- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This was one of the coolest shoots we've had the opportunity to do. Jim Marietta is one of the original Shelby mechanics and we got to spend the day with him and talk about the 1965 Shelby GT350R he's recreated with Peter Brock and Ted Sutton built the way they originally designed including the independent rear suspension. This is the OVC Mustang.
Sit back and enjoy the stories and the ride...

i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Alvaro Chaim Instablaster :)
@Conor Leroy Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Conor Leroy It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Alvaro Chaim No problem =)
Between this car and the new 2020 GT-500, I'll take this each and every time. That engine sound is glorious!
I didn't watch anything on the new GT-500 even on J.Leno's YT 😁😁
Albanian King Owned one. Traded it in less than a year after buying it...like so many others.
It’s really one of the ultimate DRIVER’S cars. As in you have to DRIVE it, not let a bunch of computers and electronics move it down the road for you. I rode in a friend’s ‘65 GT-350 as a teenager in the late 80’s, and still remember the feeling to this day.
@Adam Fears Too much power for a manual - read up on it more. The modern cars over 700 HP these days it's more practical to allow the car to do the shifting.

Chevy did that weith it's recent rtounds of the Camero:

@Adam fears - 2020 Corvette C8 no stick shift. The sticks will all be gone in a short period of time!
Just wondering who/why would someone give this a thumbs down.. Even the most adamant Chevy/Mopar guys would have to appreciate what that car is.
Cause some people just suck no matter what you show them 🤷🏼♂️
@autotopia LA exactly!! Nearly thirty years ago, I witnessed a couple of camorons talking shit about an absolutely pristine ‘68 Shelby GT500KR owned by a guy in the Mustang club I was in at the time. I had to ask them if they knew ANYTHING about vintage cars, as that particular car had been judged at about 98% at several SAAC shows in its day.
Ive driven Mopar for 30 years and I can fully appreciate what these guys are doing.
Jay Troxel I’ve owned 7 Camaro, 1 Mustang, and 1 Hellcat...and this car and the 69-70 fastroof Mustangs totally rock. Real car love here...no hate
Jay Troxel Guaranteed, the thumb downers are driving “tuner cars” with a fake ass wing. 😂
Never gets Old! If I need to Smile....... here it comes!
Man that sounds marvelous and really carries the mail. Pony express all the way!!!😎👍
That ride along was the epitome of visceral. The look, the sound, the rawness & of course...Jim. Hall of Fame. Thx for inspiring.
Awsome. My childhood revisited. I love those 289 hi-po mustangs. My dad had a 65 289 hi-po 4 speed. What a great car. I bought one a year after I got out of the Navy in 82 that I drove the wheels off of. Until it dissapeared one night. Never found. Damn I miss it. Too cool!
Dude, best episode ever, I was smiling the whole time. I learned so much and enjoyed the entire episode. Thank you for this, you guys are doing good things, I appreciate you guys!
Now that’s a real ‘stang
Personally my favorite Shelby Mustang of all time. Raw, beautiful and sounds amazing.
One of my lottery cars, for sure, but maybe a resto mod, with a 3.0L eco boost and modern suspension wrapped up in the vintage body.
That just puts the biggest smile on my face just watching this!!!
That man knows how to shift!
even in the dress shoes!
we don't need no stinkin' DCT's! OVC : "hold my beer"
You're looking at the arm of experience! Unfortunately, young people today generally couldn't drive a standard, and in any event, not with the talent displayed in this video - it's becoming a lost art.
Gotta 'Heel-n-Toe' that sucker on the downshifts. I'd go toothless for one of those cars, lol
the old man is still a bit slow if you ask me
I keep coming back,,, this thing sounds sooo good..! Brings tears to my eyes.
Obviously Shawn has one of the best “car guy” jobs on the planet. Very very cool.
love the opening scene, you can literally see how that gentleman is taken back in time and reliving his youth as he's stepping on it and trashing it. those throttle blips also, he clearly likes his revv-matching.
another awesome and fun presentation right there!
shout out to you Shawn and the entire AutotopiaLA crew from cold and rainy germany all the way to sunny and warm California. :-)
Really great to see the builder giving it the full treatment!
They’re making what they intended in 1965 which is awesome imo
The old man can shift like you are suppose to shift a car like that. It gives me flashbacks when I was between 17 and 25 years old doing the same thing in some Fords I had back in the day. I've seen young guys that get into a pretty hot car and end up either missing a gear or grinding the shit out of one because they are timid and afraid of shifting it with power or scared they are going to break it. But it's always been about taking control of the throttle and clutch and making it go like you want and need to get somewhere fast. Shift it like you are trying to get away from someone after you stole it.
How incredible is must be to have been part of Shelby’s operation from the beginning. But to have that in your history AND then be part of this rebirth of the cars? That’s got to be mind blowing. The kind of stuff all us car junkies wish we could have experienced. I love the fact that they’ve done just a couple updates like the IRS and the rear window shape only because they are true to what was intended for the car. You’ve got one helluva cool job Shawn, thanks for sharing!
holy!!!
that engine rumble is music for my soul
Yes it is! Perfection imo
I love the sound of that beast! So much fun!
That's the power of a 289!
@Cameron Bates - The 289 used in The Daytona Coupe had 4 Webers, tuned headers and cranked out a whopping 390 HP. That "289" power gave the Coupe enough grunt to hit 197 MPH down the Mulsanne Straight.
Nothing winds like a small block Ford.
And 390hp was a conservative detuned number to last 24hrs. 289's today crankout more than 500hp reliably NA and shift well above 8,000rpm
When I built my 66 GT coupe back in the 80's I weighed and reduced the weight of everything I could, the door weighed 40 lbs empty , with the glass and cranks 75 !! got mine down to 2700 lbs full of fuel. glove box door was about 5 lbs right there. lots of fun, even drilled the brake and clutch pedals. I drove the guy at the town dump crazy as he would weigh my car on the scale every so often, the fun thing was one day at moroso motorsports park I pulled up to the scale and some impatient but nice guys with fox bodies ran the scale for me, they were pretty surprised when the scale read 2650 lbs. kept the car 25 yrs but eventually the cowl rust and otherwise wear and tear on myself made me sell it. still miss it thought.
Damn that's a cool car. Sounded so good! Thanks for another great showcase!
I love how certain cars are not built to be cool but are actually cool. This one sure fits that description imho.
I have a theory-the only people (or things, in this case) that are actually cool aren’t TRYING to be cool.
Not bad for a "secretary's car."
You nailed it. It’s opportunity to experience something that many never will.
I'm all about Chevy..but after seeing this and hearing that vintage motor sound I could say that I appreciate the Ford mustang and the history of the car.you don't hear that sound to often anymore. Thanks A.T.LA.
Man oh Man great video.........that sound, his driving, what a car. You had me smiling the entire time.
Good ‘ole Jim letting out frustration on those gears. Youngster at heart!
He’s a badass and true legend imo
There is no sound to equal a properly built Ford at full song. God Bless the OVC Crew.😎
To have lived an amazing life at 17, Priceless!
Another masterpiece from AutotopiaLA!!!! Keep it up bro!!!! You guys are giving Jay Leno's Garage a run for its money
Just saw “Ford vs Ferrari” and this nicely ties to that! God I love that car!
Such a great movie! And yes, this is part of that history
Too cool........too cool! What an experience.......reliving history right there!
The sound gives me goosebumps
Wow - that engine sounds amazing. Thank you for the great video
Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing! As always great content for the car lover!
I think I just wet myself. Truly amazing brings back good memories. I have been a FoMoCo fanantic for well over 50 years & still seeing vehicle of this caliber!
I’m with you. This car is perfection
Damn, this car just makes me smile.
Shawn,thanks again for another Super blast.t If you get a chance to make a longer version of this I'm sure we would all pay to see and hear it!!...please make it happen.Watching you lap it it up got us big time jealous.... Autotopia is rocking it....
Great episode, thank you!
Fantastic episode, first time watching. What a great car and the sound. No wonder you had a smile from cheek to cheek,Going to be hard to beat.
Teenaged me rode in a production ‘66 GT350 in the late 80’s. That alone was a thrill. I can only imagine running in a GT-350R...
Jett Crash being from Australia we do have mustangs, but Falcon GT where the cars we rode around in.
Once again, these Shelby GT 350 Mustangs scream! Love it! Great video!
Pure raw power. This guy was not afraid to put his foot down on that pedal.
That was about as good as it gets! WOW!!
I got to ride in one of their cars at a privet track day. Very cool guys (I see you Dan! haha) and im glad you made it out to see them! The sound of these cars is something that needs to be heard in person!
Awesome car always been a fan my grandfather has one of the 65 gt350s not the r model but he has had it since 79 or 80 showed it for several years got burnout on people trying to buy it sets in the garage until he pulls it out for a half mile ride down the road and back to the garage
Wow what a car and what a story, shame they are only making 36 but that will make them very collectable in the future...awesome 😊👍
As I'm writing this, there are 3 "thumbs-down" on the comment log. I'll bet those 3 are numbers "37, 38, & 39" on that buyer's list. ;^)
That was an experience! Thank You Bro.
The half shafts are a thing of beauty, beautiful sled.
The guy knows how to break the law thats for sure! Doing a 100 mph down the street ! Glorious!
@gibsondrummer - I'm not endorsing his fast trip, but that's the way it was done in those days. These less than knowledgeable kids today think street racing is something new that the Japanese invented. No, it's a little older than that! 1960s on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, Connecticut, it was the public road version of Conn. Dragway! Even saw a rail dragster do a quick between the lights run, then duck into a garage and shut down quickly before the "man" showed up to spoil all the fun. Trust me, those were the days to be a teenager in America!
Awesome so cool to get to meet the guy's that built the race car all those years ago 😀🙌 👍🏾👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏
No doubt how do you come down from that !
Ha, A moment of Magic for the soul. Thank you Shawn. Ahhh
All I can say is thank you ..... love the vid
Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was an honor to shoot with Jim and then get the ride he gave me in that monster. Killer car and true legend in Jim
That was friggin awesome!!!!!
My gosh! That thing sounds awesome! I own a 2017 GT 350 and thought that sounded great - and it does but…
Banging gears the proper way!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
No question! Game face on and go from Jim
Miles of smiles Shawn!
Music to my ears! Luv it
You and me both
That sound! I wonder how the independent rear would have changed the mustangs development though the years.
Disclaimer...... I am not FORD guy. the fastback 65-66 is the only ford i would own. i call them Mustang and not ford. Building this creation.. I apricate it very much. Ford.. sucks so much on quality/engineering..ect for their production cars and not putting independent rear end.is another on long list of ..What? moments for us in hi-performance car world. Thank you Autotopia LA and OVC.. I really enjoyed learning more about the back story of our history.. Shelby, Smoky and the drag race guy from 60'.. build all of history we are learning of and sharing.. Thank you again OVC.
I love that these guys (OVC) are carrying forth the legend of the comp car and doing them the way they intended originally
It's pretty easy to say the same thing about chevy or chrysler.
Don't buy into brand loyalty.
Just sounds incredible 👊👊👊
Man that sounds nice! Your face says it all Shaun!
Saw my first GT 350 in 1965 at SCCA tech inspection in Sacramento.
My father was Chief Course Physician for the SCCA at that time.
America! Long live the Shelby guys and all there cool toys.
This is why I got into cars. Names like Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles automotive legends.
My Blue oval BLOOD pressure is redlining right now....flippN BaddAss...Rip Carroll Shelby thank God for his love of the mustang and cobra....👍👍 Shawn 🙂🇺🇸🇩🇪 from Delaware
This is one of the best days of my life! Getting to know Jim and getting a ride in this was incredible!
Wow you got to ride in one of those bad ass cars and with the guy who help engineer it must be nice thanks for the video
Thanks for postin' ! I listen to lots of exhaust vids and the 350GT has the best sound of any car to me. Jay lenos vid of his really shows off the exhaust note of these motors. Nice Vid ! -ALF out...
Truly an incredible car and story and yes...that sound!!
How freaking iconic!! Incredible man
That is an awesome car! And, a super sweet red Bronco at the end!!!
Very cool. These guys are legends and it was a true honor to spend time with them and this car!
Incredible i talked to Jim last year about buying one of these continuation cars big bucks over $200k
Consider they were less than $5000 new...
I just picked up a '65 base model fastback in Wimbledon White. sat in a barn from 1972-2010. Straight-six, auto. It's so base there's no windshield washer or reverse lights.
About to start the mods and not sure how far I'm going to take it. The R spec is so tempting..... I think I've watched this video five times already!
I liked this video better than Leno's! Great job and awesome car!
Thank you! Such a killer car and true honor to spend the day with Jim
If i were a traffic cop... I'll give that Shelby a pass!
If you were a "traffic cop" chances are, you'd write your own mother a ticket. LOL
@@poopypuppyproductions7409 ...unless she's driving this 65😂😂😂
@@94Whiskey lol
If i was a traffic cop, i,d let him off, But i want to go for a ride!
@HE DP - Well, I'd give him a citation. Not a ticket citation, but an award citation!
I love how he is basically just like. Just shut up and hang on. LOL
Pretty much! He’s an old school badass and wanted to show that they build drivers
OVC those guys are the holy grail of the mustangs
It sounds soo good. That thing is a little beast!
Agreed 👊
The ultimate Mustang, as far as I'm concerned!❤🇺🇸🏁😎
Same for me
OG Rev Matching how it should be done
This man should have his own tv show
Shawn, you're also going to have to try to drive the new 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang. You'll probably want to get a new Mustang instead of
that 2020 mid engine Corvette. People are really raving about this 760hp beast. Mustang lovers should check out the following two videos:
1) Jay Leno's Garage and 2) Shmee150. The GT500 really sounds awesome in it's different drive modes!
Amazing car. That picture at 2:43 with the mustang jumping next to the jag is just unbelievable. I would pay to have that made into a poster lol. Awesome video. These ovc guys are the real deal. It would be an honor to able to drive with one of the guys, let alone in one of their own creation. You are one lucky guy shawn. Btw that guy can drive the piss out of this thing haha
I agree with you on the awesomeness of that shot, but I believe that's a Lotus 23...
Just music to my ears 🍻
Old boy was a little worried looking in his mirrors Love this one tho!
Just checking constantly to be sure the road was clear enough to pound on it!
@@AutotopiaLA I totally get it she is not quite either! love the fact at his age he still smashes the pedal.
Daryl
Lots of old guys mash the pedal.... And
Full throttle power shift.😎👍😀😀
@@hotrodray6802 Believe that I just happen to be one of them. fact is I saved a good 65 fastback for my old age..lol
OVC ,My 2nd favorite car you featured .
1st being 51' ford.
3rd vicious
different but , fantasic.
thanks tim from new mexico . keep bringing us great cars
I'm building a 65 fastback, this video has decided what direction to take. A Shelby tribute for sure!
just amazing....nothing cooler!
awesome job on that car.my favorite car of all time. nothing sounds as good as those old hi po 289s. very nice driving by the old man.
Perfection in this video from the car to the living legend that Jim is
It is a 331 and roller cam.👍
I’m loving it 😎👍
It must have been an out of body experience spending time with that walking encyclopedia, and I must add...one hell of a driver.
It was incredible spending time with Jim!
Stunning
Truly is an incredible car and the legend that comes with it
watching that all i want to do is cut off my rear silencers and fit straight through pipes .....we all want to be 17 again ,awesome film mans a legend
Sounds so good!!!
That man can drive...
@AutotoiaLA SHAWN I’ve always loved the fast back Mustang, but now I want one of these Mustangs so freaking bad that car is now in my top five outta all the cars I’ve seen in the past three days wow that Car is absolutely gorgeous and stunning it’s the complete definition of BITCHIN.
No retirement for this man , he has to teach others!
He’s on a mission for sure
That sound!!!!!!👌
Wow. Now that’s how you step on a horse!!!
1965 450 hp 2700 lbs vs 2020 gt 500 760 hp 4200 lbs. Very nice car!
Wow! I just stumbled onto this video. What a beautiful car, wish one of those could have ended up in my garage! Great video, also glad they didn,t put some stupid oversize wheels on it.
Yes Sir!
