- The 2021 Ford Nationals celebrates the 1971-1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 & Boss Mustang plus a rare, 1 of 9, Shelby Europa GT350 ( 351W ). It is a European only, performance version based on the Mach 1. For more photos, videos and your regional calendar of events, visit www.NortheastWheelsEvents.com
The 71’-73’ cars are really growing in interest. They are beautiful cars.
The rosy lens of time does wonders! Please check out the other, interesting cars on my channel, Javier. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I am beginning to warm up to the 71-73s, I think it depends on the color and wheels and striping. I had never heard of the Shelby Europa, thanks for showing that.
It was a very, interesting, highlight of the display! Few knew of this, rare, European variant.

I was tepid to them until I owned one. I had owned a 67 and 69 before I owned my 72 Grande. It was the best built of the 3, and surely the fastest with a 351C 4V. But to be fair... the others were 302s. I wouldn't mind owning another. I might actually prefer having a 302
Wow, just when you thought you had seen it all here comes the SHELBY GT350 EUROPA. 😳
I wonder what else we haven't seen yet. Thank you for showing us. 😳
I will keep an eye open for something a little different in all things Shelby for you, CellPat2
Good collection of "big" Stangs.
Carlisle knows how to do it well!
Shelby actually also built an American version of the Europa Shelby Mustang. These were rebuilt Mach 1s with 351- or 429-cubic-inch V8s in 1971 as the GT350 and GT500, respectively. From 1972 only the 351 Cleveland V8 was available. These had the bodywork painted in the most psychedelic color selections like a bright citrus yellow, for example, a flat black hood with the center cut out to expose the carburetor induction stacks and a blackout honeycomb grille with the Shelby "coiled snake" emblem in the center and the larger inner rectangular lighting, as on this Shelby Europa. An example from 1973 finished in orange, one of the last built, was featured in the 1974 movie Gone In 60 Seconds.
I never realized this, Angel !!! Thanks for the insight. There is always something new to learn about our hobby. Thanks again!
@@carshowreporter These Mustangs however lacked the "Shelby European" lettering and stripes. I had at least one Matchbox die cast example in citrus yellow among a collection I got for Christmas in 1978.
P S. In 1979 McLaren took up the torch from Carroll Shelby and built a fleet of Fox-body Mustangs with a blueprinted 2.3-liter turbocharged in-line 4 DOHC FoMoCo engine from a performance version of the Pinto from Pangra Enterprises under the code M-85. It made nearly 200 bhp! It was conceived as a successor to the Mustang II-based Cobra II. Just a handful, maybe a dozen were ultimately completed. The McLaren Mustang idea was later revived by the Ford Special Vehicle Operations performance laboratory and a limited production run was built in 1984-86 as the Mustang SVO.
The 2 ltr Ford OHC engine has it's own formula, Formula Ford. It is a great work horse!! It would make sense to build a 2.3. I will have to look into those McLarens!!! Thanks again for the fascinating background, Angel !
@@carshowreporter The same idea returned to V8 power in 1995, moving away from the 2.3 straight 4 to the Cleveland 351 V8 with 305 bhp and up from the by-then discontinued, mid-engine De Tomaso Pantera and 250 were built as the Cobra R.
Wow! The last time I saw that many of this style Mustang together was at the Ford Dealer back in the Day when they were new. I also saw Panteras offered by Lincoln-Mercury Dealers. While the Mustangs were about $3,600+, the Panteras stickered for $11,700.
The acres of Carlisle looked like a storage lot for Ford. There were long isles of red and yellow ponies from their club as well as isles and isles showing off every year of America's favorite stallion. I remember the L/M showrooms with that exotic, Italian/American!!
I got to race against a europa shelby when I was stationed in Holland. The Dutch Mustang club held a drag race event on a 2 lane road that was shut down for the event.
What were you running?? How did the Europa do??
@Pamela Hirschhorn
A then fairly new 1990 Mustang GT with a 120 shot of nitrous. He wasn't quick of the line and never got next to me. I then raced a blown '67 coupe and was handed my arse to me.
Whether or not it’s a real Europa, all of those mustangs are pretty nice!
Carlisle tries to bring out the best and most interesting!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Shane.
Magnifique collection 👍!!

Sweet!! You you have photos or videos on line? If so, please post the link.
@@carshowreporter tribute car
Cool.................... 👍😉
Thanks THROTTLE POWER!! Carlisle always assembles some great displays and includes a few surprises.
I heard of a Lotus Europa but never a Mustang one. Yes I like the green Mach 1 and the blue convertible. Nice prices 40 years ago!
It is surprising the company was able to use the name, as Colin had it gracing his flying bread wagon.
No OEM steering wheels. Incorrect decals . Wrong wings, add on ram air kits, but they are as beautiful as mine !
The beauty of Mustang!! It is a great line which owner's can make their own and still look good!! Thanks for watching and commenting, SKY King. Enjoy your Mach 1 , Nellie Bell and Songbird!

What is a 301 2barrel? And yes 351 and 390 as well as 289 and 302 came with 2 and 4 barrel, not that interesting and pretty common knowledge. 2:05
and yes IK this video is 2 years old
You know, Tim, you are the first to not my slip up!! Ah, what's a cube amongst friends??!! Just kidding!! Yes, as you state, it is a 302 and yes, very common knowledge!!!! Thanks for the catch!! Happy and healthy 2024 !!
@@carshowreporter lol np. Sorry if I was rude
@@timsgta Oh no, Tim!! Thank You for keeping the record straight and me on my toes!!!! Happy and healthy 2024!
yes rare badging
Thanks, Gerry, I look for the more unusual!
How can I get one?
Which one????
Show me the Marti Report.
Always a good resource, Mike. I will not assume, ( Yes, I watched the Odd Couple!! ), but it probably has a report. Any Ford, especially a special edition or performance car, should have a Marti Report. Please check out my other videos, Mike.
Sorry, the white Shelby Europe is not one. No 72 SE was built. This is one of the known replica, tribute or whatever, but not real one.
Thanks for the heads up, T5owner. I did some investigating and wrote to Wolfgang Kohrn of www.ponysite.de to see if he can verify your observation. By the way, does your T5 have an accent line down the center of the roof? This is one of the few I have ever seen, and the only one with the unusual roof line. th-cam.com/video/eDzowoFcfpg/w-d-xo.html
Not a single coupe
You know, James, I had to watch thevideo again!!! You are right!!!!!
Its a Shelby in name only....
There's nothing special about it except for its badging.
Carroll had no problem lending his name for a dollar.....
Well, Ford owned Shelby American and Carroll retired in 1970, so, as you stated, the '71 was not by Carroll Shelby. You are also correct about selling his name, just as Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari does. Check out this brief history: www.shelby.com/en-us/History
Ford never built these cars either if that's what you're implying?
Shelby called a dealer in the u.s. he knew and asked if they would ship some mustangs over to Europe. The dealer in Europe gave Carroll good money to allow him to put his name on those said mustangs.
The euro Shelby is not considered a genuine Shelby in the world of Mustang enthusiasts.
They have no Shelby build plate, they are not numbered and they for sure do not appear in the Shelby book.
They wouldn't bring Shelby dollars either...
All ram air cars are 2 barrel car
I had to check this out, Robert. Are you ready for some VERY confusing facts? Basicly, the '73 ram air was a 2bbl, but..... www.motortrend.com/how-to/351-cleveland-engine-history/
@@carshowreporter wonder how they got it 351 boss to pass emissions because that’s why they couldn’t do ram air on a 4 v
Good question, Robert. Remember, this is a European model as well as being over 25 years old. @@roberthirshfield3571
Not even a real car
Sorry, it is a real car, with a strange story behind it.
