  • Shelby. It's a word that provokes a sense of performance. Most of us have owned or know somebody who has owned a @Ford Motor Company #mustang. Today, we take the final journey through Gary Thomas's amazing collection.Gary's collection includes, Mustangs, hot rods, ford hypercar and supercars, and other Ford performance cars.
    The #Ford Mustang has been in continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Currently in its sixth generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines.
    Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch.
    The success of the Mustang launch led to multiple competitors from other American manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (1967), AMC Javelin (1968), and Dodge Challenger[9](1970). The Mustang also had an effect on designs of coupés worldwide, leading to the marketing of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States.
    Through its production, multiple nameplates have been associated with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, Cobra (separate from Shelby Cobra), and Bullitt, along with "5.0" fender badging (denoting 4.9 L OHV or 5.0 L DOHC V8 engines).

    My goodness!... no idea how Gary can remember all of the details of his cars. Didn't realize this was a 3-parter. I hope he drives some of these and doesn't just look at them!

    Holy cow! Yet another vid from Gary and Petersen Automotive.
    Gary is awesome! His knowledge is both entertaining and informative.
    I'm a Chevy guy (1970 Z28 and a 1965 'Vette and C-10 1978 truck 4 wheel drive) but the 1969 Mach 1 has always been my favorite!
    Thank you! :)

    Wow what a collection! My dad had a little red 94' SVT Lightning when I was a kid. That truck was so fun to drive and it handled really well for an OBS Ford. We ended up putting 240K miles on the truck with the original motor still running good when he sold it. I would buy it back in a heartbeat given the chance...

    I've always been a Ford guy all my life Very 1st car was a 64 Galaxie 500 with the big 390 and a c-6 tranny. It was a great old car. That was in 1971, but then I moved on up to another Galaxie 500 Xl.in 1972. This was the beginning of my hot rodding phase. With a 406, single 780 double pumper Holley on a mid height aluminum intake, Isky 3/4 cam, factory headers and some big cherry bomb dual exhaust with a 390 rear posi traction rear. I was surely in love with that all black on black beautiful girl. I wish I had her back along with the same number of years that has been. I'm impressed very much how Gary can keep all of the details of all of his cars. Hey Gary if you ever need a buddy that can drive real well to do any driving for you let me know, I'm real cheap (free) all I need is a hamburger every once in a while. Thanks for showing us your fabulous collection, I really enjoyed becoming jealous for a while.

    Enjoy your videos Gary. Your description of the 1966 silver blue k-code you mentioned solid lifters and 371 HP HIPO in that portion of the video. I was the proud owner of a 1965 Mustang GT K-code which I purchased in 1967 when I was a senior in high school. As i recall the engine produced 271 HP. Were they producing a small block 289 with 100 more HP?? I still have numerous photos which I occasionally look at and reminisce days at MN dragstrip and evenings at the local A & W drive-in.
