My Dad had one. We had 3 cars. A 67 Wilcat. 64 Thunderbird and 67 Yenko Stinger. People would ask him if it were 175 HP and he say something like "185 at the wheels." Would that be a Stage II or III? Missouri didn't enforce anything and may not have been stock. I only remember blue stripes on white and no back seat...and faster than the Wildcat.

When I was a teenager, my family went to visit my aunt and uncle. My cousin and I were in his room hanging out, when my dad and uncle came upstairs and asked if we'd like to take a ride in my uncle's Charger. My cousin and I were like naw, we don't want to ride in some car, we're playing Nintendo. Fast forward several years and I've become a car guy. I finally realize what a f***ing idiot I had been. My uncle's Charger is a 1967, 30k original mile, Hemi 4-speed car that he bought when it was just a lightly-used car in 1968 and has pampered ever since. Nowadays whenever I get asked if I want to take a ride in the Charger, my answer has definitely changed lol.

Gearhead Lounge you are the GOAT! Best informative video on the original Carrol Shelby Mustangs of all time ! Best narration and back round music to boot! Brought tears to my eyes reminding of my time growing up in those days. America at its best ! I still have my 1967 Fastback, but it is not a SHELBY.....

My late husband bought one a good 10 years ago. He has been gone 6 years and just today, Father's Day 2024, I took the stool out and gave it a good bath and it's now residing inside the house. I don't need it out in the garage anymore because when I use his scroll saw or the band or chop saw, it's just for basic cuts and the little stool isn't tall enough for this arthritic 73 year old widow. But I will use it inside as a sort of kneeling bench, helping me to get up and down to get chores done down on or near the floor. Plus, I love the black and red colors and the magnetic tool tray for when I need to carry around screwdrivers and nails and screws. It's a welcome little household addition and my cats like to sit on it as well. I did notice that the pneumatic part isn't adjusting up and down anymore but I bet I can tweak that and get it working again. Thanks for the video...I had forgotten how it was put together.

This video was very well crafted, narrated, and put together. I remember over the course of last year I was searching for my dream car (Dodge Challenger RT) during the last call and I would ultimately come back to this video over and over again just for fun as well as for comfort. I succeeded my mission last July (2023) and I must say this video really fueled my inspiration even more along the way. To this very day I still watch it and any content you put out I ultimately vow to support, even the NBA stuff which is also another one of my passions. Thank you for your continuous inspiration and knowledge. Looking forward to all of your work of the future. 👑 Thank you !

Okay so.. the hemispherical combustion chamber has been around for ages.. even the Knight sleeve valve engine used a “hemi” chamber.. Chrysler trademarked a marketing term. Not to belittle the Chrysler product in its form.. But making the all to-do about the chamber shape really isn’t the magic behind it.. there’s a lot more to this picture.

I wish nascar had not banned those ohc engines. They should have just lowered CID to slow things down. Much R&D/refinement was lost for 30 years. That technology is what made it possible to still make power and still satisfy the EPA and get efficiency. I know it came from the likes of Merlin and the GAA Ford in WWII. But refinement made it really work.

I remember picking up my car from impound in the late 80s. There was a white 87 Turbo T with burgundy interior SITTING ON THE GROUND WITH NO WHEELS! No hood. I remember staring at the motor wonder what the fuck I was looking at. Been in love with them ever since. A couple years later I found one on a used car lot for $7000. It was sitting next to a hot air Grand National with a LEATHER interior for $12000. The salesman told me the T was cheaper because "nobody knows about these." He said nobody wanted it but everybody that stopped wanted the GN. He was driving the T home every night as a personal car until he sold it. Then he started bragging about all the cars he beat in it. He actually let me drive it because back then nobody would let you drive them if they were on a lot. Anyway the T was a fuckin beast and I got it for 7k! Wish I still had it.
