Ford Mustang GT40 Fastback Prototype | Big Healey | Piper Cub J3C | Airplane & Car Show in Fresno CA

In Fresno, California, we find a 1 of 3 prototype Mustang built by Budd Anderson. This Fastback Ford has a 289 Cobra engine with GT40 heads, a GT40 inspired front end, Hurst wheels and shifter, and one of the first spoilers ever. We also check out an all steel, jade green '29 Ford truck with vintage speed equipment. Next is a '56 "Big Healey" capable of doing 100 MPH. With a Boss 302 Racing Engine, 500 HP and 2300 lbs., it's a great family car! Then we check out a fully restored '47 Piper Cub J3C upgraded to 90 HP and disc brakes. It's the iconic classic trainer airplane. Finally we look at a '70 Galaxie XL convertible with a very rare original paint scheme. 160 out of 850,000 had this paint!
Central Valley Aviation Association puts on the "Remember When" Classic Car Show and Plane Fly-In at the Fresno Chandler Executive Airport in Fresno, CA. Definitely check this one out!

It really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

that Mustang is beautiful

Wow... What a selection of cars to feature! This episode was a banger! 🤟

Best quarantine entertainment on the internet!!!

I totally agree! 🙂

It is very closed to the 1962 Ford Mustang Concept, I didn't know about that one and I luv it !

[@stevewhittier3170]

A car show at an airport next to a rail yard would be cool, the ultimate!

[@benklock1765]

Hi the Ford gt is one of my favorite cars

[@spencerharnedharned7211]

How have i liked mustangs for so long but never seen this before omg its beutiful

[@rickycollins4633]

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.

[@guyski666]

Surprised how much the 56 Healey looks like the Shelbey Cobra

[@paulcost6446]

Thats what the Cobra was based on.

[@duradim1]

Such a neat car.

[@stewartw.9151]

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.

[@ottodob]

I think Guy was making a joke

[@mexicanspec]

In 1970 the XL was its own model, which is why it doesn't say Galaxie anywhere on the car.

[@richardbarthelme6323]

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.

[@billhunt2605]

That galaxy XL is way cool, and I'm a mopar guy!!

[@robertbelote5273]

Im a ford guy that has mopar as number two on the list so its nice to see that kind of comment.

[@acrazyguy14]

Same here, beautiful car in a beautiful color combo for sure.

[@mccrackenphillip]

Its starting to look a bit to the Aussie cars

[@evalonious]

Nice episode! Stay healthy!

[@paulcost6446]

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.

[@rdhudon7469]

I like to eat pringles when I watch Dennis even though I'm a popcorn guy ........it seems appropriate .

[@deefisher5157]

i see the reasoning lol

[@mdtaylor2274]

How can you not mention the Nixon bumper sticker on the Ford Galaxy XL?? Awesome detail of the era 👍🏼

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Totally!

[@deefisher5157]

please inform me as i own a 67 galaxie and dont know about the bumper sticker

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@deefisher5157 IT's a political election sticker for a failed and kicked out president who broke laws and cost the US trillions in future damages by enacting the war on drugs against his own citizens... that sticker should be erased.

[@KyleKnoblauch]

That Big Healey! They basically converted it into a Cobra! 👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@MyClassicCarTV]

And then some!

[@z06doc86]

That Austin Healey is so Cobra like. At first glance, I thought it was a Cobra. Another great video Dennis.

[@Chunkerdunkers12]

That Austin Healey is awesome!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!

[@samcostanza]

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.

[@jwelchon2416]

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.

[@joshuavaldez8143]

Now you have a car show With vintage airplanes awesome

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Such beauties.Not enough time in the day to see them all,but well worth a try.TY all for sharing your toys.

"We want the biggest crowd possible" pre- corona statement

[@boxedfender4810]

Must have been before the Mustangs showed up also lol

[@TBird100636]

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. 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.

[@HiTechOilCo]

Is this Comedy Central for failed comedians, or what?

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.

[@calvincrews3885]

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

[@agoogler1887]

Good program Jim 🤓

[@shanek6582]

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.

Dates for the next show I'm up near Sacramento and wouldn't mind the drive down for this 👍

[@nefaurora]

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.

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIbOhmRugtd1sLc

[@HiTechOilCo]

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?

[@MyClassicCarTV]

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

any more info on that mustang? from what i can find short of this video it doesnt or ever existed.... curious to know more...

Not crazy about the tail lights on the GT-40/Stang but otherwise very nice.

I’d drive that

[@DavidJSmith-hl6kb]

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! 😇

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.
