The Forgotten Cars of Carroll Shelby: LIVE - Past Gas #56

[@The1971heavychevy]

I worked for Carroll during the Dodge days in the Whittier shop and got to help finish the final assembly of some of the cars. It was an incredible experience for a car guy in his mid 20's Chrysler pulled the plug right after his heart transplant which ended the ride.

[@WarTheory]

Hope you guys Do a podcast on New York city underground drag racing...That actually inspired the original fast and Furious movie

[@rickthibault535]

Do a past gas on Ferruchio Lamborghini. Also do one on Lee Iacocca. Live your podcasts. Keep all the content coming.

[@hakimi6640]

Just doing my homework in at 12 midnight. Past gas is awesome. Love from Malaysia ✌

[@moparpower0788]

I love this car . Definitely on my bucket list. Turbo dodges are the most underrated cars of all time .

Now I really want to hear a Noel Miller verse on the Pop Up Headlights song

[@z71anthony60]

The first v-4 car was French. In the 70s and 80s the ford Taurus built in Germany used one. The first production car with a v4 was the Landis lambda on 1922 and the company used v4s till 76. And several others like the AMC mighty-mite military truck.

[@johnnymason2460]

I think you meant the Ford Taunus which was a German car. It may have had a V4. Who knows. The Taurus (which was an American car) never had a V4 engine.

[@deejaykbo]

Thank you boys these make my days of school and work so much easier!

[@skyfreakwi]

1:06:32 back in the day there were 6 door cars. Or vans anyway. The cargo doors on old vans were 2 in the back and 2 on the side plus the 2 for the driver and passenger.

“Texas-Style” Chili, as a broad and general rule, either doesn’t or shouldn’t include beans. I did not invent the “rule”, but have heard it’s a topic of contention and lean towards the bean-less vote. Also I’d eaten at the original Chili’s in Dallas (Plano?) in the way way back and their best-selling burger was chili-topped. No beans of course,, cuz that’d be gross on a burger. And you gents are awesome. Thanks so much for so much killer content!

[@kendalldickerson878]

get ready for the next round of "The Great Chili Debate". We usually end up having that discussion come up multiple times a year over on FB in North Texas BBQ Addicts group. so much so, that for a while all chili posts were being blocked. lol

[@mmacpherson9323]

No, shelby is on record saying the olds northstar was the best American engine made at the time and he chose it specifically

[@uptownsamcv]

he liked the Olds 4.0 but it was never considered a NorthStar even though it was based on it, it was called the L47. the Cadillac 4.6 NorthStar had head bolt issues...

[@3.0TMKreaZ]

Y'all were going ham on Nolan

[@musewolfman]

I had to look up the GLHS speedometer. It's so cheap looking, but I love it so much.

[@Oscuros]

What I always respected about Shelby was his understanding of European racing and any innovations there. So he was the first US car designer to put the biggest engine in the lightest frame like in the AC Cobra but in the 1980s that he understood the whole "Hot Hatch" phenomenon of the 1980s lead by the VW Golf and produced a US version that was not successful, but it was the US market's loss, because in Europe it was a wave of young drivers driving and racing those for cheap, like in the US in the 1960s with cars like the Corvette.

[@iturbo5733]

I don't know how I missed this video?!! I have owned Shelby Lancer #127 since 1999. I have converted the car to 16v DOHC using the engine out of a Chrysler TC by Maserati. It's a hoot to drive on the vacant back roads of Wyoming! I also have 1987 Shelby CSX #667 and it is also now 16v DOHC using the "Turbo III" engine from a Dodge Spirit R/T.

[@johnnymason2460]

I appreciate the fact that you have a Shelby Lancer. I'm surprised this podcast didn't mention the Shelby Lancer or the Daytona Shelby.

[@nickguilbert4259]

Loved it as always you beys. Colin Mcrae podcast would be great, super emotive. Love the live thing; will look forward to trying to be live with you in the future. I'm in the UK, so I gotta work that out!

[@Kryptic95823]

No shade intended with this, but I preferred the older format, over the live. Just my opinion, but I'm still watching and liking.

[@kendalldickerson878]

I heard a story a few years back about the someone that invented a working HHO fuel system, and supposedly he dissapeared after showcasing it to auto makers. any way to find any more details on that one?

[@therobb5738]

He was assassinated, but the cover-up story went that he died while drinking and driving, though he was not a drinker.

[@kendalldickerson878]

@@therobb5738 i heard something along those lines as well. along with another story that someone in GM developed a car in the 90s that would get 100mpg and it along with the engineer both disappeared as well

[@AOL666]

I’m sitting down watching the episode eating my boneless Buffalo wings and then I hear “CHILI’S” and my heart froze. I looked at my bag and see the chili’s logo. Never had anything that weird happen to me 😂

[@JC-gw3yo]

To see the awesome Shelby Fords, head to the Shelby Museum in Boulder Colorado...These Shelby's will blow your mind !!!

[@skyfreakwi]

Dudes that Aurora V8 car is pretty much exactly what I'm planning on building. Well the fwd v8 transplanted into a rwd mid engine with a huge hood vent for aero... Mine'll be more boxy like the hoonigan car though.

[@slamrahovart9024]

Don't forget the Shelby Toyota 2000Gt!

[@christophermoore8524]

Lancia put a V4 in a bunch of production cars. It sounds amazing.

John "Jim from The Office" (Krasinski) didn't play Lee Iacocca, Jon Bernthal did

[@J-K-A]

Hey guys I love the podcast but this live version is a significant drop in format quality. I love the engagement with the fans and happy to hear the extra revenue from taking live donation's. But please edit the podcast when you put it up next time. Please. I've had to stop listening because I get bored with reading comments and restart it later multiple times because of that.

[@eskamobob8662]

lancia did a bunch of V4s FWIW

[@gummostump4217]

Yep, most famously in the Fulvia. It's a narrow angle v4, though, so I guess we should be calling it a vr4?

[@otacon5648]

The three door Sierra Cosworth was rear wheel drive and the four door ‘Sapphire’ was rear and four wheel drive.

[@dominicrice8591]

I know I'm a little late, but a car that has a v4 engine is a 1972 Saab Sonett 2. It has a Ford v4 motor. Just an answer to one of the questions.

[@skyfreakwi]

51:14 not French but there was a V4 in the Saab Sonet II. Ironically it was made by Ford.

[@deejaykbo]

How do we watch this live???

[@cradleofgoth]

I'm pretty sure James mentioned in Lancia video that they made V4 engines. Fulvia more specifically has a V4 engine.

[@Whorizonx]

What is the song playing during the intro?

[@VampyrMygg]

The V4 was popular... Ford used them in Europe, in the Taunus, Consul, Transit, Capri... even the Mustang I prototype. Also used by Saab in the 95, 96, and Sonett II and III. I don't know if the Saabs made it to the US, but if not, the Mustang I prototype, the open roadster thing they first made, was the only V4 one I know mighta made it to the US.
