    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!

    Dad said you got 1 year to fix it and get it going for your behind the wheel test at DMV..

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.

      Bringing a woman into your life is as crazy as agreeing to juggle a hand-grenade that's missing its pin, every-single-guy I knew, was friends with, worked with, you name it, have all had their lives decimated by some delusional, impossible to satisfy tramp who forced them back into their grandmother's basement or onto my couch after a lifetime of hard work, yeah no thank you to any of that for me.

    I watch this for a couple of reasons. Jay is a genuine likeable guy and he has real class and good taste in cars. Not to mention the amazing cars he features and the knowledge you get from him. So far this episode is my favorite because I have a love for Ford muscle cars and the mustang is in the top 3 of all muscle cars. Plus I recently saw an add on CZcams for this company and I was really curious and Jay just did a thorough test drive and brought me along. I'm giddy.

It was forest green with modified Cobra stripes (narrowed and straightened a bit to make the coupe look longer). Now I'm looking at the Revology website and salivating. Had my brother lived longer, I think he'd either be running his own shop or working for a guy like this. This brings back such great memories and good times! And at around $300k, a bit pricey, but the satisfaction of the ride would be priceless. As soon as I win big in Las Vegas, I'm buying one, or two, or maybe three... ❤

      Fundamentally it is more of a mustang body than mustang. But it appears to be extremely well done. Nothing done that is a surprise to those that like to modernize these cars, but nice to see more people providing a turn key option for this kind of modernization. Personally, I am all for these sort of modernization of the higher volume classic models. Keeps the look alive without the headaches of owning a 50+ year old car that drives crap compared to a modern car. And in 20 years, I hope the 2000's rattle buckets of today get the same treatment, although the construction of that era of cars was not as robust as the 60's vehicles and by then the thing to do may be EV swaps.

It actually made me understand cars and how they worked as I replaced the parts. Should have seen the look on my shop teachers face when I brought it in for an oil change. The more I look at this car, the more I drool. This just proves how the Mustang and the looks of it, make the '60's and early '70's the most desirable, kinda like the music.
