Hi, I'm Tom Scarpello of Revology Cars, and this is car number 75 - a 1966 Mustang GT Convertible in Silver Frost Metallic with Porsche Flamenco Red leather interior. So, Silver with Red interior was an original color combination back in ‘66, and it's one of my favorites. I think it looks super sharp and especially with the GT package, that red GT stripe. The GT package was only available with the top two engines back in 66. The K-code engine and the A-code engine, and not even all of the cars equipped with those two engine codes got the GT package.
So, it was pretty rare nowadays, and it's a very desirable option package. Now, of course, our interior is not quite that bright red color that Ford had in ‘66 that was a real glossy kind of vinyl. We use Porsche leather that's more of a matte finish. It's slightly darker than the original, so we had to do a custom stripe to match it. So, all the little details make the difference.
It is a cold Florida morning, and we have the top down and the heat on. So, this is our attack, our Borla attack exhaust system. It's got a great sound to it. It kind of rips but not excessively loud. So, a couple of videos ago, I kind of went off on a tangent talking about Tesla, and I guess there was kind of a reaction to that. I like Tesla. I mean, I'm not a hater. I think Elon Musk is a genius. He's willing to take risks. Tesla really designed their products to take advantage of what the EV configuration could provide.
The other thing was they started at the premium end of the segment, where people are more willing to spend for things like new technology rather than trying to build an affordable car right out of the gate. The thing, though, is that they're not quite there on quality. And I mentioned that they're at the bottom of the rankings for IQS. They've had some notable failures like a top flying off when the guy was driving the car home from the dealership and Home Depot parts that were used to secure some components. It tells you they have a ways to go. Elon Musk underestimated how difficult it is to build a car.
At Revology, we're really focused on getting all of these details right to have a car that functions properly where the trim fits and the paint quality is outstanding, and the doors would close and open, and all the functional things that you expect out of a car. We kind of take it for granted. Gotta love that!
