[@MrJett1971]

One of the best sounding cars out there. Gawd, it’s gorgeous…

[@michaelhansen5974]

... in the late 80s my old GT 350 R "repli-car" was featured on Dave Buck Ford's showroom floor in Richmond, BC ...!!! Mike

Man, that is a badass car. And what a sound it makes.

[@BrewBlaster]

Gotta Love that sound!!

[@krzysztofwarcho5939]

Oh yeah!

[@gocubsgo7609]

that car is gorgeous.

[@ianfosbrook8406]

awesome... just pure awesome..

[@michaelclarke9488]

Very cool car! Love seeing a 'real deal' race car brought back to its glory days.

[@goesfastandfar]

Stunning car with amazing heritage. Appears to have a '66 grille....

[@KeithIves-xs2yq]

The later built r models called the '66 r models all came from Shelby with a '66 Mustang grille.

[@patriotjon8535]

I'm surprised he didn't mention the gap at the roof line at the rear windshield. When racing this model, They found that air pressure would build up in the rear of the car, almost acting like a parachute, slowing it down. they put the gap there to allow air to flow out, to alleviate this problem.

[@Loulovesspeed]

It also happened to cool the hot interior in racing.

[@denniswashburn9662]

@@Loulovesspeed THE REAR GLASS ALSO WOULD LIFT AND COULD POP OUT!

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@denniswashburn9662 - That's why the car had metal straps over the outside of the rear window, to keep it from blowing out at high speed.

[@michaelhansen5974]

... also the stripes are flaired ,wider at the center of the roof than the front of the hood and trunk , the visual railroad effect was eliminated ...! ... top A-arms were raised and set back for better control ... not to forget the export brace and Montecarlo bar ...!!!

my dream car

[@jeremythompson9895]

What a sick car. 65 gt350 is one of my favorite Stangs. I'm typically a Mopar guy when it comes to muscle cars but wouldn't kick any of them outta my garage

[@michaelhansen5974]

... it's gotta 66 grill ...!?

[@tomnekuda3818]

There is not one shred of doubt what this car is about......race.

[@DecadesCars]

Awesome video Kevin. We're two young guys trying to keep the muscle car passion alive on our channel and we're from Vancouver B.C. just like it says on this beautiful gt350r! Pretty cool didn't know Brown Bros Ford had this heritage

[@snipehawkyt1636]

Decades Cars great channel! Nice to see guys daily driving muscle cars and working on them

[@michaelhansen5974]

[@h60memo]

Brown Bros Ford still in business.

[@phoenixblack1220]

I am I bit confused. The car has a 66 grill and 1966 tape stripes on the side. This car is a 65?

[@1TEAMSHELBY]

A few faux pas in this vid. there were 36 r-models made. there were no R-coupes ever built. no plexiglass side windows (voice over) R- model had aluminum panels like on this car. also the originals r-models came with 15x7 magnesium wheels. good luck getting a set of those today!

[@jayczyzyk9707]

Nice video

[@Sacapuntas69]

Did Shelby use 66 grills prior to the regular Mustang getting them?

[@100thomasmagnum]

WOW!

[@0453steve]

actually, there were 36 originally built in 65

[@jayf429]

I actually think it was 37 because on the national registry for the 50th Anniversary Ford made 37 GT350Rs for 2015, because they are a very heritage oriented company.

[@0453steve]

@@jayf429 Nope, just 36. look up original venice crew gt 350 competition model. Shelby never called them "R".

[@jayf429]

@@0453steve doesn’t matter to me because my 2018 5.0 would rip that car a new one. Plus I don’t care about collectibility because are car was meant to be driven.

Fucking stellar.

NICE, a 65 289/4speed squareback would do me 👍👍👍👍BOOOOOOOOOO Chev 🤣🤣

[@Gasoline66]

need one of these lol

[@happyfreeliferc]

Big $$$

[@Roosterjello]

1:18 coupes ?

[@artvandelay837]

Did anyone actually refer to them back in the 60's as the gt 350r? Weren't they called "R model"

[@michaelhansen5974]

... the car you feature is a 66 ...!!!

[@gocubsgo7609]

and to think Shelby originally approached Chevy but they turned him down so he went to Ford. imagine what could've been.

[@Loulovesspeed]

You're obviously referring to the Cobra powerplant. It was destined to be "powered by Ford" and I for one am damn glad it was!

[@branon6565]

Sherman Potter ....yeah, a lot of overrated piles of Garbage Motors junk with Shelby's name on em broke down on the side of some road somewhere....
