Don't think he understands what the Shelby was. It was an affordable 1960s super car anyone could buy, just most didn't. About $60-70,000 adjusted for inflation. Original sticker was 6,000. A Lamborghini Miura was 20,000 original, and the Shelby would beat it all day long on a track. A Ferrari GTO 250 was 18,000. The Shelby would beat it too. And unlike either of those it holds up. Bruce Canepa did an event a decade or so ago where he left a bunch of qualified press that could drive take his collection for a spin, compare and contrast the old vs the new. Every write up I saw had people who'd driven everything under the sun rave about the Shelby. They all said on modern tires it is one of the best handling cars they had ever driven. These are people who put modern McLarens and Ferraris through their paces. People who've pushed an Elise to the edge, considered by many to be the best handling car of all time. And an FR layout car from the 1960s shocked them with how well it handled. They called it a 400HP Miata with how well it handled and how forgiving it was at the edge, putting it through a corner wasn't a white knuckle experience. They smiled and laughed while driving it.

I was happy to have been born in 1960, to be able to experience the old cars until the early 2000's! At least, they could be bought until the early 1990's for not much money, our last one was a 1965 Chevy Malibu SS 4 speed that we bought in the early 90's for $1500!

My favorite type of motorsport to watch is Sprint Car Racing. I love the sprint car races on dirt tracks and the winged sprint cars the most. NASCAR is ok, but it's more of an endurance race. I'd rather watch our version of F1 called Indy Car or the Sprint Cars I mentioned over NASCAR. NASCAR has many good drivers and a fascinating history, and in many ways, it was the birth of American motorsports. Still, being an endurance race, it cannot be very interesting for long periods.

My favorite muscle car of all time is the 1969 Mustang Mach 1.

I have seen several Buick Grand Nationals that were running twin turbos and pushing 1000 horsepower to the wheels.

The GNX was amazing, but, honestly, most people wouldn't get a 0-60 of 4.5 seconds out of it in normal driving. That was an achievement discovered by one car magazine (Car and Driver, I think) with a certain trick. If you hit the gas while holding the brake and let the rpms build up, while the torque converter kept the car from moving, you could get the turbo spinning to full power before you took off, so you would achieve close to peak horsepower as you let off the brake and accelerated. Good for drag racing, but not normal traffic.

I lived thru the muscle car era. And your video was great, especially to see these cars of yester year! I love your enthusiasm! When I got married, our first car was a 1967 Pontiac Tempest, which was essentially the same car as the Pontiac GTO, only with a 326 cubic inch V8 engine instead of the high performance 389 with considerably more carburation, and a very different suspension. The 1965 Pontiac GTO was the first ever muscle car, and all GTO's had a 389 CU engine. Back then, all engines had carburetors, and not fuel injection. Carburetors relied on airflow sucking in the gas into the intake manifold from the carburetor where the furl was dumped from the gasoline tank via an electronic pump, so the more air forced in, the more gas and air, and hence more power. Regular cars came with a 2 barrel, and sometimes with low flow 4-barrel carburetor, as my 1976 Chev Station wagon did, with a 350 engine. 'Low flow' means that it was not sucking in very much air, so the power was greatly reduced. But the first muscle car, the Pontiac GTO, had three dual carburetors (a total of 6 barrels) , called three deuces. Subsequent muscle cards switched over to dual quad carburetors (two 4-barrel carburetors). Eventually, carburetors were converted to fuel injection, which I think was first used in Europe. Fuel injection does not use carburetors any longer, and the fuel is injected into the piston directly electronically, making for a much better performance. Incidentally, 389 CU is about the same as 6.5 liters. The size of any engine is determined by its internal volume - which is the calculation of the bore (the piston diameter) times the stroke (ow far the piston moved up and down). So, the size of an engine (its volume) can be increased by either increasing the bore (making the piston fatter with more diameter), or by increasing the stroke (making the piston move up and down inside the engine further. If you increased both of these, the engine became considerably larger. Real muscle cars had engines from the GTO 389 up to the 440. All but the Chrysler engines had flat top pistons, which meant that they could not use all of the fuel properly in the chamber because the vales (used to intake the fuel as well as remove the spent gases), were always cylindrical, thus leaving a gap. But the Hemi engine (originally just with the 426) had domed pistons, so it could get a bit more out of the internal explosion in the cylinder, and thus was more powerful. So, to this day, the most powerful manufactured engine ever that was manufactured regularly was the Chrysler 426 Hemi. Today, that company still make Hemi engines in many engine sizes. Furthermore, mustangs were almost NEVER considered a muscle car, until Ford tried putting a 427 into one from the factory, but this was done towards the end of the muscle car era, although individuals had done it prior on their own. Mustangs usually had a 289 V8 or a 302 V8, The Mustang was just too small to put a big engine into it. The real muscle cars were made by Ford (with a very powerful 409 and a 428), Chevrolet (with a 396 and a 427), and Chrysler (with the 426 non hemi and 426 hemi, and a 440), and Pontiac (with a 389 GTO), and Oldsmobile 442 (400 CU engine, 4 speed manual transmission, and 2 Quads). Back then, it was near impossible to get 1 HP per CU, but since then things have changed drastically. For example, I have a 2013 Chev Impala sedan, and it has a 3.6 V6 that delivers 300 HP, which is at the very low end the HP for muscle cars from the '60s & '70s, but my car really gets up and goes. My car is built for low gas usage and for highway driving where the speed changes very little, and if I keep it that way, I get 30 miles per gallon (MPG), which is outstanding for a full size car! And this is traveling at a steady 80 miles per hours (MPH) or at 130 KPH. But muscle cars were not engineered to be good on gas consumption, and had gearing built-in to be able to start up real fast and accelerate quickly with low speed rear ends (engine turns quite fast for a given tire rotation) vs. a high speed rear end (engine turns slowly for the same amount of tire rotation). Muscle cars were able to attain high speeds, but this was done due to their high power AND the high engine RPMs (rotation per minute), getting up to high RPM numbers that the engine could safely do. In my sedan (not a muscle car at all) at 80 MPH, the engine is only turning over at 1,850 RPMs, which is VERY low! If you extrapolate that, then my car's speed would be 160 MPH at 3,700 RPMs, but this progression is not linear due to wind and road resistance, and tire reliability. My guess is that I could get my car between 150-160 MPH at around 5,000 RPM, but I have gone over 100 MPH only once, and for a short distance. Just about all muscle cars can do that speed, and the really powerful ones can go maybe 200 MPH. Their uniqueness is that they all accelerate VERY fast! Another way to get more power out of an engine is to force air into the intake manifold. This is done by using blowers, which is usually done by using a fan that electronically runs it, changing its speeds as the car goes faster. This is called 'Turbo Charged'. Originally, drag racing bars with have an opening in the hood, and the air flow was channel to the carburetor, so the faster the car went, the more air was forced in. But this was not enough, so the opening in the hood became a place to set the fan, and turbo charged was started! My other car is a 2014 Chev Cruze which has a 1.4 L engine (very small), but it is turbo charged, but the blower does not sit on the hood. It is just built-in down below in the engine compartment. And it really works! For a small car and a small engine, it gets up and goes pretty fast.

Andre, you react to what catches your fancy and we will always come along for the ride! Happy Easter!

This is a rabbit hole you will love! Rat rods, hot rods, resto mods, restored, muscle cars and heavy modded cars. These were the cars I grew up working and learning on! If you have minimum skills in automotive fields then these are the eras you want to find and restore!

the "air ducts" on the fenders of the 1969 Dodge Dayton and Plymoth Super Birds, was not an air duct. it was for clearance in the fender for the top of tires when driving at over 200mph. the down force on the car at that speed would push the can down on its suspension and the tires would hit the top of the fenders. so the "Air Ducts" were added to the tops of the fenders for clearance. also a real Daytona or Super Bird is closer to 300-400k depending on the engine and it originality. original numbers matching hemi cars are pushing 1.3 mo; - 2 mil.

Something to understand about the US musclecar market for the 60's cars is that there was a "great filter" event shortly after. Ever wonder why most marques only have truly high performance (for the time) up until 1972? The 1973 oil crisis and embargo happened first. Oil prices more than doubled and fuel costs followed, and there were shortages to drive the price even higher. Where the muscle car was an obtainable thing before, now people couldn't afford to drive them... and the manufacturers stopped making them because not enough people were willing to foot the fuel costs. Add to that new emissions rules taking effect in 1974 that literally choked engines, and the manufacturers were pretty much done with 'muscle', save for a few holdouts. On the used markets, muscle cars ended up white elephants, nobody wanted them, and quite a lot of the existing numbers ended up run into the ground or abandoned and scrapped. And with that, original muscle cars became rarities and those that survived often needed full restorations, and with that rarity and level of work come the prices you see.

Love the videos man. Enjoy seeing the outside perspective. Look up Massachusetts and the Portuguese community there, I think you will really enjoy seeing the Boston Portuguese festival and the feast of the blessed sacrament.

I was in my 20’s and saw all these muscle cars and rode in a few and, back then, never thought much about it.

5 million is for an original Cobra. Not many of them left. A replica, maybe 80,000

*5* As a car guy, I say def keep doing these vids. To explain some of the prices, you're mostly paying for the restoration, you can still buy road worthy versions for a lot cheaper and do the work on it yourself. Some of these, like the Cobra, are down to only a few original cars left and $5mil is for an original car; while they were showing video of replica cars that only cost around $80k already built and much less if you do your own work.

My bro in law just bought a 2024 Hellcat in that bright red with a black hood stripe. Can’t really have legal fun with it on the road, though.

A regular classic mustang of that era is far more affordable so you could easily get one of those and fix it up! You can also get a Cobra 427 kit car for far less.

Buick GNX is my All time Favorite, close 2nd ... I can't even pick one!

"Spring little Cobra, get ready to strike! Spring little Cobra with all of your might! Hey little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down!" 😁

Late 70's car were under powered because of the fuel crisis, the brand new trans am were bought by the rich parent for the kids everyone else has older cars muscle cars camaros,mustangs, charger,etc and modified to beat those pontiacs.

When I was growing up are parents bought us these cars as are first cars. My sister had a 71 Ford mustang my brother a 68 charger. I still have my 1967 Pontiac my other brother had a roadrunner. I will pass my car down to one of my boys. I hope he will pass my Pontiac lemans down to one of his kids or his brother's kids.

I was behind a Dodge Helcat in a restaurant drive through. My car was vibrating from the sound or it's powerful motor. Most of the Hellcat's I've seen for sale that were used cars had been wrecked before. Most people that buy them just can't handle the power.

Yes

Pontiac is a sister company of GM so if you look really closely it’s just a Camaro with some slight changes

That mustang you love Eleanor was a Shelby cobra GT500 the car that was featured right afterwards was also a Shelby Carroll Shelby one of the greatest ever look that guy up

Oh hell, buy one of each😅😅😅

4:13 every car looks beautiful in a certain color. And $100,000 for a Trans Am? No way

I've been looking at 2007-2009 Roush 427 mustangs I hope to have one by August of this year. They are going for around $30k with low miles.

What's nice is you can get kit cars. A kit car cobra you can get fairly cheap. Also these prices are for mint condition versions. This video is decent but there is a lot missing

Number one is the newer Dodge Challenger. My dream car. Either the Hellcat version or the demon version

Since it is a Brittish car, you are probably aware of it. But I would recommend looking into the "Ariel Atom." It's a crazy car and looks like a ton of fun to drive. It's also "affordable" compared to a lot of performance cars.

The hellcat red eye didn’t exist until 2019

I know that’s what I was thinking😂

Cobras are expensive, but there is another option. A company called Superformance makes a kit that you can build and your own cobra for a lot less. Also, you need to hear what those muscle cars sound like, just seeing them isn’t doing them justice.
