    What a wonderful world we live in where it's possible to buy a brand new, tech updated 1968 Ford Mustang. Seriously, what an accomplishment by Revology. So cool.
  • @soulassassin0g
    I don't understand how car companies don't just rerelease their older models from previous generations just with upgraded and modern tech?
  • @VeiLofCognition
    The most tasteful "resto-mod/replica" Mustang ive ever seen. The 17 inch wheels are the perfect size and type. Fabulous!
  • @andycombo
    The perfect Mustang. The only negative aspect is the 300.000 bucks price tag.
  • @dario1837
    these guys are smart: they preserve the beauty in automotive industry and build something that will never be out of fashion

    Thank goodness for how nostalgia actually works. I owned a '68 Mustang fastback with a 302 (first year, I believe, after the 289). I had it for no more than six months. It was great to look at, but no fun to drive. It rattled and squeaked, it was slow (due in no small part to the auto box), handled poorly, and - the last straw - had a shock tower failure, something known to happen. For those complaining about what Revology's works of art cost, this is EXACTLY what it takes to build something that actually meets those expectations of the cobweb-filled memories we carry around. Production cars until relatively recently were all made to squeeze out as much profit as possible. They were entertaining, but there were no real alternatives for the money. To create the ideal early Mustang we have in our heads is going to cost what it costs. Only a few will own them, but at least they can. And at least the rest of us get to watch!
  • Jay is so good at this. His knowledge puts the guests on their toes and their gears constantly going to keep up. Even in the sponsored videos, he's not letting them off easy. I love the candid shop talk.

    I ordered a Revology ‘66 GT350H and took delivery in November 2020. Great car, fast (GenIII Coyote/Tremec T56 4.10 gears) and it handles fantastic. The quality and post sale support is excellent. I have a ‘70 Boss 429 on order as they now do ‘69-‘70 Boss 302 and 429. The Boss ‘9 uses the same drivetrain as this ‘68 Cobra Jet. Yes, they cost as much as Ferrari. However, the feel and nimbleness of an early Mustang with a modern drivetrain, suspension, and brakes with OEM reliability is beauty in the eye of the beholder.
  • My first car was a 68 Mustang Notchback with the 302, green with black vinyl top. My dad got it for me when I was 15 for 500 bucks with blown out ball joints and electrical issues. Dad said you got 1 year to fix it and get it going for your behind the wheel test at DMV.. Needless to say I learned about fixing cars pretty fast, no internet just books. I passed the test behind the wheel on my 16th. birthday. Man I Loved That Mustang and Thought It Was The Coolest Car Ever! The Cars Name Was Todd! LOL😂
  • Probably the most knowledgeable guest I have seen on this show and what a car!!! Just fabulous.
  • Fantastic to see Revology on JLG. I have car number 17 built by Tom, the 1st right hand drive build and export to the UK., 350GTH and I absolutely love it. Congrats Tom and the team. If I had the spare cash I would definitely have one of these Cobra Jet’s.
  • @scottygdaman
    great to listen to a humble person talk about the awesome car they hand make with quality. long live the stang. thx Jay.
  • @woods-garage
    The attention to detail is amazing on this car. Front and rear spacing from tire to fender, the steering wheel, door hinges, and those gauges…outstanding.
  • @FrickingLunatic
    someone that cares how a car is built... this guy is awesome
  • @4Kandlez
    I'd have this car over a McLaren any day, the classic styling of the Mustang with modern running gear and build quality is perfect.
  • @risinbison1106
    Jay is so right about cars from the 60’s, my HS parking lot was full of them in the 80’s. They all rattled, barely stopped, handled like a living room and always needed something fixed. I think we romanticize having them more than actually enjoyed driving them. This version is just incredible.
  • @hockeymann88
    I like what this guy is doing, sticking to a process to control quality. The spec on this particular car is beautiful. Love the wheel and tire choice as well as the quality interior.
  • My dream car. I was born in '68 and always thought the '68 & '69 Boss 429 Cobra Jet was one of the most beautiful muscle cars ever made including all other Mustangs. Yes, I definitely would rather have that car in all black with those same wheels than a Maclaren or any other exotic car. I don't know why car companies don't do things like this themselves but a big thanks to Revology for picking up the baton and winning the race. Cheers.
