- Our first-ever Revology 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible is finally here. And to mark the occasion we invited the legendary designer Chip Foose from Foose Design to visit Revology headquarters and to take a spin in the GT500KR convertible. The event represented the coming together of two worlds; Chip, with his experience as the creator of individual automotive designs, and Tom, the architect of Revology's OEM-style approach to the building of reproduction original classic cars.

I get the sense when you said you can’t drive Hot Rods it set the tone and annoyed Chip. It’s too bad because I would have liked to have heard his true opinion on the car. I personally think this is the best car you all have built so far. Out of the stadium homerun!
Yes I heard that too, and he’s not wrong, but more so it’s that you’re just not going to. “Honey do you mind running to the grocery store to grab a few items?” “Sure thing, I’ll take my blown LS6 swapped ‘34 ford, you know, the grocery getter”
EXACTLY!!
@Yourmission9 how much more horsepower does a blown Ls swap have compared to the 710hp cobra jet fast back 2+2 revology offer?
@ThomasJones-ij68v No one cares what you think, we’re here talking while you’re talking nonsense. Scamper on now child
Chip seemed really excited 🤣😂🤣
I'm guessing the comment along the lines of "this is a real car that can be driven" with the implication that customs cars are not that, may not have been the best way to chat up Chip. He kind of makes his living off of custom cars. I don't know, just guessing.
Oops...kinda got off on the wrong foot with the "cars you can actually drive" comment.
Revology's branding is about contrasting their cars with the fact that old cars, even updated ones, really don't turn out well.
But Foose's cars are rolling art and are done to very high standards, and are real hotrods that really do drive as good as they look.
What Revology's real message is: "most classic cars are unsafe at any speed, and even the ones that get some updates are not very well done." It is just a big mistake to lump all hotrods into this message.
Revology was right to get Foose to have a look. Revology cars are production focused Foose machines. We love Foose cars. They are perfection. Foose is a car savant and is in touch with every part of the car world and his love and craftsmanship are poured into every tiny detail of everything he touches. Revology has brought that craftsmanship from that high place and made it a bit more accessible through a standardization process. Revology cars are what us mere mortals might aspire to, because a Foose car is so far out of reach.
Revology needs to re-think their brand message a bit. Not change what they do, just get away from the idea that theit cars are not hotrods. They are hotrods of a very high Standard. They are what we love about they best hotrods, with none of the drawbacks of all those merely "resto-modded old cars"
-- Foose is the ideal, Revology is the dream you can reach.
If I was Revology's PR guy, I would pull this video, and write an apology to Foose, and re-shoot it with this idea in mind.
But that ship has likely sailed. And your cars do speak for themselves.
- a fan
yea, he did!! it seemed tense after that.
Tom really screwed the pooch on this one. No one in his right mind would have published this video. It certainly looks like success has blown Tom's ego out of the ballpark.
@@1225KPH he asked chip about an illustration then told chip what he wanted drawn....
Yes. Invited a very busy top of his industry individual to see their car, make a rendering for them, then insulted him right to his face. Chip was quite polite and didn’t call them on it.
This is a business man making derivative products talking to an artist.
Those 2 groups need each other, but the mutual respect was not there.
Revology you’ve done it again, I had made up in my mind that you wouldn’t offer a 1967-8 convertible. Thank you for proving me wrong. Excellent build, nice that you had Foose on. However, I think we who love what you’re doing have gotten used to what we call the “Tom talks”. I’m ready.
What brilliant these days is that the big auto manufacturers are making parts and components that can be used to build out a high powered custom vehicle and one can still go to the parts counter for replacement parts. Very cool that you can make an OEM kitted out hot rod which has driven the aftermarket into a higher level of reliable performance, fit, and finish to remain strong in the categories beyond aesthetics. No better time than nowadays to build hot rods and resto mods of any year and that goes even more for the performance off-road segments. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Great looking Shelby Replica, If Chip Foose likes it then it must be a great car.
I appreciate Chip's talent and his eye. I've never seen any of his cars that I would take without making a few changes first. Revology on they other hand, has two cars that I would love to have if the opportunity ever came up.
OMG. This is the most beautiful car you built.
In my opinion, this is the best one yet. Absolutely love it ❤️. Beautiful Mustang!
I hope you build a 67 Coupe. That was the car that I learned how to drive in and I was there when my Dad bought it brand new from the Ford dealer for my Mom. Since I was raised on a horse farm when my parents went out on Saturday I would put the horses in the stable and drive all around the property. I was old enough to reach the pedals when I was 12 that was 1972. Great Videos Thank You 🙏
No one would buy a 67 coupe. The Revolution Mustangs start at $250K.
@@mach72man I know that I am just remembering times going by. My Mom could drive a clutch like an automatic. She could seamlessly shift from gear to gear like it was child’s play. And hold a hill without the brake was a sight for a 6 year old.
@@mach72man How about a 65 coupe instead? Revology built one…
czcams.com/video/q6SulOAOntk/video.html
Man , Tom this is the nicest car you have built to date. This is bad ass as you can get . I want one
THANKS TOM 🤗 CHIP MAY NOT BE,BUT MY SONS AND I LOVE ❤️ WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH MUSTANGS …THIS IS YOUR BEST YET,IMHHO 🤗😎💚💚💚
I HAD A 66 FORD MUSTANG COUPE IN MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL AND I FIXED IT UP LIKE A 66 SHELBY GT350 AND IT WAS MY DAILY DRIVER!
I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO START BUILDING THE 69/70 SHELBY GT500/GT350 MUSTANGS!...I AM JUST SAYING!
ONE THING I LIKEED ABOUT THE CLASSIC FORD MUSTANGS WAS THAT FORD OFFERED A LOT OF OPTIONS AND YOU COULD BUIID YOUR CAR FROM MILD TO WILD AND STILL DRIVE THEM ON A DAILY BASIS!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇
My first car in High School was also a 1965 Mustang Fastback in 1980, I made it into a Shelby GT 350 clone, using all Maier Racing suspension and Koni Shocks, only I used Enkei 16 by 8 inch wheels that I ordered in 1983 when I worked at Supershops Automotive Performance Centers in San Jose, and it took several months to get them from Japan, and could not finish metal flaring and painting the car with out them.
Imagine Revology building Foose Mustangs......
love it !!! the roll bar would make me love it more
You are correct sir...
I love Chip Foose and hope one day to meet him. Very talented, kind and decent man.
Plenty of hotrods can be daily driven and beat on!
Ouch...tight lipped? 😂 You brought him on as a guest because he is recognized as a master in his field. Should have stroked his ego and he may have responded differently. By all accounts, Chip is generous with his praises under most circumstances. Your Shelby is a piece of jewelry. But I think you stepped in it with the interview. Keep up the amazing work.
Tom needs to check his ego.
Hi Tom, Have you ever thought about holding a raffle for a good cause and give one of us who faithfully follow your channel the chance to buy a ticket to win a Mustang of a lifetime?
Beautiful car as always!! I'd like to see the real speakers under-mounted w/o grilles and the side panels perforated with mini-Mustang horses. (I've seen this done with the Chevy Bow-Tie logo in a Tri-5 Chevy package deck installation and IMHO it looked really good.
I will definitely fit a Ford badge on mine with the Shelby etc ...because that's the way it should be as a replica, for sure!
I love these videos could you do a full length tour of the exterior and interior with detail on the feature please?
Love the KR but why no 68 Shelby style rollbar?
Because it's not a real roll bar and putting one on the car is an invitation for a future lawsuit.
1:17, I don't know, but I think the rear axle is about an inch too far forward.
Chip doesn't seem to smile like he usually does.
Definitely think Chip was the wrong guy for this. If you go through the history of his build he does exactly what you do but in a crazier hotrod package. He is used to using top shelf components and oem parts wherever he can . You could take one of his Riddler cars and drive it on the power tour no problem. I dont think he was all that impressed because you are simply building old cars to a oem standard which is also what he does. Great video.
why no rollbar?
You are creating master pieces. Don't ever change the vision of what you do for the world. Living a dream other people could only wise for . You set the bar for standards in recreating a legend. Keep up the excellent work.
Don't know if it's an option, but I'd like this one to have the rollbar and headrests, other than that, fantastic ride.
Chip seems unimpressed.
You pissed him off with the hod rod comment. Always know your audience. Do your homework first.
What happened to the roll bar?
the rear end diff is hanging pretty low i see.....as in ahhhh isn't that too low? Great build BTW - super nice n sweet.
Chip seemed pissed to be there lol. But he is 100 percent right. It SHOULD be YOUR logo on the car. Its like building a custom guitar and putting a big brand name on the headstock instead of your own...
Probably when this guy insinuated that a hot rod couldn't be daily driven. There are plenty of resto mods that can be driven and beat on daily.
@@toddbarrowman8857 right? lol!
Disagree, the buyer of one of these mustangs is buying it because they want / I want a reproduction of the original car . I would take the shelby wheel and markings over the R for Revology not because I don’t love Revology work but I am buying a refined piece of art but as close to original in appearance as possible. He offers both to the buyer . Let the buyer choose
@@Docshelby1With modern suspension, big brakes, 17" wheels and a modern drive train, a Revology is not a reproduction. It's a serial production custom on a reproduction Mustang unibody.
I got to see this at Amelia!
How do you mass produce another company’s vehicle? Do you have to get some sort of release from Ford? I would think Ford would be extremely upset for some one to just start making clones without their permission. Also, I don’t understand why this gentleman would keep saying,”You can’t drive hot rods everyday”. I have a 1968 Ford F100 with a 390 hit rod . I could drive it everyday if I wanted to. I use it as a truck and a hot rod. Irregardless, you have a nice product and I wish the best for you and your company. Cheers!
They actually do have buy in from Ford, and they have been very supportive
damm that's hot - where is the roll/sound bar
Tom, this is the first time anywhere I have seen Chip Foose clearly unhappy. I can see you made friends with him when you implied you can't drive a hot rod everyday. Frankly, I can't believe you published this video- complete with a pissed off Chip Foose.
I don’t know what is up with Chip Foose. What I do know is what you and the Revology team are doing is very, very special. To take one of the most popular cars ever designed and make it better in every way is no easy task. It is obvious to your viewers that revology is interested in making a quality product rather than turning out crap for a profit. Keep up the great work.
I guess you didn't catch the part where Tom pissed off chip by implying you can't drive hot rods everyday.
Chip seems a bit grumpy and I think he is thinking to himself... Dang this is a pretty good car!
Amazing how daft some of you people are! Tom insulted Chip right out of the gate and a few of you are too stupid to catch it!!
Was it me or does the driver side wheel was leaning? Maybe the camera angle.
Don’t worry about Chip, he liked it. He’s probably wondering which classic car he should remanufacture in volume?!?
Tom’s company is an afront to the cars that Foose builds. I own two Revology cars and a third on the way. I can get in, fire it up and be assured that I won’t have to call AAA to come get it. Why would you want a 500K car you can’t drive. Most of the individuals who comment on my cars have an instant connection to them mostly because they don’t look like a Martian spaceship. But I guess that’s why there’s a channel selector on the TV.
Ask the guy who paid Chip $5,000,000 + each to build a two car for America's Most Beutiful Roadster competition.
You're still the ones who make old guys cry, either from happiness and/or because they can't have it, yet.
Way to check him right off the bat Chip @7:25-30! "WE CAN DRIVE HOT RODS"!!! LMAO
Revology Cars are nice, but I'd rather have FOOSE build me a car from scratch! Yes you can drive Hot Rods everyday. All you have to do is go out in the garage, start it up every single day and drive it... To make comments that Hot Rods are not driveable for everyday is disrespectful to Hot Rod builders... Don't forget your company was totally influenced by Hot Rods first, you just dialed it back a notch...
The fact that Revology had Mr. Foose come over and drive it for Mr. Fooses approval says it all. So glad they did this video because you could the jealousy all over his face having to submit to World Class Car Designer Chip Foose.
There is no shame is the Foose Game & that is why Chip boldly told him you should have the Revology Logo on the dash if you are not ashamed of it in so many unsaid words.... Chip did not deserve to be disrespected like that for no reason at all but pure envy and jealousy on Revology's Tom Scarpello's part... I'm truly shocked that an Italian car builder would actually show jealousy & envy on his face... Dude was totally "STAR STRUCK" by having Foose in his presence!
Tom you need to sit down for a while and truly think about how you made this video a disaster! If I can see it I know the entire Auto Community can see it. I can't believe this guy acted like a complete A$$HOLE in front of Chip Foose... SMH... Repent bro., repent!!!
Chip please take my 1967 FSTBK Stang and redo it just to make an example of guys like this!!!
Chip I'll pay you & Brock whatever it takes!!! Folk need learn some R-E-S-P-E-C-T to you... They forget too quickly who the king is!!!
AM I STARTING SOMETHING FOLKS, Hell Yeah I AM...
Nuff said Peace!!!
Huh. I saw it 100% the other way . Foose was dumbfounded by how gorgeous that build is and how beautiful it drives. I saw a cocky and jealous foose and I agree tom shouldn’t have had a hot rod restomod junk car builder comment on the refined piece of art that is the Revology mustang . You couldn’t pay me enough to drive a foose car .
I was literally waiting for the "nuff said!" at the end of this. only thing that would have made it funnier is "sent from my nokia using tapatalk" 🤣
You did it right in my opinion. Question: After a few years will blue jeans transfer blue on the leather & break your HEART ?
You really started off on the right foot with that stupid hot rod comment. That single handedly derailed the entire conversation.😆
Perhaps an "actual" marketing person should be hired to promote these cars? "Cars you can actually drive" may not be the best way to describe these cars nor best choice of words. I "actually" drive my 65 289 4 speed manual all the time and any time I want, its a different unique and fun experince. My good buddy "actually" drives his numbers matching 70 Olds 442 convertible with a 455cu in. Rocket from hell anytime he wants as well.
But in all fairness, I do agree, cars should be driven!
Wow, Chip is a pure joy O.o
he may have been more chatty if you hadn't insulted him the minute he got in the car.. "hot rods aren't driveable"
Bingo!
I'll take a Revology car over Foose every time.
Every time!
Absolutely, not even a question
?
Agreed, they’re big money but you’re getting a 65-68 mustang keeping the original style but updated to the level of performance and safety you’d get from a brand new car
Whatever
You have a beautiful car.I sure would like to get closer to it.And look at it, and I'm also glad to see that you took out those d*** showtowers.Thank you again for the video
Chip seems slightly skeptical, not just tight lipped. With a Whipple charged Coyote its a hot rod, but not in a crazy mismatched way.
Are you going to have another video to show what Chip came up with ?, Normally Chip seems like a nice enough person but he seemed a little I dunno, off, I hope he was able to give his impression and critique to you even if you dont want to show via a video which is ok, not everything has to be shared and of course that would be helpful to you.
Agree…this was not a normal Chip meeting at all.
@@melvinsmiley5295 Tom builds "cars you can really drive" and Chip doesn't. Chip was far too polite.
Maybe you should pay attention next time. Tom insulted Chip right out of the gate!!
Missing the Rollbar
roll bar is missing, they all came with them
Very nice , it's everything a KR would have been except every Shelby Mustang had a roll bar ...that is the dead giveaway that it's a tribute car ...
Is revology required to do crash testing?
Man was Chip hungover??????????????
He sure didn't seem his normal self thats for sure...
Tom told Chip he "builds cars you can drive" implying Chip doesn't.
To bad you didn't keep with the classic '68 theme for the engine size on the fenders by using cubic inches instead of liters.
Tom also did a segment with Jay Leno. Neither Jay nor Chip seemed to grasp the fact that Revology was building new cars, not rebuilding old muscle cars. Chip acted like he was doing Tom a favor just by being there. I do agree that they should take this video down, or at least edit out the Chip Foose part as it's not helping his brand.
The disgruntled look on Chip's face can't be denied. The choice of words set the tone for the entire video. I would have clarified that statement and given Chip my most sincere apology within a second once realizing that it came out as a negative.
Missed the mark with the 5.0, should have went with the 428 CJ..
Tom, I am disappointed Chip didn’t give more accolades to you for the superior builds your company does !
Chip was at a point of feeling intimidated, which brings out his belittling behavior. Didn't you catch it?
Yeah, that happened right after Tom said you couldn't drive a hot rod everyday.
I like what you guys do but found your comments to Chip disrespectful. I may not always like Chip's work but there's no reason to put down the entire hot rod genre. Each of you have a place in the market and make the hobby (and that's what it is) is better off with both of you in t.
I guess Chip is not easily impressed....He really didn't seem to care too much for the car other than to say "nice car"...😎
Kinda awkward to watch once Chip entered the frame. Guessing he needs some wife time…. Beautiful car, a dream car.
Really surprised that Chip Foose had so little to say...mostly 2 or 3 word part sentences. He's certainly a great designer/builder but...maybe he's jealous.
I know, the Foose segment was really awkward.
Are you guys asleep? Chips attitude changed right after Tom implied you can't drive a hot rod everyday. Who the hell has a custom car builder at a shop and tells him that his cars are better?
The wheels don't look right. The glaring omission is the roll bar. They don't repop those, so sol..also shelby didn't build the 68s. All were built at AO Smith at Livonia Mi in Nov 1967.
Chip "tight lipped" is an understatement. Almost cringe worthy.
Now I'll say it - GREAT CAR, GREAT ACHIEVEMENT!
How much does something like that cost? It's beautiful. Chip is a little full of himself at times. I see the prices, thanks
Wrong! Chip isn't full of himself dummy, Tom insulted him right out-of the gate. Pay attention next time!
i like more the revology kind of approach than the foose kind of approach. but in the "explaining" what you do, and trying to get the approval from a famed person... you kind of insulted his kraft... saying "real cars" and "you can actually drive" . . . then Chip just got silent and minimum polite to get through the day.
Pretty disrespectful to say, "You can't drive Hot Rods" it's not like Chip Foose is some guy in his garage slapping together a custom ride.
Revology does amazing work but maybe show a little respect for a guy who's done the same.
What crawled up chips @ss and died? At least the video showed Tom to be well spoken and relaxed, just the way a spokesman should be. Nice job Revology.
Tom crawled up Chip's ass when he suggested you couldn't drive hot rods. Pay attention.
Harvey needs to pull his own head out and pay attention!! Tom insulted Chip and every hot rodder right out of the gate!!
Chip Foose seemed less than impressed with your opening comment about hot rods not being drivable cars.
Oem chip is tight lipped because oem is not putting a coyote with an tci chassis under a kit car looks Hella nice though and great job but not an oem restoration like back in the 60s😅
Come back after you pass English class.
I was not surprised at Chip's lack of response, as stock appearing is not his thing. Personally when it comes to classic muscle cars I like them as stock looking as possible. I've seen Chip's work on TV and in my opinion he ruined some really nice cars with his customization.
Boy , you got that right dude
You need to look up other things foose has done besides the TV show
Hopefully Chip Foose will show up next time.
He did show up. Tom the dipped insulted him right out of the gate!
Agree, you "can't drive hotrods "? Seriously?
Yeah. You pissed him off. You should have used your words differently. Saying this is a real car like Hot Rods are not. I’ll admit. Your builds are unique. There more like a pro touring car that can be driven long distances and uncomfortable.
I want one!!!! Yes Revology over foose every time
I am amazed people are willing to pay 0ver 200 grand for a Mustang. I would not pay that much for any car period.
I think Chip was jealous of your creation, lol 😆
I got the impression Chip's lack of enthusiasm was due to lack of interest in a car so close to stock. It's just not Foose's world.
Revology why don't you design your own style of a car?🤓👋
Don't let Foose get hold of it , He'll lower it, low profile tires, some flower looking wide rims, and a stripe down the side, you gotta Foose fu@kup car. Have never seen a Foose car I like.
"you can drive hotrods!" yeah, to the local bar and with a support truck following. 🤣
of course unless china can build these for you and the price drops in half, that would help your margin
you need to sell over a hundred of these a year to make it profitable
you’re half way there
good luck though and i mean that
Chip with you at Revology. Hmmm... As I expected, his contemptuous personality was clearly visible. It is not his place to tell you: "your name should be there" in place of the CJ emblem on the dash. You aren't going to look at one of his cars, and say "you shouldn't have done this. You should do this". I met him once, and that was enough for me. He verifies his lack of design ability with the 1971 custom Mustang he built, by using 1969 Camaro RS tail lights on the build. Anyway, keep up the phenomenal craftsmanship at Revology.
Chip looks annoyed 😂
Just doesn’t look right to me. Without a CJ under the hood, it’ll never be a KR, and the proportions are wrong on the modern chassis.
Mr. Revology , First off your company isnt doing any thing new most rodders and custom build guys are using Ford coyotes and chevy LS engines as you are
which gives daily reliability and is now common place . Not to be disrespectful but your product is mostly off the shelve items
Why a 68'? 67' is the best year as Ford had less involvement.
You insult the guy, double down on the insult later on, and then you want praise?
How some people in the comments didn't catch that, I'll never know.
You seemed kinda condescending to be honest.
... Chip could sign the dash, and it's STILL not worth $275,000... Sorry , not sorry.
You make a nice cake chip but I build driving machines.
So nice. Dare I say that Chip was a little jealous he didn’t do that one???
What the hell is wrong with Foose? His attitude is way off. You'd think being a "Car Guy" he would have been more appreciative even though this is not his deal. Or.....has Chip just become an old grumpy SOB?
1 response thought Chip was hung-over.....I'd hate to think that but may be??
Tom insulted him. Are you deaf or stupid?
Foose is the best in the world at what he does. He was kind enough to give u his time. u use his name for clickbait, and the first thing u do when he sits down behind the wheel is insult him and his craft. Get over yourself, Gilligan. Foose could build those cars in his sleep.
Has anyone looked at Foose wheels? A joke like him!
I love Chip Foose and his creations, but he seemed kind of bitchy here? Anyone else feel that?
Took a cheap shot at Foose, totally disrespecting him. "We don't build hotrods ".Chip designs cars and designs have to COMPROMISE. Tried to clean it up but messed up He shouldn't of said that either.
Very nice job you're doing at Revology. However, you need to work on your people skills.
Chip Foose's designs are horrible. What do you need his approval for? Tell him to go pound sand.
