To car manufacturers and some high end builders: THIS is Hot Rodding! No need for 1,000+hp and bunch of turbos. THIS is real!! I need 30 minutes of driving and no talking. Music and enjoyment. Thank you sir for building this amazing Stang.
Guys who don’t know how to drive or only want to own a car to show off can’t understand how fun a naturally aspirated little sport car really is. People only care about numbers, not the actual experience of driving. I would much rather drive an rx2 with around 100 horsepower than a modern turbo’d 1000hp car all these people lust over these days. These carbuerated stangs can really only hope for around 400hp NA with an upgrade block and every possible race upgrade to the motor, and they are still way more simple and fun than a hellcat or a Supra. Then there’s also how much power is actually usable… if you’re breaking traction in every gear and giving 1/10th of the throttle needed to go everywhere, it’s not as fun of a driving experience as a car with power bands, that you can wind out and go through the gears in to make fast. Straight line racing is over rated. I want a canyon carver.
@@AutotopiaLA sounds awesome. Funny when I pictured canyons in the description, I pictured New Zealand tight roads.-These are almost superhighways where I come from.!
Jay Leno talks about that all the time. When a car is set up right with the right power and weight balance, it's more fun to drive than something with too much power.
I REALLY like this man's attitude, and how the car clearly looks like he drives the absolute snot out of it. Props to him for actually enjoying his car!
@@AutotopiaLA Amen to that, man! I aspire to one day have my own version of my dream car, and essentially be pretty much like him with it lol. It's very refreshing to see a super cool and fun car being properly driven and enjoyed as it should be. 😎 P. S. - I know you've heard it 1000 times, but yes, that thing sounds MEAN as hell. I absolutely love the exotic high-revving sound coming out of a car that looks like that. Awesome build, and great vid. 🤙
Back when my father in law had '66 GT 350H (automatic) a daily ummm driver . At a Mustang Anniversary Car Show he's got it displayed, some lady walks up looks comments "It's filthy..blah blah blah" in disgust. Thinking to myself wonder what she drives. Saw her later parading putt putt along in pristine 65 GT 350 trailered garage queen . Bet that ain't "A Grocery Getter" 🤣
@@WineFi Yeah, like the classic old saying, different strokes for different folks! I don’t think she needed to come up to you and make fun of you because your car was dirty and what not. But either way, we all know that she’s not REALLY enjoying her car. I’m not saying you need to beat the living hell out of it. But at least drive it! Take it on a spirited back road drive or a road trip every once in a while! To her, that’s just a show car. Oh well!
This reminds me of my first true build I ever did in 1976. I started with a 1965 Mustang coupe. Paid $400.00 for the car. 289 4sp. Took an article from Hot Rod magazine on a strip/street 289 build to my local engine builder and said built that exact motor. HR claimed the motor as built would produce 425hp+- on premium fuel. Had the T&C top loader completely rebuilt and upgraded the clutch and shifter. Added a 9" with 4.11 gears. Pistons were 12.5/1 comp, roller cam, Holley 750cfm dbl pump on an Edlebrock hi-rise. Gutted everything I could out of the car to save weight. Added a roll bar, upgraded the brakes and suspinsion. Painted it Candy Apple Red. Only got one ticket over the next two years. Best 1/4 time slip was around 11.8 on Super Stock M50/15's smoking the tires the whole way. The car looked great and sounded better. So much fun to drive. Actually met my future wife at the drag strip while racing it one weekend in 1976. Still have the wife. Car is long gone but what great memories. I put my headphones on and listened to Daves car pulling gears, close my eyes and am transported back in time. THANK YOU
Carroll Shelby would be proud... love the original look, rough, and road ready....straight up street machine. car is badass, not a ford guy either.. but this exact combo is perfect. this is what people fell in love with back in the day
Being a classic car fan, the mustang is impeccable and sounds great. The exhaust sound is way different from anything ive heard. Sounds like a racecar.
I am 76 years young, if I owned this car, I know that I would be getting Tickets often as I Love the Sound of going through the Gears in a Muscle Car. The Birth of this Mustang was my Era...
Always love an owner who encourages the guest driver to give it heaps. Made my Easter monday. Sydney, Australia, 5.0 Windsor, 5 spd Tremec, LSD, IRS, in an Aussie built Ford Falcon.
What can you say but this is a real muscle car. Little beat up, old carpet and a sound that can't be beat by cars 10 times more expensive. Outstanding work!!!
The exhaust note of the last engine was beyond amazing....this engine and exhaust note is beyond words.......sooooooo cool... I could listen to his forever!
Actually your hearing ability stop after about 30 mins in a car like this without hearing protection, wear ear plugs because you can still enjoy the sound but you won't damage your ears
By far the best car/owner duo. That car is an extension of that owners personality and character. Love that fact that he drives it like beast because thats what they are for, show cars are cool but this man his making life-long memories
What a unique, high strung beastly sound that car makes. I love the fact he builds his cars to drive the piss out of them as intended. Whether it's all motor or boosted, small or big block, 500 or 1000 HP +, owners that truly understand how to drive their cars is a treat our senses as viewers.
The idea that this car is driven for fun and not to be pampered in anyway is the best......I wish there were more cars out there like this one.....this car wants to be driven hard......what a gem!
Wonderful ❤. Best Mustang sound I ever heard was a 66 GT350S, cammed out, bored and stroked to a 347, screaming down the front straight at VIR at 9000 RPM. It was orgasmic. I was in a different run group, so I could watch from the paddock.
Technically it's a 302 because 302's and 289's are the same block(4.00in bore) The pistons/rods/crankshaft are what separate them cubic inch wise.This guy just put a 302 rotating assembly in this block so now it's a 302.
Didn't he say that it's a 360? That the builders dynod other 360s and made 550 to 600hp. They're not revving high enough for the math on a 4.8l, but 5.8l at 560 to 600hp with that kind of RPM makes more sense.
This is the way to build a classic car. I love cars like this that are not show cars and you don't mind taking it out and having fun with it. My wife's uncle has a 70' mustang with a 302 that he put a modern 5 speed in. It's nothing fancy and he daily drives it, no concern for getting it dirty.
Finally got my 1st $$ paint job around 2010. First time out of the paint shop tow truck guy did damage...fixed it, got stuck in a downpour first drive. Laughed about it, cars were made to drive, use it or lose it! DIdnt "get ruined" by the know it alls back then.
There have been some amazing cars on this channel over the years. This is hands down my favorite one. The guy is just enjoying this machine. I love what he does with it. This car deserves to be driven this way. There are enough restored garage queens out there already.
I love this guy, he would have been my best friend back in the sixties. I've had several small block fords including a 65 mustang hardtop. Great fun. The young guys have missed so much in the past 50 years.
I purchased a 66 Mustang coupe back in 21 from a friend out of impulse.. 2 days ago I finally got it home and this video is the inspiration for what the car is going to going to become ..
This. Is. Awesome. I can understand the desire for people to collect cars but I never understood people who didn't drive them and work them. This guy is awesome. I love the fact he drives it like a sports car and makes it work. His attitude is like ehhh.. if it breaks I'll fix it and drive it some more. Awesome. Just awesome.
This is by far my favorite car you have ever shot. Super cool dude and the car is freakin bad ass. If I could pick one guy to take me for a ride it would be him. It’s just a simple beast
I’ve always loved Dave’s personality. Seen him being interviewed before. Dave drives the balls off the car and brings the sound of hell coming down the road!
You were right, this car is wicked, it's bold, it's raw, it's wild... It cannot be more Mustang than this one, it's a reference. No matter newer ones are quicker, faster, whatever, when we think about a TRUE Mustang, this is the one to remember. Man I'm glad I came back and subscribe to your Channel. Thank you to bring us this master piece of a car on YT. Cheers from Montreal, Canada.
there should be an ASMR video or something of the sound of this car, i almost cried listening to how intoxicating and addictive this car sounds, i own a 16 Shelby GT350 and fell in love with how it sounds and i cant drive it like a normal human because of how intoxicating and addictive it is, until i heard this, and now i feel like this is the best sounding V8 i have ever heard, i am a proper gear head and been around all sorts of muscle cars, exotics and owned quite a few of them, this single handedly took the win for me, much respect to the owner and Autopia for showing us this car
Absolutely freaking phenomenal! As wonderful as the first version of this GT 350 sounded, this actually stepped it up, which truly is amazing! What a beautiful and most wonderful machine you’ve got there, my brother! True love at its finest! Congratulations my friend, what a dreamboat !!!
I love this guys attitude!!! Just drive it and have fun. A lot of people are so focused on hp and looks instead of just driving it and enjoying the experience Such a great video!
That gt 350 just sounds ........ Words can,t really describe it . Howls then screams. Stunning for sure , like it's turning 12 grand. love it for sure.
Holy crap that resonant sound at 6K and up is just a gorgeous harmony of automotive accomplishment. Gives me goose bumps over and over again just hearing it. I'm a GM guy but have to admit that this Ford is probably just about the best sounding V8 I've ever heard.
Since the first reveal ive been a fan. All the cars and truck on here are superb, but this mustang has to be my favorite. You can literally see the soul of that car. And the owner drives it the way the car wants it to.
The 13 to one compression is the secret to the sound. You need to hear a 427 dual quads with 12.5 or 13 to one and high lift cam at 7,000 RPM. Worst mistake of my life, selling that car; it would wake up people a half mile away.
Brings me back to High School and guy in town had a build 289 with a radical cam and 4 speed. Of all the cars you have reviewed this is my favorite and I’m a mopar fan. Natural
Not gonna lie, hearing this car damn near brings tears to my eyes. I love it. I have a 90 Supercharged 302 Fox and I want it to sound like this! Carroll would be so proud of this machine.
I grew up going to Road America in the '70s and '80s. For my money, This is the single best car you have reviewed! It literally Screams Race Car! Where's Tomy when you need him, eh?
Completely agree, grew up around road America, have a lake home close, love hearing the cars in summer. I'd love to hear this car scream around road America and the twisty roads that surround!
Haven't really seen many vids I felt the need to comment on, but this one rocks! I'm building up a first gen supercharged Mini Cooper I bought from my best friend and just hearing things like, "it's not a showcar" and seeing the wear and evidence of actually being driven really inspires me! Cars like this deserve to be featured like this, and keep the motivation up for guys like me who have a bit of an older car, and are trying their best to make it their own. It's not just about smiles per mile, rather, its personal worth to you and how you best connect with the beast you've built!
I absolutely love this car and the cool drive it like you stole it owner. I've got a 65 fastback 302, top loader and 9". If I can get it to sound like that it would be perfect. I'm curious about the solid roller cam and lifters. What brand and does it require any mods to the block or heads other than the obvious beefed up valve train?
I would love to live near him. The sound of that engine would never get old. The only thing better would be to go to four Webber 2 barrel carbs, what a sweet sound!
Absolutely one of my favorite cars you’ve ever shot, and just in general, building a 65’ 350R clone, that I’m drawing so much inspiration from Dave’s car, I’ve got a 67’ cougar with a tunnel port 427 side oiler and a 4spd that would be good company for Dave’s car.
It sounds the way it does through phone audio, hard to imagine it sounding better in person but it definitely does. No modern car can remotely compare.
Show of hands . How many guys out there writing down all the info of the build , and started your mustang search . Thank god i clicked this vid . Great car great sound great everything . Love the owners attitude and the fact it’s not a trailer queen.
I love seeing a high reving 289 instead of someone else swapping in something massive, and I love seeing a dude who doesn't care that the car doesn't look perfectly pristine. Bro just wants to drive the car and have fun.
I raced a 283 in my 37 Chevy Coupe years ago, it revved and sounded like this. I shifted it at 7000 RPM, believe me it is all you need for pure enjoyment. I have had blown stroked Hemis etc., but that little Revver was most Fun !
Remember the exhaust sound from that electric cobra ….me neither, this is the experience I want to have driving in the canyons, raw and visceral. This is it !!!
I love the used look on the car and how the driver drives it. If I had a car like this, I would probably daily it. The used look really gives it some soul
Exactly!! Current build is same way. Plenty of compression nasty solid roller, manual trans deep gears. Fun just cruising along at 40 listening to that cam that still isnt smoothing out yet
Sounds absolutely amazing and I love how he doesn’t give a crap about the paint. It’s all about enjoying the ride! Too many people get wrapped up in perfection, this right here is what it’s all about for me.
Love this guy.....he's truly certifiable......thanks for giving Fords some love. Small block Fords are so neat.....been rodding them for years. You can wind a 289 or 302 until only dogs can hear them. Carroll Shelby knew what he was doing. LOL The sound of this baby sorta reminds one of a Porsche 917 at full song in a way. Shaun.....you cracked me up having the cigarette...Mustangs are better than LOVE!
Okay Shawn, you've heard me say before that I'm not a Ford guy or a Mustang guy...HOWEVER! The Shelby cars are pretty damn cool. This happens to be my favorite Mustang to date on your channel. It's real, it's driven, it's perfect yet not perfect. Dave has a real gem here! I absolutely love this car!!!! So badass!!!

This is what I call "spirited driving" in a vehicle that isn't a million horsepower. Because you don't NEED IT! Hell of ride man.
The sound of this car actually gave me chills! What a build and I’m so glad it’s built to be driven HARD. Carroll would be incredibly proud!
I agree👌🏾
Carroll would only want to rip you off if he was involved.

If every old school GT350 driver was like Dave the world would be a better place! Nice job building that wicked car!

That gt 350 just sounds ........ Words can,t really describe it . Howls then screams. Stunning for sure , like it's turning 12 grand. love it for sure.
He said 8000 rpm
X-pipe, as well as a really drastic state of tune, is what you want if you’re after the *F.O.R.D. Sound.*
Holy crap that resonant sound at 6K and up is just a gorgeous harmony of automotive accomplishment. Gives me goose bumps over and over again just hearing it. I'm a GM guy but have to admit that this Ford is probably just about the best sounding V8 I've ever heard.
Since the first reveal ive been a fan. All the cars and truck on here are superb, but this mustang has to be my favorite. You can literally see the soul of that car. And the owner drives it the way the car wants it to.
Couldn’t agree more plus Dave is about the coolest person you could ever know
@@AutotopiaLA I Can tell from way he carries himself. I can see how u 2 r friends. Good people are becoming more precious by the day.
This was the first car I fell in love with was Black with Gold Stripes ,I'm 70 now ,I was in grammar school 👍💯
The X exhaust pipe! This is the secret to beautiful sound.
Yes. H pipes kill sound. So do flowmasters lol. H pipe and flowmasters is the worst combo
The 13 to one compression is the secret to the sound. You need to hear a 427 dual quads with 12.5 or 13 to one and high lift cam at 7,000 RPM. Worst mistake of my life, selling that car; it would wake up people a half mile away.
Brings me back to High School and guy in town had a build 289 with a radical cam and 4 speed. Of all the cars you have reviewed this is my favorite and I’m a mopar fan.
Natural
That Mustang sounds and looks amazing, never heard anything like it, it's beyond awesome !!!
Not gonna lie, hearing this car damn near brings tears to my eyes. I love it. I have a 90 Supercharged 302 Fox and I want it to sound like this! Carroll would be so proud of this machine.
I can't stop listening. It's like heaven
A man that actually drives a mustang the way it should be!! Awesome Car, thanks for sharing!!
I grew up going to Road America in the '70s and '80s.
For my money,
This is the single best car you have reviewed!
It literally Screams Race Car!
Where's Tomy when you need him, eh?
Like you, this car brought back vivid memories of race tracks we would frequent in the late 60s early 70s.
Completely agree, grew up around road America, have a lake home close, love hearing the cars in summer. I'd love to hear this car scream around road America and the twisty roads that surround!
I was grinning ear to ear watching this. This is the best sounding car in the world (to me). Thanks for sharing this so we can enjoy as well!
That car is everything I want my fastback to be! That car, your guys attitudes, and love for drive are fantastic!
Haven't really seen many vids I felt the need to comment on, but this one rocks! I'm building up a first gen supercharged Mini Cooper I bought from my best friend and just hearing things like, "it's not a showcar" and seeing the wear and evidence of actually being driven really inspires me! Cars like this deserve to be featured like this, and keep the motivation up for guys like me who have a bit of an older car, and are trying their best to make it their own. It's not just about smiles per mile, rather, its personal worth to you and how you best connect with the beast you've built!
It’s got me smiling and I’m not even driving the car 😂
Dude. I wanna know how much it is to build that.
@@Jay-rq8wb the whole car or engine?
I absolutely love this car and the cool drive it like you stole it owner. I've got a 65 fastback 302, top loader and 9". If I can get it to sound like that it would be perfect. I'm curious about the solid roller cam and lifters. What brand and does it require any mods to the block or heads other than the obvious beefed up valve train?
@@jonpowell5860simply just a x pipe setup
could imagine living next to this guy. there goes dave goin' for coffee at 2 in the morning....everyone's awake.
lol!
I would love to live near him. The sound of that engine would never get old. The only thing better would be to go to four Webber 2 barrel carbs, what a sweet sound!
This is by far my favorite car you’ve filmed. I’ve lost count how many times I have watched the original video.
What an exhaust valve orchestral masterpiece. My ears are still ringing after I had the sound way to high with my earphones Well Done Dave !! 🤩
Absolutely one of my favorite cars you’ve ever shot, and just in general, building a 65’ 350R clone, that I’m drawing so much inspiration from Dave’s car, I’ve got a 67’ cougar with a tunnel port 427 side oiler and a 4spd that would be good company for Dave’s car.
I loved the way it sounds.It sounds even better than it did before And how he hammers on it.
The best sounding car ever shown on the channel and build pure intoxication
It sounds the way it does through phone audio, hard to imagine it sounding better in person but it definitely does. No modern car can remotely compare.
The sound of this thing gives me fucking chills. Hell yah brother! 🤙🏼
Show of hands . How many guys out there writing down all the info of the build , and started your mustang search . Thank god i clicked this vid . Great car great sound great everything . Love the owners attitude and the fact it’s not a trailer queen.
HELL to the YES ! ! ! ! Just got home from work, grabbed a cold snack and now THIS !
I love seeing a high reving 289 instead of someone else swapping in something massive, and I love seeing a dude who doesn't care that the car doesn't look perfectly pristine. Bro just wants to drive the car and have fun.
This might be my favorite car you've done yet. This dude rules
I raced a 283 in my 37 Chevy Coupe years ago, it revved and sounded like this. I shifted it at 7000 RPM, believe me it is all you need for pure enjoyment. I have had blown stroked Hemis etc., but that little Revver was most Fun !
Remember the exhaust sound from that electric cobra ….me neither, this is the experience I want to have driving in the canyons, raw and visceral. This is it !!!
This is what car building is truly about at it's core,it's building YOUR car out,to YOUR specifications. Sidenote: your mustang sounds incredible!!
Love this car. It’s Raw. Screaming power. Love it
I love the used look on the car and how the driver drives it. If I had a car like this, I would probably daily it. The used look really gives it some soul
I hope this legend lives forever❤. Him and the car
Good lord, that exhaust note is something out of Nascar. I absolutely love the rawness of the car and street fighter look. Wicked build
Built small blocks remind me of two stroke motorcycles. Love the high RPM sound.
Exactly!! Current build is same way. Plenty of compression nasty solid roller, manual trans deep gears. Fun just cruising along at 40 listening to that cam that still isnt smoothing out yet
Sounds absolutely amazing and I love how he doesn’t give a crap about the paint. It’s all about enjoying the ride! Too many people get wrapped up in perfection, this right here is what it’s all about for me.
Best sounding Mustang out there…yes, I’ll be that guy, and mean every word of it!!! Right on Dave, Right On!!! 🤘🏼😎
Dave’s awesome and there’s nothing like his GT350
Just love the sound and the old school build and look...no computer daily in just simple raw sound and horse power 💪😀. All the best from Denmark 🇩🇰
Smiling,, I l love that beautiful sound and best mustang smiling
Easily the best sounding mustang I've ever heard. Never get tired of that sound. Almost sounds like a formula one racer when he's got the rpm's up.
It’s an amazing sound up in the r’s
Just a perfect car i think. Looks awesome and sounds amazing. I love the rooster walking around. Lol😂.
So glad to see this car return to the channel. Such an awesome gt350 👌
Good getting to reshoot it with that new engine
Dave is the absolute man! 🤟
That was thoroughly enjoyable. I love that sound. I love Dave's attitude. This is definitely one of your best episodes! Thank you
Thanks. Daves the coolest and his car is a special ride
Love this guy.....he's truly certifiable......thanks for giving Fords some love. Small block Fords are so neat.....been rodding them for years. You can wind a 289 or 302 until only dogs can hear them. Carroll Shelby knew what he was doing. LOL The sound of this baby sorta reminds one of a Porsche 917 at full song in a way. Shaun.....you cracked me up having the cigarette...Mustangs are better than LOVE!
gen1 chevys can do that also .At a certain rpm they get kinda quiet....ish .
Best sounding SBF I've ever heard.
Need thirty minutes of just car no talking
You're right. I gotta say it. Damn what a sound! Gives me chills and I'm not even hearing it in person!
It’s that good
Okay Shawn, you've heard me say before that I'm not a Ford guy or a Mustang guy...HOWEVER! The Shelby cars are pretty damn cool. This happens to be my favorite Mustang to date on your channel. It's real, it's driven, it's perfect yet not perfect. Dave has a real gem here! I absolutely love this car!!!! So badass!!!
Love it! Hard to not love this car and how Dave enjoys it
