio toploader in a local junkyard we installed into it along with Hooker headers. MAN that was a strong running motor.
1969 I was in my second year of college. A friend of mine had one of these because his dad owned a Ford dealership.

So many bad ass cars to choose from in 69'. I remember them all.
I was born in the 2000s but recently fell in love with these cars. I used to love Japanese jdm cars and still do. But when I saw American muscle something just awakened inside of me and I’m glad it did
It's cool that you can see the appeal of both sides of it. A lot of JDM guys really hate American Muscle and vice versa, they're all fantastic in their own way.
I've had many muscle cars over the years but my favorites were always the mustangs
Very healthy sounding big block. I’m envious.
I had a 69 Mach 1 428 cobra jet. Lucky I lived through it but wow was that a car. Seeing that hood scoop from the cockpit brings back great memories
When I was in high school you could buy a rusty 65-69 Rustang, for $50-$200, I bought a 67 GTA with a built 390/auto/ ac/9"‐4.11 for $200. Plus $100. For the ET slotted dish rims, L-60-14 front, N-50-14 MT rears this was my winter car. Rusty but it would burn rubber in 1st & 2nd,it didn't make the whole winter, then I got a 67 big block caprice
When I was in high school, I bought 2 of them. 73 mach1 and a 72 fastback for parts. Both sitting in a field for years and not running. The mach1 had a decent body, great deluxe interior, and everything under the hood completely gutted. The 72 was rusty but had a complete motor and transmission. I gave the old man $600 for 1 and $400 for the other and he even loaded them up and towed them to my house.
I would I would have had more money, but I was a broke kid. The old man had a whole field of old mustangs.
Holy crap that is a fast car!
Thanks.
@@olipl1970 not stock is it?
@@garypic4083 Hi Gary, I build engines in my free time. The Cobra Jet has JBA headers in 2.5" exhaust. Compression is original, also the block and heads. The intake is a Ford police interceptor with the original carburetor. The cam is a CompCam 274. So the only thing which is different from the stock engine is the cam and the excaust. The secret is to modify the head and the intake manifold. The police interceptor manifold has to be welded to get a propper porting.
A friend of me has an original SCJ. We put it on a dyno - he got approx. 290 DIN PS. That means approx. 360 SAE PS. This matches with the Cobra Jet engine tests. My Cobra Jet has approx. 400 DIN PS (means approx. 480 SEA PS). In another video from me you can see my car on the dyno.
I have a lot of fun driving it - but not for a long distance.
@@olipl1970 beautiful car
I have a 1965 Galaxie with 4.33s and a locker with a.020 over 390 and my C4AEG heads ported with 2.055/1.6 exhaust and a Holley Street Dominator port matched together and a retarded 270S that was ground on a 109 LSA , so it is 109/109/109, 10.25:1 with L2291Fs and I run the lash a bit tight so it is 227@.050. It’s a sweet combination and yours is a really sweet 428CJ combination! Mine is a C6 set up for brackets . FEs are so much fun to build and play with. I love the car, the 69-70 is my favorite body and the 428 just makes it heroic with some tinkering!
This brings back so many memories... Of me wanting one.
I had a friend in college who had a '70 Torino with a 429SCJ, and exhaust cutouts, and a Hurst Drag Shifter. Totally insane! Gotta love the 428; tons of torque; awesome shaker effect! I did the research on Shelby's 1967 "Little Red" prototype coupe; 428CJ with TWO Paxton blowers! Over 600hp (it's on YT; "The Hunt for Little Red").
I drove quite a few of these when they came out. Really fun cars. I liked you actually run it hard. Most of the videos the guys half throttle and act like they’re doing something. I had the rare 428 SCJ GT 69 Mustang. Most 428 where Mach 1.
Brings back memories of my 69 Cougar. Love the sound of the FE big blocks. 😎
👍 love cougars , my favorites !
The FE is really great engine. I have found thick 70s truck blocks with the 105 where the 352 normally is, and used 64 model heads with CJ sized valves and some porting work a 274/280@ .050 solid cam and cheap headers and a Holley SD and 750 3310. Got a set of 428 pistons the got it up to 11:1. C6. You could put it in D and it would chirp all 3 . That engine was a beast! And it was cheaper to build back then. I won many street battles. The trans did have a shift kit to shift at 6600. I loved the 69-70 Mustang and the 68-69 Torinos. They were well built cars, and you had shops who know how to set up a aC6 . They made stupid torque and would rev good. The right valvetrain, spring s, retainers, keepers , some grout and my truck was to have cross-bolted mains machined for 2 and 4 and use 351C race bearings on all but the thrust , number3, and studs for the mains and heads. The C4 heads after porting are so good I had a set disappear from a shop doing the valve job. What a motor!
The first muscle car experience I ever had was in a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR with a 428 Cobra Jet engine. It made me fall in love with cars. It was far from the fastest car I have ever been in, but it was my "first love" I guess you could say. I feel kinda stupid saying that considering I'm usually a fairly rational and level headed person. I just love these cars.
I had a 69 Mach 1 with a 390. Not quite the same but.....still had a hell of a kick!!
Don't need more music than that. Straight to the heart 💪💪💪
Ah, the torque. Fantastic.
🇺🇸💪🦅
The engine is so damn good it chirps 3rd gear
My dad ordered a 69 Ranchero with a 428 Super Cobra Jet, 4 speed, black with red stripe and buckets.
My dad was pretty cool, he used take me to Eddies for a coke in that thing when I was a kid,,..sniff
Back in my younger days, i pulled a 390 from a 69 ranger f100. Quitely one weekend, i installed a scj in place. Only one person ever knew. What a blast from the past with your video. Thanks
Had a friend in high school that stroked the 390 in his '68 by adding the 428 crank, but he didn't bore the cylinders - I think it was a 416 displacement. It was a torque beast, but he broke the motor mounts several times and separated the drive shaft universals at least once.
@@mikejaxn if it was still bore, it was 410ci. Mercury used this combination late in the 60s. Surprisingly enough, a few of those engines were installed in f100s in 68 and 69
@@demarrmelton5507 yeah, he kept it factory bore as he didn't want overheating problems. I learned to drive on a 63.5 fastback galaxie with a 390; the only thing that saved me was it was a heavy car with a 3-speed column shift and you couldn't rush the shift or the linkage would bind up.
@@mikejaxn theres a 63/half 390 4sp car here in my town for sale.
May I live vicariously and go to heaven? Thank you.
I'd love to drive that beast!! Makes me miss the old days!
My uncle had a '69 Mach 1, 351ci., 4 barrel. Great car and a lot of fun.
I had 1 of those. Fun times
Sweet. Respect from Canada
A sweeter song has never played.
My chair fishtailed as I was just watching this.
The sound it makes is Soo good.
My dream car...sounds amazing & loooooove the shaker!
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you
Awesome power, great way to start your day and feel the king of your domain!
When I was in high school in the mid '70s, I had a '69 SS 396 (L78) Camaro with a full cam, 4.11 posi, 4 speed Muncie, Hurst T, etc, and one of my friends had a mostly stock '69 Mach I 428 CJ 4 speed with a shaker. Just a couple of HS kids driving future classics. I kept my SS until '80 and sold it for more than I paid for it. There were pros and cons to both cars, but I'd love to have either one of them now. Unfortunately, I'm not alone. A car similar to my SS or my friend's Mach 1 CJ is now far outside my toy car budget comfort level.
You have your cool memories.
Sounds exactly like the one on driver San Francisco! Thanks for uploading the this!
I could watch that all day.
The mustang was the best sports car and still is
Ohhh . . . How I miss the smell of leaded premium exhaust!
Get you a 69 Mach 1. 428 preferably but the base 351W 4V engine will light ‘em up too, go to your local gas station that has the 93 E-free gas, voila!!! There ya go!! I have a 351W 4V 69 Mach and it will roast the tires and I do get the classic smell of the 93 leaded gas AND the burnt rubber😉
@@RDMash I had a beautiful '70 Mach 1 in the late 70's early 80's. 351 Cleveland 4V. One of the fastest cars I ever owned!
@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered 👍🏻🏁
Tesla's might be lightning quick but with no smell or sound forget it.
This video never gets old!
Thank you.
I drove one back in 1972, Sebring orange ,worked for Lorack motors for a short time ,best 30 minutes I had working there....regards Dennis. AUS.
Man those SOBs would Run! That engine sounds Bad Ass. I had a Torino Cobra 429.....wish I still had it.
Sounds healthy!! No coughing, no limping
Industrial Parks on Sundays was the place to use a buddy's Dad's shop to wash the car, open headers, and practice launching the GTO. Or Chevelle, 442, Camaro, etc.
Chirpin the tires in freakin 3rd!
Muscle cars are a fun like no other but man you gotta be careful. I had a 1965 Dodge Dart GT with a 340 4 speed and positive track rear end. Not sure of the gears but pretty low. Would take off like shot out of a cannon. Car wasn’t stock, friend of mine put it all together and did a fantastic job. Lotta car for a 16 yo kid. I got real lucky a time or two. Man what I wouldn’t give to stomp thru the gears in that thing again.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?
Its them bowtie and mopar boys.
NICE... AWESOME.... catching those gears....wow...
Ahhh this brings back memories of the 70's. Predators known as "muscle cars" stalked roads between hamlet & village, lurking for small block prey. Friday night everyone met up at the 7-Eleven to stock up on beer and find out where the parties were. Then the burnout contest commenced provided by a mix of ponies & muscle cars. Muscle cars ALWAYS won to the scream of Ford 390, 428, 460 / Mopar 383, 426 Hemi, 440 / Chevy 396, 427, 454 powered burnouts.
Hell yeah! I'm a hard core Chevy/Olds guy but that was kick ass. All this new high tech shit might be super fast and safe with 20 air bags, traction control, 15 speed transmissions, stability control, supercharged, intercooled but this old school look and sound has big time charisma that can't be matched. Sounds wicked. 5 stars for this vintage battle wagon. I totally dig it.
I love this sound
What a beast, 428 was underated from factory, probably 400 hp at least.
They dinoed at 405 hp , can’t remember the real torque numbers .
@@thomasdaum1927 And the torque was what always impressed me. Loved it when someone said "Try to reach up there and touch the dash" while those old Fords were pulling.😳
A super cobra jet with 4.30 gears is what I want someday
Sweet, he was getting rubber with every gear. The mighty 428.
Sounds freakin awesome fella!!! 😵👌
Man that sounded sweet.
Sounds wicked 🖤
This is my new favorite video
Thank you.
That was super badass!
1st gear boiled, 2nd gear roasted, third gear squalled, 4th gear chirped. Gawdam! This thing pulls hard!
👍THANKS FOR THE RIDE ❣ 🇺🇲💪😁
In 1970 my friend had one , from a dead stop going downhill it was the scariest thing I every road in...
1969 was a good year for high performance Ford's...they won practically all of it the NASCAR races that year
Nice, really nice! Sounds great! Ha, I bet there were some black marks on Am Walzwerk for days.
Almost looks like a scene of a movie 💪🏾
The great old fe motor. Love it.
Wow this is one of the best v8 engines I’ve ever heard
Thank you
How much did this car cost?
What a car, looks power and sound. What a wonderful era of cars.
@@liamgross7217 yeah, simply amazing!
@@liamgross7217 Thak you
The 428 CJ Mustangs were the only showroom cars that I remember consistantly breaking 14 sec. at the drag strip. The rumor at the time was that it was necessary to loosen the motor mounts to change the plugs.
It is only a rumor. Only numper 8 is a little closely. Without the valve cover it is possible.:-)
Been taking a bolt out of one, then the other motor mount for decades ever since. Then came FWD V6's and we call that "rotating" the engine: take one bolt out of the "dog bone" on top and pull it forward, dropping the bolt into the hole provided.
I had a buddy that had a 428CJ Fred Jones rebuild in a 68 Fairlane that I foiund that out on. We found a close ratio toploader in a local junkyard we installed into it along with Hooker headers. MAN that was a strong running motor.
I love all muscle cars and especially this one. But right off the show room floor a GS stage 1 could break mid 13 with no problem. So could a LS6 .
Love it!
Catching rubber in second gear at will. Love it.
These kind of cars are so awesome when you grab 2nd and even 3rd sometimes and chirp the rear tires lol
Beautiful.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful!
Have to remember shelby made a 10 second car in the 60s with a 500hp 427
That thing hits so hard, I dropped my phone.
Thank you::-)
It doesn't get any better than that
The Ford company should of not stopped making them,finally a guy that drives it right thank you I'm sick of watching stills
I remember those days best ever
Hello mate, that sounds nice. Greetings from the u.k👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
Sweet sounds
Looks so fun
Mustang are forever
Own a 69 Cuda 440, I approve this video! Visceral!
