Air date: Jun 02, 2022

For this new project, François Allain must put on his spurs: he will ride a fearsome wild horse. In this new episode, our expert tackles a Mustang Shelby GT 350: Ford's first Muscle car. This ultra-rare car is now highly prized by collectors for its inimitable face and its formidable mechanical heart. But on the 1970 model that François Allain unearthed, the enormous big-block V8 needs to be overhauled from A to Z. The project promises to be huge. Especially when he discovers the extent of the damage: the engine has completely exploded. Never seen before on an American V8! François Allain will take a little break by inviting former Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean. Driving a 1968 Mustang Bullitt, the French champion will talk about his love for these cars and his rebirth in the Indycar championship, after his terrible accident.
