My bucket list gets another check in this very special Episode 50 of "A couple laps with Kirk!". I'm in Tom Pritchett's newly acquired Shelby GT350 and I've got a closed course to play on. The car is having some teething pains after being locked up for many years but we're doing our best to dust off the cobwebs. Thanks Tom!

The sound, the color, the driving… Sweet!! I’m reassembling a 66 that I’m doing a 350 tribute with.. hope to be off the rotisserie this summer, now my mouth is really watering…(and I live in idaho so spokane is close enough to drive)

Love the color spec. Gorgeous.

Nice sound. 65-66 fastback mustang is my favorite mustang body style. Back in 87 aan Army buddy and I found a GT 350 IN a field about 20 miles outside of Fort Bragg NC. Someone had cut t-tops out of the roof. They also molded a fin from the front all the way to the back. So sad.

Nice, and those motors are awesome. My buddy is a Chevy guy and built several chevy engines trying to out do my little hipo.

I had heating issues with my 289 also dont know what your running for radiator but what solved my problem was going to a single pass all aluminum cross flow the biggest i could get fit in a 67 mustang with dual fans and shroud, hard pipe in-between with silicon hose joints running a 180 deg thermostat. No oil cooler and in 100 deg weather it will stay around 200 to 210deg running hard. Just my 2 cents

@mcmotorsportsdesign6197 10 месяцев назад

This one was stored for quite a while. This was it's maiden trip to the track after that long hiatus. It was shedding all of the scale that had built up in the block and was clogging the radiator. We just kept pulling it and flushing it out. Its better now.

@@mcmotorsportsdesign6197 glad to hear that overheating sucks . Nicely balanced 289"s are hard to beat .

@davidgraham7325 10 месяцев назад

This is what we did for our 289

@MrSloika Год назад

That 289 is a little screamer of a mill. Yes, there are engines that make more power per cube, but that sounds like a proper V8.

@Loulovesspeed 11 месяцев назад

@MrSloika - The 289 with 4 Weber Carbs in the Daytona Coupe puts out just under 400 hp. What other 4.7 liter road racing engine do you know that put out that kind of power at that time? Peter Brock hit 197 mph at Le Mans in his #5 car. 🤠🏆 🏁

My dad had one, it was a race car built by a local racer. It scared me as a kid when dad got on it. Lol😊

@Contractnik 11 месяцев назад

My Dad had a hot car that had a brutal engine note like the Shelby - a 1976 Ferrari 512 BB - and he had it piped so it sounded like it was in the paddock at Le Mans when he'd crank it up, and it would scare the SHIT out of me! hahahahahaha! If he did it at night, even more so. Later, I acquired a standard 65 fastback that I Shelbyized according to spec - other than the side-pipes - and he drove it and said, "WTF was I wasting all that money on Ferraris for??? You paid what for this? It's like a 275 or 330, for crissakes!" Yup. American Ferrari. Suck it, Enzo.

Is this the old Raceway Park?

@mcmotorsportsdesign6197 Год назад

Yup. That track is the old Spokane Raceway Park.

I'd rather have a good used private jet for what this car "costs"

@bigl6322 11 месяцев назад

I dunno… I’m working on a 66 GT clone that will definitely compete with this one. I expect to be in under $40k. Not sure I’m comfortable in the air in anything I can find for that price. Hell, you can barely buy a truck for that money these days. (I don’t need a pedigree to have this kind of fun, lol)
