Hi, I’m Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars. This is car number 150, a 1966 Mustang GT Convertible in Porsche Jet Black Metallic with Flamenco Red Nappa leather interior. Today, I’m going to take you on a walk around of this car, and we’re going to go for a drive. Let’s get started!
Okay, 1966 GT Convertible. This car is Jet Black Metallic. No, that is not a Ford color. That is a Porsche color. The original black was Raven Black. It was a solid color. The Jet Black Metallic, it reads a little bit gray because the metallic kind of brings out that reflection, and it’s a little bit less deep black.
Okay. At the side, the GT package features the GT badge, the Mustang lettering, the side stripe. This car is equipped with the styled aluminum wheels, which are a takeoff on the old-styled steel wheel, which is an option back in mid-‘65 and ‘66. The red and black theme. This is similar to car 61, Kevin Hart’s car, which, personally, I think this is one of the coolest color combinations on the ‘66 convertible. Now, this car is not identical to Kevin’s car. A couple of key differences on the interior.
This car is equipped with the six dial instrument cluster with the brushed aluminum trim. And it also has the optional touch screen. Arguably changes the appearance of the interior, clearly less original, but then you get the enhanced functionality of that modern touchscreen.
This car is also equipped with the leather wrapped steering wheel, which is an option. It’s a nice feature. It’s called Flamencorot leather. It’s a Porsche leather, so it’s an OEM grade leather. It has all the abrasion resistance, and sun loading characteristics that you would expect out of an OEM material. Just overall, really nice execution. Cool color combination. Cool car. And top is down. Weather’s nice. Let’s go for a ride!
All right. It is a beautiful day for a top down drive in car 150. Car 150. Big milestone. If you’re watching this video, you’re obviously interested in what we do. So we appreciate your interest. We appreciate your support. We wouldn’t be here without you. We have grown significantly. We now have 80 employees in the company. We’ve got a lot of people that have been with us for over five years. It’s a great team, and we just keep getting better all the time.
And we have great clients. In fact, now, 22 clients have purchased more than one car from us. Those 22 clients have purchased a total of 54 cars. So very high owner loyalty, high customer satisfaction. That means those 22 clients have bought almost a quarter of all the cars we’ve either produced or taken orders for. Sorry, that just sounds so cool. I have to do that.
People say, well, how did you do it? How did you do it? You’ve heard that thing. It took ten years to become an overnight sensation. We’ve been working at this for a long time. It’s over nine years. It comes down to, I think, two key things. One is focus, and the other one is continuous improvement.
Focus is about just focusing on one thing and being the best at that one thing. Every car we’ve ever built has been built on this same platform, the M58 platform. When you do something over and over, you get really good at it. You just need that focus, and that’s how you get really good at something. 150 cars off the same platform. You learn a lot.
Then continuous improvements just always have a mindset of, how can we make this better? How can we do it better? How can we do it more efficiently? You know, there’s a quote from Jay Leno that says, you know, high self-esteem is overrated. I think a little low self-esteem is good because it makes you work harder. You know, you’re always wondering, are you good enough? And I think that mentality is the right mentality to have and certainly is the right mentality for manufacturing.
Always, are we doing this the best we can do it? Are we the most efficient we can be? Is it the best quality that it can be? And always looking for just another improvement. So that mindset of continuous improvement is really part of the company culture. So focus, continuous improvement, it’s like a never ending journey, right? You never really reach the destination. It’s really just ongoing, but it’s cool. The journey is fun. The journey is fun, especially if you’re driving a Revology Mustang.
