Great review Karl! I got to drive a '66 Convertible and a '67 GT500 with Pablo in LA a few months ago and these cars are amazing! Prices are insanely high, but, the quality and experience is actually worth the price and I'm putting in an order for '67 GT500 in 2025! The hard part is deciding on all the options, paint colors and vast array of leather interiors. I'm in North County, so, hope to see you around in SD! Tim
Thanks for the feedback, and congrats on getting a car on order! They're really fabulous -- the best of our rose-colored memories brought to life in a modern car -- without any of the harsh realities of the original 1960s technology. I was set on a 1968 GT500KR for years...but having that basic GT Fastback with the clean body lines and Torque Thrust wheels has me totally re-thinking what I want. Good problem to have -- too many great options! Would like to see yours when it arrives.
I know the concept has been beaten to death 100x over, but even as a huge Audi guy, I will always want a fastback restomod. Nothing Eleanor-like level of crazy, just something super clean with an oem+ look like this. I love it 👍
100% agree. I already knew these cars were cool, but the clean styling really stood out in a sea of modern cars. EVERYONE loved this car as we drove it around Orange County and North San Diego County. Truly timeless styling.
@ Yes because until now I never found any uploaded testimonial/review by their own customer.. I don't mean to making bad suggestions but it would be good to see comparisons between their cobra jet engine and the standard one, even though people like me who admires their creation but never know when will we get one in life.
Great review! Im actually going to test drive one this month. Let me ask you this, did you notice any exhaust smell with the windows down. Ive got old cars and i hate smelling like exhaust after driving
Good question. I did not notice any exhaust smell. However, the low location of the gas filler (centered between the taillights) made it tricky to fill it up without spilling fuel. So I did smell some gas for a few minutes after fill ups (mostly on my own hands), but otherwise no bad odors.
@@KarlBrauerCarsWe need to seize the current opportunity to free up the regs. No consumer buys a low volume Caterham, Ariel, Radical, Ultima, Morgan, Singer or Revology and expects modern Camry-level safety features. The UK has had this "Cottage Industry" tradition, and as a result, produced generations of car engineers with cutting edge tech benefitting all society. It's a big reason most F1 constructors are UK based.
The Borla exhaust on this one, is it the standard Revology Borla offering or is it the Attak version? I like how this one sounds. Thanks for putting this through its paces.
According to the order sheet this car had the standard Borla exhaust. If you go on Revology's site you can spec out cars with a more aggressive Borla exhaust system, which I'm now curious to hear. Planing to do another test of something like the GT500KR version, with the 710 hp engine and that more aggressive exhaust system, in the future.
9 Inch rear end gear whine? Really? Non-issue to me. If I want quiet I would buy a Tesla. Much easier to change gears (removable 3rd member) with the 9 Inch. A 9 Inch with IRS would be the ultimate with this beautiful machine.
@@axe2grind244 Agreed -- it's why I've never been a fan of those cars. The $250,000+ for a Revology Mustang isn't cheap, but $1 million for a Singer strikes me as pure greed. The Revology cars are BRAND NEW from the ground up, and thoroughly re-engineered and build on an assembly line. Three times their cost for a modified 911 chassis? Doesn't work for me.
For sure - on one level it seems crazy to spend that kind of money on a 55-year-old car. On the other hand…I find myself wondering how I can buy one. They’re fabulous.
I hear you. It was tough for me to conceive when I first looked at the site. Now that I've driven the car I can see what you're paying for. It's still A LOT of money for a 1960s car, but the degree of refinement, technology, and capability really is what every original Mustang/muscle car fan dreams about. If you have the means (and Revology's production rate and backlog of orders suggest plenty of folks do), driving these cars is a truly magical experience. And people LOVE them. I have owned two Ford GTs (a 2005 and a 2019), and I've had lots of exotic cars on loan. The degree of interest and genuine happiness this car caused was unprecedented in my experience.
When you compare the price of an original, matching number 68 in minth condition. The 266k price tag is a steal… without the shitty driving experience.
Some of that probably goes back to the blue oval for licensing. It'd be cool to see one of these around the 100k mark. That's still 2x the cost of a nice new Mustang GT.

Nice to see a Revology being driven spiritedly. Rvolology demos are always sedate, which is understandable.
I was wavering about driving it like that, and documenting it on video, but the car seemed to demand it. And was so good at it!
Awesome and informative video. Appreciate that you put the car through its paces.
Thanks! Its capabilities really bagged to be used...once I wrapped my brain around how it could look like a 1968 car and perform like a 2025 model.

Fantastic cars. I do wonder if that steering wheel would fit my 2011 GT? I have been looking for one and almost to the point of making my own.
That would be a cool upgrade. I’m sure it can be done, just a matter of what it takes engineering wise.
finally somebody other than Tom who review the revology mustang.. nice video would you make another one with their product?
I would happily produce another video on their cars. Maybe a GT500KR with the more powerful engine this time. 😁

@@dony8332 A genuine comparison test between two of the cars, maybe an automatic 460 hp engine and manual 710 hp version, would be very cool… 🤔
@ yes sir appreciate it, and as usual putting a 0-60 miles test will definitely exciting to watch
JJZ 109 patch is a nice, subtle call out 😎👍
Thanks! I wondered who might notice.
Yup. They are amazing. The engines too. And they can be infinitely customized.
The mind kinda reels at what additional mods might be added to such a strong starting point...

@@KarlBrauerCars Thanks! That's good info. It's the small things like this that really let you know what it's like to live with a car.
OMG this is my new dream car. How can they produce a new car w/o airbags though?
As a small, low-volume manufacturer I think they are exempt from having to pass NHTSA safety standards.

Sweet!
How do you register Revology cars?
You can register Revology Cars in any state. They register as their original production model year, meaning a 1965-1968 Ford Mustang.
Oh, Hell Ya.
Exactly!

Hand made cars are expensive. Period. Just matters what hand made car you want to spend your 1/4 million $ on.
Good way to look at it.
68 fast back the 76 vet 435 hp 6:16
I’ve always wanted a Singer 911 since I first saw one, but that $1M price tag is about 95% more than I can afford.

@@KarlBrauerCars more like $300,000+ for any Revology Mustang
300k dream

Finaly...
266k?
Even if I was worth 50mil, no way in hell!
Great cars 75 I remember real cars❤ not the over priced new junk that all looks the same😮 keep up the tradition guy's thanks 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching it drive around Carlsbad during car-to-car filming was like watching a gem among a bunch of rocks.
Nice car, but at 266.000?...no thanks

@@MikeM-u9x At $100,000 I'd be buying one of these right now. Still thinking about it at $300,000, but can't make it work in the near term.
'66 is a much better looking car, you're making a mistake.
To each their own. I think 1968 is much better looking than 1966.
