Instead of cutting up the existing guagepanel i'd make a new panel, put the speedo in the middle and rearrange the other guages so all of them fit. Making a new aluminium panel is too easy to sacrifice any guages for, certainly on a car like this. For the turnsignals you could go the Ferrari way, add a button left and right on the steering wheel. For the theft proofing, there's switches like the red one currently on the car but with build in key lock. Also, i would recommend to add an extra hidden ignition breaker switch as backup safety. That clutch might feel awkward now but as you said yourself, that's just a case of getting comfortable with it. Anyway, that's one awesome piece of history you got there. To me, the black/gold Hertz version is the most beautiful of the 350's made back then. You're a lucky guy.

If anyone can have a dedicated race car, it is a man who sold 22 cars and still has 20 cars. Go race. Get the license. Enjoy the experience and share it with us so we can see what it is like to get started as a gentleman racer.

Tyler, congratulations on buying 6S727 from the owner of 6S1523! That is a VERY cool car, you can add just enough "street" features to make is safe and comfortable on public roads without having to give up much of the B-Production race car nature. Vintage Shelby ownership is all about community and most of us are a very welcoming bunch, feel free to reach out.

Tyler, this unique GT 350H is special because of its racing history. It may even be a "one-of-one" because of that provenance and history. Dialing it back to be streetable, in my opinion, violates that a bit. My hope is that you will raise the skill level and continue to enjoy it as the track beast that it has become.

My guess is that he keeps it for about 4 months, never drives it because it’s not a great street driver, then sells it.

I reckon the wizard was a pretty solid mechanic when he started working with Tyler, but by now he must be a literal fucking wizard with all the weird crap Hoovie's brought him. People like that are worth their weight in gold. He should do a mechanical engineering masterclass or something.

I think you’re absolutely nuts for modifying anything at all on this car. I’d just maintain it and add the Shelby Speedometer in an easily reversible mount as similar to the tachometer as I could make it. Learning to drive with the clutch you already have would be far preferable to any modifications you might opt to do there.

In case no one has mentioned it you need to turn the close off valve on the accusump before turning off the engine. Otherwise the oil just pours back into the engine. You can fit a solenoid to do it .

Dude, it's 2021. The security feature is that stick with a ball on it and the third pedal.

Imagine Tyler getting pulled over 😂 Officer: Do you know how fast you were going ? Tyler: I'd love to know 😂

I’d get a new aluminium panel and fit the speedo, rpm and fuel tank level together with a key to arm the push to start. Definitely would also fit a hidden switch as a backup against theft.

The fact that the Wizard screams like a 14 y.o. girl in it, and hanging onto his dear beard to survive shows what an incredible machine this must be! That part was priceless fun! :D

Dude. Forget the Speedo. Run a gps on the street. Fuel gauge is a no bueno too. Just go by mileage. It’s a race car dude. You better figure out your accusump before you blow it up. ALWAYS on a race motor turn main power ON and ignition OFF then crank until the oil pressure gauge moves. THEN ignition on and start.

Only Hoovie would buy a race car and try to make it a daily when he has 20 other cars.

The sound of that Mustang 😍😍😍😍. What a car, you can keep the Lambos.

Holy. Mother. Of. God! That thing sounds SO GOOD!! I know electric cars are the future. And I know they can be faster than any gasoline-powered car if they're designed right. But, damn, I'm going to miss that SOUND!! We need to keep these old things running so we can hear this kind of glorious noise from time to time.

Accusump has ball valve, you need to close it while engine is still running to capture the oil pressure which can be used to prime the engine. It is basically a oil battery which helps in a oil pressure loss situation while racing. Also you dont want to lose that fuel pressure gauge if there is no lambda to monitor the air fuel ratio.

40 miles to get to Wizards, wow that is a new discovery as loyal viewer to both channels. Driving 40 miles to your garage when you own dozens of cars, now thats loyalty.

Amazing they actually gave you the inspection to make it road legal. Up here in the northeast, I had a hard enough time getting an inspection on my stock Fiat 500 Abarth because of the factory exhaust, they had to look at engineering diagrams to make sure it wasn't modified. Meanwhile this thing has basically straight pipes, no turn signals, no reverse lights, etc?!!

At one point, my brother owned a Hertz Shelby GT350, but by the time he got it, it was just the body & frame, pretty much everything else had been replaced a few times over. He put in a crate 289 paired with a Holley 650 double pumper carb that really sucked the gas down. Someone had even previously installed air shocks in the back so we’d go down to the local gas station and jack the back end way up before going out on the town. Good times. Thanks for the memories, Tyler, and enjoy your streetable (?) race car. She’s purrrty.

hoovie: buys a purpose built race car also hoovie: this thing is scary on regular roads

Nope, they did NOT ruin a perfectly good Mustang. Great purchase Hoov.

The intro of this video was the best / funniest I've seen from either Hoovie or The Wizard. I loved it (and laughed my butt off)!

I absolutely love how far the wizard has come come out of his shell from just a few short years ago.

I love how Tyler truly loves every kind of car, instead of only one brand

When you already have 30 really nice cars that are great on the road, why buy a track-prepared vintage car and then modify it to make it comfortable on the road and so less focussed on the track?

The Accusump system works like a constantly pressurized dry sump. It does help with adding oil pressure to the bearings during start-up, provided the pressure hasn't leaked down and the solenoid opens prior to the engine spinning, but its primary function is keeping oil pressure during high speed corners. The very thing that destroyed the Apollo 911 Porsche engine and the first LT engine you installed.

I enjoy watching Tyler demonstrate clutch engagement, but can't help but wonder how many viewers have never driven a manual and have no idea what he's talking about.

If it was me, I think I'd remove the original instrument panel and fabricate a new panel with more user-friendly gauges and warning lights in it. That way, you can always put it back how it was if you sell it. Hopefully, it'll be possible to fit windows in the doors without making any irreversible changes. For security, I'd suggest buying a simple remote-control switch and then hooking it up to a high-powered relay hidden up behind the dashboard somewhere to isolate the starter button.

A lot of parts on the older Lambo’s and Ferrari’s come originally from Alfa Romeo and Lancia. My Rotor and Rotor Cap broke on my LM002, Lamborghini wanted 2780 Euros for both parts, I bought the exact same parts from Alfa for 78 Euros. Nice mark up for just having the logo on the plastic pouch the part comes in.

It’s also easy to see that the on switch is where the lighter use to be and the little open hole is where the ignition switch/start key goes. DO NOT CUT OR MODIFY CURRENT PARTS! Take off, keep and replace the parts with the stock components.

What a great car! I immediately ordered the shirt cause I love mustangs and your KZfaq channel! Can't wait to see you race it!

The accusump system also feeds oil to the car when you have a low oil pressure issue on the track. So the things that happened to Apollo 911 don’t happen.

To simplify it an accusump is a pressurized piston that holds oil for when the engine sees a drop in oil pressure, the piston pushes extra oil and pressure into the engine to prevent damage. They make an electric valve for it that you can pick what pressure you want it to send oil at, and it will do it automatically when the car sees power so you don’t have to flip a valve every start up. Also, having fuel pressure is a good thing, with all those aftermarket parts some may fail and if the engine goes lean (too much air, not enough fuel) you engine grenade it self quickly Another thing to note, race cars are made really stiff, they literally will vibrate apart, on my race car we do a nut and bolt after every day at the track, you’d be amazed what will shake itself loose with all the solid mounts and harsh driving

Good to see you out in the Mustang!!!! My mustang never had the transmission back up light switch....so when I rebuilt my car I added a toggle switch, to turn on the back ups, to the radio block off plate in the center of the dash. Easy to reach and easy to install.

I wasn't sure about this one.. But hearing it becoming more of a daily driver and getting to appreciated for more then a track car I think is awesome.

The Accusump does have a manual ball valve. To make the system "Hoovie" friendly, I would add an electric solenoid that turns on with the main power switch. When the main switch is on, the solenoid valve will open and allow oil to pre-charge the engine. When the engine is running, the Accusump acts like a oil battery and buffers oil pressure loss in high G turns if the sump is exposed. (A Accusump would have saved Apollo911) When the main switch is turned off, the engine stops and the solenoid valve will close and capture the current engine oil pressure in the Accusump, ready for the next pre-charge / engine start event.

Hey Hoovie, you want to be careful with racing belts on the road. If you are using them you should have a helmet and hans device. Even a low speed collision could cause major injury to your neck. Regular belts allow some movement which the racing belts dont

Best car you own by a long shot. This is an awesome car. Keep the old panel and make a new one so it can be put back.

Awesome ride!! Congrats on an epic purchase! My dream Shelby is the red with gold stripes. Something to consider is to inspect those foam insulators over the roll bar. If you do take it to a track you want the type that won't melt and stick to you in an emergency situation. Definitely something to check on and look over to see what kind they are.

27:57 Well Tyler, unlike Apollo 911, the Shelby GT350H actually was built for racing on the track. After Wizard gets done replacing all the fluids and spark plugs and fixing the leaks, this piece of automotive history should be ready to go out onto a race track. I can't wait for that video.

Hoovie: "$1600 each???!!! Surely, you've got something else for me???" Wizard: "I have got something else. And don't call me Shirley."

hands down, the best automotive channel ion youtube, combination on Hoovie and Wizard is just magical!!!

Wizard’s voice in the intro driving scene sounds like a supercharger whine🤣

"Yeah right, it's a full racing engine... btw who needs an oil pressure gauge..." I can already foresee the future where Hoovie is punching this thing down a race track on zero oil pressure...

The sound emitted from that beauty is like thunder and lightening the whole time it’s running … what a machine!

THIS IS HOW GOOD PEOPLE SAVE HISTORY TOGETHER

That just sounds amazing. Considering how long it sat, just having some oozing leaks is pretty darn impressive. With luck, the repairs won't be that expensive on this one. I don't know how secure a keyed ignition switch is going to be given the back of the switch will be accessible. I'd put a hidden timer kill switch in as well.

Congratulations on the car Hoovie! With all the great content you've put out throughout the years, you deserve it.

For Pete’s sake stop calling it Group B. Group B was the short lived very exciting but ultimately deadly 1980s Rally classification. What you’ve got is an SCCA “B Production” car. Hence the “BP” on the doors. Say it correctly.

Happily subscribed to your channel. You have a nice way about your presentation that is unpretentious, and I also enjoy wizards’ manner.

Tyler and Wizard, the Accusump system is meant to be FILLED and pressurized BEFORE turning off the engine. Raise the RPM a little, then close the valve while it is revving. That stores engine oil in the tank under pressure. Before re-starting the engine when it is cold, you open the valve to allow the pressurized oil to push into the engine and it gives it a oil boost which coats the internals and minimizes internal damage.

Great video. My fave, but only so far. I think the Paddock sells those aluminum dash blanks for like 85 bucks. And you cut your own gauge holes. Starving a race motor is a reliable way to ventilate pistons, might rethink losing the FP gauge. There is enough room to add speedo and tank level. I put a 12 volt valve on my engine oil accumulator (Jeep). Triggered it to run wire on ignition switch. It opens to prelube on start and closes when I kill the ignition with the accumulator pressured up. No more reach around, unless you like that sort of thing.

This channel is my cure whenever I think mankind is not headed off a steep cliff of its own making.

On the winking 308: It's a broken contact (copper lip) in the tiltmotor that shorts the stopping point. It may even reverse the power through the other motor and that's wat makes it do the dance

those accusumps are used to pump oil thru the crank bearings on or before start up ,plus if the oil pick up is uncovered, some use air pressure others use a spring

Ah the lovely unstreetable level my fox body reached before I sold it. amazing how we spend 10s of thousands of dollars to create a total inconvenience and miserable street experience....but the smiles per mile economy was waaayy improved

I would add an A pillar gauge cluster and just move the gauges to move there it's a race engine and on the track you want to be aware of anything losing power on the track

David was totally on fire in this video! So many innuendos, Tyler could barely keep up! :-D Also amused we got Hoovie checking which gag line the Wizard was going to use...

It’s an older gentleman in my neighborhood with a 1969 Shelby gt500 he had since it was new and it’s never been restored the car is BEAUTIFUL

Hoovie, a fully caged car should never be a street driver. If it’s caged, you should have a helmet. If you’re wearing a helmet, you should have a HANS device.

the accusump needs to be shut off when the motors running usually rev the motor up to about 3000 to give it around 70 pounds in the sump then shut off the sump and turn the car off, by doing so allows the car to have enough oil in the top end when starting next time to prevent damage. good luck - beautiful car

You guys are killing me in a good way, when you both took the car out. :-) I feel like Mrs. wizard has a lot of stories I could use if I could just get her drunk enough to tell me.

This is the most excited I’ve been for one of your cars!

So let me get this straight, you sold a perfectly streetable mustang, to buy a race car to convert to a streetable mustang???? There’s only one thing race cars are good for and that’s racing.

It really Hertz your wallet, that's for sure.

Man just seemed like yesterday Tyler was hitting golf balls off the top of a 90’s Lincoln and look at him now. Congrats on the success. You deserve this Shelby

That was fun!...Watching the Wizard while you were getting on it was priceless!

So, Hoovie has on his 5 point harness and Wizard is just on his own? He really is the magic man.

‘We could lose the fuel pressure gauge, that’s probably the least important.’ Two weeks later: gauge becomes the most important.

This is the most interesting of all the Hoovie purchases. What a great car!

I've always been a Ford Mustang fan. I love that Ford kicked Ferrari's ass at the Le Mans racetrack in 66', 67', 68', and 69'. It's good to see that not much needs doing. Thanks.

I love seeing Hoovie so excited! And that Mustang is gorgeous!

Keep in mind that in Kansas a Highway Patrol vehicle inspection is really only a VIN Verification inspection and really only necessary when bringing a vehicle in from another State or converting from a "non-highway" title status to a full, tagged and street-able title status. They don't look it over for safety and DOT compliance stuff. God bless Kansas.

13yr old pre-pubescent humor gets me every time! Thank you. That GT is sweet!

Love your content!

Hoovie, keep the fan off until the temp gauge starts to move if you want it to warm up faster! Installing a thermostat is probably a good idea though.

Well, your accusump does play an important role because what it's doing is ensuring your motor has enough oil so you don't blow the motor. When you are racing you can run into the issue where just the oil pump itself is not feeding the motor enough oil. That accusump holds pressurized oil and if you have a drop in oil pressure it will feed that oil to the motor. It's not really overcomplicated and scary just more so a safety feature for racing motors.

I loved it when the Wizard was squealing in the car with his beard flying. It reminded me of Mr. Ford in movie Ford versus Ferrari.

The wizard shrieking under acceleration had me ☠️ lol

Swap out a set of doors with all of the functions: locks, windows, etc. Keep the others and swap when you want to track it. If you want to make this a street car, sell it and buy one that hasn’t been modded for the track. It’s a beautiful car and I fully realize it’s yours to do what you want, but please leave it as it is.

The beard blowing back was epic

The Wizard's scream sounds like a hellcat blower spooling up... I need that soundtrack for my vehicles

I had no idea how much I needed wizard screams in my life.

You have to give Carroll Shelby thumbs up for building this. I dunno what he and his guys were smoking at the time, but damn! Leave it as is. Don't screw around with it.

They sell racing fuel at at least one gas station here in East Tennessee. It's at a Pilot off Interstate 40 off exit 355, and I guess it's for people heading east to Bristol.

High compression and side pipes are a great thing. I think people forget that really the high comp really gives a certain note to where side pipes alone are good, but both is the best.

The Wizz making that noise at the beginning made my day...

Wizard's face when you did the pull was the best part of this video.

Tyler adopts the phrase, “Drive it like you bought it”😂

I think your modified Prowler video is some of your best work. And it looked to fit your speed and needs! The burnout was epic!

Hoovie this a awesome video, the wizard taking a little ride...lol

I have never been jealous of your Lambos, Bentleys or anything else in your fleet except for the Z8 and this GT350H. You are a lucky, lucky man, Tyler.

You’re going to want to keep that fuel pressure gauge, oil temp, oil pressure and voltage especially if you’re going to track it, if you ever loose fuel pressure you’ll lean it out snd boom, you can add pillar gauges for the pressures and put the Speedo and fuel level where the others were.

Tyler, You are SUPREMELY entertaining! I look forward to your 1 billionth view.

Guilty pleasure: Hearing the Wizard scream 😅😅

I encourage you to embrace what the car actually is and enjoy the experience. Do the real race car thing and put stickers on the tach at certain speeds for certain gears. Most guys will label 3rd and 4th with different color round stickers. 3rd with say 30 and 40 and 4th with 50, 60, and 70. Plus when you equip for different setups, you just change have to change the stickers instead of tinker speedometer drive gears that probably won't be any more accurate anyhow.

It’s just like my 70 challenger RT, no speedo or turn singles , makes your ear ring every time you drive .. 4 mpg ... it’s the best worst car to own

Tylers bottom lip when the wizard was slating it! He's getting the British sense of humour, I PMSL! And i'm a Brit!

Wizard screaming at the first part of the video was hilarious. 😂🤣😂🤣
