In high school my friend owned a big old 71 Mustang. We used to sit in the parking lot during lunch and listen to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. I remember that car being so immensely huge on the inside but the rear window was almost impossible to see anything out of (his had louvers). Such a sweet car though! Miss those days.

[@marvin5620]

Same here. my buddy had a 70 Mustang Mach 1 in high school and I had 70 Dodge Challenger R/T. Great times un both those cars.

[@ianmangham4570]

Awesome times

Before standardisation of testing manufacturers used to quote horsepower with the engine running on a bench with no auxiliaries and a total loss water system. I wouldn't be surprised of it never made the quoted power output.

[@grahamjohnson7412]

Under-reporting horsepower for insurance reasons was pretty common with muscle cars. GM in particular had an internal prohibition against more than one advertised horsepower for every ten pounds of curb weight except for the Corvette. There are quite a few late 60's Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles with suspiciously low advertised horsepower.

Good show! Mack One!!!

[@ecmor282]

Good job!!!!

[@Andybarney555]

American muscle and word. "Handling" is hilarious!!

[@TheGeorgeLara]

we're talking about a 52 year old straight line car..... pretty sure camaros, a cheap muscle car out performs any mclaren on a circuit.

[@jarrodfrankum]

Not so sure I learned how to replace the suspension

[@joepawling4735]

I did the same suspension set up 15 years ago. 1” lower 600lb coils, a larger sway bar. The front end stop rising up when going on the freeway round about. Would going to a coil over setup improve it that much more? Looking at Chris Alston’s coil over and quad link rear suspension

[@realLestarte]

Well, would have been nice not to fade out so quickly and not being able to see more reactions of you guys. That's what I always loved about WD! Not only the repairing instructions...

[@solarflare1008]

I would defenetly up grade that sorry for excuse factory suspension and brakes.

[@roberthart9886]

yes, but this is a FLIP, not a keeper

[@leenevin8451]

Why’s it got incorrect carb jets?

[@abelmartins7583]

I see it starts as a 73 and ends up as a 71. Notice the front grille😂

[@benrage5373]

The reason it handles like a dog is that iron gurder for rear suspension 😅

[@grahamrsparker]

Are yous doing any new wheeler dealers shows??

[@gavinwyllie7855]

There is a new Wheeler Dealer series coming with a new mechanic too.

[@grahamrsparker]

@@gavinwyllie7855 who is the new mechanic ?

[@railtrolley]

0:33 wondering about that missing lower cover for the flywheel.

[@ianmangham4570]

Go on Ant my son

[@roberthart9886]

why would anyone give this a thumbs down???

[@nickvanderheijden5574]

I did, because they ruined it with those 17” wheels and low profile tyres. 😖

[@Apexlive-EMD]

I recently replaced my leads and spark plugs 😂😅🥞into my truck

[@robertstewart3086]

Way to miss an opportunity to educate your viewers on how IMPORTANT it is to pay attention to #1 positioning on both the distributor and the timing mark. Which will save a lot of headache when dropping in the new distributor ! Yes Clevelands love timing, but you also failed to mention that you can destroy an engine with too much timing and low grade fuel !

[@johna.4334]

"Mack 1"? Say what???!!!

[@grahamrsparker]

Who is the better mechanic,ant or edd????

[@ThtGSXRguy]

Edd!! He would have never slipped up 2.32 🤣

[@grahamrsparker]

@@ThtGSXRguy ooow I couldn't chose between them,,ant is a better fabricater I think but edd never gives up

[@ps36081]

I wonder if all the TV mechanics like Ed, Ant, Fuzz got together on one project would it be the perfect car or would they argue with eachother on how to get the job done?

[@rhys180606]

Ant sorry can't get away with him

[@nickvanderheijden5574]

They completely fukced up the car with those horrible 17” wheels. 🤬 The Stang was awesome, right up to the point where they came up with those terrible wheels and low profile tyres. Big mistake 😫

[@NowakowskiRobert1969]

[@rhys180606]

Sorry . A punch in the face
