Which was your favourite out of all these vehicles??
Definitely the cobra!!! 🤤🤤
2 $mill Cobra
I'm a big Cobra fan, but you have to stop dead in your tracks when there's a GT40 in the room! 😎
The gt 40 and the cobra.
The replica cobra and the replica gt40 😉
This man needs to have a major documentary made of his unbelievable ability not only to collect but his mind his recall,
He is a National Treasure
Doug 😎
Truly an amazing collection and a great guy! Thanks for watching, Doug!
100% !
could not agree more Doug
@@soberingrestorationservices Watching you guys from Europe GT40 was were i stopped the video and re-watched again that section, the fellow there is definitely a real petrolicious gentleman and both Cobra & GT-40 sounded absolutely amazing !
Thank you. Check out our second video on these cars.
They are great I will take them both but they are not from the original Shelby production they are continuation cars made in the 1980's and 90's hence the Fiberglass body on the Cobra and not the original Aluminum. If you listen to the videos he says so 4:50. The GT40 is a MK5 made in the 90's they were not the original Aluminum Chassis but in fact a unibody car as he describes at 26:18. Don't get me wrong I wish they were mine !
I feel honored a DD shirt made it in that building haha
👍👍🇨🇦
That was some video! What an honor it would be to be able to hang out with that guy!
Dan your fuel injected 57 that you took on Power Tour last year I believe, is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen!
Check out part 2.
The ear rings look stupid!
WHAT AN AMAZING HUMBLE GUY!💥🙌👊AUSTRALIA!
@glengrant3884 he really is! Thanks for watching!
Ditto...NZ !!
This gentleman is amazing to listen to, people like this are a treasure! When they are gone all that information is lost!.. could listen to him for hours
Frankly, I think Warren is the "Holy Grail" here. And THANK YOU for just letting him talk, uninterrupted, to tell his tales. Wonderful.
@superbear617 Agreed! Thanks very much for watching!
On the GT-40, when he was speaking about the push from the air that had passed through the radiators - I remember hearing engineering tests on Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered WW2 aircraft like the Spitfire where a re-design of the exhaust stacks gained something like 12 miles per hour for the plane's top speed - using the power of the exhaust for extra boost.
thats what my uncle said he drove spits
True also for the Mustang sister ship, the T-28. I flew the T-28B in Navy flight training as the first stop on my way to my Navy Wings. As I recall the NATOPS indicated some 12% added exhaust thrust at full power. There may have been a graph as well in the back of the book. The nine-cylinder radial was equipped with a two-stage supercharger, requiring a blower shift at 12,500ft during climb-out.
I think originally the Merlin's exhausts pointed forward, to minimise the risk of the pilot's view being obscured by the oil spots etc coming out.
This dude is bigger than life ❤! This dude is one person I won’t ever forget for the rest of my life, one of the best videos I’ve seen in my life , THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS as I am a Ford Nut guy ! Adelaide , South Australia 🇦🇺
Warren is such a great guy and family friend! He is the most humble person I ever met!
@davejaykins539 he certainly is!
Awesome find and content guys. Looking forward to more from this guy. As a retired Ford engineer I love listening to guys like Warren talk about design features that most people would never know.
@380.motorsports he's got so many stories, stay tuned for part 2!
This is the type of Storytelling that I've been looking for on TH-cam for years thank you so much for finally producing something worthwhile in this f****** station not your subscription but TH-cam
Many more stories to come. Stay tuned.
I believe that the GT40 is a Safir MkV that was produced in the early '80s. This guy has come really cool stuff!
Great episode. But I am shocked at how little you know about the automotive world having a channel dedicated to it.
I'm not really a ford guy, so I don't know alot about them. GM is more my groove. I kinda redeemed myself in the video coming out on Friday.
... where's your channel ???
Pantera guys must be going nuts. They were mostly sold at Lincoln-Mercury dealerships - and they sold poorly. I wanted one in the worst way when I was a kid. They were magnificent cars, and all the parts have Ford parts numbers. A large underground exists to support them and their problems are well-known. Buy one that is already sorted from a Pantera Club member.
This is a great interview. He’s very informative. He’s correct that Phil was a genius and should have gotten more credit for their success in the movie. I assume that he’s very wealthy. What business is he in?
Wow. What a collection !! And Warren is a great guy and just a fountain of automotive knowledge. Cant wait for part 2 and more of his collection.
@MWL4466 more to come, thanks for watching!
Amazing! Very interesting fellow. Great stories. Thanks for putting it out there for everyone to see.
Thanks for watching!
This is one excellent video. There are guys like him scattered around North America that know so much and kinda blend into the woodwork. My favourite is that Starliner. And nice shot of Dave exiting the bathroom 😂
Hey Ron, thanks for watching!
That cammer 427 is massive.
Man is a legend and no one who owns one of these cars in the future (the cobra for sure) will ever have the personal connection with them like he does.
For the curious:
The Detomaso Pantera were assembled in Italy and used a Ford sourced 351 Windsor engine in the first year of production (1971). Ford imported the cars for North America and sold them through their Lincoln Mercury dealer network that same year.
In 1972 the engine was switched to a Ford 351 Cleveland and it used that engine right until 1988 and then switched to the Ford 5.0 V8. Ford ceased importing/selling the Pantera in 1975. The Pantera was built from 1971-1992 (7,260 cars total) There’s a lot more to the history of the car you can read about on Wikipedia
When the Pantera was released in the states, I was in high school. I drove to my local Lincoln Mercury dealer, walked right up to one on the showroom floor. It was a somewhat deep brown metallic. I looked over the sticker then the bottom line. $9999.95
I had to chuckle... they kept it under $10K. This in the day when I'd bought a brand new Toyota for 1/5th that amount. I just found it very hard to believe anyone had that kind of money, in those days, to buy something so... so impractical. Wasn't much you could do with it... long trips would have been painful. I'm 6'4" - couldn't get into it (doors locked of course) but just looking inside hurt. 🙂
A couple years earlier I'd tried to convince Dad he needed a Mustang 🙂Instead, he got a Mercury Montclair with a 390, 2bbl. No Mustang but she would go faster than I ought to have driven her.
Great cars, but didn’t get why he talks about them as if they are a real cobra and gt40, they are both kit cars, still great cars though 😉
No, Warren explained that "in fact" both are original. If you are referring to the fact that neither car came of a Ford production line, semantics! No ford GT-40 was mass produced on a production line, all were purpose ordered by racing teams. The ACE Cobra can be considered a kit car only in that they were special ordered by customers with the body work done in the U.K. and frame and chasses in the U.S..
@@donhammer186 I think he means they are not from the original Shelby production they are continuation cars made by Shelby America in the 1980's and 90's hence the Fiberglass body and not original Aluminum. If you listen to the videos he says so 4:50. The GT40 is a MK5 made in the 90's they were not the original Aluminum Chassis but infact a unibody car as he describes at 26:18. Don't get me wrong I wish they were mine !
@@fleetcaretrucks Are you sure about the 4:50 mark? I went back to 4:50 and that wasn't the to[pic? the topic was the dual quad induction (air fuel system) wouldn't surprise me if the timing marks are off. Regardless, thanks for the correction if I'm wrong!
@@donhammer186 For me its the 4:50 mark is when he talks about building the car 32 years ago which would be around 1991.
He also talks about fiberglass work to get the engine bay...and he is way to young to have ordered an original. Like I said they are great looking cars. I would be proud to own either,
17:54 - Yupp, just got schooled in some science there. Feeling a bit smarter!
Pantera - body/chassis by De Tomaso in Italy, Ford engine, I think the transmissions were by ZF - European.
Tim Horton had a Pantera and rolled it into a ball of tin at about 150 mph. I was a kid delivering papers in Stonewall (Mb) - I can still remember reading that article about Horton.
A lot of zf transmissions made it into Fords. The zf5-42 and zf5-47 was the granny low 5 speed transmission available in all Ford trucks for over a decade. The zf6 was the 6 speed mated to the 6.0 diesel. The 05-06 GT also had a zf transaxle.
@@tailwatcher2500 The 05-06 Ford GT featured a Ricardo 6 speed trans. I believe that some of the early test cars used a RBT6 ( updated version of the GT40/Pantera ZF 5 speed) .
Awesome collection. Warren certainly has a wealth of knowledge about these old classics.
He certainly does. Thanks for watching, Dave!
@@soberingrestorationservices
i could listen to Warren for days just awesome thanks
37:28 De Tomosa was the manufacturer of the Pantera and Mangusta (Mongoose) which had Ford running gear. There may have been a Ghia connection.
Fascinating story behind Alejandro DeTomaso who was an Argentinian race car driver who started his car company in Modena Italy. He even built an F1 car for Frank Williams in 1970.
He tells great stories. Like being in the Cobra on the hyw in winter.
And all his cars run.
The GT 40 incredible orator of the history.
@dougherdman4827 More to come! Thanks for watching!
i thought my Vincent Black Shadow special motor was a tight fit when it came to working on it but that 427 motor in the Cobra takes the biscuit, where there's a will etc, etc.
Plumbers nightmare.
@@Gregsheppo66 you're thinking of the 'A' series machines.
37:51 That "not so cool" car is a Ford Taurus SHO and it is most definitely a cool car!
Since I own one I was hoping he would say something about it when he turned past the Pantera, and was REALLY pissed when he didn't.
Audio was an issue, couldn't hear half of what the old guy said...! Thanks though, keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
We've got the audio problem figured out. They will be getting better soon. Thanks.
Thanks
Wow what a walking encyclopaedia.What a sick collection of auto history. Cheers from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Thanks for watching, Jeremy!
Did I miss the chassis numbers of the Cobra and GT 40? And, it's not "how many 427s are there in Cobras" it's "how many 427 Cammers or 427 SOHCs". How in the HELL do you walk away without getting a CSX number and P number? Austin Healey! No, MG Midget.
Watch our next video on this incredible collection. The Cobra and Gt 40 are explained. Thanks for the comment Larry.
Encyclopedia Warren. Amazing.
The 352 in the Star liner has a flat tappet adjustable rocker cam?
It's a solid lifter cam so the rocker arms are adjustable.
That is not a real gt40 by any means period.
What makes you say that Frank?
Amazing what Warren has inside his head for historical auto knowledge. People like this need to have their memories and recollections kept for posterity. Great to see you him talk and educate all of us and not just focusing on the cars themselves. Kudos.
Stories upon stories! Each as informing as the last. Thanks for watching, Michael!
The biggest tragedy will be when he passes and all the stories he has never get told. Amazing amazing amazing collection and what an incredible steward of the these cars.
@dwtrksvc A fantastic experience being able to take a tour of Warren's shop. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for part 2!
So true, his collection is so UN-CLINICAL !!
... an audio biography would b priceless - thou there would b nearly un-ending volumes n volumes of information - he'd have to start asap !
Aerodynamics. As a retired aircraft mechanic that one word sums up the movement of any object through the air. F-1 race car teams spend a fortune on this one aspect of the cars ability to out run its competitors.
I had no idea that Heaven was in Canada and was so dusty, but I am convinced. A 427 cammer in a genuine Cobra. a REAL GT40, all under the custodianship of Cobra Rainman? St. Peter be jealous.
Check out part 2 Frank. Everything is explained.
Love the channel (I’m new to it). Great video!! I mean this absolutely respectful, it does have a scuba diving feel, or earth Vader (Luke I am your father) vibe to it with the heavy breathing. Lol. Awesome vid, and can’t wait to watch more. Thank you all
Thanks Hank. Part 2 is now up. Thanks for watching. Welcome aboard.
427 sohc 2 x 4bbl = that is a special rare job there
If Warren sees this we miss you buddy--Its been along time since we have seen you over at Gary's East Valley Mustang in Mesa, Az!
Warren reads all the comments, but may not respond. I will mention your comment to him later this week when we go back to visit him. Thanks for watching.
Thanks For Sharing. ❤️😀
That GT450 is so so so so so so so fukkin cool! Dream car. total dream car.
Check out part 2 buddy.
This he say what the chassis number of the GT40 was? Im curious as I have the book with all the chassis numbers to see where and who raced it. Thanks so much.
Not a real GT40, a Safir
Detamosa pantera😂 you are car guys yet you didn't know the name of the maker or how to pronounce it... It's DETOMASO FFS!!!.
Next time bring a real car guy. Who knows so stuff. My head is hurting because of all this guessing.
Check out part 2. I did much better even though I'm not a Ford guy.
love this history.... cammer .....
Yes, if the differential blows up, say goodbye to your favorite bits!!!!
@666silva666 lol yep!
He is has vast amount of knowledge. Teaching about why and how systems work. An excellent teacher to whom I would direct all my attention to in class. The way he explains in detail and nobody was interrupting him with silly questions.
@thebrain7065 He certainly does. Stay tuned for part 2!
I NEED to meet this guy...
the second 427 cammer 427 is here in saltlake , city utah, ive seen it, it does exist , and wow.
Very sweet gentlemen, beautiful cars. I would really question the the big hitter 427 Cobra and GT40 as originals, they appear more like replicas.
Stay tuned for Friday's video. Warren explains them both.
The Cobra was real. It had the Shelby badge on it in the video. The GT40 looks to be real. Just would need to know the chassis number to be sure.
$20,000,000 for the lot….
What a nasty sound gt40. What a cool guy warren is. I have had in my life 2 Shelby Mustangs restored 1 all the stuff I know compared to this guy would probably fit on the head of a pin . Would love to meet him. Good vid
Definitely a wealth of knowledge he has. Thanks for watching, Rob!
Come on you guys...car guys that don't know beans about cars? Looked like you had never been up close to a Pantera before, and a 302 in a Pantera? How about 351 Cleveland. You don't know what a 1966 Mercury Cyclone is? OK, you're not FORD guys. Stick to the GM stuff. Sorry to rain on your parade. I still enjoyed the video. Wish I could've been there to ask the right questions.
If you don't know say so . Bluffing your way thru what these cars and engines are is very irritating . Learning some history on the 427 SOHC {it's not a 427 production engine} . Detomaso in Italy built the Pantera sold in the US by Lincoln/Mercury 71 to 74 , powered by a mid engine 351C , 4bbl . I own #2264 .
Ford lovers dream
❤❤❤ if you care so much about the cars why are they in a dust pit?
They have been cleaned since the first and second videos.
Nothing else sounds like a 427 SOHC. I’m determined to own one some day.
"Randomly firing up his 427 Cobra"... you didn't mention it was a freakin cammer...
Buy them all ❤
All this in a tarp building? Come on man you can do better than that! These cars deserve more!!!!
Wow. . Just wow.
At 4:54 ~ "I set up a Shelby Franchise in Saskatchewan "... At 5:07 ~ "I was just working for a dealership, i don't own the dealership, i just work for the dealership"... When Two plus Two equals Eight it indicates a strong smell of fish!!!
@@cravena99 !
Outstanding
The Boss 302 is a Laguna Seca edition.
Yes it is. Very cool car.
As a 51 year old man,I love these ole timers.There sadly a dieing breed.
I have to disagree with him on the movie. He said Phil Remington was mentioned "ONCE". Thats totally untrue. He was in the movie for most of it. He went by his nickname "Pops". He was with Shelby at Willow Springs, he was helping take orders for the Cobra. He designed the entire braking assembly and suspension to be switched out. He was drawing the sketch while chatting with Peter. He was in the movie A LOT!
He helped with the aero when they got the yarn and tape and took out the Ford computer. He was timing it when Ken drove the 427 the first time at Dearborn. Did they say his actual name? A few times, but you learned he went by his nickname Pops!
speechless
I didn't know Ford made a camper mother till 6 months ago.. now here one is ...cool..
Awesome stuff.
It's pronounced de Tomaso. Powered by an Australian-built 351 ci Cleveland V8.
Pete Brock gave an interview explaining the aerodynamics of your car. He designed the air flow of the GT. At the time nobody gave it a second thought. After the win at Le Mans they all wanted the secrets. I spent 30 years as a Hang Glider pilot and flew Pete's UP wings and could appreciate his genius.
The list of cars in this shop at tyeh beginning of teh comment section is far from complete.Ther are a lot of cars they did not talk about sitting ther that are icons also. I could spend 2 weeks 15 hours a day just looking and not eve h;ave him talk about them. Of he were talking and givving history about tehm , make it 3 months , 15 hours a day.If you could have him dictate the info in his head , It would fill 2000 plus old size motor manuals , if done in extra small print. What a nationsl treasure this guy is. I hope he leave all we saw her to the smithsonian or henry ford muscem. Either one would require an extra wing to be added on, and you would have to make reservations to sspend 2 days viewing it all.
I would like to know A. How are the birds getting in & B. Is anyone helping him seal that garage up & C. Is anyone helping him clean up & keep everything in prestine shape? 1st things 1st, get that car cover/garage sealed up!
Hope that old boy lives forever and those cars stay hidden away right there
Holy crap that a real cobra. And Th that a Gt omg
Watch part 2 for more details. Thank you.
Did I hear cyclone gt .I'm going to lose it #@$%*& my first car wish I had that probably can't afford it now too like to know though.
That Gt 40 I'd daily. Its absolutely beautiful
Wow..that is car heaven..is that a museum
Just a personal collection. Check out part 2.
Wow! you really have no idea what your looking at do you?? Kinda disrespectful putting your phone on that gt 40 😢
Weird they ask how many 427 Cobras? Well that's not just a 427 It's an SOHC 427.
😮 the Holy Grail amazing ❤ Gt 40wow the cars holy Hollywood dreams 💯💪😁💢😎🎉
Was the camera man holding the camera in his mouth... jeezus.
Sounds like Darth Vader Jr...
Who is this guy and what business does he own?
He's a retired fella who has an incredible collection of cars that he still enjoys working on.
I wonder if he knows that GT40 can fetch $15-$20 million...
That GT 40 is worth one hell of a lot of money. It needs to be taken out of there where all the mice are living with the fuel turning to varnish and all hydraulic components are corroding.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is sitting on MILLIONS of dollars in history.
You guys need to sit this guy down and do a video on each of these cars, the stories and his attention to detail are INSANE
If/when he decides to sell them on his knowledge will add tremendous value
We have upcoming videos of sitting down with Warren and having him tell his stories. Stay tuned.
That red Taurus 94 I think it's a sho
Yes it is a S.H.O. Taurus, that body style is a gen 2, late 92-95, the motor is a 4cam v-6 built by Yamaha with a claimed 220hp, but my TOTALLY STOCK 95 5-speed has been dyno-ed at 270hp at 230,000 miles.
I knew I'd seen this guy soon as I saw him beside this car Vancouver bc Langley maybe don't recall
Truly an amazing person!
Absolutely.
Are we really listening to the guy in the backseat? You're in the backkkkkkkkk! You don't talk!
Damn that 72 bronze Bumpside CamperSpecial is GORGEOUS ❤ I LOVE the 67 Bumpside and the 2002 Bright red F-150 supercharged Lighting
Dude that’s a 427 sohc cammer engine. Talk about cool and rare.
I watched this in my car and my subwoofer went nuts when he started that cobra! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the shout out in the comments
A Cammer in a Cobra! Who would have thunk! 😆
An incredible sounding car! Even better in person haha. Thanks for watching, Dan!
Ford Taurus sho. Front wheel drive v8. Supercharged
