[@steviejmes]

Don’t take this as an insult, just some constructive criticism. Cut the music. We want to hear the car, the owner/build, and Shawn. Use it for transitions, sure, but put an exponential fade on that puppy and bring it down to zero at the first increase of RPM.

[@ssoffshore5111]

I'll go one further, turn it DOWN! I'm not a fan of music in videos, especially when it massively detracts from the focus subject, but I can't stand it when the audio isn't leveled and the music blows your ears out. If you're going to use music, level the audio!

[@juanmoorethyme3119]

[@supermanfun-uy7ug]

I agree cut the music

[@kylewashington5567]

It's called a montage,it builds momentum in some cases,and in others it's a dud.

[@OurnameisLegion66]

It's an American thing they do it on everything.

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

That GT40 is a thing of beauty. You'd never believe the design is almost 60 years in the making.

[@bryanluntz1603]

Sure is good lookin'

[@danmyers9372]

Absolutely timeless design.

[@davidgalea6113]

That's because it was designed by the brits The ford gt is based on the Lola mk6, Ford bought the design from the British car manufacturer called Lola cars.

[@thetheatreorgan168]

exactly! even if it was designed 30 to 40 years later it would have still been a modern design!

[@jamescalhoun3936]

A win win in the win department. I own a true Shebly car 1966 Gt350 Red with white racing stripes 4 speed car with only original 62,000 miles . Carrol Shebly the man

[@sigmann66]

Wow, looks so much better than modern cars. Most beautiful car ever made in my humble opinion.

[@sergiooconitrillo5082]

Kinda car so ahead in time ... no words .. simply an american masterpiece

[@briankinnear7461]

The GT40 is an historic design and just beautiful car. This one look gorgeous and sounds and looks like a superb street car, sight angles notwithstanding. Thanks for sharing this one. Be safe and stay well.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m with you all the way here. Timeless design. It’ll always look good

[@beaches2mountains230]

LOVE THE SOLID COLOR ! THESE CARS WERE SO AHEAD OF THEIR TIME ! STILL LOOKS CRAZY EVEN ALL THIS TIME AFTER PRODUCTION.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

That 4 valve in the 08 GT500 was fun as well. they sound the same. Mine was long tubes, H pipe, no cats, and Flowmaster outlaws. VMP gen 2. 2.3TVS.

[@marksiegel374]

My opinion but Ford is King of true Racing heritage, Iove that Car...Great video. .

[@drdesmo8489]

I’ll always love superformance cars. They are seriously cars of insane history and pedigree, might not be the few originals around, but built the way you want, fully custom to you wants and needs 👊🏻🤘🏼 Killer video Shawn, you are rolling along very nicely on the videos, keep up the hard work 🙏

[@gavinsnyder9028]

I can't wait for you get one of these cars like the ones you review Shawn. You deserve it bro. Top notch content. I'm 20 and I wish more kids my age would appreciate the beauty of these old cars. Truly unlike anything you see today. I really want a 69 Camaro. That's gonna be my goal to get one some day. I'd do either a 572 big block with a Tremec T56 or a Built LT4 with a 10 Speed Automatic. I'd definitely take her to gabes custom interiors too. Not too many people my age are into old cars mostly JDM and other modern stuff. I love new cars but these old schools are so unique and beautiful. Truly timeless works of art.

[@barrycuda3769]

You've got good taste in cars ' work on getting your Camaro ' when others your age see what you're driving ' they might be influenced into getting something old and cool themselves.

[@drownthepoor]

Most of them have become high end street rods or race cars. i know a guy with a street-legal all original perfect condition '69 and he valued it at 50 grand 10 years ago. He's actually got about 5 others in various conditions and degrees of being complete cars. Also a 67 and a few 68's. My father has a 71 Nova that he's owned since he was 15. It's street legal, but it was a drag car with nitrous/big block. Now it's got a small block and a supercharger.

[@barrycuda3769]

@@drownthepoor I've wondered about the situation with the reproduction body shells that you can get now ' for example you can get a repro tri five chevy body 'or a Mustang ' Camaro 'Chevelle ' Bronco ' Challenger ect ' ( as well as every other part you need to make it fully restored) but say you had a wrecked or rusted out original and as far as the body is concerned your'e taking the original ID numbers and putting them on something new 'is that legal? Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz said it's an offence to take tag's off one car and put them on another . I dont know what the rules are in America ' and god knows what they might be in New Zealand.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m working on it…really working on it! I’d love having more people your age understand the beauty of the classics built right

[@reggiehammond6508]

Your thumbnail looks funny ass hell!

[@allwheeldrive]

Among all the other incredible things about this car, what's really attractive is it's configured for real-world daily driving! Yeah, I'd take this anywhere, any time. Shawn, you'd be right behind me in line with that checkbook! Growing up in Detroit, I was 9 years old in 66. For me, there was nothing more impactful than the GT40. One of my friend's dad, a Ford engineer, actually built one from scratch in his garage and we literally could hear it fire up from ten blocks away. Just epic. Everything, just epic. Thanks for this!

[@seanrosedotcom]

I am in love with that car too. It's incredible.

[@Davivd2]

Man hats off to the fabricator that crafted that exhaust. That takes a lot of effort and skill to craft metal pipes into that many curves, weld them, and have it all looking smooth and natural.

[@supercarsandsuperfoods5779]

Done by David Borla himself.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

That car is a TRUE work of art!

[@kenxiong6830]

Thanks Shawn for another amazing video!!! You can never have too much GT40 🇺🇸 🇫🇷

[@scratchcrafter]

Looks like my Lakeforest neighborhood! My father-in-law has the GT-40 as well with the Gulf 6 graphics that he purchased from Superformance. He goes to so many shows and people just love his car!

[@supercarsandsuperfoods5779]

Nice job guys!!! Can't wait to see who the next lucky owner will be!

I'm a big fan of these cars as well and I'm lucky enough to visit their showroom and oh my gosh it was a lot to take in. Thanks for bringing us these great videos! May I suggest a visit to Pete Brock and his studio for some insight and to look at his cars?

Perfection right there, you can keep all your fussy lambos and ferraris , I'll take that hands down

Same for me

the GT40's design could have literally been built 30 to 40 years later and it would still have looked modern.

[@masoncameron6443]

Absolutely stunning

[@1cavscout160]

Great video! I own a Superformance MKIII with a Roush 427R and it's a blast to drive. I have also been in Lance's GT40 and I would love to put one in my garage next to the MKIII. Maybe someday...

Same for me!

[@DWH300]

The Ford GT is remarkable and timeless. I miss seeing them competing in IMSA. I'm hoping some owners of the final 67 copies of the GT IV (40) use their 800 horsepower as intended.

[@chrislee6691]

I’m with you Shawn this one is my favorites so far, love it! If I had the money would def build one similar to this. P.s. there is more grace for falling in love with someone else’s car if it’s for sale, and I def can’t fault you on this one. Keep ‘em coming man, love love love the videos.
