Took my 1968 Mustang GT out for a little winter cruise since it was warm and sunny.

Awesome car! I was in petrolhead heaven until the glorious V8 sound was replaced by music - but it's still a visual treat! Is the 468 motor a stroked 351?

Yeah I really wanted the engine to be in all of the shots but the drone has no audio and there was more wind noise than I cared for in the driving sequences.  Next time I will have to have a recorder inside of the car to capture just the engine and lay that over the video.  This was a last minute "Hey it's a nice day I think I'll fire up the '68" and I grabbed the drone and my GoPro and headed out the door.

This just has the stock 302 that it was born with in '68.

Ah - my ageing ears picked up your "Ford 68 Mustang" as "468 Mustang"!

I'd love to own one of these, but sadly they're really expensive here in the UK. I'm jealous!!!

Amazing car - thanks for sharing

Very nice video and a beautiful car!

Nice use of the drone.  It just adds to the video instead of it being a drone video.

Amazing to see footage that isn't from flying over the horizon or at 1000'.  You might try putting all the camera's at 30fps since the drone is locked to 30 fps.  Seems easier way to keep stutter out of the drone footage (30fps gets divided poorly into edited 24fps video).

Thanks.  Yeah I like to mix it up and use the drone to accent my videos.  

Everything was set to 30 fps.  My GoPro was set to 2.7K 30fps.  It doesn't stutter on my screen.  The panning shot of my car isn't super smooth but most digital cameras are jumpy on panning shots like that in my experience.   What resolution are you watching the video?

We have so much salt on our roads that I cringed thinking of that car sitting in your garage dissolving.  But, your roads looks pretty clean.  I can't get my Harley out until we get a few inches of rain to wash the salt off the roads.

Nice car!

I was made in '68, too, so I always like those models.

Nice car, and mix of action cam and spark video footage!

It has to be my connection if the original is smooth.  Or how much Youtube is sending me at 720p.  I have this problem sometimes that slows down my connection.

I often have the same problem the mechanic does in this video:

We had a big rain a couple of days ago and got rid of all of the salt so we were good.  I've owned this car for 12 years now and it's never seen rain let alone snow.  The black '01 in the garage has only seen the rain 7 times since I bought it new in '01.

That's awesome!  Sounds like my friends and I playing Halo.  LOL!

Great Video very nice car. I know you have lots of garage space but if you ever need an additional place to store it I have some room

Yeah it is getting full.  The four car is full with my two Mustangs, my daily Jeep JK and my friend's '68 Barracuda as seen in the video.

Love the Mustang! Back a million years ago when I was young and stupid, I did a wee bit of street racing, (yeah I know really stupid), I had a '60 Ford Falcon that I crammed a 292 V8 in. I wish I had that car back, it was fast.

Here's a pic of our 66 convertible



And a litle v8 music.  

Cool video and great car!

Awesome!  Nothing beats the sound of an American V8.

Muscle cars tend to be a clear sign of low T

Nicely done.

Yes that's it, all car guys are low T. What an original joke! Usually it's they must have a small D.
You must be a Prius owner.

Nicely done.      Look great.

Very nicely done.  Love that 68.

Really love all the different views.
