Great car ! I loved the comment Dennis made, "These were rated at 330 horse with around 400 at the rear wheels. They neutered the numbers because of the insurance rates". So true.
It's funny how on the brochure they rated the (Estimated) HP at 3200 RPM. Who stops the dyno run at 3200 with a Big block Ford, and makes that the official number? I doubt many insurance companies fell for that one.
Beautiful example of Shelby awesomeness. While I am more partial to the early years of Shelbys, there is no doubt that this 70 is absolutely gorgeous. Great color too. Every one of Dennis' cars you have shared are beautiful. You are one lucky guy, Lou. Not many get to drive a Shelby. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Russell, "Beautiful example of Shelby awesomeness." Well said :-) I'm very lucky, and happy to share that moment with you. Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
One of my favorites too, Lou! With the Grabber Blue paint, the reflective stripes, and that 428, you'd better admire it before that stoplight changes, or it's gone!
I restored my 70 (Gulfstream/white 4 speed) GT350 #2368. The driver is correct that this is an extremely comfortable drive. Windows down on the freeway and you can really enjoy it. Beautiful car. Nice!
Another outstanding video Lou. In 1970 I almost bought one but I just didn’t have the funds to get it. I was stationed in Virginia Beach in the military at the time. Still love this car!
That is one cool Shelby Mustang. I love that he drives it . I'm sure he doesn't often because that car has a very high value . So cool that he allowed you to drive it as well . I can see that you have good relationships with many of the owners of these beautiful cars . Thanks for sharing .
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy this "Cool" car :-) Seems I bond well with "Car People" and I think it's because we're both passionate about the same topic, cars. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Cool ride - I think I have already told you this - My first new car was a 1970 Mustang - Red 302 - The Shelby was above my pay grade. • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Me, too.mThough, mine was a hot 1970 DODGE coronet 500/ RALLEY red/383 TURQUOISE ,ETC.INTERESTINGLY, THOSE Polyglas tires were really flat on -20 Mormings in N WEBSTER IND, ETC, FORGOT , what it was ,Ike to have a potent engine, though now with Supercharging, etc , really impressive,
What a sweet Shelby and how cool that you got to drive it! Those were a tough car to sell back then. The 70's were leftover 69's with new vin numbers the hood stripes and chin spoilers. The few I'd see on the roads back then were easy to remember like super birds and Daytona chargers. Thanks for a great video on a really rare Shelby.
Hi Steve, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car. Very cool to take a spin in this car and happy to be able to share it with you :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
This '70 Shelby is beautiful in fastback form with Grabber blue paint. Oh and the exhaust note and tailpipe design - very cool. Really like this car, in part, because it doesn't seem to get the attention of the earlier models yet I think it's more streamlined and as good looking as any other. Happy for Dennis, and grateful to Lou - always enjoy your terrific vids. Thanks guys.
Hello Lou, what un amazing car...I love the mustang series from that era... very cool model. Thanks once more for charing, and is awesome to know that details info from the owner like all the little differences between models... thanks, can wait for the next episode. cheers. 🇨🇭🇵🇹👍🏼

My favorite of all of the mustangs!! My neighbor's dad had a 1969 GT 500 in a "british racing green" color. Very rare to see one in this gorgeous blue color I actually have that same brochure. I remember being in my friends dad's Shelby, and being in the rear seat holding onto the roll bar , as a kid as he rocketed down the road, a most memorable experience for me!! That sound, it's just as I remember it! Dennis is very fortunate to have that car. Thanks Lou!

“Got my drivers license at 14, and the first thing I do is take my dad’s 34 dodge out and get caught by the cops driving 85 mph.” Carroll Shelby was an absolute legend, and a genius with cars.
Not many know, but there were so many unsold '69 Shelbys that Ford re-badged the '69 left-overs as a '70 (with the FBI's approval)... changed the serial numbers, added the chin spoiler, black stripes on the hood... and Dennis recognized this as he commented when showing the data plate on the door that the new sticker had been added and the holes for the '69 data plate were still there. The '69 '70 Shelby has always been my favorite car in the world and this one is beautiful! Thanks for the vid!

IWhat a time machine. I remember one of these hot roddin around the little prairie town I grew up in. It was an orange car with white lettering/stripes. My friends and I called it the creamsicle. This was like 76'-77', I would have been in kindergarten/grade 1.
Lou, Dennis: great overview.... admittedly , I wanted a SHELBY ALSO also: settling on a 1970 DODGE Coronet 500/383/310( ??supposedly rated) my FIRST NEW CAR(* the RALLEY Red color / Black Vinyl Helped) for some** $3100 full delivered price Actually, took,a test drive in a BOSS 302@ Purdue ,looked a few others....driving Fords for several years then....anyways, thanks,
Hi Steel Assault, Happy to read you enjoy this "very nice and neat" car. I think that's why we had the camera rolling so there would be evidence if I did not bring it back :-) A treat to drive this one, and glad I could take you along for the ride, Lou
Thanks Lou for this interview! I was patiently waiting for you to post this amazing and cool Shelby GT 500. No pressure, but hoping for more like these, maybe a 1969 GT 500? I am restoring one so all the details in your videos are incredibly helpful and educational as well. No pressure Lou but I'll continue to wait patiently. Keep up the great videos, appreciate them all. ✌
This 70 Shelby Mustang is the most beautiful Mustang ever produced. Second IMO is the 69 Mach 1 with the full ribbed rocker panels, before Larry Shinoda started stripping away all that beautiful trim from 70 on. Lou, fellow Shelby fans, I've sent emails to Revology® Cars, advising them that they need to offer a reproduction of the 69 / 70 Shelby Mustang. I hope others will send Revology similar emails. We need to get these 69 / 70 Shelby Mustangs reproduced. One big positive about Revology, is that they would probably enhance the performance on their reproductions. I.e. the reproductions would be faster and maybe lighter than the originals.

Nice ‘69 Shelby. The tail lights are identical as the mechanical sequential used in the ‘65 Thunderbird. I remember in the T-Bird they slowly lit one by one from center to side, until all three lamps remained lit for about one second, then went dark simultaneously, repeating the cycle until turned off.

My goodness where does Dennis get these beauties from my Lord! This car there is just no words that fit this car but just to say it is outstanding in every way! I love that color Grabber Blue and the options are just what I would have had maybe a few more when or if I got it new. But hey just a ride in would get my adrenelin up and running. I loved the ride along! That engine sound and position of the exhaust in the back I just loved. Dennis and Lou I could write all kinds of good things on this car all day and it still would not be enough to say about this car. Dennis keep bringing out these goodies!!! Thanks for sharing Lou a outstanding video!!!
Hi Steve, High praise for this car :-) Glad to be able to take you along for the ride, and I'll let you in on an upcoming episode. This Friday Dennis is going to bring out a car you're going to say "WHAT?" :-) You're welcome, and stay tuned, Lou
I love those Shelby Stangs! This is as gorgeous a ride as it gets! Electric cars can kiss my (CENSORED)!!!! Big time! Its one thing to feel power - but then with this machine, you feel it, hear it and smell it. No E-Car can ever compare. I know I'm being vague about it, but I really don't like E-Cars. Ewww! 3 Wows, 2 Thumbs Up, and a Fonzie "Ayyye!" for this 70 Shelby
@@Freedomquest08 I agree. The only thing missing from them is a toaster. But then I guess if the batteries catch fire - then it might count as a toaster.

Wow' awesome! That color just takes this car to a whole new level! I've always been a fan of the Shelby Mustangs and the 69/ 70 sports roof is my favorite Mustang and Shelby next to the convertible! I don't ever recall seeing a Shelby in this color before and with the impression this car made on me I think I would remember it!
Hi, Lou! Boy, talk about HORSE power! Or is it snake power? Well, either way, it must have been quite an honor and a thrill to drive something most of us never get to! Many thanks to you and Dennis for this full gallop jaunt!
Hi iswc27, "Snake power" I like that :-) Good one. Yes, a real treat to drive this one for sure, and glad I can share that with you. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Goodday Lou, Hope you & your family are all well. Just been under the pump here in Melbourne, everything has opened up & doing 15 hour days of work. Finally get to sit down & watch your video's. Great Shelby Mustang in the Grabber Blue. Considering how much Shelby's are fetching atm, yeah you would seldom drive one. In my opinion after the movie " Ford vs Ferrari " came out all of a sudden everything at the auctions with any heritage to Shelby went up 25% overnight especially at Mecum. Dennis is a great caretaker of this magnificent Shelby. Love those Thunderbird taillights in sequential. Just back tracking on a few video's atm. Stay warm, stay safe. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Hi Louis, This one is a real treat, and to drive it was a wonderful opportunity. I'm best when I'm around cars, and this week there were 3 I videoed you're going to enjoy :-) One of them is a 1966 Fairlane that I'll upload and share with you this week, and you're going to be amazed. You stay safe too, Lou

well you wouldn't believe it - just stumbled across this vid - I own the car that followed this one down the assembly line - # 3131 - a dead ringer - colour - air cond - fold down seat - mine has tilt wheel fact am/fm - went to riverside california - so it had the calif gas tank vapour system installed at Kar Kraft prior to selling - kinda lame 3.00 gear because of the air conditioning - i put in a 3.25 pumpkin - bit more zippy now - they had to remove windshield to remove the 69 serial # plate - FBI oversaw the installation of a "new" 1970 number plate - same numbers except for the first number "9" to a "0" seeing mine was a calif car - no rust and luckily no hit - buildsheet under rear carpet -

Hey Lou its me...dont apologize it does have an AMX look to it, many of this era's cars had a generalized "coke-bottle" fuselage and long hood short deck design. to me and I know its blasphemous sacrilege, the front fascia even has a 69 Camaro look to it....kutgw.
@@loucostabile if you look on you tube. Most side stripes are placed to high. The reason for this is then the stripe is level. But it is not factory. I watched a fandom works episode where they took pictures of a original shelby. Then proceeded to install the stripes too high. What was the sense of documenting the original? I still have my gt 500 that I bought brand new.

I just went to the Shelby Museum / business in Vegas. There are no 69-70 Mustangs there in the museum! They consider 1968 to be the last year that real Shelbys were made???
Great car ! I loved the comment Dennis made, "These were rated at 330 horse with around 400 at the rear wheels. They neutered the numbers because of the insurance rates". So true.
Hi Glen, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great car !" :-) Thank you for sharing the comment you enjoy in the video, Lou

Nice car, but 400 hp at wheel wheels not a chance in hell, not even 300 at rear wheels.

I am very surprised Dennis could pry Lou out of the driver seat!!! Very nice and neat car
Hi Steel Assault, Happy to read you enjoy this "very nice and neat" car. I think that's why we had the camera rolling so there would be evidence if I did not bring it back :-) A treat to drive this one, and glad I could take you along for the ride, Lou
Thanks Lou for this interview! I was patiently waiting for you to post this amazing and cool Shelby GT 500. No pressure, but hoping for more like these, maybe a 1969 GT 500? I am restoring one so all the details in your videos are incredibly helpful and educational as well. No pressure Lou but I'll continue to wait patiently. Keep up the great videos, appreciate them all. ✌
Hi Alex, You're welcome, and regarding that 1969 GT 500, Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/etq6McMVcWw/w-d-xo.html

This car is very very beautiful Lou...I loved color
Hi Garage 73, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and color of this car :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
This 70 Shelby Mustang is the most beautiful Mustang ever produced. Second IMO is the 69 Mach 1 with the full ribbed rocker panels, before Larry Shinoda started stripping away all that beautiful trim from 70 on. Lou, fellow Shelby fans, I've sent emails to Revology® Cars, advising them that they need to offer a reproduction of the 69 / 70 Shelby Mustang. I hope others will send Revology similar emails. We need to get these 69 / 70 Shelby Mustangs reproduced. One big positive about Revology, is that they would probably enhance the performance on their reproductions. I.e. the reproductions would be faster and maybe lighter than the originals.

Nice ‘69 Shelby. The tail lights are identical as the mechanical sequential used in the ‘65 Thunderbird. I remember in the T-Bird they slowly lit one by one from center to side, until all three lamps remained lit for about one second, then went dark simultaneously, repeating the cycle until turned off.

Great job on showing the car! Spectacular car and definitely one of my favorites on your channel. I Learned new things as well. Keep up the great work!
Hi Brandon, Happy to read this one is a favorite on the Channel :-) The learning for me is so much FUN, and I'm glad you enjoy that too. Appreciate the kind word, it's encouraging, Lou
My goodness where does Dennis get these beauties from my Lord! This car there is just no words that fit this car but just to say it is outstanding in every way! I love that color Grabber Blue and the options are just what I would have had maybe a few more when or if I got it new. But hey just a ride in would get my adrenelin up and running. I loved the ride along! That engine sound and position of the exhaust in the back I just loved. Dennis and Lou I could write all kinds of good things on this car all day and it still would not be enough to say about this car. Dennis keep bringing out these goodies!!! Thanks for sharing Lou a outstanding video!!!
Hi Steve, High praise for this car :-) Glad to be able to take you along for the ride, and I'll let you in on an upcoming episode. This Friday Dennis is going to bring out a car you're going to say "WHAT?" :-) You're welcome, and stay tuned, Lou
I'm not a cigarette smoker but that's one cool lighter, bro.
Nice :-)
@@loucostabile LOL!
I love those Shelby Stangs! This is as gorgeous a ride as it gets! Electric cars can kiss my (CENSORED)!!!! Big time! Its one thing to feel power - but then with this machine, you feel it, hear it and smell it. No E-Car can ever compare. I know I'm being vague about it, but I really don't like E-Cars. Ewww! 3 Wows, 2 Thumbs Up, and a Fonzie "Ayyye!" for this 70 Shelby
Hi ImTheDaveman, I agree, this one is a gorgeous car :-) High praise for this 70 Shelby! Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
E-cars are transportation appliances. They are not cars.
@@Freedomquest08 I agree. The only thing missing from them is a toaster. But then I guess if the batteries catch fire - then it might count as a toaster.
It is a nice looking car. I like that the colour design is like a Escort RS200.

Hi motorTranz, You're right, like a new Shelby :-) You're welcome, Lou
Shelby Mustangs are so BADASS😎😎😎😎
:-)
Wow' awesome! That color just takes this car to a whole new level! I've always been a fan of the Shelby Mustangs and the 69/ 70 sports roof is my favorite Mustang and Shelby next to the convertible! I don't ever recall seeing a Shelby in this color before and with the impression this car made on me I think I would remember it!
Hi Danny, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and color of this car :-) Glad to read this car is one you enjoy. My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
One hot car
Just the way we like it :-)
Hi, Lou! Boy, talk about HORSE power! Or is it snake power? Well, either way, it must have been quite an honor and a thrill to drive something most of us never get to! Many thanks to you and Dennis for this full gallop jaunt!
Hi iswc27, "Snake power" I like that :-) Good one. Yes, a real treat to drive this one for sure, and glad I can share that with you. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Lou, as usual, very good video. Great car, great car owner.
Hi Scott, Happy to read you enjoy this video :-) My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
I choose to believe that the AMX resembles a Shelby.
Hi Bob, Thanks for viewing & sharing, Lou
Goodday Lou,
Hope you & your family are all well.
Just been under the pump here in Melbourne, everything has opened up & doing 15 hour days of work.
Finally get to sit down & watch your video's.
Great Shelby Mustang in the Grabber Blue. Considering how much Shelby's are fetching atm, yeah you would seldom drive one.
In my opinion after the movie
" Ford vs Ferrari " came out all of a sudden everything at the auctions with any heritage to Shelby went up
25% overnight especially at Mecum.
Dennis is a great caretaker of this magnificent Shelby. Love those Thunderbird taillights in sequential.
Just back tracking on a few video's atm.
Stay warm, stay safe.

Hi Louis, This one is a real treat, and to drive it was a wonderful opportunity. I'm best when I'm around cars, and this week there were 3 I videoed you're going to enjoy :-) One of them is a 1966 Fairlane that I'll upload and share with you this week, and you're going to be amazed. You stay safe too, Lou
@@loucostabile
Bring it on Lou, maybe God Willing I visit you in 2022 in November to goto MCACN.
Just saw the latest video regarding MCACN, you got to get to know these the 2 Mr Brother's over in Salem, Oregon.
What an outstanding, Unbelievable collection.

Great looking car. Wonder if he would let me drive it?.
Hi Big Charlie's Model Garage, If you get to know the Care Takers, they sometimes will let you drive there toys if you're careful with them. Hope you get the opportunity to get behind the wheel of many cars you enjoy, Lou
MY oh my. How big is his collection? How many have been featured on my car story?
Hi Heinrich, 28 cars, and some already on the Channel, and all will be on the Channel, so stay tuned......an another one is coming up later today! :-) Lou P.S. You gotta see this one too... th-cam.com/video/zMQHuEq2Vfs/w-d-xo.html

Love the color
Happy to read you enjoy the color of this car :-) Me too.
Yeah baby, a bloated Stang, back in the day. Looks great today tho! Grabber blue is okay. The new Mustangs I call it Pepto bismal blue. It looks great on his 1970. Holy liftover to trunk!!

well you wouldn't believe it - just stumbled across this vid - I own the car that followed this one down the assembly line - # 3131 - a dead ringer - colour - air cond - fold down seat - mine has tilt wheel fact am/fm - went to riverside california - so it had the calif gas tank vapour system installed at Kar Kraft prior to selling - kinda lame 3.00 gear because of the air conditioning - i put in a 3.25 pumpkin - bit more zippy now - they had to remove windshield to remove the 69 serial # plate - FBI oversaw the installation of a "new" 1970 number plate - same numbers except for the first number "9" to a "0" seeing mine was a calif car - no rust and luckily no hit - buildsheet under rear carpet -

Hi Mike Stang, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
The best looking Mustang made. Period.... And I'm the exact opposite of a Ford or a Mustang guy.
High praise :-)
Hey Lou its me...dont apologize it does have an AMX look to it, many of this era's cars had a generalized "coke-bottle" fuselage and long hood short deck design. to me and I know its blasphemous sacrilege, the front fascia even has a 69 Camaro look to it....kutgw.
Hey Charlotte, Thanks for viewing and sharing what you see, Lou
What an absolutely gorgeous car.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Love it!
NICE :-)
About time someone put the stripe on correctly. The stripe goes right thru the middle of the marker light. Good job. Wheres the manual choke?
Hi Dwight, Happy to read the stripe is right. Not sure where the manual choke is? Lou
@@loucostabile if you look on you tube. Most side stripes are placed to high. The reason for this is then the stripe is level. But it is not factory. I watched a fandom works episode where they took pictures of a original shelby. Then proceeded to install the stripes too high. What was the sense of documenting the original? I still have my gt 500 that I bought brand new.
Good looking car that needs radials if you want to drive it. Otherwise may as well put in a museum.

@@loucostabile love the mustangs. My friend has a 69 boss 429
11:59 Oil changes at 3,000 miles/3 months be damned!
Gotta stay on top of the maintenance.
The sequential taillights are identical to those of the '65 Thunderbird from 1968 to '70.

I just went to the Shelby Museum / business in Vegas. There are no 69-70 Mustangs there in the museum! They consider 1968 to be the last year that real Shelbys were made???
Thanks for viewing and sharing.
The last of the FE motors.
Thank you for sharing.
Lou what can I say other than I wish it were mine.
Hi Jon, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) You have great taste in cars, Lou
