The HOLY GRAIL of Fords - Top 10 Ford Muscle Cars EVER SOLD

That's a list I agree with.

You left out the best of them all, 1969 Boss 429 Mustang. Maybe the most valuable today too.

The 428 Cobra Jet was available in 1968 Mustangs, Cougars, Fairlane/Ranchero. The 428 CJ carried over to 1970 in the Mustang and Cougar. The Boss 351 was available in many colors, not just 2!! (The Chevy Camaro had the Z option starting in the year it first came out, 1967 and continued on from there, not 1970) Ford colors are called "Grabber" and the same exact color on a Mercury was called "Competition". Ford won the TransAm series in 1970 in a Boss 302. The Mach 1 was also available in 1971. The Torino Cobra came out in 1969, (different body, with a 428 Cobra Jet) and concluded in 1971. Interesting, the video says the Torino Cobra came with a 4 speed manual, yet the video feature car shows the optional automatic. The Shelby GT500 was produced from 1967 to 1970. (old school models, not counting the new stuff) The highest horsepower rating available on the '68 Torino would have been the 428 CJ at 335. No 427's were available from the factory for the Torino. The 289's were used in very early '68 as there were leftovers from '67 production, then phased over to the 302. HOLY COW, got everything right on the Talladega!!! Cougars had 4 speeds available since they came out in 1967. There were 4 colors only available for the Eliminator in 1969. Competition white/orange/yellow and Bright Blue Metallic. The blue Cougar at the end is a 1970, dressed in Competition Blue. Perhaps a little more research next time boys??

WOW how in the heck did he leave the 1969 Boss 429 mustang out of this list....??? 🤔🤔🤔

The 68 1/2 GT was the first mustang to have the 428 CJ

The 2nd gen Lightning was made for 6 model years, from 1999-2004. And you could get them in red, black, two different blues, silver, white, and gray (which I thought looked the best).

My grandmother was born in 1905. She only had Studebakers. When she needed a new car in 1968, my uncle helped her buy a new Volvo. She ended up hating the Volvo and decided she would buy a new car on her own. She went to the Ford dealer and told the salesman she wanted something with some passing power. She bought a new 1970 Torino Corbra with a 429 Cobra Jet. It did not have a hood scoop. Some sources on the Internet claim there were only about six 1970 Torino Cobras with 429 Cobra Jet engines without hood scoops made, but I don't know if that is accurate.

There are a lot of errors in this: Boss 351s were most definitely available in more than two colors, among others.

I've been out of the muscle car and Mustang restoration scene for a while now, and I may be completely ignorant, but the 428 Cobra Jet was available in the 1968 1/2 Mustang. Hot Rod magazine tested it and ran the quarter mile in 13.56 seconds. Bob Tasca is kind of credited with creating the 428 Cobra Jet. The Mustang Mach 1 with 428 CJ was available in 1969 and 1970, as was the Boss 302. The Boss 302 Mustang was intended to compete on the Trans Am circuit in the 5.0 liter classification against the 1967-1969 Chevy Z28, which had a 302 cid engine as well, albeit the Chevy small block. The 1971 SCJ Mach 1 was a 429 thin wall "385" series, unlike the 428SCJ which was part of the "FE" Y-block family which harkens back to the 352 cubic inch engine displacement of the 1950s. The 1970 & 1971 Gran Torino Cobra Jets were also of the 429 CJ "385" version. GT500s were produced from 1967 to 1970 but Carroll Shelby was pretty much out of the picture by 1970. The 1971 Boss 351 is rare but was available in many other colors such as Grabber Blue. It may have been intended to compete with the Chevy Z28 Camaro, but the Camaro was now a 2nd generation body and featured a 350 cubic inch engine, the top tier possibly known as the LT-1. The Chevy Camaro Z28 was introduced in 1967. The Boss colors were referred to as "Grabber" yellow, blue, red, white, et al. Ford also produced a Cobra Jet 351 for the 1971 year. Ford produced Mach 1 Mustangs in 1971 alongside the Boss 351, the most popular color, seemingly, was Grabber Yellow. The Boss 351 would be replaced with the 351 H.O. The Cougar Eliminator was the Mercury version of the Boss 302 and 428 CJ Mach 1 and featured all the specs as the Ford counterpart including all of the Grabber colors. As for anything else in this video, I am pleading ignorance.

Completely missed the Australian built Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3. More iconic/collectable and valuable than just about all of these.

I had a Boss 302 bought off the showroom floor in Canada in 1969. Wonderful car - went like Hell - never found out it's top speed, I chickened out at 135 mph! Zero to 60 in about 5 seconds, (better time than most on this list) but it was still in second gear - man, that 302 Cleveland could rev! It was a DOG around town - could hardly get it out of second gear - but get it on the highway and WOOOWOOOO!! Got did of the shitty tires the first time I needed tires - put on Michelin radials - and I thought it went around corners nice before, but that turned it into rocket around the corners - and they were guaranteed for 50,000 miles! I drove it 180,000 miles in just over 4 years, most of it on mountain roads in British Columbia, winter and summer (rally studded tires all four corners in the winter), it never let me down one time - even in 40 below weather. Changed the oil and filter religiously every 4000 miles - hardly used a drop. Only ever touched the motor for tune-ups - had the rocker covers off ONCE, and put a new clutch in ONCE - and I drove it like Hell! The best thing that Ford ever made as far as I'm concerned - and I still drive a Ford here in New Zealand! Would hate to think what that Acapulco Blue rocketship is worth now!!

I bought a new Talladega off the showroom floor in 1969. The wife made me put air and a radio in it. Those cars were true "sleepers". They were much lighter than they appeared. With radio delete, no underlayment or undercoating, rubber floor mats, no air and some with heater delete, they averaged about 3500lbs. Even though it was a super speedway bruiser, I just had to put 2-4s on it with an aggressive cam. It was the baddest street-driven stock car I've ever owned. In my town, everybody had Z-28s, which I regularly blew away at the stoplights, because of the 3:50 gear I swapped to. They came from the factory with a 3:00 and a 180mph speedo. All were automatics.

1971 BOSS 351 was offered in the following colors (production numbers in parentheses) Raven Black (131) Light Pewter Metallic (297) White (120) Bright Red (186) Bright Blue Metallic (246) Dark Green Metallic (136) Medium Yellow Gold (67) Grabber Blue (131) Grabber Lime (67) Grabber Yellow (344) Grabber Green Metallic (77) Calypso Coral (4)

Beautiful video! My brother and I were lucky enough to refurbish muscle cars as young policemen. This brings back many great memories.. Thank you!

Just as I thought, you missed the mark. The best performing Fords were the '63 Galaxie lightweight w/ the 427FE R-Code engine & the '66-'67 Fairlane w/ the 427FE R-Code. It was the 427FE engine that powered the Ford GT40's in '66 & '67 prototypes to overall wins at LeMans & many NASCAR wins in the Fairlane/Torino/Cyclone. The Fairlane R-Codes were also sold to the public. Unlike the lightweight Galaxie which was only sold to racers. It's to bad Ford didn't follow the lead of Carroll Shelby & the numerous race victories he earned. Ford Jr. was only about the money & beating Enzo Ferrari, but he had no drive to continue racing to better his cars.

I worked as an hourly employee for the Ford Engine plant here in Lima, Ohio. We built the 428 Cobra and Super Cobra Jet engines. We also built the Boss 429 motor. Why did you not mention the Boss 302 or Boss 429 mustangs? You should also know that the Boss 351 mustang also came in black. Also, the Boss 302 was built in 1969 to compete with the Camero Z28 302 on the Trans-Am circuit. Every Ford car show I have ever attended had very few cougars they are not that highly collectable.

The Boss 429 is missing from this list. Also, there are more modern cars like the 1995 Mustang Cobra R. Only 250 of those were produced and Ford got a 351 W both EPA and CARB certified just for those 250 cars (arguably, Saleen got a 351w EPA/CARB certified as well, but it was his own proprietary engine vs. a Ford factory item like the '95 Cobra R's engine).

Cobrajet came out in 68 &1/2 and mach 1 with that engine were built in 69 and 70

Loved the video mate! I really liked the 71 boss Mustang because it ran the exact same drive line as the four door super salon here in Australia know as the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3, right down to the 4v heads. You lads over there in Detroit really hooked us up with a killer power plant!

Bought new a '68 Torino 390GT/4 speed which was the largest engine through most of the year. Ford added the 427/428 FE engines late in the year as really pre production '69 Torinos - and I never saw a single one of them. While the Torino never matched my '63 406/405 Galaxie 500XL in performance, did a lot better when I installed the 406's tri power and the Ford 7000 mechanical camshaft and kit. I sure do miss those days!
