The Ford Era YouTube Channel visits a very special warehouse full of pickup trucks, muscle cars, and even a classic Ferrari for good measure.

The latest episode of Ford Era treats viewers to a large collection of vintage Ford trucks and Shelby Mustangs as well as a few exotics. From Houston, Texas, the owner of all these fine vehicles is an automotive collector by the name of Darryl.

The dedication to Ford automobiles in his growing collection is impressive. And there are definitely more than a few beauties to appreciate.

Going down the list of Darryl’s collection starts with a 1977 Crew Cab in dark blue. It’s nearly all original with only one repaint and 87,000 original miles. Next is a 1981 Ford F-150 with factory 4wd, baby blue paint, and rubber mats.

Next is a 1932 hot rod with a flathead engine. Although it’s a reproduction with plenty of custom parts, it does have a steel body under its smooth black paint job. We see another Ford hot rod, this time a 1933 model that’s glossy black with stock fenders.

The first classic Ford Mustang revealed is a 1966 GT350 Shelby in factory black. Darryl emphasizes that this isn’t a rental racer Hertz. Those models primarily came with gold stripes and some did have a stripe delete option. His example is one of the rarest all-black Mustangs sold to the public. It also only has a meager 38,000 miles.

Then there’s a 1957 Cadillac series 62 that’s been in the garage for 15 years. All it needs is a cleanup, fuel system tune, and brakes, and it’s good to go. Circling around, we see a 1971 High Boy with a 69 grill. There’s also a 1971 Crew Cab F26 repainted in factory white with a 69 grill.

Another 1969 High Boy F250 Crew Cab appears in its original turquoise color with an added AC system. The next High Boy is a government DSO sold at an auction. It has no color stampings and supposedly came from the Nevada atomic test site.

We then see a sapphire blue 1966 GT350 Shelby Mustang that looks ready to challenge the exotic cars in its vicinity. As 1 of only 50 ever made, it has a factory rear seat delete, package tray, a cobra steering wheel, and a 1965 Shelby Cragar “R” model roll bar.

For the remaining vehicles, there’s a clean example of a black-on-black 1986 Ferrari Testarossa with flying mirrors. That’s followed by a 1966 GT Mustang 4-speed, an orange 1969-70 K5 blazer with a 350 engine, and a 1970 Boss 302 in calypso coral.

The last few vehicles are Porsches. There’s a 1984 Carrera with original paint white, a RUF turbo, and a 1984 Carrera 4S. The video ends with some aerial drone footage of Darryl’s collection. It's a sight to behold and a surefire testament to an automotive enthusiast’s passion.
