A friend of mine bought a 1966 Mustang GT350 in the late 1970's. It had the stock 289 with stock sidepipes (dealer installed?) and I always remember how the car was incredibly light, very fast and extremely tinny sounding (doors, hood, trunk lid, etc all had no sound damping at all). For a 289 it was incredibly fast, with slightly quicker acceleration than my 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible's 330 Jetfire Rocket (320 HP stock). As a 16 year old teenager he drove it daily to high school but he found it difficult to park with the manual steering. With his father's assistance, in 1981 or 1982, he installed power steering and power brakes from another 1966 Mustang. He still has it today and I still have my 1967 Oldsmobile.
I had a 65 and a 66 you had to actually drive them. No power brakes, no power steering, no ABS, and yes the rear end was light. They became very difficult when it was raining, but I learned how to drive a car, really drive a car.
@@Bulldogmm what did yours have for a rear end? I'm not sure which ratio was stock (maybe 3.89:1; he had at least 2 of those in 3rd members from other GT350s). Most interesting was the fact the GT350 3rd members had Detroit lockers inside and the cars came stock, right from Ford, this way. I don't know if the locker was a factory option or if all GT350s came with them. The first time I had one in my hands to play with I recall being extremely intrigued that there was no actual differential but instead a ratcheting system behaving similar to the ratchet in a socket set. Another odd memory I have is him being so happy when he got a genuine (Ford) lightweight fiberglass hood from a 65 that he installed (in 66 Ford switched to heavier steel structured hoods). Later, when it warped so badly you couldn't latch the hood pins he wasn't so happy... Did your 65's hood also warp like his. That hood eventually fell apart so he switched to a more aggressive, raised center, aftermarket hood.
@@Slider68 they had stock gears. I think it 3.00:1 gears. My friends high higher gear ratios, but most of them couldn’t drive when the roads were wet the could spin the tires in Fourth gear when it was wet so it got sketchy real quick.
I believe it’s a Superformance based on a 68 GT40 Le Mans winner that was in Gulf Livery. Superformance sells licensed Ford GT40’s, Daytona Coupes, Cobras and I believe the 65 Competition Sport Coupe Corvette.
Exactly! (sold in 3 months) This car has a very small niche use. Not much UA-cam content other than taking it to the track and sitting in the background as eye candy.
@@astrxhub I just always think it's equal parts sad and annoying when these guys talk about how a certain car is one they always wanted, how it's a dream come true, etc, but then they turn around and sell it within a few months because that's how UA-cam is. It's like they don't truly value or treasure anything and are just looking forward to the next thing. I like Hoovie and his videos, and he can do what he wants obviously. He will never sell his grandmother's Mercedes, that's something at least.
I know the history of this car from 1972 - 1994. It sat for that whole time completely disassembled and boxed up in Az. Brings much joy to see its evolution. Thanks for sharing.
Wizard drives a 20-year-old VW Beetle. And a diesel at that. Maybe the man is incapable of deceit? Or, he gets home at night and bathes in the riches and trinkets he's acquired... I'd say it's 50/50...
The conversion van was always my personal favorite of your fleet because of its unmatched utility and versatility and they're even somewhat rare -- cool in my book.
My dad has a 1965 mustang fastback painted red with white stripes and there’s nothing on the road that gets the same attention. The car is literally rolling art. The amount of people that wave and stare is truly amazing. It’s a pretty incredible feeling driving these nice classic cars around now. You can genuinely see the happiness is brings random strangers from just seeing it.
@@stirfryjedi Compared to how much he spends on cars and sorting them out trailers are really cheap. And it can make you save money in a long period of time.
4:04 love the Ford GT(40) under the cover 😀Also, amazing car! Great investment! Every Mustang I have ever owned has gained value. Shelby’s are NO exception
*WORDS OF WISDOM* not worth the head aches with scratches or damage but also shitty people will scope your car and you might come out of taco bell with 1 less motor.. friend of mines brand new truck was stolen on a trailer. found on trailer with no motor or tailgate and a handfull of other parts gone. i would bet that motor is in someone's race car.
Yes. Given the shape and middle hump it was either a real or replica. But then again if he had this and was buying a new gt500, it may be a real one. Surprised not many other people mentioned it.
I’m very happy for all of Hoovies success. That said, I miss what this channel used to be. There’s much more of Hoovie buying cars that are unobtanium for most.
Of all the woo-hoo and ah-ha-awesome of your channel, I appreciate the most that you genuinely appreciate knowing it's the viewers that get you paid. Don't ever stop being so grateful and humble. Niiiiiice ride! God bless you and your family.
As an old timer who graduated high school the year this Mustang was made, I approve. When you gave it he gas and it broke the rear end loose it made me smile. Brings back memories of my youth, though my hot rod was a new 1966 GTO tri-power, 4 speed.
Yeah I smiled too, but then realization set in and I fear for that car's life. I really hope he doesn't destroy that Mustang, because he actually doesn't have really good experience on a track, and that car breaks loose real easily.
I remember him making a comment "I'm not a very good driver, so I need an extra 200HP". Thinking about his expeditions to the track many have ended with blown engines.
I used to work for a classic car restoration shop and one of our best clients had one of these with 19,000 original miles! Hands down one of my favorite cars that I've had the pleasure to work on. Great video Tyler! 👏
@@pannenkoekspek depending on how much he spent on it, I’m sure it was probably over 110k, this is the first time I think Hoovie may have made a mistake. Especially if he tracks it.
Being a full-tilt race car, I'd kinda be afraid to beat on it or accidentally throw it into a wall. The other Mustang was more streetwise and If you did throw it into a wall, then repair it and keep running. This one... if he throws it into a wall we'll all cry.
Congrats, Hoovie, on a great purchase. I remember when those cars were new (I was 9). Kudos to you for planning on getting it on track. That's what they are for--it would be sad to put this under a cover tucked away.
Does the GT350H now stand for Hoovie? Them being Hertz rental cars back in the days is just too cool. This is one of my personal favorite cars you've ever bought. Wow. ALSO: Heavy James Garner/Grand Prix '66 vibes, same extra rev counter if I'm not mistaken aswell. GT350 as a name was coined by Shelby because of the distance between his two shops being 350 feet. Another example of what a marketing genius he was.
@@ogonbio8145 it was clearly a joke bud but is definitely up there since other than the Hummer, most of the cars he sold weren't that expensive . I'm gonna say near the 100K mark for this unit
Best thing about a conversion van for me, was when my wife said "I want a van for the kids". Went right out and traded her car in for one. Didn't tell her it wouldn't fit in the garage so ... more room for my toys!

My god hoovie how far you've come. Can still remember the first time i heard one of these cars at my local track of Zandvoort about ten years ago. First time hearing a proper american V8 on full blast, the decel still gives me goosebumps. I just hope it will still be possible for guys like me to own a car like this in the future.
Yeah, this is way better than any property or the stock market. Are you leaving all the decals that aren't factory? Now you have the real one. It's so much better than that green one you sold. I am so jealous. Thank you so much for showing us this Tyler!
Hey Hoovie, I love seeing this! I’m actually part of a huge vintage racing group. We have a bunch of racings in the North East. If you want to race at Watkins Glen, Lime Rock, or a few other awesome tracks I would love to get you hooked up!
Wow, by far your best buy yet! A real 66 Shelby R code! My era car, was 19 when these were new, saw them race a couple of times, Class B production race rule legal SCCA Champions, cleaned the race tracks of all B production Corvettes, drove Chevy and GM crazy back in the day. Enjoy your new piece of AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY it is a beautiful car!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful Shelby. I bought a hertz renta racer back in 73 that someone had painted ford candy Apple red for 1800.00. All the hertz cars were converted to automatic but they disconnected the return spring on the clutch pedal and put it under the carpet. Getting rid of that was one of the many dumb car moves I’ve made in my life, but it was just a used car back then 🤷🏼♂️. Looking forward with all you do to it.
I feel so conflicted while watching Hoovie's videos. On one hand I am super envious that this guy is living my dream. On another the sheer amount of jumping from car to car really can become rather unpleasent.. Especially for someone who wants to get to know each of the cars.. 18 cars is a lot to know at once 😬🤷♂️ Great videos whatsoever! 💪
Yes,it is weird.I went from daily driving my '85 Omni GLH,and drove my '77 Toronado 1 night and went to step on the clutch as I neared a stop sign and slammed into my seatbelt as the brake pedal is very wide in that car.OOPs.
I'm not envious in the slightest. I'm a car guy, but this seems like a huge nightmare to have to pay for, insure, store and maintain. I'd be good with 3 or 4 collectibles, tops.
Beautiful car, beautiful wheels! Garys garage is awesome amd looks like he has a GT40 under that cover. Dont forget to keep the race gas in it and don't forget to turn on the fan.
Greetings, my friend! This is a very rare car, indeed! 310 hp today seems quite lame. I think a "Torque Monster" would do quite nicely! Wouldn't you agree? 🇺🇲 🇨🇦 #PaixAmourEtMuscleVoitures
Hi,what a great find. If you want to drive on the street this is what I will do. Change the engine to a 5.0 with a 670 cfm set up. Change the clutch, trans and rear gear's. This way you will have the race set-up ready to go. You don't want to waste the race stuff on the street. The noise you hear in the back may be the Shelby override bars. I would also join a Shelby Club near you. Theses guys will have boat load of knowledge .
Couple years ago I went shopping to the local home Depot and the greeters stopped me he saw my Carol Shelby t-shirt he pointed to his hat pin he said he worked for Carol Shelby back in the day working on the Hertz rental mustangs he said he wanted to get one of those but they were out of his price range . He was telling me the stories of the fixes and shaking his head of all the dumb stuff people did to those mustangs. What brought him around this area . He followed Carol this way for the manufacturing of the Shelby charger in the Omni ghl. That were manufactured in the belvedere plant and possibly Kenosha Wisconsin also. But he ended up picking up a Shelby charger it was not considered a Dodge because there's enough car parts changed to be considered its own car.
Beautiful! I saw one at SCCA Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska some years back. The guy owned it from the late 60's and he raced in CAM-T class. Coolest car ever!
Hoovie, this is a keeper of keepers, a true dream car. I remember as a kid cutting out a picture from a popular mechanics magazine of this car and putting it on my “car wall.” Drive carefully!
I remember seeing GT 500 and 350’s in the mid 80’s when they were only about 20 years old. Tyler is rubbing shoulders with the big boys in the car industry. Thanks for letting us tag along
@@Hellblaue210 If hoovie was smart (or a shit disturber) he'd park this across the street and say "you can't touch it neener neener neener" lol Want to take it for a drive? YESSSSSSSSS PSYCHE you can't touch it you can't touch it lol
A much better investment than stock or real estate. A beautifully restored and built peice of history and rolling art! A wonderful purchase and so good to see you enjoying the fruits of your success. So very happy for you! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
By far.... my favorite episode. Mostly because my parents owned a 66 Hertz back in 1970 when I was but a toddler. Thankfully we have a couple pictures, wonderful memories!!
Tyler is living the dream of every car guy and his viewers are financing it. But, he works hard at producing interesting content which is why he has had his success. I predict he'll get rid of his hoopties in the future and move upmarket to more exotics. Best of luck Tyler! 😊
@@benchoflemons398 all these kids that are calling cars "investments" cant tell their ass from their elbow. Not loosing your ass on a car doesn't make it a investment lol.
Hoovie! Don’t worry about making it for road use, why would you bother? You’ll get to enjoy maybe 10% on the road. Keep it strictly race it’s been done so well I personally wouldn’t change a thing.
To make this a comfortable "Road Car" would cost $20K and would totally KILL the value of it. Leave it as is and have fun with it at Car Meets and take it to the Race Track a couple of times before you sell it in a few months.
The backstory is close. I'm pretty sure Iacocca said he wanted it done, Shelby said something along the lines of 'you can't make a stallion out of a mule', and Iacocca said I didn't ask you, you work for me.
I want a Kansas UA-cam Grand Prix - race between Hoovie, John Ross, 100% Jake, Elliot, Wizard, Ninja, etc. Tavarish can do the tech inspection. Ed Bolian as the announcer.
You can always just wire in another kill switch hidden where only you know where it is instead of a keyed ignition, or two if you want to really keep people from trying to steal it…
@@fredsaunders987 most new cars are still holding good value right now. With everyone starting to go fully electric expect these final few years of high horsepower internal combustion engines to become quite valuable over the next 10 to 15 years.
Best part of vehicle is where it came from. Phoenix, Arizona. HUGE tall sign you have potentially a good car with no rust that was maybe garaged and preserved. All my cars last FOREVER and are a blast to drive in this climate. Grats you sob!

Hoovie has a new “car of my dreams” after every nap
Wow!!! This Mustang is stunning & definitely not a Hooptie!!!! Great job Tyler!!! 👍👍🙂
I want to see that GT40 he has under the cover in his garage.
Wow, by far your best buy yet! A real 66 Shelby R code! My era car, was 19 when these were new, saw them race a couple of times, Class B production race rule legal SCCA Champions, cleaned the race tracks of all B production Corvettes, drove Chevy and GM crazy back in the day. Enjoy your new piece of AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY it is a beautiful car!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful Shelby. I bought a hertz renta racer back in 73 that someone had painted ford candy Apple red for 1800.00. All the hertz cars were converted to automatic but they disconnected the return spring on the clutch pedal and put it under the carpet. Getting rid of that was one of the many dumb car moves I’ve made in my life, but it was just a used car back then 🤷🏼♂️. Looking forward with all you do to it.
Can't wait to hear some of the noises that come out of the wizard when he sees this for the first time!
I feel so conflicted while watching Hoovie's videos. On one hand I am super envious that this guy is living my dream. On another the sheer amount of jumping from car to car really can become rather unpleasent.. Especially for someone who wants to get to know each of the cars.. 18 cars is a lot to know at once 😬🤷♂️ Great videos whatsoever! 💪
Yes,it is weird.I went from daily driving my '85 Omni GLH,and drove my '77 Toronado 1 night and went to step on the clutch as I neared a stop sign and slammed into my seatbelt as the brake pedal is very wide in that car.OOPs.
I'm not envious in the slightest. I'm a car guy, but this seems like a huge nightmare to have to pay for, insure, store and maintain. I'd be good with 3 or 4 collectibles, tops.
Tyler's a flipper. He doesn't get too attached to his purchases because there's always money to be made.
@@bryduhbikeguy Been there, done that! Almost launched a friend through the windshield. And there's nothing to say but "oops!"
Beautiful car, beautiful wheels! Garys garage is awesome amd looks like he has a GT40 under that cover. Dont forget to keep the race gas in it and don't forget to turn on the fan.
Congrats. It is a beauty. I strongly recommend Chuck Cantwell’s book about how he and the Shelby team designed and built these beasts.
Tyler, this car is so cool! I’m not usually a fan of gold on black but your GT350 is beautiful. I can’t wait to see you race it!
In this episode hoovie tells y’all how to win every local car show
Congratulations!
Greetings, my friend! This is a very rare car, indeed! 310 hp today seems quite lame. I think a "Torque Monster" would do quite nicely! Wouldn't you agree? 🇺🇲 🇨🇦 #PaixAmourEtMuscleVoitures
At first I was sad he sold a lot of stuff. Then I saw this video and now I'm happy.
Hi,what a great find. If you want to drive on the street this is what I will do. Change the engine to a 5.0 with a 670 cfm set up. Change the clutch, trans and rear gear's. This way you will have the race set-up ready to go. You don't want to waste the race stuff on the street. The noise you hear in the back may be the Shelby override bars. I would also join a Shelby Club near you. Theses guys will have boat load of knowledge .
Thanks buddy.I bought in May a 85 gt red 5gears of fun w 38 k miles.what a blast.almost new.
Couple years ago I went shopping to the local home Depot and the greeters stopped me he saw my Carol Shelby t-shirt he pointed to his hat pin he said he worked for Carol Shelby back in the day working on the Hertz rental mustangs he said he wanted to get one of those but they were out of his price range . He was telling me the stories of the fixes and shaking his head of all the dumb stuff people did to those mustangs. What brought him around this area . He followed Carol this way for the manufacturing of the Shelby charger in the Omni ghl. That were manufactured in the belvedere plant and possibly Kenosha Wisconsin also. But he ended up picking up a Shelby charger it was not considered a Dodge because there's enough car parts changed to be considered its own car.
Congratulations Hoovie on this amazing opportunity to own a great piece of racing history !
This explains why you sold the other Mustang so easily lol
Beautiful! I saw one at SCCA Nationals in Lincoln, Nebraska some years back. The guy owned it from the late 60's and he raced in CAM-T class. Coolest car ever!
Hoovie, this is a keeper of keepers, a true dream car. I remember as a kid cutting out a picture from a popular mechanics magazine of this car and putting it on my “car wall.” Drive carefully!
I remember seeing GT 500 and 350’s in the mid 80’s when they were only about 20 years old. Tyler is rubbing shoulders with the big boys in the car industry. Thanks for letting us tag along
I want to see Wizard when he sets his eyes on this....he's literally going to make a wet spot in his BVDs......
Wizard is the kind of guy that wears BVDs
He's not going to get any work done for a week looking at this car.
@@Hellblaue210 If hoovie was smart (or a shit disturber) he'd park this across the street and say "you can't touch it neener neener neener" lol
Want to take it for a drive?
YESSSSSSSSS
PSYCHE you can't touch it you can't touch it lol
Like he said, if someone bought the mustang, he’d just go out and buy another one.
A much better investment than stock or real estate. A beautifully restored and built peice of history and rolling art! A wonderful purchase and so good to see you enjoying the fruits of your success. So very happy for you! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
Your collection just keeps getting better and better! I think this has to be the best sounding car of the lot!
This is so cool! The only questions left unanswered in this video is: What was under the other, GT40-shaped, car cover? ;-)
I was just saying that in my head, maybe a factory 5 kit car?
Or superformance
My thoughts also Ford GT
He's a Ford guy. It's a GT40.
I can't wait to see the car wizards relaction to Tyler's latest purchase
Why?
Its not real its all an act fanboy.
@@pissoff234 let people have fun smh
I wonder how many Miles Prower it does...
@@Hehehehhehehehehehehehhe78
Nobody's talking to you border jumper so zip it.
@@pissoff234 na
By far.... my favorite episode. Mostly because my parents owned a 66 Hertz back in 1970 when I was but a toddler. Thankfully we have a couple pictures, wonderful memories!!
Tyler is living the dream of every car guy and his viewers are financing it. But, he works hard at producing interesting content which is why he has had his success.
I predict he'll get rid of his hoopties in the future and move upmarket to more exotics. Best of luck Tyler! 😊
This is awesome, Hoovie! Hope to see you at Road America next July at the annual summer vintage. It is a fantastic event.
I can’t ever see this depreciating, might be a fantastic investment
Buy high and sell low!
forgot the /s
@@benchoflemons398 all these kids that are calling cars "investments" cant tell their ass from their elbow. Not loosing your ass on a car doesn't make it a investment lol.
A wall could depreciate it pretty quickly.
"The car of my dreams" for the 40th time!
Hoovie! Don’t worry about making it for road use, why would you bother? You’ll get to enjoy maybe 10% on the road. Keep it strictly race it’s been done so well I personally wouldn’t change a thing.
To make this a comfortable "Road Car" would cost $20K and would totally KILL the value of it. Leave it as is and have fun with it at Car Meets and take it to the Race Track a couple of times before you sell it in a few months.
When it comes time to sell more cars. This one will need to be one that stays no matter what. its a rolling piece of art and history!
By far my fav car of Hoovies fleet. Congrats!!
Great acquisition. FF sakes keep this one.
The backstory is close. I'm pretty sure Iacocca said he wanted it done, Shelby said something along the lines of 'you can't make a stallion out of a mule', and Iacocca said I didn't ask you, you work for me.
Carroll said “ I can’t make a racehorse out of a mule.”
I want a Kansas UA-cam Grand Prix - race between Hoovie, John Ross, 100% Jake, Elliot, Wizard, Ninja, etc. Tavarish can do the tech inspection. Ed Bolian as the announcer.
You forgot Westlin Champlin
As the least known Kansas UA-cam Mafia member with the most track experience I am very on board with this lol
Good luck to you mate.
Goes to show, you hustle hard and success and all its spoils comes your way!!
cue in video in near future Tyler on track vintage racing & totally wrecking his dream car ahh the fun we are all in for ... keep on keeping on Hoovie
It is absolutely beautiful.👊
Are we just going to gloss over that it looked like that man has a GT40 underneath that gray car cover?
It definitely did and he's obviously a ford guy
You can always just wire in another kill switch hidden where only you know where it is instead of a keyed ignition, or two if you want to really keep people from trying to steal it…
A battery kill toggle switch is exactly what it needs. Hide it well and worry far less.
Excellent Buy Hoovie! Enjoy it..
I love that the guy he bought it from is a big time Ford guy, F-150, GT40 and buying a new GT500. My kind of person.
Back to 40 cars and crippling debt in 3, 2, 1...
Pretty sure he doesn't have crippling debt...
@@williamegler8771 But can he get there? Yes he can! The next car he buys will be a Gullwing, and after that... well... :)
That is a beautiful car, Tyler. So happy to see folks realize life-long dreams :).
Awesome car! Don't break it.🤣🤣
Well done. If anyone should have one, it’s you.
Best wishes from Australia.
I turned up the volume for this one, beautiful car, sounds and looks. Nice job Tyler 🙌🏻
I fear that after some Hoovie track time" this car wont be so pristine.
My thoughts exactly!! It’ll either end up hitting the wall or he’ll blow up another engine lol
I think the dude made the right move . the gt 500 will be more “modern” and fun to drive.
Can't go buy a classic at the dealer. New car will fall in value not a classic
@@fredsaunders987 he’s obviously never driven a classic
@@fredsaunders987 most new cars are still holding good value right now. With everyone starting to go fully electric expect these final few years of high horsepower internal combustion engines to become quite valuable over the next 10 to 15 years.
@@fredsaunders987 I hear ya. In this case I don’t think the owner was lacking in toys.
Why not both? It's not like H cars will ever drop in value.
Why was tony orlando always happy every morning?
He woke up at the "crack of dawn"
(I'll show myself out now)
That last picture on the trailer , gives such a legendary / iconic vibe to it.. that I will reminiscent for many many years , and 20 years later wow.
Hope he towed it with a cover on it.
Best part of vehicle is where it came from. Phoenix, Arizona. HUGE tall sign you have potentially a good car with no rust that was maybe garaged and preserved. All my cars last FOREVER and are a blast to drive in this climate. Grats you sob!
Out of all of Hoovies cars this is one is by far the most mid life crisis car. Looks like a football jacket we were never cool enough to wear.
I have to take issue with your statement about being the ‘coolest Mustang ever’. I think Steve McQueens’ Bullitt Mustang may trump your one. Just. 😉
No chance
That things SICK!!!
CARGASM! You are living the absolute dream Tyler. Thank you for taking us along and letting us live vicariously through you.
That Mustang is quite literally one of my 5 bucket list dream cars I've had since I was like 14yrs old....what a beautiful machine....
