This is car #207, a Revology 1965 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback in Porsche Jet Black Metallic with Ferrari Cuoio leather interior. The Revology 1965 and 1966 Mustangs have very subtle differentiation—the Revology 1965 GT models feature the honeycomb grille and the standard Mustang fuel cap, while the 1966 models have the horizontal bar grille and GT fuel cap. All Revology 1965 and 1966 GT models feature styled aluminum wheels, GT badges and side stripe, and exhaust tips exiting through the rear valance. #207 has the optional 6-dial cluster with aluminum trim. We love the Jet Black on Cuoio combination, which is sophisticated, yet sporty. https://lnkd.in/eNYP5PAq

For Sale: Yesterday’s comments of note: A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday: "SO glad the demo of the power clamshell tailgate is included in the video. (You have to get all the way to the end to see it.) Truly one of the coolest features to come out of General Motors in the '70s. I guess today a trendy marketing person would label it "disrupting," "game changing," "mic-drop feature," and so forth. But in 1970, they probably just called it "innovative."" 12 CarFoolLane commented on No Reserve: 1974 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Wagon "My family has an authentic Mile-a-Minute and I am very familiar with these cars. The MaM has a special significance in that they are considered to be amongst the first dual-purpose road-race cars for sale offered to the general public. The car “will make satisfactory showing in any amateur speed or hill climbing contest” per the original sales literature. The MaM is very similar in performance to a Stutz and a Mercer. I’ve been fortunate enough to drive some very special cars, and I…" 12 Robianuario commented on 1911 Hudson Model 33 Mile-A-Minute Roadster Re-Creation "Big three done and some. This is truly a need nothing car. As mentioned earlier, the car truly is a cherry." 10 ealarax commented on No Reserve: 26k-Mile 2003 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed "What a marvelous pool of knowledge exists within the BAT community when Apex has such expert knowledge that he can assist the seller. Great to be able to read and absorb that wealth of expertise!" 7 Pubecanoe commented on Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Re-Creation http://dlvr.it/T5Qb5P Bringatrailer.com #carsofinstagram #carporn #classiccar

What a spec - the Aston Martin Valkyrie! A F1-inspired road car built in collaboration with Red Bull Racing and headed by Adrian Newey himself. A prime example of function & form blending seamlessly. Power comes first from a naturally aspirated Cosworth 6.5L V12, making around 1000hp. The engine is then supplemented with another 140hp from a small e-motor that utilizes a KERS system to regenerate power. Bringing the total power output to 1140hp. That power is then routed to the wheels via a 7-Speed Automated Manual. This particular example has a fade finish, going from Hyper Red to Pure Black. Carbon accents fill out the exterior look. The interior is trimmed in Pure Black Alcantara with Spicy Red Stitching. A solid spec all-around. Only 150 Coupes will ever be made, with every example spec'd to the customer's tastes. Making each special in their own right. #astonmartin #valkyrie #hypercar #cosworth #v12 #hybrid #performance #speed #uk 🇬🇧 #Anis_Maaouia

#GRRnews #gallery 🚘📸 Following in the footsteps of the Bacalar and Batur Coupe is the Batur Convertible; which, like the coupe with which it shares a name and much of its aesthetics, will be very exclusive and very expensive. #goodwood #goodwoodelevenses The Goodwood Group #autos #autosport #automotive #automotiveindustry #automotiveinnovation #cars #racing #sports #classiccar #classiccars #motorracing #motorsport

Classic car values for a particular model can vary widely simply based on body style. This 1957 Chevy Bel Air Sport Sedan (Four Door Hardtop) is a prime example as it can bought for half the cost of a similar two-door hardtop: https://lnkd.in/e9PcTJwa

TOP TIME B01 FORD MUSTANG • The 1960s was a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether cruising on a motorcycle or revving up a sportscar, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Breitling felt this change of pace and set out to design an unconventional chronograph that would capture the verve of era. He called it the Top Time. That spirited tradition continues today with Breitling partnering with some of the coolest names in wheels to create its Top Time designs. The first-generation Ford Mustang, produced from 1964 to 1974, became the car of choice for hitting the road in hip 1960s America. This living legend is still in production, but car buffs know that the coolest of all were those very first models that captured the freewheeling spirit of the sixties. The Top Time B01 Ford Mustang features the colors and emblem of its classic-car counterpart as well as a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale and contrasting “squircle” (not quite square, not quite round) subdials that give the feel of vintage dashboard gauges. It also comes with a brag-worthy engine under the hood: the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. #breitling #b01 #toptime #mechanical #chronograph #luxurywatch #watchesofinstagram #fordmustang #classiccars #musclecars

Brian (hipster hair) Lohnes The idea of a 1.5L V16 seems hilarious by modern racing standards, especially to us in the land of BangShift where 900-cube V8s are prowling drag strips. That being said, in the world of Formula One racing back in the early 1950s engine designers had a choice. They could design a 4.5L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L blower motor. BRM (British Racing Motors) decided to go the 1.5L route with their V16. It sported a comical 1.95-inch bore and 1.9-inch stroke. It was capable of 12,000 rpm and when equipped with a Rolls-Royce two stage centrifugal blower the engine made 600hp. Reportedly that Rolls blower was forcing 82 pounds of boost through the engine! Interestingly, the engine featured two valves per cylinder. We’re guessing the tiny bore may have been a factor in that. These valves make Buick Nailhead valves look massive! How about 1.25in on the intake and 1.09in on the exhaust? It’s no wonder why Formula One cars were revered so much back in this era. An engine like this in a custom racing chassis was the space shuttle of the day. The payoff to this history lesson is the video below. It’s a bunch of static photos strung together, but the soundtrack is freaking magical. It’s audio of a BRM V16 powered Formula One car making laps. It is auditory gearhead porno. Who knew 1.5L could sound this good?! #engineering #automotive #engineeringsolutions #F1

Essential for all car collectors. It is silver and has wings:
