"As far as I'm concerned 1973 was the last year of the Mustang" Bob Perkins

Bob Perkins, the #1 restorer, collector, historian, and Mustang Club of America Head Authenticity Judge picks out his top ten Mustang memorabilia from his collection.

[@Son_Of_A_Mechanic]

Thanks Jerry, never a bad day when you can see Bob's showroom of Mustang's and memorabilia.

[@thewriter2549]

And thanks to you, my friend

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Mustang II was the best Mustangs... small, cute, and a 'starter V8' w/ 4 speed...

[@Wooley689]

Incredible. This is the thing of doing since I was a kid and my brother had a 1968 Convertible with a 302.

[@keithphillips6111]

That guy really is a legend Jerry. Ive watched alot of things on him over the years and his knowledge is even more valuable than the stuff he owns. I hope you go thru those cars because im sure everything in that place is priceless. Good video Jerry . Happy New Year!

[@Foxbodyderrick]

What a cool collection of ford history

[@moparedtn]

As a Mopar guy, all I can say is *wow!* Not only is Bob a walking encyclopedia on Fords of that era - he actually *owns* a living example of most of it, too! Incredible - multiple *new* Mustangs as well. Sheesh... I sure hope the forseeable futures of both all his and *your* collections are arranged for, Jerry. Y'all have stuff that needs preserved in infinity! Thanks for sharing, my friend. - Ed on the Ridge

[@thewriter2549]

Thanks, Ed we plan to cover a lot all we can of this collection because it is in my opinion the greatest in the world for Mustangs and memorabilia and parts and the owner having the expertise that he has as a historian and the head authenticity judge of the Mustang of America so while it’s intact, we need to document everything

[@jordanloeffler4879]

Been waiting for a video on his collection. Awesome!

[@428eliminator3]

This was awesome 👌 Bob's smile about that 52 mile Mach1 saying ..well you gotta have one car!

[@stephenhausheer8206]

Excellent clip Jerry....loved the new Mustang with window stickers and 52 original miles on the odometer!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Wow 😮a room filled with holy grail level goodness

[@is3180]

Wow what a beautiful museum.....👌

[@Leslie537]

Beautiful!

[@pofomoco2]

Another incredible and "real" look into a level of Mustang knowledge and expertise that many of us can only dream about achieving. Thanks for knocking it out of the park again! The generations of enthusiasts that love these cars due to our own personal experiences and now the nostalgia that takes us back... we all want a glimpse back to the glory days. And I know our numbers are declining so I hope and pray that a segment of the younger generation begin to carry this torch forward. This video is a big part of that hope! Keep 'em coming Jerry!!!

[@thewriter2549]

I will thanks

[@stevenFL8245]

I'm happy that you shared the video. I would never see these items in real life. Very cool, nostalgic stuff! 🙂🙂

[@triplehelper6944]

Damn nice collection

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Unbelievable automobilia collection and Mustang collection, wow !

[@kylevantassel7259]

Bob is truley one of a kind himself . He has managed to make himself just as relevant to mustang history as the Mustang is to automotive history. And Bob , im right there with you buddy , I catch heat for saying it but the Mustang ended in 73 . Everything after was just Ford trying to make a buck on the backs of those cars. I really really hope that if anything ever happens to Bob , and its gonna happen to all of us one day . That his collection stays in tact and stays relevant to him and doesnt just get thrown in with some other rich guys stuff . It should always remain the Bob Perkins collection .

[@thewriter2549]

My feelings exactly and to the extent that I hope if Bob does sell some that it doesn’t go in there that it goes in one place and remains the Bob Perkins collection

[@larryr.burgess3318]

Well Kyle you could say that the muscle car era was over as well, except for a few exceptions! 1974 SD 455 Trans Am to name one. Low HP but a beast all out 😆

[@frankcarchedi737]

Great collection

[@saxonstangsetc3201]

Love the Mach 1 ❤

[@JohnChrysostom101]

Outtagious collection wow!

[@williamlewis7846]

Great stuff!!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Those cars gave me chills Just proves there's still amazing stuff just put away waiting 😮

[@Onteo1]

As the owner of a 1973 Mach 1 for 48 years, I whole heartedly agree with Mr Perkins. 😊

[@chrismathes3647]

This collections absolutely amazing. But as a 45-year-old Mustang nut 🥜 I gotta admit. I'd love to have this with everything from 74 on! The Foxbody is the closest to my heart. Started with Hertz Shelbys but when you're a Mustang guy it's forever

[@Dave_Boyer]

The hand is holding a crystal ball, forecasting “there’s a Ford, in your future” is what I always thought

[@stacyhazelwood4033]

Wow, that was a cool video. You should do a video showing all his cars in that building. That is amazing.

[@thewriter2549]

We will

[@jeromes58]

When I turned 16 years old, I bought from my older brothers 64 1/2 Mustang coupe. During my ownership of that car, I became friends with the parts department manager. one day when I was buying a part he came out from the back and dropped on the counter an original shop manual and something I’ve never seen before and never seen again was a new old stock in the box illuminated running Mustang that would have replaced the emblem in the grill. Sad to say that when I left for college and came home the first time I found that my mother had cleaned out my room and threw it all out. Have either of y’all seen an illuminated Mustang for the front grill?

[@trenawawrzyniak4397]

Oh wow a whole museum full of everything dedicated to the love of Mustang's. Thanks Mr.Heasley The black 67 Mustang n the black 66 . I am drooling 🤪❤

[@MariaLunas-f8j]

Your videos are always a high standard of quality on KZbin. Thank you for your work!🐃🐈🟠

[@PhilipKicelemos]

71 - 73 were the biggest . Yet the style was popular. In the look. It had.

[@87GrandNational]

Great video, Jerry!

[@thewriter2549]

Thanks

[@barbmelle3136]

What a great collection. I am glad you can display it so well. I agree with the Pinto Chassis mustangs being disappointing, , but in 2005 we got our Mustangs back.

[@donaldcurtis9229]

I had a 73 Mustang Mach 1 beautiful car Pennsylvania Winters took care of it

[@marcbee1234]

I have a friend with a 73 Mustang Mach 1, 100% rust free since new, all factory original paint since new, same color as the 69 in this video!!!

[@MrDejast]

As a life long Chevy guy, I approve of this video.

[@mmartin2924]

"Total Elegance for your new Ford... ...with lasting beauty of stainless steel covers". Did anyone else see that? Good stuff.

[@CorgiConnect]

IMO, first generation Mustang stopped at 1970, '71 - '73 was too big and too much like a personal luxury car, almost pushing into Thunderbird territory, but they have their place in peoples hearts. No matter what people think, the Mustang II kept the vibe going during a tough time, and I appreciate them for what they are. Fox body and newer were all variations on the theme that will always have their place.

[@docbhowe]

I couldn't I agree with you more. I was never a fan of the 1971 through 1973 body style. To me it was just too much of a large barge. That body style lost the stylist accused of the earlier generation cars. Well I know that they have their place I am much more of a fan of the Mustang 2 body style. It at least harkened back to the original style.

[@AlvinUselton]

WOW. all I can say is WOW; WOW speechless 😮

[@K1Racer.]

Do you have a whole video of the Ohio George Mustang of Bob Perkins ???

[@thewriter2549]

Not yet

[@K1Racer.]

@@thewriter2549 Is it coming

[@dougjustdoug6391]

Bob said that there were three low mileage Mustangs that came out of that dealership (collection) and you showed us two of them, does he have the 1967 fastback that was mentioned as well?

[@scottrasmussen8258]

I believe that 1967 Ford Mustang is in the Brother's Collection. It was a special order paint car in the color of Lilac for the owner's wife.

[@rgs4x]

I just saw a new in the crate Boss 302 motor for sale on FBMP for $50,000! I worked at a Ford dealer (parts dept) in the late 70's. We threw a lot of those promotional displays in the dumpster.

[@FiteTheGoodFight]

Nice!! I'd hoped he would mention those Autolite in-line carbs and Cross-Boss intakes. My dad had owned and raced those back in the early seventies.

[@MrPappysCobra]

You need to go to Jacky Jones museum.

[@justinbgraf7565]

Hi Mr Perkins. From Justin and Bob Graf. We had 1970 Shelby with 6922 miles.

[@danmyers9372]

Well cool Mustangs actually ended in 1970. I draw the line prior to the release of the fugly ‘71 land barge.

[@davesimms5]

You ever drive a 2007 gt you’d change your mind

[@JamesO-q4q]

Bob's got taste in the cars he has but a pink hoody from Barry the bandits gay nightclub takes the cake

[@davidmaggard9403]

Jerry you x right not only the mustang.all the big 3s cars iv always thought that .great video as always jerry .

[@Jeet_Kune_Do_And_Carate]

To me it was 1970!❤😂

[@pofomoco2]

100%

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Wow,i died n went to heaven ford heaven 🙏

[@432b86ed]

OK, no excuses for the dead clocks and missing mechanisms in those displays! :) Great collection of unobtaniums there.

[@meetjohndoe1078]

good video

[@oceania2385]

Get some cooler running LEDs in that sign. The heat from old bulbs kills the plastics. Great stuff btw !!

[@kongswethai3964]

impressing

[@brianmartin414]

The mustang ii was the only reason later mustangs exist. As for me,the 71-73 mustang is a land yacht. I think the first gen actually ended in 1970. We're fond of the year that goes with our youth.

[@SILVERHORSEGARAGE]

Cool, that means more Mustang II for the cool people.

[@buckshot6481]

You're correct.

[@HR-rt9nh]

AMEN !

[@GTIFabric]

1982 was peak mustang

[@thomaswoitekaitis8977]

I feel the same way except its 69. 70 had goofy headlight arrangement. 71-73 have horrific blindspots. After restoring several different years, 71-73 are the worst for working room as well.

[@Odin33356]

The wannabe heroes said I had too much stuff when they blew my house up 😢💔

[@Mike-s2u5r]

Poor ol bob still does not have the blue white white interior A code 4 speed car that starts with a 4 vin code

[@mickeyryder51]

I Agree

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

1970

[@joea9608]

They made a Mustang after 1970? Never heard of it..

[@HDR20]

I agree and IMO mustang didn't come back until 1994 with the sn95.

[@larryr.burgess3318]

Past 70 the only decent Mustang is Boss 351 and Mach 1’s. Of course late model Shelby’s and specialty model acceptable in discussions 👍

[@seakoko]

Ford’s management worked best when they stopped hogging the road.

[@OsbornTramain]

The last year of the mustang was 1966 and then the last year of Chevy was 1982....the last year of Studebaker was 1932....in my opinion.........in my opinion, Oldsmobile never existed and is just a figment of your imagination. I'm an expert on everything so my opinion is correct.

[@N-Scale]

Bob , You are totally Wrong

[@wgterry73ify]

As far as I am concerned the 71-78 mustang doesn't exist. I am a fan of the fox body mustang (its just different than the 64 1/2-70) I'm biased as my first car was a 79' mustang

[@camt]

Yea for me it’s 64 1/2 to 69 but basically same thing.

[@UncleRobsGarage]

I won’t agree with that 73 really 71 on up was like a Torino size. It was no longer a Mustang in my book.

[@josephlalock8378]

this place would be great, if they weren't ford products😂

[@johncoleman2495]

It's 70 and older for me....the fat mustangs are just as bad as mustang II's

Mustang II really sucked !!!
