The GT40 Ford Mustang is certainly a highlight for Dennis to showcase/talk about, from the extreme rarity of it and also the interesting history behind the car that is certainly something you’ll never see again.
I was kinda hoping to see a bit on that Checker Aerobus near the beginning. Those are really hard to find. I've only ever seen 2 and both were in junkyards.
Hi Dennis. You have a great channel. Thank you! :) A suggestion? In the introduction of your videos, it flips from car to car very quickly and it doesn't give the viewer enough time to look at, or appreciate a very nice car. Many times I find myself having to pause and rewind the video and then pause it again to check out a very nice car. Is there a way to slow this down so the viewer can look at the cars in your introduction for a longer period of time, even just a few seconds?
New Orleans Lakefront airport was also a WPA built terminal. If you go down to New Orleans, I suggest checking it out. It's just coming off a full restoration of the original facade and interior.
The designs of this '65 Ford Mustang GT40 Prototype car were sold to Fiberfab in California and Fiberfab sold the front end of this car and various other fiberglass add-ons through their Fiberfab company to the masses from the Late 1960's to the Early 1970's. Quite a few of these Fiberfab copies still exist today that look exactly like the original prototype Bud Anderson car being displayed here in this video.
Galaxies for model year 1970 received minor trim changes. A new ignition lock was located on the right side of the steering column. Model year 1970 was the last year for the XL,[4] but Galaxie 500 hardtop coupes were also available in both formal-roof and SportsRoof body styles. The optional 4-speed manual transmission, which was available on the 429 the year prior, was dropped for 1970.
Reminds me we used to have a show here in the outskirts of Melbourne Australia, at a local airport called wings and wheels, loved it had everything from classic cars, aircraft, farm machinery ect, loved it. Some reason has not been around for 15 years now.
I had a 1970 Ford convertible. Mine was was white with a blue hood. I think it was labeled an LTD. The XL's had buckets. The Galaxies did not have retractable lights. Mine had a 429 2BBL with AC. My cousin had a 69 LTD with a 429 4bbl. It would burn rubber all day long. Mine was not as hot.
Charleston Heston drives a 1970 Ford XL Convertible in Omega Man. The model was simply called Ford XL from 1967-70. It was called Ford Galaxy 500 XL from 1962-66. Here's Heston driving the Ford XL at the beginning of the trailer to Omega Man. th-cam.com/video/NUkU18MrBzU/w-d-xo.html
Dont know why my feelings got hurt when i saw the thumbs down , i mean cool to each there own but come on , if Mr Rogers was a car guy he would be Dennis Gage . Cool video as always.

The Cobra was based on the AC Ace, which was designed by John Tojeiro around 1953, and he based that on the 1949 Ferrari Barchetta after seeing those on race tracks.
We had a similar car show at Plymouth Municipal Airport years ago called Cars and Copters. Money went to charity, but unfortunately it got too big. Much bigger than this, cars, trucks, classics, exotics, import, modern muscle. Just the location being so close to residential, the number of cars and spectators, having to shut down part of the airport was what ended it for good.
Ford did it first and Chrysler perfected it for the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird both are Wing warriors until 1971 the Bud Anderson front end looks great
Sorry, not a mustang prototype. Nose was designed by corvette designer larry shinoda for the fiberfab kit car company in the san Francisco bay area. Look them up. Plenty of examples on the web.
I maybe mistaken, but I thought that friberglass front end was made by a Company called Fiberfab back in the 60's out of Santa Clara, Ca.!...Today I found a Company called VFN Fiberglass & Performance located in Addison, IL, there Phone # is 1-630-543-0232, that still makes a similar Fiberfab Mustang GT40 Front End! It will fit the 64 1/2 - 66 Mustang Front End, it weighs about 28 lbs and they are asking $1080.00 for it!...It can be made to Tilt Forward similar to the 65 Shelby Daytona Coupe's!...Hope this Helps someone who wants to change the look of their 64 1/2 - 66 Mustang!...I am Just Saying!...God Bless America! 😇
Aside from the Corona situation, they definitely don't want to go too much bigger than this. We had a similar car show at Plymouth Municipal Airport years ago called Cars and Copters.

@bandit the aussie cattle dog Don't assume I'm crying just because I complained about something that doesn't bother you. What is so difficult about flying your loud airplane higher than a few hundred feet up?

That Austin Healey is awesome!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!
I owned a 60 3000 healey. That healey was frickin' awesome!
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through these tough times..
That’s what we’re here for!
I had a Hotwheels Car like this once.
That Big Healey! They basically converted it into a Cobra! 👍🏻👍🏻😎
And then some!
1:24 Nice the year I was born the branch i served and my favorite of plane from WW2, the Boeing-Stearman Model 75. I screen shotted it.
That Austin Healey is so Cobra like. At first glance, I thought it was a Cobra. Another great video Dennis.
The Austin with the V8..😊👏🇬🇧
Thanks for your efforts Dennis, stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Mike!

You can play at half speed in the settings. It's actually pretty fun.

So that first fastback prototype inspired the design for the GR-1, uh?
Such beauties.Not enough time in the day to see them all,but well worth a try.TY all for sharing your toys.
Now you have a car show With vintage airplanes awesome
that Mustang is beautiful
Wow... What a selection of cars to feature! This episode was a banger! 🤟

I totally agree! 🙂

We do a car and plane run in Jordan Oregon. Its a great combination but we are out in a corn field. Very cool shows.
In 1970 the XL was its own model, which is why it doesn't say Galaxie anywhere on the car.
Beautiful competition yellow cougar eliminator.
Dont know why my feelings got hurt when i saw the thumbs down , i mean cool to each there own but come on , if Mr Rogers was a car guy he would be Dennis Gage . Cool video as always.
It really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
👍 Nice one...
Not crazy about the tail lights on the GT-40/Stang but otherwise very nice.
It is very closed to the 1962 Ford Mustang Concept, I didn't know about that one and I luv it !
I’d drive that
Good program Jim 🤓
A car show at an airport next to a rail yard would be cool, the ultimate!
Dates for the next show I'm up near Sacramento and wouldn't mind the drive down for this 👍
How can you not mention the Nixon bumper sticker on the Ford Galaxy XL?? Awesome detail of the era 👍🏼
Totally!
please inform me as i own a 67 galaxie and dont know about the bumper sticker

Surprised how much the 56 Healey looks like the Shelbey Cobra
Thats what the Cobra was based on.
Such a neat car.
The Cobra was based on the AC Ace, which was designed by John Tojeiro around 1953, and he based that on the 1949 Ferrari Barchetta after seeing those on race tracks.
I think Guy was making a joke
That Healy is sweet!!!!

I like to eat pringles when I watch Dennis even though I'm a popcorn guy ........it seems appropriate .
i see the reasoning lol
The stance and the nose on this Galaxy I've never seen anything like this, man I want one exactly like it with way more horses.
Ford did it first and Chrysler perfected it for the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird both are Wing warriors until 1971 the Bud Anderson front end looks great

They say about 50 were built before they deemed it not profitable.
That galaxy XL is way cool, and I'm a mopar guy!!
Im a ford guy that has mopar as number two on the list so its nice to see that kind of comment.
Same here, beautiful car in a beautiful color combo for sure.
Its starting to look a bit to the Aussie cars
The Stang looked like a bigger version of the 70's RX7..or Ferrari Daytona if you spent more.
That woman Sharon with the 104 must be a wonderful wife, not many guys get to keep their two seat muscle car when they get married and have kids.
Interesting the husband wasn't showing it with her. She was proud mama hen over that car for good reason.
No social distancing going on there!
Not back in Sept 2019!
@@MyClassicCarTV ahhh okay that would explain it. Great job with the video. When will you ever consider doing a show on your own personal collection?
I can't find a single image of that gt40 mustang
Mustang with GT40 styling... eeew. GT40 or Ford GT with Mustang styling... killer
That mustang looks a lot like a fiberfab mustang!. Same type front nose and had gto tail lights. Does anyone remember the fiberfabs!??
any more info on that mustang? from what i can find short of this video it doesnt or ever existed.... curious to know more...
I have a old model of that car from the 60s. Still in box, if I remember right it has a electric motor
😍Beautiful Austin-Healy😍

Is this Comedy Central for failed comedians, or what?
@14:52 Nixon / Agnew #futurama :)
That's awful little low scoop might fix but no you cant change perfection
What!? I’m one hour from Fresno?! Where was my invite !?!,?!?!?
disliked for the gt40 mustang, why would you do such a thing
👍💘💝🧡
So that's why Fresno has got a lot of Infections!!
This was shot Sept 2019 so probably not.🤔
Thank God that prototype mongrel breed Mustang never came to fruition it's bloody ugly!
Wow. I get to be the 1st comment.
Loud- ass planes. Can you fly higher so people don't have to hear you screwing around?
Hey, it was an airplane show too. Lots of folks came to see (and hear) them.
