2MDSPORT TUNING I got a 66 coupe and I get so much shit. But idgaf I like what I like people can suck dick. I’m not going to like a Chevy nova or Chevelle because everyone else likes and respects them.
I still have my 68 coupe. I have redone it a couple of times. I get a lot of compliments on it especially from the younger crowd. It’s loud and a handful to drive but it always makes me laugh. .... And the value continues to rise. Win win.
100% agree. The coupes have been overlooked for way too long. I built a Terlingua coupe homage about 3 yrs ago, and I’m starting a new one this month. Gotta buy them now before the prices get ridiculous.
67 T/A Mustang me too, over in Australia, just put a 8.8, 3.73 under it, being a base T code I don’t feel guilty about it. Will have a Aussie Built 1977 Cleveland 302
@@stunnindunning Well, I have already sold the car since my reply on here. I ran 15" American Racing Torque Thrust Ds in all the way around with Good Year Blue Streaks. Literally the same set up as the car in the video. I'm not in to big wheels on old cars and wanted to stay true to the 60s look.
Way back in '86, my first car was a '67 Mustang and I "Shelbyized" it with the lowered suspension, did engine mods to the 289, got a T-bird close ratio steering box and 9" rear end. I was trying to copy the Shelby in this episode. My car rode like crap on anything except smooth pavement with the stiff single-rate springs, but it was a go-kart in the turns, and I loved it.
I put together a 68 with relocated control arms and alignment specs from the 350r, along with other steering, suspension and brake upgrades, that mustang carved it up from Mulholland dr. in Hollywood to PCH. once a week just for kicks...back in the day....
Perhaps a part of the mass appeal of the original Trans Am racing series was that the cars were stock appearing without all the aerodynamic tupperware allowed in today's sedan racing?
My first race car was a 67 fastback 390 car. All I knew was motor so scratch built for a 1/4mi flat oval I was completely lost. But damn it was fun and 3 years in it made a driver out of me.
This car is not "original"--it's been over-restored just like the vast majority of classic cars from this era. The original cars didn't have their engine compartments, interior, trunk and underbody painted in the body color. And most likely the brakes and suspension (springs, shocks, bushings) have been updated with modern pieces. I've been to many vintage events at Willow Springs Raceway where vintage Mustangs (GT-350s, TransAm racer cars) were running and almost all of the cars have been significantly modified or over-restored. The old saying, "A car [or boat or airplane, etc.] is only original once" is still true.
The 302 Windsor with Cleveland heads [if this car has them], has to be the best motor ever built at 302.4/5 cubic inches. They rev so quickly, with tons of grunt. What Chev or Chrysler motor at roughly 302 ci was better?.
I just went to my garage and looked at my '68 coupe. It looks like It's been cut back and the chrome strip reattached, i'm guessing to get more air through the radiator. The lower front valance has also been opened up like the older Shelbys probably for the same reason.
FINALLY some love for the vintage 67/68 Mustang Coupes!!! Not every Mustang from back then HAS to be a fastback to be loved and valuable!!!!!

Just bought one for my 14 year old daughter. We are resorting the car.

True could have bought a fast back but decided to go coupe do to the fact sometimes it can feel cliche

Gotta love the sound of a high horsepower, stroked small block....this car is outstanding...
This is an all time top 5 favorite segment that may even deserve a re visit.
I watch this video at least once a week. Building 67 T/A tribute car myself.
I have built one as well..Mine is all done and draws a lot of attention.Mine is street legal....Have Fun.

What you doing for wheels ?

It's been 4 years, how's the tribute car progressing?

Yes so much fun!! Thanks for showing😊
What a great piece of history.

Great video! More like it. I've been a fan of your operation since Dream Car Garage.
Remember "Bona Fortuna Motors"? Lol What a great skit with Tom and Peter. Wonder what happened to Tom?
Music to the ears.🙌👍
Awesome!
Wish I could take it for a spin!
I love the sound of a Shelby 289 music
great car . sound so sweet !
Amazing car great video. Thanks!
I'm curious what kind of mufflers they put on the car. They look like flowmasters, and sound like them too but I can't tell. I love the way it sounds.
Love it!
How fast were these trans am cars? What was their top speed?

So cool I want 🤗🤗
Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this
great video!!
Basically a Nascar Iroc Z car.

Big deal
Am I seeing things, or is the hood opening looks like it is pointed up??
Wow! Only a 200lb rear spring???? We all love a soft rear end 😂 but that's pretty darn soft!!!
Surprised they let him run the course without a helmet
Lower speeds and no helmet so he could talk to the camera
GO MUSTANG ?

Carat Cranker Rare tunnel port heads.. these heads never made it to production, Ford elected to use them only for a short time, enter the BOSS 302...
Eating Chevys over 50 years
And never gaining weight!!!
The hood is bent up at the front.
