Next you should find the cheapest zo6 corvette or zl1 camaro next and find out what ones really best. Since they aged
I was already looking at buying Aura. I will use your code. They are a great company from my research.
New Hollywood teeth ? 🥂
Not bad dude. Damn. Good buy.
You should have the clutches in the differential checked, it looked like it wasn’t locking in your last video.
*It warms my heart to see a gt500 with over 200,000 miles on it. Used for it’s intended purpose: driving. Not wasting away in a garage somewhere.*
Carroll Shelby is smiling, you know it. He made it for the modern man.
Garage queens
Why are you typing in bold...
@@epiccowboymemes2042 *You could've asked a more pertinent question than that..*
@@epiccowboymemes2042 because I can. Why are you triggered by such a small thing? Is your life that boring and problem free?
To whoever it was that put 200k miles on this thing. Yes!!!! well done for enjoying the hell out of your car and not turning it into a expensive paper weight.
And it’s not a hooptie!
Props to Ford for making a Mustang that FINALLY made it to 200,000 miles... (I'll bet the engine was rebuilt, though, and we just don't know it yet)
@@NorthernChev200,000 isn’t alot on a ford… maybe for a Chevy
@@Joebummy ...read it again. It says Mustang, and both Hoovie AND Wizard agree in the video that Mustangs do NOT see this type of mileage on average. Most likely due to the type of person that buys them and how they drive them. And most Chevrolets average about 265,000. And BTW, we now know from the update that the engine in THIS Mustang - HAS in fact been rebuilt. So..........
@@NorthernChev Agreed but in all those miles, it apparently hasn't nibbled at a single pedestrian. How'd that not happen?
200k miles? Absolute legend. Did the owner worry about residuals? Nope, they wanted to hear that supercharger whine as the horizon got closer.
So cool 😎 I hope someday I can do the same
The msrp on these cars back then although not cheap weren't stupid expensive like they are now so someone with a little money to burn wouldn't mind driving and enjoying the car.
Original owner made full use of his residuals.
@@ronj1982 Mustang Dark Horse is pretty much the same price as shelby was in 2008, and similar specs.
Still dreams about it!!
Whenever I drop my car off for repair, I get an Uber ride back home. Whenever Hoovie drops off a car, he drives back home in one of his cars that's ready to go.
Brilliant observation
He saves money on Uber cost.
@@wesasher87 LOL, HAHA, $3700 can pay for a lot of Uber rides. But then he would not have an AMG to drive home.
I ask the shop for a ride home, most of them do it if I live close especially the dealer
For some reason, high mileage performance cars like these are more appealing to me than showroom clean cars.
same with women?
I’m the same about old Harleys, I can’t afford a new one!
@@TopClips7777 especially with women!
Agreed. If a car is too pristine, you end up feeling you have to keep it that way. Plus, if the car has high mileage, that means it's actually usable.
@user-xf3ui4te3w depending what you gonna do with that woman in particular
It's not the diff's fault, it's people who do stupid things.
Ford made the 05+ mustangs with much more grip, that's why you very rarely see someone acting crazy in an 04 or earlier mustang ever make an appearance in a crowd hitting video. Slide one at your own risk.
Lol I turn off TCS on my humble FBO 4.6 3V and it spins like a top. Crazy ON/OFF powerband.
Watched a teenage girl in daddy's lifted bronco show odd for the boys fishing at the city park. Knew she was going to knock over a fence before it cut back left on her spinning in the dirt.
Never the car always the driver
That lose nut behind the wheel - always an common failure point.
Hey Hoovie!
My grandpa had one of these, original owner for 10 years. He sold it on in 2017 or 2018, something like that. It had maybe 60k on it then. He had this exact spec! With speaking to family and some online research, he had a 2008 GT500 in Vapor Silver with Ebony stripes (this color). He insisted on getting the stripe deleted and so did this one! The more I look into it, the more likely it is that this is his car! They only made 930 of these, including all the ones with the stripes on top! I wish there was a way to confirm tho lol. I’d love to show him his car on UA-cam!
That would be cool if it was the same car!
I am amazed that after 210K miles, this car is in such good condition. I'm guessing adult owned, highway miles.
And it’s not a hooptie!
wallmart management or next door shop/store-owner ( Chinese restaurant or drive-in ) if its the same one that parked in Lexington NE
@@richardprice5978 It's a California car...
Wealthy too at 10mpg !
Adult owned? The owner was still young when this car was new! (not so young now though..) 😁
The wizard is the ultimate man, riding in a manual GT500 without a seatbelt.
That takes courage!
It could also be how much he trusts Hoovie.
@@BariLopeshyou can’t say shit like that without backing it up. Troll.
@@BariLopesh That sounds like BS, go find something else to do troll
@@BariLopesh Does your uncle work at Nintendo as well?
Passengers are safer than pedestrians.
18:07 rusty trombone can see why Hoovie got sick now 😂
It’s at 17:50 bud…
April is a dirty boy?
Wizard: “But how does it get rusty?” 🤔😆
Happy to see Hoovie healthy
Came to write the same. Hope April is healing up well also. ~ Chuck
Lol okay Grandma
Oh they been sick
@@johnpapia8128yes he had crabs
He's coughing😮💨🤧 all over Weezard in the Shelby, thus giving him Crabs, Covid, & Pneumonia, & the Flu too...
It's wonderful to see a Mustang like this with 210k on the odometer! It was an owner who effectively ENJOYED the car and made it fulfill its role...
As a VQ owner, I am more than proud to say i've kept the exhaust stock for all 5 years of ownership.
It’s all about the right exhaust setup, I have high flow cats and HKS catback on my G37 and love it. Sounds unique with no drone.
Had a 1999 Maxima for a work/winter beater for a couple years, the exhaust rusted and fell off behind the resonator and it made that god awful VQ elephant farting through a trombone noise... Usually I'm all about crawling under my random shitboxes with a sawzall and replacing mufflers and resonators with straight sections of pipe, but that car was the exception, I crawled under there with a chunk of pipe and couple clamps and made it quiet 😂
I had hks axlebacks on my g37x. Deepened the tone 'just' right, zero drone and no vq trumpet noises.
High flow cats with a Motordyne for me 👌
@@FrankieJ1981fffffaaaaart cackle,cackle ffffffart
I just restored a 2007 GT/CS only has 300HP 5 speed but its still lots of fun to cruise around in, nice buy!
Nice!! I'm getting ready to restore my GT Premium Deluxe now that my kids are older and not stuffing French fries in the seats when I am not looking
Nice man. I also have a ‘07 GT with almost 200k and ol 3v is still running strong!
The opening sequence of "I Am Legend" did a ton of imprinting on young me. Mr. Shelby would also love to see one of his blessed creations still ripping 15 years later.
Last supercharged v8 I drove was a 1996 2dr Tahoe I helped put a trutrac locker in and this mustang would walk all over that. Such a great buy Tyler! Glad you’re feeling better! This car definitely has given more smiles per mile than any other car in the hooptie fleet.
5:00 "Actually you're the one that benefitted..." Hoovie picked a winner (for once).
Tyler & Dave are quite a pair. The astounding variety of autos they are saving for prosperity!
Glad to see you feeling better. Hope April is recovering well from her surgery.
I am glad you are feeling better Tyler
I'm so glad you are doing better this week. I also love that you and Wizard go over and share the cost of these repairs. Have a great week ahead.
Hey Hoovie, FYI that is definitely not a factory suspension. The blue parts (lowering springs and sway bars) are Ford Performance aftermarket parts. The panhard bar appears to be Steeda and is adjustable to make up for axle moving slightly as a result of the lowering. The shocks/struts are red and that has me thinking they might be Pedders units. All in all, not a bad setup. Change out those bushings and the motor mounts and consider some rear control arm relocation brackets and maybe even new rear lower control arms and you will have a good handling setup that launches well with all that power…pretty good for that car for not much money.
The blue springs are probably Roush or Ford Performance. I’d put Bilstein shocks and struts on it. Those are great and were used on the 03-04 Cobra Terminators from the factory.
we've gone from the wizard looking inconceivably uncomfortable on camera in his first appearance to him directing the editor.
As a 21 yr old I love the cars of the era from the ‘49 town and country
too bad they are out of reach pricewise
Awesome to see one that’s been enjoyed so much. I just went the opposite way, bought a 12 GT500 with about 5,500 miles on it.
..the glorious sound of a super charger. Well bought Ty
Good to see you back and kickin' Hoovie!! All the best!
Glad you're feeling better Hoovie!
Good to see a video - was worried whatever crud you had last time ran you into the ground.
really enjoyed the work and talking about the Town and Country. What a beautiful and well made machine. Good old days of leaded gasoline
I knew Daniel when he worked down here in FL! Great guy, weird to see him on Hoovies channel.
So glad to see project Ralliart is coming together after the set back. Looking forward to seeing the final result Sean! Good luck.
Thanks for the update on the fleet... glad you are on the mend.
Glad your felling better Tyler. Hopefully April is getting better as well. Looking forward to "Good Morning You Tube"!!!
I am looking forward to the next Good Morning UA-cam as well! Such great chemistry between these two in their discussions.
Glad you're getting better Hoovie & it's just the flu. Hope everyone there is on the mend, take care. ❤
Makes a good break for the usual BMW/Merc stuff he's had over the last 2-6 months
And the 1940 stuff... 😂
Yea lol
And it’s not a hooptie.
Good that you are back!!
Waiting for the morning show!!
Nice catch on this gt500
2:21 Hey Wizard and Hoovie, mine had 231'000 miles ! 😝 Still going strong only problem I had was with the fuel line rotting but once it was fixe everything was running great again...
I Am Legend was the first time I saw this car and immediately loved it
I loved that part. That was a couple years before the next gen Challenger and Camaro came around. Ford definitely nailed it before the others
Glad you're back Hooovie, missed your ideos
You've got a good show, I like the bill analysis, it goes along with diagnosis.
🖖
One of your best videos I felt there with you guys. So natural
Most people in my age group (I’m 23) really don’t appreciate cars like that old town and country. It’s a beauty and I really hope there are enough others like me to keep these things alive.
I had a 2006 GT in remarkably good shape with 134,000 miles on it. No smoke out the exhaust. I’m a Mopar guy, but I thought I would try out the dark side. Despite the axle, it was a great car, easy to work on with a big aftermarket. I slapped in a Borla axle back system and had one of the best exhaust sounds in acceleration. The only thing I didn’t like about the 4.6 was the spark plugs. Broke 2 pulling them. Spent $100 on special tools to remove the broken plugs. Overall a fun car as long as you aren’t near crowds of people
I have a 2006 gt with 110,000 miles, and I am scared as hell to do a tune up. Good thing it still drive fine, but I know one day I will have to do it 😢
I replaced plugs, the ones I put in, I used some nickel antisieze around the smooth base of the plug, NOT the threads. It’s not the thread that seize, it’s the long electrode tip that seizes with carbon buildup. I also replaced the coils, throttle body and injectors. Be careful and gentle with the plastic electrical connections on the injectors, they get brittle. That is my limited experience working on the Mustang. There are a lot of more knowledgeable people and videos out there.
I love seeing that same beetle everytime you go in the shop. Love that car!
Glad to see you looking better and back on it 👊
Another reason this car may have been sold is that it won’t pass CA Smog check since the VMP Supercharger does not have a CARB #.
As a freelance orchestral trombone player, they don't rust, but the insides can get CRUSTY if you don't keep 'em flushed. Well they would if they ever dried out in there.
I have 210k on my 3v. Has been an absolutely fantastic car and reliable af! Same here with the bushings. Not the fault of the car....."things" just wear out. Great score!
Okay, I though the Hemi had the coolest sound, but that Mustang sure sounds good.
Wizard is ruthless.😅😂 Tyler sick? Pay bill! Tyler sick and over extended? Pay bill!!!😅😂
Wizard got his own bills to pay!
14:32 I love how Hoovie immediately stops shaking it and sets it down when he hears its lead lol
These are bulletproof, I love mine! I am never selling it! It’s 2010 ! Great to see this car on your channel!❤
Glad to see you up and about. I hope April and Neelix are well also!
Hope Chakotay is doing OK as well! 😉
Im glad you’re getting better always looking forward for a new video cheers 🎉
just as i bought a high milage 09 v6 auto you come up with these videos. love the series and love this car!
You gave wizard a heads up that you're coming and he seems way happier to see and be part of your video
Those shocks are Koni str shocks with ford racing springs! As for making fun of these cars. Having a 200+ k mile s197 is not a big deal. Plenty out there. These cars are the last simple mustangs that just require simple wrenching to keep going and they will still eat up 80% of what’s out there today. Love mine and keeping it for as long as I can.
I've got a 13 gt love it.
@@ruthlessreid9172 I have a 2012 GT, it’s not getting out of my hands any time soon.
@@bryangillis1839 mine has 19 inch wheels and brembo brakes 94 on skid pad they handle great as long as traction control is on!!
Glad you are on the mend Hoovie, I love that cobra.Thumbs up from Australia 🤠👍🇦🇺
Love the return to classic Hoovie's Garage style!
Really cool Mustang, and glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Tyler for buying the cars we dream about and showing how jacked they are when ran up in mileage... Hoovie to the rescue...I mean wizard and company 😊
That drivetrain is incredibly reliable as well as the car in general! Not surprised he didn’t find any big issues!!
Nice Cutlass convertible! I had a 91 Cutlass Supreme International with the same color scheme and wheels. Mine wasn't a convertible, but was was very, very rare with the 3.4 DOHC v6 and Getrag HM-284 5 speed manual transmission. It had quad leather buckets, digital dash, H.U.D. it was one of 109 made that year with the 3.4-5 speed combo. They made less than 500 3.4 -5 speed w bodies in a 2 year run between the z34, grand prix, and Cutlass. 91 and 92, there was one 93 GP made with the combo, but no others.
My dad had 04 audi s4 with a tune that made to 200 ish and a vw 04 r32 that made it to 230,xxx. Glad to see others use their cars as intended
I love how army veterans think they don’t need to wear a seat belt because they’re going to need to quickly exfill. We love you Wizard. Wear your seatbelt.
15:28 him knowing before he even checks is why he’s called the wizard
I'm happy to see you back.
I've been looking at thar generation GT500 and thought the prices on then had probably come close to bottoming out. I guess now that Hoovie bought one, Alex is gonna get one and Freddie is gonna get one and in 6 months they will have doubled in price. Very cool car though and one of my favorites.
Recommendations for Mods from a Mustang Enthusiats. 3.73 Axle Ratio with a good LSD. I personally like an Eaton Posi, my buddy likes the Detroit Tru-Trac. 1-pc Aluminum driveshaft. McLeod RXT Clutch + Flywheel, It'll take some serious abuse. Anything from VMP related to Cooling. BMR everything for the rear (control arms, drop bracket, panhard bar, upper arm etc). And then a nice suspension kit (shocks/strut/springs/sway bar) GET IT AS A KIT so the springs match the sway bar and the shock/strut travel. You can squeeze 285s square on those Shelby without mods (not even wheels). with a 10" wide rim and a space rup front, 305 wide. Thats the trick to get these to handle well. Stiff suspension, lots of tire, good LSD.
Our brotherly dynamic duo has returned hallelujah ❤ my heart is full the hilarious content I need 19:26 wizard goes full judge Judy. Lol 😂. No excuses
I have an 07 3v with similar miles. The evap systems on them all do the same thing and immediately guessed it before wizard even looked for the code. Between the fill neck or the canister connections - its inevitable that they leak in some way on these, usually not just the gas cap. Its annoying too because the gas tank is all tucked up in there pretty tight.
Also look really close into front corner of the driver side rear wheel well. It rusts there pretty normally and stays well hidden until its already done its damage. Its hard to spot because you have to pop the skirt off to see if there's anything going on. I think a drain gets clogged...
I'm not a Ford guy but when I was a mechanic I drove one just like this. Fun car, still prefer my 06 GTO. Especially if it had a blower
The fact that the 06 gto puts out 400+hp is insane. Such an underrated car.
@@alexcat321 yeah I miss that one
Tyler - I had a 2008 6-cylinder (my daughter's car) with the peeling door vinyl inserts. I had a local vinyl wrap shop strip the original vinyl and sand off the foam - then put a carbon-fiber looking wrap on it. Looked great!
I've always wanted a Shelby GT500. May have to make you an offer on this some day. Keep up the great work Tyler!
From an 07 gt500 owner with 129k on the clock i love this ones been driven. These cars never have miles on them and its not because they arent reliable in fact its quite the opposite guys just love to waste them away in garages for whatever reason they need to be out and driven and enjoyed so props to the original owner of this car. My 07 aint my daily but i drive it every chance i get when its nice on weekends and stuff and i dont care one bit about miles. That is the last thing im worried about. .i change the oil once a year or 5k whatever comes first amsoil signature series full synthetic 10w40.
Good to have you back😊 when Good Morning UA-cam coming back?
Tyler I love your videos! Never get tired of them. Could your next video be about a Toyota Tundra or Land Cruiser or Sequoia? These things never die 😂
O wow that Olds convertible in the background! One of my dream cars.
The fact that Wizard stores a lot of your cars for you even knowing it will be a week or longer waiting on parts before he/them can touch it again is pretty cool. And deserved!
it's nice to see you feel better
Yahoo Hoovie is back in the game 🏁🏁🏁
Good to see you Hoover us Kansas Boys gotta stick together
I got a 07 Mustang with a 4.0 v6, and it runs like a dream.
It has 193k miles on it too!
Remove all 4 of those catalytic converters too!
It'll add at least 10 hrsprs
I just watched Ian Tyrell feature on the Bentley Turbo R history. And I just want to apologize but I still love the concept.
Hoovie paying the bill is best part of the vid. 😆
That Town & Country wow. What a work of art!
Appreciate the new content 🙏
It’s not a solid axle that makes them crash, it’s the shit drivers and I traction.
too many horses and not enough wheelbase
I use to work right down the street from vmp some of the Dyno runs you hear are wild
You got such a steak on that GT500. Can't wait to see all of the other Hoopties cruising around too!!!
Finally an update on my favorite Ferrari hoovie has ever owned
Your GT500 never failed its CA smog test. One time in 2019 the monitors weren't ready but that's it. It always passed smog, most recently in 2021.
Love this series on the Stang!
I like the recap you guys did on the different vehicles 👍🏿😂
You caught the CoBits, looks like you had a bad case of it too. Glad you recovered well.
You're missing the front air dam. Fyi. Also you have the interior upgrade package with the leather covered dash. Interior ambient lighting and aluminum pedals. The package is fairly rare.
Nice car Hoovie , get well soon Sir
No one mentioned the last Knight Rider ( Shelby KR ) reboot 😔.
I also can't remember this TV show like the gumball rally race where two guys took a Shelby GT500 KR across the country race against an avalanche and some other cars.
The town and country is beast 💪🔥
DONT USE THE GREEN GATES! They will squeal more than the basic belts. Ive owned 12 Cobras and several times had that issue and green belts always made it worse. Gates makes an RPM series belt for high HP blown engines and they work great!
