Thanks AutotoiaLA and team for coming down to the Wilwood headquarters to feature our Wilwood workhorse Mustang! See you guys again soon!!

[@grahamefreestone5309]

I love what you've done to that car. Just the right amount of mods without going over the top. I really like the square stance that it has. It just sits there waiting! 👍 🇬🇧

[@meanmark8756]

Any hopes for a ‘65 Thunderbird kit?

@@meanmark8756 Hi, thanks for contacting us! Sorry, we do not carry a brake kit for that vehicle. When you have a chance please fill out our brake kit referral page on our Wilwood website. If we get enough submissions we may possibly make a kit for it. wilwood.com/About/BrakeKitReferral

That's an original color too. It's called Rangoon red.

[@albertcantoran6367]

Looks more like Poppy Red

[@briankinnear7461]

LOVE IT. I'm a big Mustang fan and this is, to me anyway, the perfect build. Vintage Mustang that still looks like a vintage Mustang with all the modern performance and handling and it's still a really good daily driver. Very cool.

Almost reminds me of when you see an old mustang riding around with the black stealies on it...lol. love it.

I have a 66 coupe sitting at home that's just about the same color red, but she sure as hell doesnt run or sound that good! I think I'm inlove

[@eliteharrington7377]

This is my second time looking at this video. That car is simple and awesome all in the same breath.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfectly built for true drivers. No frills just drive!

[@tomnekuda3818]

Very much a working mule......love the car. You can keep trading parts and develop new ideas with it and pass them on down to other guys cars. Everything in this car is totally functional.....as I've said before, parts left out can never break or wear out and doin't cost you anything. Pure function. When you guys took it out for a drive, the engine TALKED TO ME! Nice sound without being raspy with tight handling characteristics. Whadda car! Shawn-you have the best job on earth!

Once again Shawn, you’re killing it! Great car and great review! I’m a Chevy guy, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the 65 & 66 Mustangs.

[@elmerrichardson6413]

This is bad ass! I love this Mustang, because of it simplicity in style and that engine OMG is taking no prisoners!

[@TravNasty520]

I like cars like this way more then cars with motors that make a godly amount of power (700 plus) If I build a car it will be something like this! 500hp max, a true drivers car!

[@isaiahr3471]

Yeah I don't like overpowered cars! However I'd go 550-580 NA HP

[@T0YCHEST]

700hp cars nowadays are more tame tho, its not like back in the past when the engine sounds like its about to explode and ride quality dips

[@cricky6239]

@@isaiahr3471 as an owner of a 66 mustang, 500 would probably be the absolute max. People don’t realize they’re only 2600-2800 pounds, that’s a super car power to weight ratio and they aren’t exactly known for their great handling. However I can’t tell other people what to do to their cars so have fun haha

[@eternalcowboy585]

It's not about being tame though...it's if the chassis can handle that kind of power.

[@cricky6239]

@@eternalcowboy585 exactly, the chassis is not built to handle more than 400 hp without serious reinforcement

[@sacooper802]

you present a lot of classic mustangs and I lOVE IT!

[@chrislovett87]

What a great car, clean and just done right for a fun all around badass driver.

[@conchrisafis2617]

Cool ride boys I own a sinister black 66 and know what it’s like to drive these cars light and nimble and around 500 pony’s makes u buckle If u ever come down to Australia u can vid my Stang.

Nice stang 👍

[@pnwchris2000]

Not saying I won’t ever buy Wilwood brakes because I probably will but I always figured I’d buy some Baer Brakes for my first set of upgraded brakes. I have noticed that most of the vehicles on this channel run with Wilwood tho so maybe I should continue looking into them both

[@mg_streetkandi]

They make a really good product..maybe 1 day ill have a set..👍🏁

Awesome episode. May have to watch it again.

[@deliciouslifetv7362]

That’s a badass mustang.. and I’m not even a mustang or coyote engine guy .. cool episode bro 😎 good job

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

Proper all around build! Can do a little bit of everything with it, have fun, sounds good, stops well, turns well, on a good tire it should go well into the 11s and I bet they don’t have to wrench on it a ton from broken parts. Way more time, effort in money in this thing that it appears on first glance. 💪💪🏎🚀

[@CyberDocUSA]

That color is blazing and that car is so well balanced & put together. Mike's a madman driver. :-)

[@MindDezign]

What no merch ad,before the drive ?! Those mustangs were dirt cheap ,still not long ago! Don't find them any more! All the 60'70' and eighty's stuff is all held off the market. He could have put any V8 in that car in my opinion. Light weight, build the suspension, It's just so much fun TODAY to get a light 60-80's car and mod them.

[@jongib4286]

Tastefully done. So nice 👍

[@salvadorsierra8224]

🔥brutal one🔥

[@01surge24]

Not a mustang guy....but wow what a nice car...love the look ...and the manual brakes can’t be any thing like from the 60s to stop that beast.

There is something special about the 65-66 era mustang. Sure the 67 is nice but the 65-66 is just special

[@jeremyalvarado2523]

Love this stang! My daughter and I are going to be doing our own build together on a 66 coupe and we're curious to know if it's possible we could get a materials list of everything you put into this 66'. This is exactly what we're trying to do with ours and this would be a great direction to take ours in. Thanks again!

[@Powershift]

That thing is mean! SO awesome

[@1valg]

That is such a nice car. Looks well built and the stance....oh yeah, they got it just right. Never did like red cars though ha ha.

[@deborahchesser7375]

A perfect Mustang if there ever was one, my gosh what a beautiful machine. No way I could let that sit if she were mine, I’d have to drive it around.

[@rmc421]

In my opinion, they should have put that logo on the body line jutting out right underneath. Amazing build though! I just got wilwood disks for my Chevy, can’t wait to install them

Sweet sounding awesome MUSTANG 👌

[@AutotopiaLA]

Total hard driver build

[@time_on_target]

I like this build, the stance, colors, and wheels look really good. This car is similar to my 67 but I went with an LS7 instead of a coyote and my car only weighs 2800lbs.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Nothing wrong with LS7 imo. You must have a beast of a car!

[@MachRC9]

Wonder what kind of exhaust they are running. Sounds great.

[@horacehenderson6202]

Sweet mustang

[@TheTkrum]

It’s not so much the stopping distance that is so noticeable, although it’s significantly better - the biggest difference was in rotor and hat temps. I’ve yet to see my brakes get over 250 degrees. My stock brakes got up to 550 degrees. Heat is a big deal.

[@eternalcowboy585]

Those lower temperatures allow for repeatable stops without fade.

[@TheTkrum]

Eternal Cowboy especially crucial when towing

[@lasseellingsen4779]

I wish my Mustang could sound like that..

[@jasonwoodall-gs7jc]

Love this car saw it at good guys car show in Scottsdale.. Ive built a similar build with a gen 3 and tkx still trying to figure out the spring rate for the front end. Viking recommended 600 lb springs and I had no suspension it was like a dropped low rider so I dropped to a 500 lb and it still rides rough even when I adjust the compression and rebound getting ready to order ride tech coil overs for the front but not sure what spring rate to get any advice from anyone would be helpful thanks.

The sexiest thing in cars a no brake manual transmission burnout.

[@eternalcowboy585]

He didn't really know what a T code was... 😂....nice save though.

[@rogjackson]

Painting Wilwood on the side is odd but ok. So it has a replacement frame? Which is totally cool if you have the cash, but that's is some serious coin, right? The rear tub work looks well done and the fender flares aren't extreme, preserving the classic look. Is it a narrowed rearend? He said it was minitubbed. That it gets driven is the best point about it in a way. When you say "manual brakes" does that mean no vacuum asist or hydraulic asist whatsoever? Because that is an issue with a lot of hot rodders trying to go 4 wheel disc conversion on some older street cars apparently. Overall, really cool Ford. Like it. Excellent video!

[@amsorobraywbo9558]

Good cars..

[@c8365]

Is there a shop like this near modesto or manteca area where I can build a car like this?
