That's a list I agree with.
100% Thanks for checking out my channel
@@blurredcarz No problem.
How could you, most of the information is Wrong. If you Agree with False Information, then i guess it's for you then.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Well then, correct that information, if you're the expert.
@@williammatthews2948 You don't gotta be an Expert, you just need some common sense. If you knew anything about Fords, you would understand.
You left out the best of them all, 1969 Boss 429 Mustang. Maybe the most valuable today too.
Stay tuned to the channel. I have a 60s muscle car video being produced right now. Thanks for checking out my channel
The 428 Cobra Jet was available in 1968 Mustangs, Cougars, Fairlane/Ranchero. The 428 CJ carried over to 1970 in the Mustang and Cougar. The Boss 351 was available in many colors, not just 2!! (The Chevy Camaro had the Z option starting in the year it first came out, 1967 and continued on from there, not 1970) Ford colors are called "Grabber" and the same exact color on a Mercury was called "Competition". Ford won the TransAm series in 1970 in a Boss 302. The Mach 1 was also available in 1971. The Torino Cobra came out in 1969, (different body, with a 428 Cobra Jet) and concluded in 1971. Interesting, the video says the Torino Cobra came with a 4 speed manual, yet the video feature car shows the optional automatic. The Shelby GT500 was produced from 1967 to 1970. (old school models, not counting the new stuff) The highest horsepower rating available on the '68 Torino would have been the 428 CJ at 335. No 427's were available from the factory for the Torino. The 289's were used in very early '68 as there were leftovers from '67 production, then phased over to the 302. HOLY COW, got everything right on the Talladega!!! Cougars had 4 speeds available since they came out in 1967. There were 4 colors only available for the Eliminator in 1969. Competition white/orange/yellow and Bright Blue Metallic. The blue Cougar at the end is a 1970, dressed in Competition Blue. Perhaps a little more research next time boys??
Thanks for checking out my channel and leaving a comment!
No one could make this many mistakes without trying. The first image is a white Boss 351 which is not listed in the two colors that he mentioned that they were available in. I'm not against people getting paid for clicks because it doesn't cost me anything, but we can't have a society that puts out massive inaccurate info just for clickes.
What about the Boss 351 in Grabber Blue?
I had a 67 gt500 first car in 76 I think after 67 Ford made all the shelbys not shelby American
@Kennybailey.;Thanks that made for sm reading.[Filled in a few..?.!too]Do you watch J Lenos.garage'

Is just Amazing.!😂e-way Think theres sm very Sweet.Machines.here.t.y.mate.😊
WOW how in the heck did he leave the 1969 Boss 429 mustang out of this list....??? 🤔🤔🤔
Don’t worry, I got another video being produced that focuses on Mustangs only. I didn’t miss it in that video. I appreciate you watching my videos.
My thoughts exactly!
I agree and missed the 71 429scj as well
67 ford fairlane too.
Give the guy another chance. I think he knows of the missed iconic Fords he left out. I questioned a few myself but he still did a great job. I love every one of those beauties listed. My dad always told me of the chances he had to buy some of those muscle cars. He loved Fords and I guess like father like son. I too fell in love with them. I was always partial to Cougars, Mustangs and Thunderbird's.
I've been out of the muscle car and Mustang restoration scene for a while now, and I may be completely ignorant, but the 428 Cobra Jet was available in the 1968 1/2 Mustang. Hot Rod magazine tested it and ran the quarter mile in 13.56 seconds. Bob Tasca is kind of credited with creating the 428 Cobra Jet. The Mustang Mach 1 with 428 CJ was available in 1969 and 1970, as was the Boss 302. The Boss 302 Mustang was intended to compete on the Trans Am circuit in the 5.0 liter classification against the 1967-1969 Chevy Z28, which had a 302 cid engine as well, albeit the Chevy small block. The 1971 SCJ Mach 1 was a 429 thin wall "385" series, unlike the 428SCJ which was part of the "FE" Y-block family which harkens back to the 352 cubic inch engine displacement of the 1950s. The 1970 & 1971 Gran Torino Cobra Jets were also of the 429 CJ "385" version. GT500s were produced from 1967 to 1970 but Carroll Shelby was pretty much out of the picture by 1970. The 1971 Boss 351 is rare but was available in many other colors such as Grabber Blue. It may have been intended to compete with the Chevy Z28 Camaro, but the Camaro was now a 2nd generation body and featured a 350 cubic inch engine, the top tier possibly known as the LT-1. The Chevy Camaro Z28 was introduced in 1967. The Boss colors were referred to as "Grabber" yellow, blue, red, white, et al. Ford also produced a Cobra Jet 351 for the 1971 year. Ford produced Mach 1 Mustangs in 1971 alongside the Boss 351, the most popular color, seemingly, was Grabber Yellow. The Boss 351 would be replaced with the 351 H.O. The Cougar Eliminator was the Mercury version of the Boss 302 and 428 CJ Mach 1 and featured all the specs as the Ford counterpart including all of the Grabber colors. As for anything else in this video, I am pleading ignorance.
Just as I thought, you missed the mark. The best performing Fords were the '63 Galaxie lightweight w/ the 427FE R-Code engine & the '66-'67 Fairlane w/ the 427FE R-Code. It was the 427FE engine that powered the Ford GT40's in '66 & '67 prototypes to overall wins at LeMans & many NASCAR wins in the Fairlane/Torino/Cyclone. The Fairlane R-Codes were also sold to the public. Unlike the lightweight Galaxie which was only sold to racers. It's to bad Ford didn't follow the lead of Carroll Shelby & the numerous race victories he earned. Ford Jr. was only about the money & beating Enzo Ferrari, but he had no drive to continue racing to better his cars.
Completely missed the Australian built Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3. More iconic/collectable and valuable than just about all of these.
Looks like he's only talking about the ordinary cars.
Xb gt hard top is a classic . americans missed out on that one too
Stay tuned! I got a great video on muscle cars NOT sold in the USA you will really like being produced right now!
@@blurredcarz That's good to hear. I hope you include the Ford Falcon GTs built in Australia. The XY GTHO Falcon was the fastest 4 door production car in the world when it was made.
@@johnboyd6943 those cars are slow
The 68 1/2 GT was the first mustang to have the 428 CJ

And i owned the last Q-code made 1974 351 cobra jet ranchero gt , 7years of “cobra jets”
That is Correct, there were Many Many Many Mistakes in this Video.

There are a lot of errors in this: Boss 351s were most definitely available in more than two colors, among others.

1971 fastback mach 1 with a Cleveland 351 4 value in Wimbledon white here
Exactly, and it wasn't "replaced" by the Mach 1, which had been a constant model since 1969, and continued for years after. These inaccuracies are unforgivable.
The 70 were the best decade for mustangs the last year of the original body in 1970, the big horse in 1971-73, the Mustang 2 in 1974-78, and the first year of the fox body in 1979
@@darkknight2960mine is grabber blue!
I had a Boss 302 bought off the showroom floor in Canada in 1969. Wonderful car - went like Hell - never found out it's top speed, I chickened out at 135 mph! Zero to 60 in about 5 seconds, (better time than most on this list) but it was still in second gear - man, that 302 Cleveland could rev! It was a DOG around town - could hardly get it out of second gear - but get it on the highway and WOOOWOOOO!! Got did of the shitty tires the first time I needed tires - put on Michelin radials - and I thought it went around corners nice before, but that turned it into rocket around the corners - and they were guaranteed for 50,000 miles! I drove it 180,000 miles in just over 4 years, most of it on mountain roads in British Columbia, winter and summer (rally studded tires all four corners in the winter), it never let me down one time - even in 40 below weather. Changed the oil and filter religiously every 4000 miles - hardly used a drop. Only ever touched the motor for tune-ups - had the rocker covers off ONCE, and put a new clutch in ONCE - and I drove it like Hell! The best thing that Ford ever made as far as I'm concerned - and I still drive a Ford here in New Zealand! Would hate to think what that Acapulco Blue rocketship is worth now!!
That is really cool! Thanks for watching my our video
My father has a Boss 302, bought new in '70, he still has it & still all original
Amazing that you could get that many miles out of a Boss 302 engine. That motor had a serious design flaw. The short piston skirts had a tendency to break off and
damage the block. Ford issued replacement blocks to make up for it. But so many were junked that they are hard to find as is the parts. I should know I am restoring
a 1970 Boss 302 and have had a hard time finding the correct motor parts to restore it. Your "Acapulco Blue rocket ship" in excellent condition will sell for around
$75,000 here in the states.
@@blurredcarz One thing though - after having the Mustang, I VOWED AND DECLARED that I'd NEVER own another two-door car!!
69 and 70 302 engine blocks were Windsor blocks made in Windsor Canada with modified 351Cleveland heads made in Cleveland Ohio. Opened up the breathing for more HP and TQ. Those are 302 Windsor engines called a "Boss" engine and the only two years the "Boss" engine was made and for the 69 & 70 Mustang and Cougar Eliminator. Shortly after the 302 block was made in Cleveland Ohio but the 302 block retained the Windsor name to differentiate between the 302 and 351 blocks.
The 2nd gen Lightning was made for 6 model years, from 1999-2004. And you could get them in red, black, two different blues, silver, white, and gray (which I thought looked the best).
Thanks for watching the video
HE SAYS RED AND BLACK !
I have a 2001 SVT Lightning in my garage right now.
I have a silver 2004 Lightning
@@darrella51 I worked at a Ford dealership in my hometown back between 02 and 08. We had a dark gray 2004 that just looked beautiful imo. Also had a customer with a black 04 that blew up the engine at 6,000 miles. Ford reps came down from Michigan to look at it and inspect it once the engine was out. Looked and saw the PCM had been tampered with and deemed it out of warranty. Customer was pissed, saying he ran that chip in several of his past 5.4L SC motors. Well, our writer quoted him almost $20K for a new engine with labor (engine itself was over $15K at that time). Needless to say, he came with a trailer and picked it up lol
I bought a new Talladega off the showroom floor in 1969. The wife made me put air and a radio in it. Those cars were true "sleepers". They were much lighter than they appeared. With radio delete, no underlayment or undercoating, rubber floor mats, no air and some with heater delete, they averaged about 3500lbs. Even though it was a super speedway bruiser, I just had to put 2-4s on it with an aggressive cam. It was the baddest street-driven stock car I've ever owned. In my town, everybody had Z-28s, which I regularly blew away at the stoplights, because of the 3:50 gear I swapped to. They came from the factory with a 3:00 and a 180mph speedo. All were automatics.

My grandmother was born in 1905. She only had Studebakers. When she needed a new car in 1968, my uncle helped her buy a new Volvo. She ended up hating the Volvo and decided she would buy a new car on her own. She went to the Ford dealer and told the salesman she wanted something with some passing power. She bought a new 1970 Torino Corbra with a 429 Cobra Jet. It did not have a hood scoop. Some sources on the Internet claim there were only about six 1970 Torino Cobras with 429 Cobra Jet engines without hood scoops made, but I don't know if that is accurate.
Thanks for watching
I bought a new 1970 Torino Cobra without a hood scoop. I would have bought the one with the scoop, which also had a 429 but more horsepower. However, they wouldn't sell it with an air conditioner. So I bought the one with a 429 with less horsepower but did have a AC.
@@digicandy70 The only pic I can find on the Internet of a 70 Cobra without the hood scoop is one with the 429 Super Cobra Jet engine. My grandmother had the 429 Cobra Jet, with AC and automatic transmission. The 429 SCJ was not available with AC. Most 70 Cobra's seem to have the scoop, so maybe without is really rare.
Your grandma sounds like she was a bad ass.
@@mantis_toboggan_md She really wasn't looking for a hotrod, but the power difference going from a V8 Studebaker to a 1968 4 cylinder Volvo with AC and automatic was disappointing. She told the salesman she wanted passing power and he sold her the Cobra. She worked quality control at the Carter carburetor factory and early in her career, she used to talk to Henry Ford on the phone. She said other car makers would report a defect carb and get credit for it, but Henry Ford would would send a whole crate of carbs back for one defective carb. During WWII Carter made artillery shells when she worked there and because the men were away in the military, she worked the production line during the war.
I worked as an hourly employee for the Ford Engine plant here in Lima, Ohio. We built the 428 Cobra and Super Cobra Jet engines. We also built the Boss 429 motor.
Why did you not mention the Boss 302 or Boss 429 mustangs? You should also know that the Boss 351 mustang also came in black. Also, the Boss
302 was built in 1969 to compete with the Camero Z28 302 on the Trans-Am circuit. Every Ford car show I have ever attended had very few cougars
they are not that highly collectable.
They got a couple of things wrong. The 1968 Torino was never offered with a 427, though there is some sales literature saying that was an option.
@@robertduncan9786 More than a Couple things wrong, i would say. Most of it was wrong.
That would've been a Hell of a job, putting together those Big Block Monsters, especially the Boss 429, such Unique Cylinder Heads and Valvetrain Set-Up. Did you put together any of the other 429,s Cobra Jets and Super Cobra Jets ? The 429 SCJ Probably my Favorite from Ford.
I had a '69 Mach 1, Jade Green, 428 SCJ 'R' Code plus Drag Pack. 4:30 gear ratio. Paid $1800 for it in 1980, motor was tired so added headers, long duration cam, 11.5:1 .030 Pistons, ported, polished heads, etc.
I avg'd about 8 MPG, lol... heavy foot. Motor is so crammed in the Chilton Repair Guide listed a plug change as an 8 hour job but a hole through the Inner fenderwell fixed that issue. Fun car.
@@robertduncan9786 There were some 70 Montegos available with 427's. Some of the NASCAR 70 Montegos can be seen with 427 on both sides of the hood. I'm not aware of any Torinos that came with 427's. There were even a few 70 Montegos with right hand drive, apparently they were sold overseas.
1971 BOSS 351 was offered in the following colors (production numbers in parentheses)
Raven Black (131)
Light Pewter Metallic (297)
White (120)
Bright Red (186)

This video had so many inaccuracies! I believe that there were false statements for every car listed!
Bought new a '68 Torino 390GT/4 speed which was the largest engine through most of the year. Ford added the 427/428 FE engines late in the year as really pre production '69 Torinos - and I never saw a single one of them. While the Torino never matched my '63 406/405 Galaxie 500XL in performance, did a lot better when I installed the 406's tri power and the Ford 7000 mechanical camshaft and kit. I sure do miss those days!
The Boss 429 is missing from this list. Also, there are more modern cars like the 1995 Mustang Cobra R. Only 250 of those were produced and Ford got a 351 W both EPA and CARB certified just for those 250 cars (arguably, Saleen got a 351w EPA/CARB certified as well, but it was his own proprietary engine vs. a Ford factory item like the '95 Cobra R's engine).
Thank you for checking out our channe
Sorry but the Boss 429 couldn’t get out of its own way as the Boss 351 could wax the floor with them right out of the factory, every race. It with a very cool looking car that never lived up to its billing. It was a NASCAR motor from the day that Ford put in a Mustang to make the motor a “production” motor so they could race it in NASCAR. That way they wouldn’t run into the same problem that they did with the 427 S.O.H.C. engine that was banned because Ford NEVER put it in a production car so was deemed an experimental motor and thus banned by all the big racing organizations. Ford backed the wrong engine in this case.
@@frankjohnson6342 But it was/is a 'Holy Grail' car for Ford as far as rarity goes, which seemed to be the point of this video.
Both of Phord's muscle cars are accounted for: the Mustang and the Torino (the Cougar was just a reskinned Mustang). That's all they made because the muscle car era was actually between Chrysler and Degenerate Motors. Phord and AMC were wannabes in the horsepower race.
The 657 hp (really 740 hp) 427 SOHC stomped everything in the drag setting until the aftermarket caught up with the Hemi. If someone had come up with an aftermarket block for the SOHC, Top Fuel would look very different today. Also, the Boss motors, the 289HP, and the 351C were, stock for stock, better than anything the competition had to offer (except the L88 which had actual power output similar to the 429).
Beautiful video! My brother and I were lucky enough to refurbish muscle cars as young policemen. This brings back many great memories..
Thank you!

What about the Lincoln LSC and the Taurus SHO???? They were AWESOME cars and deserve to be mentioned. I wish I had one of each on this list - they are gorgeous and I LOVE my Fords!
Loved the video mate! I really liked the 71 boss Mustang because it ran the exact same drive line as the four door super salon here in Australia know as the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3, right down to the 4v heads. You lads over there in Detroit really hooked us up with a killer power plant!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching the video
Not exactly the same. The Boss 351 had 4 bolt mains. Phase III used standard 2 bolt. The Boss 351 had a high nodular iron crank that was tested for hardness vs. standard production crank in the Phase III. The Boss 351 used the Boss 302 cam profile. The Phase III has a slightly different grind. The connectings rods were diferent. The Boss rods were magnufluxed and shot peened and used 3/8" heavy duty rod bolts. The Phase III used standard forged Cleveland rods. The Boss 351 had forged TRW pop up pistons vs the Phase III which were cast flat topd design. They used different timing chains, harmonic balancers, and distributors. Carbs were different. The Phase III had a 780cfm Holley 4 barrel carburetor vs. 750cfm Autolite for the Boss 351.

On s'en branle des Chevrolet
I test drove a low mileage used second Gen Lightning in 2004. I loved it and I'm a GM guy. The soft tires were only good for 10,000 miles and were quite expensive back in the day. One of the factors that steered me away. The dealer wanted $12k. I think it had 30k miles on it.
@@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi3857 My 93 lightning came with 17 inch Firestone Firehawks I think they ran close to a grand for a set and there wasn't another tire at the time you could run.
@@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi3857 Ha, ha. I ran with a SVT Car Club in 2005, which did autocross events. One of the regulars had a Lightning. Sometimes the course designers would put a "pivot" at one of the ends. Those days, you would just see a mammoth cloud of smoke as the the Lightning driver would go WOT after making the pivot turn. Ahhhh, the good ol' days!!
i must admit that`s a pretty cool selection of Ford muscle cars. Surely the top of the list has to be the 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolt, as the title says "the holy grail" of Ford muscle cars, then surely the Thunderbolt would be it.

No mention of any Fords ever manufactured outside of the USA? Amazing!. Recognised as the fastest production four door in the world the Bathurst 1000 winning Falcon GTHO Phase 3 is mostly unknown in the US. The Cosworth engined Ford Lotus Cortinas also used to keep these brutes honest.

There are a number of errors related to the 1965 Galaxie: 1) The Galaxie was never available as a 2-door sedan in 1965; it was available only as a 2-door or 4-door hardtop, a 4-door sedan, or a convertible. The full-sized Ford 2-door sedan that year was relegated to either the Custom or the Custom 500 entry-level/economy models. 2) The 7-liter engine (427 cubes) was rated at 425 horsepower...not 320 as stated. The 6.4-liter engine (390 cubes) was rated at 300 horsepower with a 4-barrel carb. Other available engines were the 240 C/I six, the 289 C/I V8, and the 352 C/I V8 3) The 6.4-liter engine was MUCH more popular with buyers than the 7-liter; the 7-liter engine was actually extremely rare. 4) Technically, there was no "standard" and "deluxe" Galaxie in 1965...unless you consider the Galaxie 500 XL to be the deluxe model. The XL, however, was considered the sports model, and was to the Galaxie what the SS was to the Impala over in the Chevrolet camp.
Yeah this video has some cool Fords but the stats and info on them is off a bit lol.
Thanks for watching the video
And he mentioned a 6.7 litre. What was that? The 410 Mercury? Or the 406? Neither one was available in 1965, no?
@@davidfultz3594 I suspect 6.7 liters was in reference to the 406...which was discontinued halfway through the 1963 model year and replaced by the 427. You're right, the 410 wasn't available in 1965; it debuted in 1966 and was available only in the full-sized Mercury. It's nice to see that there are others who know their Ford engines.
The 428 CJ and Boss351 held NHRA drag records for Super Stock class. Among fastest muscle cars of all time.
Beautiful car's a short video with big history a thing the Boss 351 it's very close with xb falcon gt thank you for sharing
The 1971 Mustang coupe with the 429scj R-code with 4:30 gears/Detroit Locker is faster than every car on the list. How about the 68 1/2 GT Mustang with the first 428CJ motor?
Thanks for watching
The Boss 351 was quicker.
My brother had a 71 429 SCJ Mustang. He also bought a 71 429 SCJ Torino as well. Know why? Because the 71 Stang was stolen at a grocery store. My sister-in-law and myself watched the car leave the parking lot as we were walking in. Not joking. And yes, this video if full of errors and did not include many cars like a 70/71 429 SCJ Ranchero. I bought 1 in 99 from a dude who was hard-up for money.
@@fmbbeachbum8163 Not faster than the car I described. The coupe was lighter and the 429SCJ made more hp/tq. Simple physics.
The 71 429 SCJ Mustang would run a tick Quicker in the 1/4 Mile, But in a Road Course Type event, the 71 Boss 351 would Wipe the floor with the SCJ. Stop Light to Stop Light Drag Race on the Street, that could be a Toss Up between the two, The Better Driver would probably win. Definitely my 2 Favorite Ford Engines, the 429SCJ, and the Baddest Cleveland from Ford, the 71 Boss 351.
Blurred : You left off the 1969 and '70 Mustang Boss 429. They were only rated at 375 horsepower. But that was only because Ford was afraid to list the true horsepower of this speed demon. Many people who owned a '69 Mustang Boss 429, just knew their car had a lot more horsepower. So they would take the car to some kind of speed shop and put the car on a dynamometer. The true horsepower was anywhere from525 to 565 horsepower.
Check out the new video I just posted on 70s muscle cars. I think you will enjoy it. Thanks for checking out my channel
Sandbagging on horsepower for insurance purposes - what a shock! (See: 428 CJ "rated" at 335 Hp; closer to 425)
Every big block ever made was more powerful than the factory rating. It was the same with the L88, the other Ford big blocks (yes, even the Cammer was underrated), and the 426 Hemi. Hell, even the 351C was an underrated motor.
I have owned two of the number 7's.
One with the 302 and the second one had a semi-built hot little 390.
Still my favorite dashboard and rear end of any cars I have owned
I had a '68 GT Torino Fastback. Had a 390 block with 428 cylinder heads. It would go as fast as you wanted. Of all the cars I've owned, I miss it the most.
The GT500 was still around a few years after 1968 sales dipped because of the Boss and Mach 1 Mustangs. The 67's are more sought after because that was the last Shelby America assembled the cars in 68 Ford took over and built them in the Ford Plants.
The 68, 69 and left over 1970 Shelby's GT350 and GT500s were finish assembled at the A.O Smith Company in Ionia, Mich. All Shelby mustangs from 65-70 were built at Ford plants then shipped to Shelby American at their LA hanger facility, 65-67. 68-70 were sent to A.O Smith to get all the Shelby mods and fiberglass parts. Up until 1967 A.O. Smith assembled some of the fiberglass Corvette bodies for Chevy.

Pretty great list. I owned a 2001 Ford Mustang GT until November of 2021 when I upgraded to a 1969 Mach 1 with the 351 Windsor V8. I bought it off of a guy I know, and I bought it dirt cheap with only 10637 original miles and in pristine condition, plus all original. 30 grand overall for the car. $1000 to get some work to the carburetor done (since it did sit in the guy's heated garage, under a cover for the better part of 8 years) and 29 grand for the rest of the car. It runs like a dream, and I love the rumble. Anyway, I am going to criticize on one thing, unfortunately: The horsepower rating of many of the big block V8s. They were underrated in terms of official numbers. Those beasts are pushing closer to 435 horsepower. One of the reasons being, to get them selling.
How about the Australian 1971 Falcon GTHO 380 HP 351 Cleveland and a top speed of 161 mph. A good one will se4ll for over AU$1000000 .

Hey mate! One went at auction in OZ last year for $1.15 Million!!
Those falcons kicked a lot of but in Australia. The xs falcons was pretty
I guess you guys wouldn't call it a "muscle car" because it has 4 doors, but for quite a while it was the fastest 4 door production car in the world.

The boss 351 was not built as a response to the Z28. Like we're are you getting these "facts" at

All he's saying is "Thanks for watching our videos". Lel
I agree with the list. However, the 69' Mustang Mach I, Cobra Jet wasn't made for just one year. I had a 70' Mustang Mach I, 428 Cobra Jet, shaker hood, with the flat hood pins.

1999 through 2004 was the production years of the 2nd Gen Ford Lighting with a little over 28,000 total produced during that time.
Thanks for checking out our channel
The lightning had 18" rims from factory, not 17
Thanks for watching
I totaled a 1969 Mustang Mach I with a four speed 428 with the shaker hood. It had 37K miles on it when I purchased it in 1971. I was 16 and saved up 1500 from the age of 15 to 16. Had it for two years when I hit the Trout River Bridge center divider. It was a rattling vehicle. Own a 2014 now
What a loss! Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more videos
Just reading this breaks my heart.
Enjoyed!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

A lot of incorrect information in this video
Thanks for watching
When mentioning the 1968 Ford Torino GT, you said 289 , 302, then skipped the 390 and went to 428. I had a 68 back in 1972. Loved that thing. Dual Quad 427 engine sitting in the garage but never ended up swaping to the Torino. Got married instead.....
I really appreciate your films about ford high performance
The list is mostly cars that are pony cars. Very few muscle cars. Give you the Galaxie and Torinos for sure. Where is the Cyclones? Fairlane GT? Maurader? Mustangs and Cougars are Pony cars. I think overtime people have lost the true meaning of what a muscle car is. Mid to large regular sedan stuffed with biggest motor possible. Ponycar compact car with long hood short deck. Even today Mustang more of a Sports car over musclecar. But most people now a days have no clue what a musclecar is.
IT was a hard list to put together. I agree with you that there are some other cars that deserved to be on this list. Stay tuned to the channel., I have some other videos being produced about the cars you mentioned. The Marauder is one of my all time favorite Ford cars.
So much misinformation in this video
Thanks for watching
It's still a great video because of all the amazing cars
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out my channel
I owned two '67 Mustang Fastbacks 25 years ago. One was a GTA. Yeah, I sold them and have been regretting that ever since.
We all have that car we wish we didn’t sell.
The Lightning had one other color that was used in 1999 but it was a VIP order for Jacques Nasser, CEO of Ford. The one-off produced in the Oakville, Ontario Truck Plant was painted what appeared to be a pearl yellow. I was lucky enough to be at the Truck Plant the day it rolled out and, unless I miss my guess, it will be a "holy grail" for collectors, being a factory-built one-off.
Thanks for watching!
That Gran Torino and Shelby 500 are amazing.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Mustang no matter what style they are all still cool
Thanks for watching! Happy new year
Australian Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase 3 (1971): 351 4V Cleveland with some Boss components. Shaker hood scoop, 780 cfm Holley, 4 speed top loader, 9" Limited Slip Diff, 4 wheel disc brakes, wind dam and rear deck wing spoiler, headers, and twin exhaust. Officially listed at 300 HP but likely closer to 370 hp. Top speed at 145 mph and quarter mile at 14.5 seconds. Not bad for a 4 door sedan.
Thanks for watching
And the Phase 4 was supposed to do 160mph.
I'm glad to see all two of Phord's muscle cars represented in this video.
Thanks for watching!
I have a 2003 Sonic Blue Lighting that I purchased new in 2003. They produced the Gen. 2 from 1999 to 2004.
Thanks for watching! Have an awesome new year!
Come on let’s do this I’m on let’s do this. This is a great video forms are good orange form.
I want to go back in time and buy all of these.
You could still get a Mach 1 with the 428 CJ and SCJ motor in 1970. Also the Torino Cobra debuted in 1969 with a 428 CJ or SCJ in either the notchback or fastback roofline. You could get the car as either a Fairlane Cobra, which was simply called the Ford Cobra, or as a Torino. Also, dno't forget the 19701/2 Falcon which was available with either the 351 Cleveland or the 429 CJ.
Happy new year! Thanks for watching
@Joe Right. The Ford Cobra was basically a Fairlane. The Torino had the same motor available...
Love the names! Eliminator!
If I ever win a big lottery I will own one of each of the beauties. I love every one of them. I was surprised that my 1999 Cobra Mustang wasn't even mentioned.
It will be in a new video that will be released soon! Thanks for watching
Never heard of Ford FPV? Man, are you in for a treat.
Thanks for watching!
I had a 67 GTA Farilane with the 390 factory A/C with factory 3:90 gears, wish I still had it....
Fun fact: Dealers apparently didn't get the memo that THEY were supposed to adjust the spoiler to a 12 deg down angle. Pretty much all Mustangs have the spoiler tilted the wrong way, (as it came "out of the box", so to speak), thus creating lift rather than downforce. You can clearly see it on the '71 Boss Mustang in this video.
The Mach 1 was also available in 1971, I know because I owned one with a 351 Cleveland engine.
And the Boss 351 was available in more colours than is claimed in this video., including black with silver stripes, different shades of green, blue and others.
There's a red 71' Torino 351 V8 with 63k miles. Should I buy? 😁
Thanks for watching!
At age 18 - many, many years ago - I had a 1982 cobra - fully loaded. I think it only had 210 hp....it was fun at the time
The 1982 cobra mustang was rated at 157 hp not 210
@@kos2318 Correct - my apologies, bad memory that was my next car HP
I correct myself too. I was wrong they didn’t have a Cobra in 82. It was the GT I was thinking about.
My favorite rare Ford is my 1972 Ranchero GT, Q code(351 Cobra Jet, 4 bbl Cleveland with 4 bolt mains), bright red, factory 4 spd with Hurst shifter (783 produced. Clint Eastwood "Gran Torino" GTS hood & front clip, will have functional Ram-Air. I need it professionally restored. Western car. Bucket seats, factory AC. Cleveland engine, Toploader 4 spd, Ford 9" rear = STOUT !
I have a video being produced with the Ranchero in it. Stay tuned… thanks for watching my videos.
The 72 351 HO Mustang was also a very rare piece from 72, believe Only 398 Mustangs Came with the "Low Comp Boss 351"

Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch our video!
That 65 galaxy 500 must’ve been a real sleeper back in the day surprised a lot of people
Thanks for watching! Have a great new year.
The Gen 2 Lightning wasn't created to compete with the 454SS; the Gen 1 was. Production for the Gen 1 was 1993-1995, while Gen 2s were built between 1999-2004.
AWESOME FORDS.
Thanks for checking out my channel
The new oval-shaped Ford emblem, at least they have the problem circled. LOL
Nice
Thanks for watching!
@@blurredcarz ur welcome
64 Marauder would have been nice, but so would 25 other Fords. The 500 Galaxy is essentially he Ford version of the Mercury Marauder pretty much, or vica versa. The 32 V8 was alone in it's class as an untouchable industry bearer. I had the fiftieth anniversary Ford Mustang poster when I sold Fords back in the day. I was always amazed by the engines and the ever changing and tuning of the blocks cylinder sizes. The 50 Mustangs chosen for the calendar were all keepers. There was a 427, a 428 and a 429 Mustang. I wonder if the 7 ltr was a 500 ci, but 455 sticks in my mind.
Thanks for watching!
Wasn't the the 71 Boss 351 offered in Blue?
I seem to recall White with blue racing stripes on F150 Lightnings
Thanks for watching
After the second car, I knew the comments section was going to be great.

The current lineup of Mustangs would dust most on the list. That being said these have the classic lines they made the mustang brand legendary.
Thanks for checking out my channel!
Youre comparing apples to oranges
You could upgrade an classic as well and have the best of both worlds. Cheers.
There not talking about tin foil n plastic cars with computers in them. They talking about cars that are still around, today from 44 to 70 years ago. When car's were made to last a lifetime mate.
I've got a 73 gran Torino with a 429 interceptor making 550 hp and working on a70 boss 429 mustang. Parts are hard to find and not cheap. I wont give up. Love my toys.
Congrats! The Torino is one of my favorites. Thanks for watching the video
I'm surprised that there was no mention of the Torino Talladega.
The Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet was available for two years 69 and 70, I had a 70.
Best cars ever no question
Amen! 100% agree

My granddaddy had a 69 mach1 said that at 70 mph it would burn the tires ,these cars were way underrated
I agree 100%! Thanks for watching
Mach 1 Cobra Jets were produced in 1970 too.
Holy cow! Was (fill in the blank) one of the most iconic muscle cars of its time?
Whatever model you are talking about, production numbers would have been a really helpful piece of info.

No fake hood scoops were used during the making of this vid LOL!. Great cars, everyone of them!

I had our 35ft USAF Rescue Boat contracted to include twin 351 Cleveland's with 212 Hamilton Pumps. I loved starting those motors. (304th RQS)
The top Ford muscle car of all time, based on style and function is the 69-70 Boss 429..period!
Like how he revealed the real hp on the Talladega. We all know they fudged the numbers. You also had several options for the final gear ratio affecting the 0-60 time. You could blister through the 1/4 with a short setup but run the risk of running out of gear. Your options are limited when you only have three or four gears. Love to have the Cougar GT-E. Way too much motor for that size car.

I have a huge love for the Torino gt tbh
