THE ULTIMATE CAR COLLECTION! THE HOLY GRAIL HAS BEEN FOUND Part 1..PART 2 IS NOW UP!!!

[Music] hey guys today we're going on an adventure we got Mitchell behind the camera we got Dave driving we got Paul are going to go to a fellas place at a undisclosed location to check out his you know the word for it phenomenal collection of cards his name's Warren and there may or may not be a 1967 GT40 in his shop so if you want to check that out wait to the end we are just so stoked to go and check this guy's stuff out here Warren is a very interesting fella we're gonna get him to explain the vehicles that he's got the engines that he's got his history you need to watch this one this is going to be an absolute blast absolute is we could probably use a better word for that but I mean that's all that's all I got right now yeah we've only seen pictures of the stuff that's there in it it doesn't even make sense to actually be feed on the ground at his shop is going to be ultimate experience we'll call it okay guys we're in one of many of Warren shops uh we just did a quick tour I wish we would have been recording every second of it because there was a lot of information but uh we will do some recapping we're gonna make him repeat a lot of stuff but just just look at some of the stuff he's got here like this is Heavenly Oldsmobile Rocket over there that's a 427 Cobra Jet out of a boat it's got a flathead V8 here uh just randomly firing up his Cobra because that's what he can do uh which is on the other side of his [Music] I'm sorry guys [Music] 427. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so how many 427s are in a Cobra as far as I know two two and you I remember somebody telling me a story about this if you actually had a conversation with Carol Shelby and he said it would never fit that's right it would have done otherwise they would have done it so you had a meeting with him and or you proved to him that it would happen that well he basically yeah yeah I wanted to do a camera story because I'm a poor guy so I came across two camera Motors that renewable stuff a single four and a dual four motor I bought them both because I wasn't sure which one would work my my favorite was to do the dual quad but if I can I could get by with single four and the other thing is when I said I was going to run a dual quad mortar on the street they said you better find a source of Parts because Ford supplies no parts for those Motors there's nothing available aftermarket is not kicked in so then you're stuck with an orphan I said well don't worry about buying spare parts I'll just buy another more so I want another more but the idea that I might need it in the actual fact I didn't built this car 33 years ago one of Carol Sheldon California because I had to deal with him because I said Michelle be franchise in Saskatchewan and they're dealing with him with customers cars and uh a certain degree in difficulty he was not treating my customer right and I would just work for a dealership I don't want a dealership I just worked for the dealership so anyway later on I follow them up I said I want to put a camera in a corporate card it says it won't fit he says Ken miles and I talked about it some other guys talked about it and it won't fit otherwise we would do it and I said well the motor's heavy yeah he said but we can get alloy blocks and alloy heads we get all that stuff we should waiting to get away but he says it just physically does not fit as well I'm gonna check that out so I took the thing and I started working on the car I had to make up more box face in the sides you know I could take but if you take a look over there you see a big skull for the cam cover sits over in that side yeah you see that little box thing corner of the box when I used it I took a fiberglass pattern of a Ford oil pan but the whole four-l pen fiberglass cut away everything it didn't look like at one I glasted in after I cut part of that inner structure away I did the same thing on this side over here yep this Theory shaft is a little tight but it does work and uh you know so I phoned him up I says I've got the camera in the cobra this is okay I was in fifth grade I haven't run oh really how's your run that runs good I said I'm even driving it well he says I'm coming up to a show in Vancouver and two weeks maybe three weeks ago yeah pay me to come up there but I'm going to fly out from Vancouver to see you because I want to see this thing done so he flew out went for a ride he signed my Dash we had a great conversation that's how it all played out now as far as doing anything with the motor was that I have any issues in it it's a 12 and a half compression one motor there's 657 horsepower stock two fours as Ford builds it and this is as Ford built it this is 100 427 sohc as delivered by Ford I have a part number tucked away for it if anybody needs it even the wires are the right wires and our wires are date coated 1966 that's when this motor was built wow and the other Motors also was a 66 as well so uh I got her some bad gas with it and kicked out a head gasket so now I gotta fix it I don't want to take the mortar apart in the car because it's a busy spot I'll just take the motor out yeah so if you look at the car you see visually what's happening but the hood comes off the rad comes off the rad tank comes off I go underneath I disconnect the drive shaft take off the shift linkage disconnect the hydraulic clutch take the throttle linkage off undo the wiring harness I leave the drive shaft it's unbolted from the differential it's still stuck in the transmission it drives and the drive shaft is about 11 inches long then I have to take off all these plugs out take the cam covers off and I have to close that's the number one cylinder that I have to close the number one exhaust valve I don't close the exhaust valve the engine will come through the hood actually the rocker arm on that side and the rocker on this side use one door signal assist on where the carburetor plate goes pull it up on the chain hoist and get it up there if they get it close put some tension on it give it a shake and know it comes it goes back in exactly the same way wow change the head gasket put back together it's been running ever since geez so as far as it being unreliable or unsuitable it's a it's a story it's all there's a story I have no exposure to that and uh this was my driving car when I went down to California all the time my California Arizona and uh Dennis who is no longer with us he was doing the Willies and uh that's the car beside us this guy right here he said our father said a dual stock tail lights for the wings he says can we go over to California and pick him up I said sure when do you want to go assistant tomorrow next day whatever you want I said well tomorrow what do you want to take let's take Tacoma sure so here we are in a car that has no roof no windows no heater no radio no lighter no ashtray nothing you have a little travel bag to get on an airplane with them you pack our in there throw the stuff in the trunk anyway nothing of it turns out it was a big deal yeah but to me it wasn't a big deal and I drove the car as my the only driver down there and wherever I wanted to go everyone did a job in Vancouver and a friend of mine wanted to go to Kelowna because he had found me there so we drove from there to Coloma this is the family now we're coming out a light drizzle there's the snow pretty soon it's raging snow and then pretty soon we got slush on the road about 12 inches deeper plowing snow again open car no roof no nothing like that and the slush is so bad being splashed up by big trucks passing us going the other way we're heading towards Coca-Cola said I give him a milkshake Carton on this side and he's bailing the inside of the car you know we got to the Coca we went to a gas station there we took our duffel bag out changed clothes and then drove Vancouver and dry clothes wow so traveling is not a big challenge you know like I felt if I had a change of clothes I was prepared that's the last place crazy that's an incredible car worm holy cow and uh and it's not fussy like we just turned it off and I'll just [Applause] detail guys things have to be done they have to be done right and that's how I do things and these are the factory carburetors they've got the tags on them got the part numbers on them and everything's all correct and it's a treat to have this injury because there's so few of them were ever built and so a few of them still existed I have a picture in one of my brochures an engine like this single four barrel identical to the one that I sold two years back because I sold my Singapore mortgage I thought I'd never use it sold on bring a train last week for a hundred and sixty thousand dollars in America wow just the engine just the engine that was a single single okay so that that this that changed the number quite a bit what we're looking at here yeah to me it doesn't you know uh I I this was never a numbers thing with me except things that are matched up correctly you know when I did the Motor installation because I never put any Motors in these cars I had to make sure I captured all the bits and pieces from 1965 to 56 so all the little things here like these these little cans here for you got the front brakes rear brakes hydraulic clutch these are made by Girling and Girling was a manufacturer that made the parts for cobra all these little doodad trinket things around here uh one of the things that you have to have is down in the corner here you have an oil thermostat okay the problem with the Cobra cars is that a lot of guys drive them like everyday cars but the oil gets too cold it doesn't get warmed up you got that big red in the front so the thermostat controls the amount of heat it gets rejected by the radiator if it's too if the oil is too cold it bypasses and just kicks it back to the motor to make sure that my radiator and my cooler and my thermostat are all working correctly I'm not having an issue the car has two oil pressure gauges so either in the car here and one reads off the pump and one reads back into the mower okay so that I know and there's some pressure drop and you have to expect that and and pretty much that's it um it's difficult to adjust for gas mileage and all that but but I have that ability I don't think that's a concern is it well if you drive a long distance if you're burning less fuel you're putting less crap into the oil you know so I have a little design thing that I did with an old Ford Construction module and I'll give you a demo so I have a knob here on the dash where I can control my timing okay so on not right I roll right back on the highway I can take a whole bunch of timing I'll put a bunch of time again we're starting up cold I leave the timing all in but as soon as the temperature comes up I started driving I roll it back and I feel good not at the time I kicked off the head gasket because I've had too much timing in it and bad fuel and but now I have the ability to to just do it all over here after doing it mathematically they use a micro switch but now I have a balance control in the dash wow some serious engineering going on there and that's just this car that's just this car yeah what's the story with the uh the GT40 GT40 it's not like our story tell they tell their own story uh the first thing obvious about is that everybody says a steering wheels on the wrong site and it's on the right hand side because these cars designed to race in Europe and they did race them in America but they're designed to race in Europe uh GT40 first came out they started they tried using a little 255 four can Indy engine which is a great border for Indianapolis there was a four and a half liter motor and uh you have to be concerned about how much displacement you're allowed to have I think Falcon might even be you know what 260 before yeah two I think it's four and a half liters but for not for racing over in Europe they had determined that five liter would be the limit so they take a 289 for it because it's a 289. it's old enough not a 302 yet so they manipulate the internals of the motor to give them exactly 305 cubic inches which is exactly the five liter limit right and they ran it for one year and then the very next year Ferrari was complaining about there are words there's two Indian eyes are really bothering them because they saw them in the corporate cars they did really well in corporate cars and this is sort of my car he said in the GT40 if they ever get that thing sorted out now we hear rumors that there's an overhead cam engine in the in the lineup we're going to up the limit to seven liters because they had a 6.8 liter V12 they were absolutely in love with you know and they thought this is going to do really really well and when you see the movie before versus Ferrari Ferrari motor at that time would have been the 6.8 liter running just under the seven liter limit they never presume for a minute that Ford would use a passenger car engine because I think of like a 428 Ford 427 what the hell is that it's a station like and that's all they can Noble they just think it's a big clunky push hard whatever they want they didn't realize how forgiving and how powerful and how realistic the 427 Ford was uh these this car goes 206 miles an hour wow with this little motor uh the engine is makes a lot of power it's all about Air Management and I'll give you a quick lesson on that so right here you have this Radiator in the front and for the size of the engine it works quite small it takes air and it moves over the top of the car and some enters a little dropped up here some of the what spills over the front kind of clears over this decal and hits there and that's how you get your cooling into your car and you have little slots cut and these windshield posts then you have little vents in the dash and then you also have a spot on in the seats so you can direct your cold air wherever you want that's good for the driver these mirrors here are there because of a rule because the class they have to have outside mirrors this was the most aerodynamic correct year they could find but it's still cause drag so what they did is they pinched this fender and create a low pressure area behind here this Fender is pinched out the low pressure area this drag is virtually invisible and the air will will try to collect whatever causes to it it ends up here and this goes into oil coolers there's Big Oil coolers in the back most the engine cooling is done with oil not with water in the front okay and the engine oil coolers capture all the heat from the motor and they reject it out the back here this big grill I'm wash away the coolers are and there's some heat off the top of the engine right here because of a formula and that's you've taught me the words formula maybe you have v1p1 over T1 because V2 P2 over T2 it has to do with the theoretical operation of gases through changes of volume changes of pressure and changes the temperature if you take a gas and you heat it it expands dramatically okay the air coming in here there's outside air it hits those RADS it's exiting here tremendous temperature there's so much push back here you actually got a positive cell pushing the car at 200 miles an hour wow uh this area right here is a pressure area just picked up off this windshield picks it up up here and it steers this into here and drives it into a plenum for the carburetors and the carburetors are pressurized so it's like free supercharging wow so the engineering in the car has only just recently been discussed because nobody really paid attention to it the underneath of the car is just a piece of material flat like this you don't see anything you don't see a thing it's absolutely flat it's all about managing the wind right right coefficient is just so little so little so little it's uh hardly any powered R it goes fast it goes really really fast these answers make less than 400 horsepower but it's capable of going that fast when they want the 427 car they want to put more Tire on it which they did with bigger tires back here no the windows gets in the way but now they got enough power in management uh how are we going to get around that well the first 427s that they used they made so much power that they didn't have any way of figuring out how much extra power they would need so they and I went down to Dearborn to think on the X line and in the X lab you have it like it looks like a dining room and it is it's a dino room and you took wall wall to the glass and guys sitting around with notebooks and stuff like that and I'm talking about something else we're gonna watch what's going on right here this thing is more revving up waiting on revving up going down and getting really high RPM the real or feeling what it is the dino it's got a break on it and the and the gearbox and the clutch and and the wheels driving the dyno and they can load and unload the dyno whatever they want they have absolutely simulated every single inch of the Le Mans track they know exactly what the car will go at this point on the track and they have to make the engine comply with that while I was down there the proper engineer and they said guy says how did the 427 do today he said well based on our track time that we have now we've won LeMans twice this week with this combination and they went to LeMans did exactly you said it would do really wow and the engines had compared to 447 NASCAR ranges which are very high performance changes and kind of you know they didn't want something there's going to be erratic it's going to last 24 hours you reduce the compression you reduce the valve size and reduced the port side you only run one carburetor and they dominated that risk well and most of the time you're right around 52 5300 because that's it yeah Ken miles came up with the idea he says the Ferrari makes a great motor it's a great car but it's not a girl so he says here's what we do we go he's he's the coach he tells the other guys get out there drive hard don't drive hard after breaking but drive hard and make the Ferrari chase you or make him pass you okay because eventually I'll break it that's exactly what happened all the Ferraris that were this in the seven liter class they all failed breakage every single one then they just cruise through afternoon all right Ken Milo is so far ahead in the last lap it was two laps ahead of everybody he had just idle along the side for two full lap like the other guys catch up he had to race one but because if you saw the movie they're talking about what happened in the starting position on the grid and all that he didn't win the race the older he came in second and that was a sore point with everybody people will ask me about the movies and I like it I said it was a great movie but it was so far from the truth I was really annoyed the quick question is what were you annoyed with I said the guy that was the key to the whole deal was not Carol Sheldon 10 miles to a point obviously because he was a fantastic driver the key to the whole deal the guy that got name mentioned once Phil Remington and Phil Ramekin figured out the original GT350 he figured out the original Cobra he figured out the 427 Cobra and he figured out the GT4 and you hear about the credits he deserved to me the movie should have been above him but people don't want to go to a movie and read about engineers right they wanted they want to read about it here yeah uh Carol Shelby who is the guy I know knew well in the world with us of course he was a fantastic salesman and because of his notoriety with all the things and where he was on the media and everything like that he could have tracked people in the attracted very intelligent people wanted to work for and that success they worked Ford motor did not have that ability so he was a key player his Corporation being able to attract the people that were allowed to make the car successful so this this car has never been raced he was using his backup car a guy had three of these cars in California and uh the erased two cars quite competitively and he kept his third car as a backup card the idea was that one of the other cars got hit where they hit something bad on the road Jones the suspension or something went sour on the car and they couldn't sort it out they could go to this car okay they could run this car and say okay this is what this car is capable I left with the car this is the minimum your car would be killing if you can't run this car does because this car there would have been lightly tinkered then you got a major problem you got it because it was kept as as a saddle set up follow-up card okay and it's the only orange one you made the only orange was the only one wow wow can we open the back sure I've been waiting patiently oh wow look at that you're the oil coolers right there so you see all this ductwork built into this yeah why we're here jeez hey Siri England yep so how many of these cars were built it's hard to describe it because they've changed marks they changed versions they made some Roasters made some of this but probably around 70 to 80 cars in total okay someone with your street cars some were rooster cars somewhere where cars were used for random testing some of the evolved into other cars uh there's a variety of things but the cars is not a Ford design at all it's not important yeah the guy by name Eric braghi built a car called alola so this is based on the Lola car if four people got involved in the Lola and they said this looked like a really good car and then the engineers took great interest in it then they started working the things around the car and of course Phil and ramkin shows up and they start making all these appropriate changes and it's subtle design like you see there's a battery box here there's a battery box there weight distribution no no which way does attract a turn in which is the hardest turn to make put it on the inside I guess so yeah yeah so there's no battery in here no but this one goes over there I see yeah okay over there wow and if you look at the suspension parts you'll see GT40 stamped right in them foreign I'm sure they're there somewhere but this is amazing on this big upright you'll see them but anyway it's it's it's a very tunable car like everything is adjustable everything's adjustable and everything's tight for fit you can see that for sure there's not uh there's not a lot of room here and there's no TIG welding it's all gas water this is all gas welding and there's no frame it's a monocot chassis which means it's like a series of dog food cans all welded together okay if you get more torsional routine do you think because everybody shares there's a tube chassis or a rectangular chassis it's just that moment the other stuff just hangs on no everything on the car is structural everything is structural well I could talk about this thing all day but we've got so many other cars to talk about and it's a little warm in here yeah yeah we can head off another spot no problem go to another car this thing I'm calling over yeah that's okay fuel tank on both sides yeah all right you wonder why is the gas tank sir there's a logical reason for it because that's where the center of gravity is for the car okay look how far in he is foreign this is your ventilation okay and that's it that's all you got can you imagine how long it took a guy to make that and all the little pieces that he made to build all that oh for sure it's unbelievable now I'll give you a challenge do you want me to get in there go right ahead okay all right I'm doing it glad this is on sale pretzling this is okay Jeff if you can do it I can do it get rid of everything that's going to scratch it get the right idea foreign yeah I remember Dan Gurney was as tall as you how did he do this you put a bubble in the hood in the in the door he doesn't go back I imagine no that's it's not just yeah I know this isn't comfy but it's super cool here's your camera you might want to take a picture this is yeah for sure hey Jeff not that I can see it through the windshield but just just for you know notoriety safe okay so I'm I'm currently sitting in the cockpit of this GT40 um I don't fit I have zero Headroom there is so many cars here we cannot show you everything at this in this particular video we're gonna have to come back Warren's got stuff going on in the shop so it's getting kind of noisy in there but this is his 32 Roadster this was the movie uh just last week uh same as same movie that my Model A was in so we'll touch on this one next time uh we've got and forgive me I'm not an expert on Ford stuff cyclone GT it just sounds cool I don't know anything about this car uh We've obviously touched base on the uh the GT40 the Cobra and those are Originals those aren't kit cars uh the Willies he told us a really powerful story about that car so next time we'll uh we'll explain that I believe this is his 36. uh Ford Roadster this one I don't know like I said I'm probably gonna butcher it 39.40 perhaps uh this one I'm assuming is well it's definitely older because it's got the different style headlights this one might also be a 36. this is a 289 I don't know 289 Mercury definitely a race car at one time or another because it's all roll cage so we're gonna get Warren to explain some more of this stuff this guy here what is that 57 ish again if I messed them up I apologize this one I do know this is 64 Fairlane 500. it's got the Thunderbolt hood on it it's not a thunderbolt car we've got a little Austin Healey here a okay Paul says this is a but then look at this this is pretty phenomenal this is a vintage rail with a Hemi in it but just look at this could you imagine driving this thing here plant your butt there legs go over top of the differential that is sitting right in your crotch this is a whole lot of no thank you it'd be super cool to see it run but could you imagine if that diff blew up you could say goodbye to everything all the important bits of you are going to be gone Old Fort and I'm sorry I I know nothing about these this is what maybe 67 66 yeah it's 67 or something like that yeah something like that old shoebox so that's uh 49 50 51. Mustang 65. this is a 65 Mustang you figure super super cool collection he's got here E7 yeah 45. look at the nose right yeah our top for the T-bird sitting over there at the front Okay there by the sock of tires on a rack reissued Thunderbird so for lightning and this one's got the supercharger in it you said yep yeah five four supercharge nice Little Pony car here I'm probably a six cylinder automatic you think so yeah four no six cylinder automatic for sure so we're not gonna open anything it's super hot out today Warren's in the shop where it's nice and cool this one Warren says it's sold it's a factory built Ford race car Mustang no back seat I don't have any details on it but when we come back to do part two see if you can get a look in the missile like it's got a it's got a Brill bar in it it's it's set up to go fast and then over here look at this stuff all these old signs this stuff's cool there's a Taco Bell deal over there but I have no idea what old style oh it's something little beer you know what that is that's beer I think isn't it I don't know yeah okay all right full shelf sign we don't know what's in behind her we don't want to start digging through his stuff since he's not here this that one that blue in the back is Chevron is that okay that looks like Chevron should very well be but yeah he's just got so many things here there's no way we can do it all in one day quick peek if something's got on the other side there it's a customer car but still it's super cool so we'll show you that one okay so apparently he just got back not that long ago from Nebraska picked this guy up it's another 60 uh Starliner Starliner it's the exact same car that he's got inside the shop other than the one in the shop is been a bit better shape this one you know it's got the the trunk delete option here so but uh must be worth something if he went to Nebraska to get it we're just going to go to the other shop there and show you something else and why wouldn't he have a 71 72 Pantera initial uh customer car apparently uh he showed us some of the the reason why it's in there uh not that one this guy here one of his roller rockers uh isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing and Dave keeps slamming the door sorry about that guys so he's working on this one then he's got a bunch of stuff back there too 48 000 more 48 000 miles on this Pantera so this is what this is a Ford built car yeah that badged there's a DI tomosa is that what uh it says on the back here on the diff I think that's how you pronounce it I think Pantera was a real Manufacturing Company in two four parts to make them oh is that what it was yeah Pantera but based on Ford uh 302 oh you know how many government definitely a cool car driving not so cool but still it's obviously got some value to them yeah it's in here this guy here 70 what year was this camper special 72 Ford camper special he drove this home from Arizona last year this thing is in super nice shape obviously it's got some paint issues but uh Warren will go over this one with us as well next time but I guess it had a camper shell on it its entire life so the bed is in Immaculate shape but yeah he's just got stuck everywhere like dude do the doorbell that's like my new truck doesn't even sound that good and then in the back corner there like who wouldn't have an airboat because we need that for four because we need that here in Manitoba on [Music] I like the way your city sleeps I got the devil looking down on me just got soul to keep on the desert plainly shot them dead as the blood falls on my hands even though those bastards my commands please if I wasn't out wrong I'd show you all my Wicked Ways oh we're going up to the upper mayonnaise okay foreign supercharger this is for that 50 this is my 57 Ford supercharger Jesus how many people have seen one of those on the track and NASCAR band the man for three months after three months they banned this yeah and how did you end up with one well because you're the guy that's all [Applause] all the cool stuff uh no there's only a little bit of it this is the this is some of the cool stuff okay the send some unique stuff here oh for sure and you probably know where everything is pretty much and I know what everything is because of the way the part system works I use decades and and numbers and letters here also okay you see a number like c3af you know exactly what it is you see c2oz you know exactly what that is uh because Ford is a different way of doing it they do everything by numbers they describe the item like a 6250 is a camshaft Okay C is decade number c which all C decades are 60. these are 50s A's are 40s so we see so a c is 60. yeah then three 1963 and o z is based on Fairlane for a high performance 289 with mechanical sold if your camshaft came out on 1963 Fairlanes so it gets a c3oz and the 6250 describes the camshaft and if there's a sub variate there'll be another letter after like an A B C D or a one two three or four oh wow so you can go to any Ford part anytime including today and it'll tell you that what it is like like a differential is a 4209 a carburetor to 9510 so all these numbers take it easy the system works so well it was adopted by the US Army as adopted by the Catholic church it's also the control inventory wow you're in that decade interval idea and it makes a huge huge difference okay so I'm here with Warren he is the most interesting fella that I have met in such a long time anything to do with Ford this guy knows everything like I mean everything um he's actually a Motorsport Hall of Fame recipient from 2015 because this guy has got a background with go ahead one a variety of things I started working on cars as a boy started building Motors as a boy you know uh I'm a more guy I'm a car guy and I like what I do and I had an uncle who was my inspiration he was a Ford flathead guy and he taught me so much stuff most of the stuff that I know today is a spin-off of what he taught me and I remember his name was Jim prep an old Bachelor 's matter to him lived in the same hotel room for 31 years before he bought a house never had a wife never had a girlfriend just as he had his work and he fixed cars He fixated which he fixed all kinds of stuff goes back to the depression very colorful history so his teachings for me were all things that made sense and the whole idea of this whole Hobby you have to be able to put reason and thought and process into it and that's what he taught me everything I do is based on reason development process a lot of physics a lot of mathematics and all that luck has no issue at all it doesn't fit here you know blind luck is just the same some people went blind luck they don't have blind luck you know I I kind of worked my way through it by taking examples from people I totally respected him being one of them and there's many other guys I had my respect for too so basically I've become a Ford guy because he was my dad was a GM guy pretty much his whole life and I just followed along with what he wanted to do anyway the question is about this car this car is in 1964 Starliner it's a unique car this car is an unrestored car it's a completely original except repainted under warranty in 1962 because he won't have complained highly managed to 62 paint job on a 1960 car the mortar's never been rebuilt it's never been reupholstered it's never had accidents that they would make you know whatever I see little few dents and baggage stuff around here it's around 35 original miles blocked off a guy in California who bought it in North Carolina because he knew people at home in the movie that knew about this car and he won this car this car is what they call an HP car HP car meant high performance so it's a 352 four barrel three-speed Overdrive oh so you know like an engine compartment is dirty because it's an understood car it's a driver we drive this car all the time mortar's never been apart never but it makes us a unique car as an HP car it has certain attributes designed these cars were destined to go over the Daytona an ordinary guy could buy with the dealership and you just fill out the form pay the money and any way you went and you got this mortar was a 352 four barrel much like everybody could go buy a three two four barrel car they do one or two but these cars are unique they had limited warranty but they had motorless comprised of special Parts compared to the other 352. the parts that were special to this car are exactly this the block the crankshaft the connecting rods the Pistons the wrist pins the cylinder heads the valves the head gaskets the valve springs the valve spring retainers the push rods the rocker arms uh rocker shafts the exhaust manifolds the carburetor the intake manifold the distributor the generator the front pulley the transmission the clutch the flywheel the drive shaft the front Springs the rear springs front brakes the back brakes a whole drive hold Drive Line seven these were all special built cars and when you got this car brand new in 1960 it was running at the 10 Ford Tri oval to prove its endurance and these cars were guaranteed on the tires that came with 7 10 50 it has 15 inch wheels too by the way the order card 15 inch wheels as far as I know guaranteed to go 145 miles an hour which is pretty heavy stuff back in the day as a matter of fact in 1960 the 64 Starliner with this engine was the fastest car you could buy Road car in America the fastest road car built in North America and this car is 100 stock the motor has never been apart and it still runs well if it's a hoot to drive uh it's very very quick uh it does everything really really well it's one of my favorite cars I love the fact that it's a three-speed standard well three-speed overdrive correct right so there's no forced tea available until late the next year is that right but yeah you see a car like this like how long is this thing 19 feet but the interesting thing is in 1960 wider than the league of William Ford automobile in 1960 and it was bad and a whole bunch of states and they had to go to state legislature to get permission to have these cars to sell them and the condition was that Ford had to promise not making that car that wide anymore so 1961 car is narrower these are three quarters of an inch too wide and the new car is a half an inch narrower than their wow too wide for the lanes too wide for what the designated sizes for them it's crazy so yeah the one that he's got outside that we showed you the one with the the trunk delete yeah yeah that's that was car 14 before this one yeah this is a December 31st car and I said December 17th so they're both very very cars that's pretty identifiable by a few little key features but they're basically the same car you know and they wear the same color that one had a black interior and for some strange reason it had a padded Dash okay you could expect that you see this car is this car right here the guy that I ultimately bought from knew the owner that first bought it and he was gonna go through and be a priest after he shortly after he bought the car and he was short like I am the car has a power seat s highly unusual thing in a performance car absolutely other than that it's got a radio and a clock that's it power steering power bricks not available air conditioning not available all things are their standard for this car because this package it has backup lights nothing about these cars they all come with electric wipers because they couldn't make enough vacuum to run the wiper setup with them on a camshaft right and so therefore they had to find a way to make the wires reliable and these cars got electrical wipers playing next one the identifying features if you see a factory HP car you look to see what's called electric wipers and that's the way you got you had to buy the car to get the wipers that's very cool anyways we're running out of time for this one we've got so much more to look at like we'll explain what what this is next time um we're not going to tell you right now we got a whole bunch of engines over here that I need Warren to explain because they are in its own some very special stuff there so we'll be back running out of time it's super hot outside we're going to show you the rest of those other cars he's gonna fire it up because that's what car guys do let's do it again
