I'm Angelo Paletta from Burlington
this is the car Cathedral
Yeah I'm definitely a Ford fanatic.
I'm car crazy,
just love cars.
I have no other real passion;
no boats, no cottages, no bikes.
Cars are it.
This is a combination, car storage
not a museum,
definitely a working garage that people can come and see.
I have a second-story man cave
with a 50 style diner,
big screen TV,
a whole bunch of memorabilia from Ford,
big ... small.
Of course I have a Christmas tree,
it's Christmas every day of the year
at the car cathedral
and it's just a place to come and relax,
have some fun,
have some pizza,
charity events ...
let's get together barbecue
whatever.
So I have OCD "obsessive car disorder"
Ford's been part of my life from day one.
My father in the late 50s was Ford.
We drove Ford station wagons,
he had Torinos ...
he eventually graduated to Lincoln's.
Still drives a Lincoln today!
So the blue oval has been in my blood
for quite a while.
So this one here is a 2006 Canadian spec Ford GT.
This car had twenty four and a half miles on when I bought the car.
It's never been plated.
It has 29 miles on it.
All those miles have been done in my driveway
And this is really a super pristine car,
it is a collector's item
with the original stickers
plastic on the seats ...
the original window stickers from the factory
and you see it's a Canadian spec car,
because you actually see the Canadian flag on the windshield.
So ...
this Ford GT
is actually the first Ford GT I purchased.
It's the American Racing colours
white with blue stripe.
This is more of a daily driver for me
it's been on rallies in the states.
One thing that's really neat about this car,
we did in honor of Carol Shelby when he passed away,
and he actually signed the center console on this car.
This is an exact recreation ...
of the 1968 / 69
double Le Mans winner.
It's a recreation of car 1075
it's the only car to win Le Mans
two years in a row.
Ford actually used this car on display
when they launched a 2006
Canadian Ford GT.
But what's really unique about this car
it's exactly what it was built in the 60s
so the roof comes out with the door
it has the fuel cells are actually in the door sill
and there's two, one on each side.
This has the full five-point harness
you can still see the little rings,
that was ventilation,
right-hand drive,
right-hand shift.
and you'll see the actual inside here,
you see all the switches,
which Ford then reproduce
in 2006 when they built in 2005 / 2006 Ford GT
they used a similar style switch
to keep the authenticity of the car.
So this has true '48 IVA Webers.
Everyone knows the bundle of snakes
which was the exhaust,
for the cars back then.
And it has a 5-speed ZF transaxle,
so, mid engine mounted car,
transaxle behind it.
The clamshell like they had in the 60s,
as I said this is about 95 percent accurate
to the original car.
So this is the car that won Le Mans
from 66 to 69.
Now we moved to 2016 2017
and the new Ford GT
that won Le Mans,
50 years later
in 2016.
And they created a street car,
the same time they created a race car.
These cars were basically designed and built simultaneously,
so that street version
mimics the race car.
Obviously there's things in a race car you can't put on a street car ...
but ultimately this is the same as a race car.
It's an amazing feat of engineering.
It's another piece of rolling art.
So, the interior of this car ...
was also custom ordered,
it's called launch control
and it's the orange that matches the space suits
from the astronauts
when they were going to one of the space shuttle runs.
Carbon fiber interior,
paddles,
all the controls are on the steering wheel,
and you can drive it.
It's another great piece.
This is a 2009 GT 500 KR edition.
Basically a remake of the 1968 KR
that Shelby came out with.
One of only 22 in Canada.
Neat car lots of power,
very tight,
supercharged,
cold air intake,
carbon fiber piece here,
these Shelby caps were stocked with the car,
over the coolant reservoirs,
handles very well
and it's good daily driver.
This is a very unique piece
this is an original Shelby Cobra,
all aluminium,
an original 427 side oiler motor
and NASCAR
big spine four-speed top loader.
what's very unique about that is
that both of those pieces were built by Bill parson from Southern Automotive.
And he actually built transmissions and engines for Shelby
in the 60s.
It's number two of only twelve American-made cars
another unique piece about this car,
it has aluminium inner wheel fenders
it's the only one in the world that I know of that has that
and it was actually done by a gentleman
who apprenticed in England,
making the aluminum bodies for ace, for Shelby.
The engine on this car is spectacular,
all original,
427 side oiler
The car has only got about 200 miles on the car
I'm the only person to ever drive this car
I found it in a warehouse in San Jose California
had been purchased by the gentleman in 1997
second year after Shelby started again
and it sat in his warehouse
until I bought it in 2010.
Original bias-ply tires,
and errr ...
very loud,
very hot,
and the car iss all made by hand.
This is a hand rolled, aluminum, Shelby Cobra.
This is a 2001 superformance 427 s/c Shelby Cobra.
These folks have the license to build the cars for Shelby.
I got this car in 2001,
this was the third car into Canada.
The car that actually has been signed by Carroll Shelby,
on the glovebox.
It has little wood racing brakes,
Bilstein racing shocks,
it's the original layout of the 1965 car,
has original Smith and Lucas gauges
and original wood steering wheel.
Putting up well over 550 horse,
four-barrel carburetor,
double pumper,
and this card is very light, goes very very fast.
Beautiful car to drive on a nice day,
and when you really want to get on it
you can get on it
and she goes.
Again, another piece of nostalgia,
Great partnership with Ford and Shelby
back in the 60s,
fantastic car!
The last car in my mini Ford Museum
is the 2012 boss 302 Laguna Seca model.
This is one of only 30 in Canada
2012 was the only year that this car was available in Canada
and the only year that they had the two-tone paint
where the spoiler and the roof
and side stripes and wheels all matched.
And they only built this car for two years 2012 and 2013.
This car has the full Recaro racing seats,
as well as five-point harnesses,
for both the driver and passenger.
Has no rear seat,
and a fully integrated roll cage into the car.
This car is also meant for the track it
Is a normally aspirated car,
with approximately 444 horsepower.
Great cars!
A lot of fun.
You know it's just, it's a great hobby.
I do a lot of charity work with the cars.
A lot of rides,
and I like opening it up to you know
a lot of people to see it, specially kids.
I even let kids sit in the cars
sometimes their parents,
but you know it's great to get the enthusiasm from the kids
and hopefully they are future Ford customers
when they get old enough.
