| How a 1967 Mustang Can Run with Modern Supercars | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:30:09 | |
When your position is to build, under a bespoke license from Shelby, turn Ford Mustangs into carbon fiber Shelby race cars, you've got my attention. Welcome Igor Polegkiy to Ford Mustang: The Early Years Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application ============ Do you own an early-year Mustang? No If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name? My favorite from last year was Open Road, a beautiful 1967 GT500CR Carbon (prototype) that I raced at Sonoma. We called her Open Road because it was the dealer that owned it. But she saw the open road many, many times for a 1-of-1 prototype. Are you in the business of selling, modifying, repairing, or restoring Classic Mustangs? Yes Are you a supplier of products to Mustang and Classic Car enthusiasts? Yes If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done? We build, under a bespoke license from Shelby, turn Ford Mustangs into carbon fiber Shelby racecars. We work directly with race chassis manufacturers, Shelby American, and our unique vendors to push the legacy of not only Ford but Carroll Shelby forward. What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car? Our goal is to primarily continue innovating the 60s design for modern practical use. There is a right and wrong way to build a racecar - we do it the right way, the Texas way.

| From a $50 Junkyard Mustang to a Garage Full of Show Winners | 16 Sep 2026 | 01:01:04 | |
Episode Guest: Charles Coats, serial first-generation Mustang owner The trifecta of classic Mustangs—the coupe, convertible, and fastback—captures the essence of 1960s American automotive culture. The coupe, with its sleek and timeless design, offered a balance of style and practicality. The convertible embodied freedom and the open road, perfect for those who wanted to feel the wind in their hair while cruising. The fastback, known for its sporty and aerodynamic silhouette, appealed to performance enthusiasts with its powerful presence and racing pedigree. Each model played a crucial role in establishing the Mustang as an iconic and beloved American muscle car. The first-generation Mustangs, produced from 1964.5 to 1967, marked the birth of one of America's most iconic cars. The Mustang was introduced by Ford on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. Initially dubbed the "1964.5" model, it was technically a 1965 model-year vehicle. The Mustang's launch was a groundbreaking moment in automotive history, creating the "pony car" class of American muscle cars—affordable, compact, and sporty cars with long hoods and short rear decks. The 1965 Mustang came in three body styles: coupe, convertible, and fastback, each offering a variety of engine options, from the economical inline-six to the powerful V8s. The car's design, affordability, and performance made it an instant hit, selling over 400,000 units in its first year and surpassing a million within two years. In 1966, the Mustang continued to evolve with minor aesthetic updates, including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers, and gas cap. The car also became more customizable, with new interior and exterior options. By 1967, the Mustang received its first significant redesign to accommodate larger V8 engines and provide a more aggressive stance. The 1967 models featured a more robust front and rear end, revised interior, and improved suspension, making it a favorite among performance enthusiasts. Throughout its early years, the Mustang's combination of style, performance, and affordability cemented its status as a symbol of American automotive ingenuity and a cultural icon.

| Catching Mustang Fever | 02 Sep 2026 | 00:52:29 | |
If you’ve ever caught Mustang fever, you know it doesn’t take much. Sometimes all it takes is one good friend, one beautiful ’65 Fastback, and one road trip through Chicago to make you realize there’s suddenly an empty space in your garage that desperately needs filling. That’s pretty much what happened to today’s guest, Ryan. After watching his friend restore a ’65 Fastback—and then seeing that car roll through Chicago on a road trip from Kansas back home to Richmond, Virginia—Ryan was officially infected. The cure? A 1966 Mustang coupe, finished in gorgeous Vintage Burgundy, with a 289 V8 and a three-speed manual. And here’s a connection I particularly like: Ryan found his Mustang in the San Francisco Bay Area, the same part of California where I found Jewel, my ’65 convertible. But buying the car was only the beginning. Ryan brought the Mustang home to the Chicago suburbs, and now, through a few trials, plenty of learning, and some modifications along the way, he’s turning it into a project he can share with his kids. Today we’re talking about catching Mustang fever, buying a classic from across the country, learning as you go, and why working on an old Mustang with your kids might be one of the best modifications you can make.

| One Last Ride | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:28:16 | |
Some Mustang stories are about horsepower, some about restorations, and others, family traditions. Rick's story is about love, determination, and keeping a promise. When his aging mother shared one final wish—to ride once more in the 1965 Mustang convertible she had owned before it was sold while his father was serving in Vietnam—Rick set out on an incredible mission. Against the odds, he tracked down her original car, brought it back into the family, and later honored her memory by taking one final ride with her ashes resting on the console, alongside his sons. It's a story that spans generations and reminds us that sometimes a classic Mustang becomes much more than a car—it becomes the keeper of a family's most treasured memories. Rick has owned that special Mustang for the past eight years, and today he's here to share the remarkable journey behind it. Rick, welcome to Ford Mustang: The Early Years.

| A Family Legacy to Live By | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:31:28 | |
Some Mustangs are bought. Some are built. And then there are the rare ones that become part of a family's story for generations. Today's guest is Robert, the caretaker of a very special 1966 Mustang that has been in his family since it rolled off the showroom floor. Originally purchased new by his grandfather, the car found its way to Robert when his grandfather passed away, making it much more than a classic Mustang—it's a family legacy on four wheels. Although Robert has only been the owner for a few years, he's continuing a story that began nearly 60 years ago. Today we'll talk about his grandfather, the memories tied to the car, what it's like preserving an original family Mustang, and why some cars become part of who we are.

| How the Cars We Love End Up Restoring Us with Jon Joriman | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:25:02 | |
Some people own a classic Mustang. Others build a relationship with one over a lifetime. Today's guest has lived with the same Mustang for more than 36 years. What began as a father-and-son project at age 15 became something much bigger—a place to learn, to heal, and to stay connected to the man who first handed him a wrench. Through new floors, fresh paint, engine swaps, brake upgrades, and countless hours in the garage, this Mustang has been there for every major chapter of his life. And even after losing his father five years ago, the ritual continues—one drive, one polish, one memory at a time. This isn't just a story about restoring a Mustang. It's about how sometimes the cars we love end up restoring us. Let's welcome Jon to the show. Jon Joriman's Mustang Story: My father was a huge classic car guy. He bought and sold multiple cars, and I would help or be in the way in my preteen and teen years. I fell in love with Mustangs when I was about 15. My father purchased one as a father/son project, and I still have it 36 years later. I am now 51. I have painted it, replaced the 289 with a 6-banger, replaced the floors, new interior, and installed disc brakes in the front. I have touched every nut and bolt over the years. The majority of the work happened at various times in my life where the garage was my therapy space - 16-18, trying to figure out life; 25-28, when I had a new family; 45-50, becoming an empty nester and dealing with his death. About 5 years ago, my father passed away, and I still go out to the garage to polish or work on it. I drive it weekly to bring back great memories. The car is part of me, and I would be happy to share my story. I also inherited a 1957 Ford Retractable from him. He purchased it sight unseen when I was 4 - 45 years ago. It had a huge tree on the roof and trunk, which provided firewood for the winter and a starting car that was not good enough to junk, but my father had a vision, and the car has won national car shows.

| Five Decades of Mustang Ownership | 28 May 2026 | 00:26:58 | |
Jim Foster has owned his Mustang for nearly 50 years, and in that time, the car has become far more than just transportation. Nicknamed “DABEEST,” this Mustang has survived hundreds of thousands of miles, an engine rebuild after 450,000 miles on the road, a serious accident, and a full restoration that brought it back to life in 2008. On this episode of Ford Mustang: The Early Years Podcast, James shares the stories behind decades of ownership, the upgrades that made the biggest difference, and what it’s like staying connected to the same classic car through so many chapters of life. If you’ve ever wondered what makes someone keep a Mustang for half a century, this conversation delivers the answer. Snapshot

| Adam Pitale, One Clean Classic at a Time | 07 May 2026 | 01:13:55 | |
Adam's Polishes: https://adamspolishes.com/ How have we not met until now -- and only then via coincidence. Mustangs, F-100s, and a laundry list of acquaintances in common. Adam Pitale is the kind of guy who’s been obsessed with making things shine since he was a kid—literally starting by cleaning and polishing bikes as a pre-teen. That obsession turned into a hustle, then a business, and eventually into what we now know as Adam’s Polishes. He launched it back in 2000 in California, not from some grand plan, but because he needed to make a living—and figured there had to be a better way to keep things looking perfect. Today, Adam’s built a global brand around that same mindset: a little obsessive, a little unconventional, and completely driven by doing things better than “good enough.” He’s the guy who’d rather wash a forklift—or Classic Ford —than let it stay dirty… and that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about how he shows up in business. I coincidentally connected with Adam when I saw he was recently selling a classic Ford truck on Marketplace. Which I must add did finally close. Adam, welcome to the podcast. I have at least a half dozen of your products sitting in my garage right now -- coincidence? I think not.

Today on Ford Mustang: The Early Years Podcast, we’re talking legacy—real legacy. Our guest has been riding in the same Mustang since 1966… yeah, you heard that right. Bought new by his mom, it officially became his in 1980, and over the decades, it’s evolved into something far beyond stock—rebuilt from the ground up with just a couple of original pieces still hanging on.

| Patina Over Perfection, Jon Davis and His 1965 Mustang Pony | 27 Mar 2026 | 00:30:28 | |
Today's guest is Jon Davis -- he can trace his Mustang roots back to the original owner. How cool would it be if we all could step into that time machine? Jon, welcome to Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast. Quick recap: In this episode of the Ford Mustang: The Early Years Podcast, host Doug interviewed John Davis about his 1965 Ford Mustang, which John purchased in 2011 from its third owner. John shared details about the car's history, including its assembly in San Jose, California, in August 1965, and its original LA market specifications. The Mustang, which John affectionately calls "Pony," has been well-maintained with recent suspension work and brake repairs, though John prefers its unrestored condition with its patina and original parts.

| Three Builds, One Mustang, Vik Day Interview | 28 Jan 2026 | 00:34:58 | |
Today on Ford Mustang: The Early Years, we’re diving into the journey of a lifelong Mustang dream—centered on a 1965 Fastback that’s evolved through multiple rebuilds, setbacks, and reinventions. From a rough Craigslist purchase with questionable prior work, to a budget-minded daily driver, to a full-blown high-horsepower street-and-track build, this story captures the heart of Mustang ownership: passion, persistence, and the emotional pull of a car that just won’t let go. It’s a testament to the imperfect, personal, and ever-evolving first-gen Mustang—Vik Day, welcome to the show. Vik Day - today's guest He bought his dream car—a 1965 Mustang Fastback—in December 2018, nearly 20 years after first wanting one. Before that, he’d owned and driven performance cars like a Porsche 996 GT3, an air-cooled 911, and even a 1970 Bronco he quickly sold. But he kept coming back to the pull of a first-gen Mustang. He found a Wimbledon White Fastback on Craigslist in Denver. He shipped it to Texas, only to discover it was far rougher than advertised: a non-original T-code car with a tired 289, questionable mechanical work, unsafe wiring, poor rust repairs, and dangerously low oil pressure. Still, it had a beautiful red deluxe pony interior and working factory R12 A/C—enough to justify saving it. He began by prioritizing safety and drivability with upgraded brakes, suspension components, fuel and brake lines, a clutch conversion, and a full electrical cleanup, choosing not to rebuild the original engine since it was already near the end of its life. He then installed a budget-friendly Blueprint 302 with Holley Sniper EFI to create a reliable daily driver that made strong rear-wheel power and sounded great, but the engine suffered a catastrophic bearing failure after just 6,500 miles, leading to a warranty rebuild and months of downtime. Now he’s fully committed to building the ultimate dual-purpose Mustang—comfortable enough for street use and a car seat, yet capable on track in Houston heat—with a 507-hp Ford Racing 363, TKX transmission, upgraded suspension, steering, chassis stiffening, and supporting hardware. Along the way, he tested his loyalty by buying other Mustangs, including a pristine Rangoon Red ’65 Fastback and a high-school-dream Foxbody, but kept coming back to the original T-code; despite its flaws, it remains his favorite, and he plans to complete the latest evolution, or is he?

| Fuel, Air, Spark, Compression, Timing | 22 Sep 2025 | 01:05:48 | |
Long before we get to disc brake upgrades, Shelby drops and changing gearing ratios, we've got to bake our combustible recipe. Every engine needs five things to roar to life: fuel, air, spark, compression, and timing. Miss just one, and you’re probably listening to this episode on the side of the road. Today, we break down the mechanics behind the machines—and the lessons they teach us about precision, balance, and getting it all to fire in sync. Welcome to Ford Mustang: The Early Years and Ford Trucks, the Early Years Podcasts, where today we will get you tuned up and on the road. Let's bring in our resident expert, Jonathan, welcome back to the podcast -- it's been way too long. That’s the whole recipe for a running engine:

| Joycelyn Armstrong, A Lifetime of Driving | 30 Jul 2025 | 00:31:45 | |
According to today's guest, Joycelyn Armstrong, her dad was a Ford dealer from 1970-1987. Quote, "He bought all of his children cars that were built the year we were born. I was born in 1965, and I still have my ‘65 convertible. He bought the car when I was 15, and it is my first car and still with me." Joycelyn, welcome to the Ford Mustang: The Early Years podcast. Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application ============ If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride? 45 years If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name? Not yet - haha If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done? She was restored by my brother when my dad bought it in 1980. It was powder blue and rough. She got the works. I promptly killed the motor, so she got a new motor - that’s a whole other story. The best upgrade we’re power brakes in the early 2000s. I weigh a whopping 95 lbs, so getting her to stop was a feat. I spun her 180 degrees to stop in a rainstorm and stared directly at the guy behind me. It was time. What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car? Good question. I often ponder if she should get a facelift lift but since I haven’t, I don’t want her to look prettier than me. We look our age, and I am trying to decide if that is a bad thing. Your listeners can weigh in.

| The Perfect Trifecta, Coupe, Convertible and Fastback | 30 May 2024 | 01:01:46 | |
Episode Guest: Charles Coats, serial First Generation Mustang owner The trifecta of classic Mustangs—the coupe, convertible, and fastback—captures the essence of 1960s American automotive culture. The coupe, with its sleek and timeless design, offered a balance of style and practicality. The convertible embodied freedom and the open road, perfect for those who wanted to feel the wind in their hair while cruising. The fastback, known for its sporty and aerodynamic silhouette, appealed to performance enthusiasts with its powerful presence and racing pedigree. Each model played a crucial role in establishing the Mustang as an iconic and beloved American muscle car. The first generation Mustangs, produced from 1964.5 to 1967, marked the birth of one of America's most iconic cars. The Mustang was introduced by Ford on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. Initially dubbed the "1964.5" model, it was technically a 1965 model year vehicle. The Mustang's launch was a groundbreaking moment in automotive history, creating the "pony car" class of American muscle cars—affordable, compact, and sporty cars with long hoods and short rear decks. The 1965 Mustang came in three body styles: coupe, convertible, and fastback, each offering a variety of engine options, from the economical inline-six to the powerful V8s. The car's design, affordability, and performance made it an instant hit, selling over 400,000 units in its first year and surpassing a million within two years. In 1966, the Mustang continued to evolve with minor aesthetic updates, including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers, and gas cap. The car also became more customizable, with new interior and exterior options. By 1967, the Mustang received its first significant redesign to accommodate larger V8 engines and provide a more aggressive stance. The 1967 models featured a more robust front and rear end, revised interior, and improved suspension, making it a favorite among performance enthusiasts. Throughout its early years, the Mustang's combination of style, performance, and affordability cemented its status as a symbol of American automotive ingenuity and a cultural icon.
