Huge respect for the man that paid this woman what the car was worth.
Not nearly enough people like him in the world today.
He’s better than me. I LOWBALL when buying cars!
@@slickpanther06 I think his passion for the vehicle is expressed in his willingness to pay the fare price
@@GlazzedDonut It's a fair deal and not as if he's losing any money, the car will be worth at least what he is paying for it, and after a lot of work, rather more. In the long term the car may well appreciate in value. But at least the car will be restored, loved, shown and driven - not rusting away in a barn or sitting restored in a plastic bag in a huge darkened and air conditioned underground garage as part of an investment portfolio.
To be fair, most people selling barn finds think they're worth a hell of a lot more.
Pretty rare to come across a barn find that's cheap, most people know the value and often want top dollar for what are often wrecks requiring 1000s spent on them
I agree, doing a widow wrong can lead to lingering bad luck.
The cat was the owner reincarnated and happy it was going to a good home.
Awesome find!
My exact thoughts
Was going to say the same thing. 100% the husband
@@pauliepatches yes the cat was cool
I thought the same thing. Anyone notice the color of Shelby's eyes? They are almost a perfect match to the cars paint.
I can confirm this is true.
Buyer: "So are the headers original?"
Appraiser: "No, and I can tell by the way the nuts are tightened, the guy who replaced it was right handed, 6'2 and 187 lbs."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot he walked with a limp based on the increased bolt tightening on the left of the light
He had blue underpants on and he bit his fingernails.
And had a dollar and .27 cents in his left pocket
And he was drinking coffee, theres a stain on the 3 hump pipe. 😂😂
I didnt see any mouse habitats in the interior, so those barn cats were doing this guy a solid in that regard.
Lol good point!!🤣🤣🤣
That's why it was sad to see it go that was his snack attraction
you could tell just by the size of the cat haha
Mouse damage is better than toxoplasmosis dust (cats)
@@guysumpthin2974 the chances of getting toxoplasmosis vs. Damage from mice infestation? Ill go with barn cats keeping rodents in check. As every barn on the planet has been doing.
That cats is probably the one saved all the wiring on that car by killing all the rats.
The 40 year old rat eating cat
John Valentine That cat moisturizes thats why it looks so young
It's also probably the previous owner.
A rat rod
My parents car is a 68 Shelby GT 500. All original factory paint and all. 23,000 miles on it and Rawlings would probably still say 8-10,000. What a winner he is. This guy is at least honest.
I’d bet the original parts that were replaced are still in that barn hidden under all the clutter in there. People like that don’t throw stuff away
That's a really good point. I have no idea why they would have swapped the block, but with values being what they are today it might really make sense to repair the it (the oem).
The video actually shows why you're likely right about that, did you see what was blocking the barn doors? Parts are in that barn for sure.
David Epperson must have blew the motor racing or maybe they even took the motor out as to not abuse the original seeing how he modified the oil pan on the block that was in there. I’d go in that barn and sort thru all that clutter and sell him the original block If it were in there
Good call
I was thinking the EXACT same thing, pretty obvious owner was a hoarder, I'm certain items are in there somewhere!
I could never imagine knowing that much about a particular car. So impressive to see someone with that knowledge.
good guys to learn from!
I was thinking the same thing. I would go as far as to say he probably knows more than the guys back then building these cars. An amazing find.
nowadays they're called "incels"
11:51 power wash simulator be like
I worked on Dodge/Chrysler cars for many years and could tell you almost everything that a early 80’s to mid 90’s stock Dodge truck/car has, everything from the original bolts, nuts and screws but I can’t do that to a Chevy or Ford. The more you take apart and put back together and the more you put your eyes on these cars, it’s amazing how much you know. This guy has been working with these cars for decades obviously.
Need more people like this man in the world. Most buyers would've tried to pick the value of the car apart and after finding out about the engine not being completely stock they would have used that to get over on the owner/widow. Happy to see this man paid the owner what the car was worth !!
yes, if there were more of them in the world than they would pay
Did they give a really good price justin? I don't know anything about American muscle cars but they look beautiful.
You mis interpreted that, or the entire video. He stated multiple times that he wanted to know the value of the car BEFORE he shelled out the $75,000 asking price that the woman's son based off of about 100 internet searches. I was interested in buying this car too, but I didnt have $75k. Then months later I see this video of the same car posted. And he published this video making it impossible for her to get the $75,000. Weird that the appraiser he hired came up with $60-$70k or the $65,000 or shortcutting the dead man's family $10k. Especially since the guy admitted he already was going to offer the lady $65k based on her For Sale Ad asking price.
I think 65k was fair
On
For anyone wanting to know without watching the whole video, the car was appraised at 60k-70K and sold at 65K.
Thank you!😁
Hero
Thank you that's all I wanted to know !! Not to watch a 20 minute video
Thank you...👍👍
They should’ve gave her 70K
And a 5K donation to the ASPCA for the cat protecting the interior.
Old man soul is in that cat. He's going to miss his cars.
21:28 when he said vrOOO000oooom bert bump brooooom I felt thT
Yep!
@travis, I love my cats, but they sure make a mess of my shop.
You got my thoughts on that!!I felt the pain of that cat when i looked at the footage!!
U are smart
Exactly how a true car lover is a good guy, and treats the former owner and the widow with respect and understanding without greed.
Well done sir!
I'm really impressed that you're going so far out of your way to make sure you pay the widow fairly. There are so many people looking to take advantage and squeeze every little bit of profit out of a score like this. I don't know the first thing about Shelby's or restoration, but this was absolutely delightful. I'd love to follow this project from start to finish!!
Thank you, Jesus for this honest caring man!❤️
A stand up guy for sure🙏🏾

@@f.joebidencommunistpartyof4156 impressive catch. I somehow missed all that.
super
Thats a good dude, not taking advantage of the widow, we need more people like him.
Well where he video taped the whole event and posted it on RUclips I guess he left himself a bit exposed and forced to do the right thing.
Yup. Otherwise these guys would have ripped her right off. Im not wrong. It's ok, its the times.....right.?? Pft
@@gbond1010 Agreed we are living in the shadow of big brother more than ever. Free Ron Jeremy!
You don’t last long in those sort of circles ripping people off. Also if you don’t know these cars inside out your bound to get stung buying something that isn’t quite what it seems. Imagine getting it on a ramp and it’s 90% fibreglass underneath. On something like this it’s about what it’s gonna cost to make it original.
Yeah,being poor,and learning what its like to build a real car,with no money,help.and BS.
That cat is probably the reason the interior wasn't destroyed by rats.
Exactly. The cat knew what a treasure this ve-hicle was.
Do you really think that cat was there for 40 years?
=)
Oldest living cat I've ever seen
The cat saved it. Probably had a few other cats in 40 yrs.Mice would have been really destructive. There isn't a place that they don't phauck up..Amazing car
Cat: "Oh man, I was gonna leave that car to my kittens"
I think the owner would have been happy with the way you arrived at a price to offer the widow and how you are going to enjoy the car like he would have.
I just bought a 86 se 225 slant 6 727 transmission in it the truck is In great shape 👌 the owners father had passed away in it 500 bucks it what he wanted for it the engine is a new short block with all the other parts on it I've has it running already less than 100 miles on the engine ,is sentimental value is priceless and I'm starting over in life after losing every thing the man who sold this to me told all other buyers it's sold before I even got there with the cash I'm far from rich or even able to make dew hardly but I've got a start again this man picked me to bless with this Ole truck and I want to get the truck up and going once again it's got a Lil rust but it's a classic truck beauty rings and moon hubcaps I'm proud of it I wish I could of given him more for the truck as this man did his health is not good I thank this man for this blessing of old truck cause I love it and his father that passed in the truck would be proud to know I'll take care of it and preserve it just like he did his father did ,it will be as cool later as it was when his father owned it God bless good people your right we need good people in this world their are some who are still I always help people it's just how I was raised my self it makes this world better
That cat knows more than he’s saying.
Keeps this fine old find (w/ original seats) from being fouled by mouse poop anyway! ;')
Think the cat shelby for keeping the mouse poop away.
@@MajorCaliber , the pee actually, and did you know overtime it will eat right through metal? Plus the smell is very hard to get out. A friend does restores on old vehicles on the east coast, and their mouse problem is epidemic..and this cat did help keep that away from those cars.
Wow something rarely seen in on RUclips: a so-called "barn find" car that is actually a real barn find!
@Mark Gibson fool
I've only seen something like this on forza
spot on................................i found a real 1970 hemi cuda. just dont know how to handle the sale.
csxcobra csxcobra wow! Where at?
Respect for the ethical buyer giving the widow what the car was actually worth
I would honestly say I’m jealous of your find. The integrity of the chassis itself is in tact. It seems they tried their best to keep as much as they could original. The restoration would be very time consuming and expensive, but well worth. A unicorn being brought back to life, there are no words. Giving the widow a fair price, was epic. You helped restore humanity while you’re at it.
Well done mate, honest guy who had the appraised and paid the correct amount to the widow..
Mr driveryte exactly what I thought. Great to see an HONEST KIND AND MORAL buyer. I said I hope he finds many more 👍.
OMG is that a FAIR PRICE??!?!?! UHHHH!!! the guy who buy is alos the guy who also appraise.. LESSON learnt THIRD PARTY APPRAISAL!!!
😂
@@candicemccklouskey81 the guy who bought it brought in a the guy who restores them to appraise its value, the buyer simply had his own idea about the price and it matched the appraisal, the professional restorers role in the appraisal is mentioned at the very beginning of the video.
candice mccklouskey yes FAIR. That car needed a lot of work!
The BEST part was when you Didn't try to low-ball and rip off the widow. Thanks for that.
Tried to do the right thing🤘
Still good people in this world. God is good.
@@NinjaSushi2 God has nothing to do with it.
@@jasonswift7098 God financed the whole show.
Because he isn't a disgusting liberal.
My father used to say Sometimes in life it’s not about what you know its who you know and that man you brought with you to check this car out is a genius
I found the video fascinating in so many levels...not just the beauty of the car. The level of knowledge of those involved, but above all the fact that the potential buyer went through all of this to pay a fair price to the widow. There are still decent and people with honor in this world.
Poor kitty ......he knew what he had !
Thanks
Maybe the original owner reincarnated ?
@Elisha sorry but what does any of that have to do with a rescued shelby 500GT being saved from the scrap yard ???
@@6petrolhead6 How does a reincarnated cat have anything to do with a rescued gt500? Bible says you get one life then you die to be judged by God. Maybe that was his point.
One Life as a human as I recall it never said anything about an animal
The cat is the original owner in his afterlife.
I think that as well
Thought the same thing i swear after my grandfather died a red lab about blind deaf and can brearly walk showed up on the farm brown hair bleached red from sun everyone call my grandfather red and he couldn't see for shit or hear and walked funny too i know it sounds crazy
I don't believe that kinda shit. But eh, I got to be honest I thought the same thing.
Seems like the cat is so territorial, he won't let it go. It feels that this is my treasure, surprised he didn't throw a fit at some point. Cute and kind cat!
I said the same thing
🤣🤣 the cat was trying to say.. "do not take my car away man! I love this car and I took care of it!" so cute!
🐈🐈😎😎
I met a guy like that appraiser at Saratoga National Historical Park. He had worked for the park service for 40 years. Listening to him talk about the battles that took place there made you feel like you were actually there. This appraiser is amazing in his intricate knowledge detail and keen eye. Those types of people are true National Treasures.
I wouldn't be surprised if the cat was actually the previous owner...
How do you figure that??

THAT JEFF GUY ISN'T THE ONLY GUY THAT RESTORES THESE CARS , AND HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM
This car was deiven, modified and loved. Worth more to me than an all match number car. Happy to see an enthusiast will revive and enjoy this car.

Guy did right by the widow, I wish him the best.
I was really impressed by what he did. Enormous respect for him.
@@solasauto I do. I personally know Bob, and he is just as you see him here.
The problem is that we never got to see Bob offer the widow $65k for it.
The way that garage was, she clearly doesn't know the true value of the car, she only knows its worth something.
He could have offered her 10k for it and she would have taken them.

How wonderful...an Honest Man....having the Car Appraised and Paying the Lady an Honest Price!!
So glad he is keeping it a Survivor Car!!
she has numerous appraisers ,, which he failed to mention,, she knew what it was worth,, this isnt the pre internet days lol
I love hearing absolute masters at their craft talking about their expertise like that appraiser guy.
77PM 8 uiù
I for one, would love to see a follow up on the car when you finish the restoration, the cat too. You should drive back to the barn for the cat's approval....
Michael Mazor agreed me too. Is there a follow up out yet?
I agree
His name is Shelby. 😂😂😂😂😂🐈
I would love to see an update to this segment. My neighbors mom was sitting on a Boss Mustang for so many years and never knew what she had until we went into her barn looking for some vintage Barbies. A guy flew out from Ft. Worth Texas the following week with his appraiser. She made $48 grand on a car that she had all but forgotten that she had stored away in 1986 after her husband past.
Good story. Bet that money came in handy too.
So happy it was what he was looking for. It’s so wonderful he gave the widow a nice price. It’s great to know that there are still honest people too.
That man knows his Shelbys!
And for some reason feels that a rusted piece of broken down metal is worth $70k 😂
SmoothTheKid maybe not to you, but to a lot of people who know these cars, there’s definitely a market. The $70 k was retail, I’m sure someone with the cash can do better.
SmoothTheKid you have no idea
Probably at least another 100k to restore.
Ron Steurer Steve McQueen’s Bullit car is going up for auction, price tag is up well over 2 million, money is no object to some collectors! The guy that owns it got it from his dad, that found it back in the early 70’s, paid $3,500 for it. It comes with all the pedigree needed , including a letter from Steve asking to buy it, it sat in a barn for 35 yrs after his mom drove it to her school teaching job when the clutch went out and it was parked! It still has the camera mounts and cutouts for the movie equipment! I’m sure with a little search you can find the story, I saw it on a network news show this morning!
This is awesome. If this was a made for tv show on discovery they would have stretched it to 1 hr with a bunch of stupid cliff hangers before commercials . Love you RUclips.
right
“And you guys won’t believe what we found next....”
-twenty minutes of commercials-

Coming up next. The team make a discovery that could change everything.
Then a commercial break.
Then a recap of everything your have already watched
Yep they would of dragged it out with endless Next On flashbacks 😂
Much respect to you for being honest with the seller throughout. It's nice seeing that, beyond the historical aspect.
"Make your Vroom Vroom noise." Then the following Vroom Vroom noises were the highlight of the video. 👍
Great find. Great job being fair to the widow. Great video! Thanks for sharing with us. Enjoy that new/old beauty. 👍
That man will be blessed for paying that widow woman a fair price
It’s such a blessing to know that the buyer will be blessed for doing the right thing on the fair purchase price.
Now I fully understand how the game works.
I would imagine that being blessed is a far better thing than being condemned to HELL for trying to swindle a grief stricken widow woman out of a fair price ☮️
Similar story a mother kept her sons car who went to war in the 70's he died. She kept it but over the years the car was buried under hay.... how it survived I will never know. But the guys found it cleaned it up offered her 4k as to them it was a fair price.
Nice to know there are still honest, decent people out there.
Exactly.
@RipCity prince of this world but the king is coming
I was at a yard sale of a very old lady lossing her home it was sad so i was about the second person real early in the morning she just put allnthe stuff she wanted to sell on her yard I come appon about 4000$ worth og real silver. Silver ware she has the whole batch marked for 20$ i grabbed it an ran it up to her explaining what she had 2 days later her daughter called my crying thanking me the money she got gave her enough for a new apartment it was amazing we have to help each other

I'm Brazilian, and a big fan of Shelby 1967 GT-500, what a wonderfull car, amazing.
I am a big Mustang and Shelby fan myself. Sadly I do not own one. My dad was big into classics and it was always a dream of mine to have a '66 Mustang 289 HiPo and for him and I to restore it together or at least work on it together. I told him about this video and he watched it and was amazed. I believe this was one of the last RUclips videos him and I talked about and shared so much excitement on. He passed away Dec. 28, 2020. He is missed tremendously. Now not only is this video an amazing barn find, but it is a refreshing memory I have of my father and something to remind me of the torch I too carry. I hope him and my mother can see me and they are proud. They told me I did make them proud, but I'll never stop trying even more. I love you Mama and Daddy. Rest in Peace and hopefully we will see each other again down the road.
Cat was reincarnation of the owner sitting on his pride and joy
I thought so too.

Seeing them wash that car was like a religious experience.
That was amazing.
Now I want to see it finished and what all was done to it!
Seriously! Very soothing to watch
Brought back from the dead, arise Lazarus.
Kudos to this gentleman for paying the widow a very fair price. Great Video guys!
Yeah 100%.
Yea he coulda easily cheated her out of a fair deal good on him
It is nice to see a truly honest guy in any kind of Biz these days. I owned a small gun shop for a while back in 93 I had a little old lady ( Widow ) bring a Antique unrestored fully functioning S&W Russian Revolver over in a small Burlap drawstring bag. She was asking for $30. I had know Idea if it was Authentic or if it was a replica not worth much of anything but I knew $30 was a ridiculously low price so I offered $125 then brought the revolver to a local legendary Gunsmith he told me it was a $500 gun and wanted it for his own personal collection. I felt good about it and where it would end up so I left it with him got back to the shop called the Lady in and gave her another $125 so we split the sale proceeds. The next day a man claiming to be her son walked through the shop door and I was waiting for whatever bad thing that was about to happen to get over with and to my surprise he thanked me for helping his Mom and treating her fairly. That incident sowed the seed for a permanent philosophy regarding how I continued to conduct all business. For me the Fair thing felt better than a unfairly large profit at someone else's expense.
Great video and great find! Thank you so much for allowing me to go on a ride today. Never in a million years did I think I would have an opportunity to ride in a GT500. Well done on the restoration and keeping it original. Thanks again Mark

So beautiful

Holy crap, this appraisal guy knows every inch of the car. Hands down the best shelby guy ever to know his stuff
More than Carroll Shelby ?? ;p
He is president of the Ford car club. Midwest car club not really an appraisal guy.
Jeff is top notch best in restoration!
If he had only found the original maxipad kit that came with the car then it would truly be a site to see. Just amazing the smug energy for this barn find. 🤮
I hope he got to meet Carroll
I commend the buyer on his honesty. The woman had no idea its worth. He was very fair and a gentleman. Hard to find these days huh
But what if it was worth even more
Well no doubt he could have said this thing is rusty and worked on like crazy, I'll give you 20 grand and she would have been happy. Bu he gave 65 grand true market value.

Probably kept the mice away from the car and helped preserve it even more.

This was fascinating to watch. The Shelby has always been one of my favorite cars since I was a kid. I look at it as sort of the SR-71 in the "badass" scale of vehicles. The fact that you were old school in how you handled dealing with buying the car from the widow in the era of today which is "Screw the other person as much as possible" restored my faith in mankind quite a bit. I will be watching the the follow up video of this car with bated breath.
The follow up is on my channel now

I love to see people being "fair" with others... especially a widow that might not know the true value of this car.
One of the best car videos I’ve seen in ages, good detail, no showboating, bragging etc, nice honest folk and not trying to rip anyone off.
And the real star, the cat
The cat is clearly the deceased owner protecting the car from thieves.
But they are paying for it, so how are they thieves?
Sure. The cat's the star, not the car. _Mowww, I never did think much o' that thar car - way too cold to sleep on_ . . .
@@idontcare7961 How did the cat know they were going to pay for it? ;).
But seriously Marko, If you read what Chris typed, he hasn’t actually said that the guys in the video were thieves, I’m pretty sure he’s just commenting on the cats behaviour in general i.e. that it has a protective disposition. BTW Chris I got that vibe too from watching the video… the cat seemed eerily attached to it (the car)
I agree, the cat could be a spiritual representation of the owner, watching and re living the joy of the Shelbys new buyer seeing it for the first time.

Best to possibly include in the deal with the widow: to be granted to have a thorough look in the barn for parts and maybe sort stuff out for her too.
I think the car is in very good hands and when that car is finished it will look better than brand new.
As it is as an GT-500 she has still got the looks.Enjoy your purchase brother and bless you 👍👍👍👍
The appraiser was incredible and the buyer was a true fair player. Thank you sir for dealing square with them, you went above and beyond.

I'm a FORD guy, but I like all classic cars, esp from the 60s! I drove a red, black interior 1965 Mustang convertible in the 70s. The 1968 Shelby convertible is my ALL-TIME FAV car! Almost a PERFECT styling to that car!
Nobody talking about the cat😒
Car guys are typically the same. They hate cats. They love dogs.
PLOT TWIST: The cat is the widow's husband reincarnated. Keeps reincarnating as a cat to protect thieves or rats from destroying the car.
Whoa
What else do you know
Came to say this. Lol
DHS jug djded
I was thinking the same thing. His eyes said it all while he was sitting in the trunk.
This is my dream car . I remember i saw one In Malta one time . I almost drop in my knees . That's a beast of a car . The shape of it , the power , All things from this car... It's just scream "BEAST PERFECTION" !
Cat- Hey you are taking my ride away that thing is a Mouse Magnet man! 😁
I love to see all these ethical men make an ethical deal with the widow. I think that they are the exception not the norm.
U got that Rite sir
Yes sir
For sure
For real man someone else would have ripped her off
Yeah, that's really good to see.
Much respect for actually giving the widow a fair price for that car when my grandfather was alive he had a farm with a very large barn and a bunch of old cars in it one of them was a 1964 barracuda and very nice condition when my grandmother had to sell her property and go into a nursing home some shady shyster gave her $250 for the car so I definitely take my hat off to you for being honest!!!
The "sit in the car and make the vroom vroom noise" part made me laugh. That's what it's all about, Congrats.
Hats off to this buyer for paying a widow what the car is actually worth!! You are a stand up guy, far too rare a breed in the car hobby I’m afraid. Thank gawd you found and bought the car and not one of many unscrupulous pigs you see on TV who would have begrudgingly offered 1/4 what you did. You renew my faith in humanity! Well done!!! How about an update on the car please?

Rick from Pawn Stars called: ....... " Our expert says $250.00"..... "It's gonna sit here for a while so I will give you $45.00 and a banjo"
Haha! God, you are right!
Haaaaaaaa true
Hahahaha
That is outstanding. Rick is a tool along w/everyone on that shit show
@bill hill You are just upset because your Yugo won't start and you can't get to the dollar store.
Whatever it's worth, it's a timeless, beautiful design. No question about that.
Thankfully it went to the right person.
Man respect to that woman for keeping his collection of all those legendary cars and not just selling them for dirt , she knew what her husband wanted when the time came. Husband had great taste in cars and women and i mean that respectfully!!!
Gotta admire the guy who bought all these one of a kind cars and kept em.. he surely had a taste for the right cars.
Shelby's green kitty eyes match the car color. Great find, and very honorable to pay widow the appraised price. Please do update when the car's back on the road.
Glad to see this work of art being saved!
If more people were as fair and upfront as this, more barnfinds would find their way out into the world.
Pawn Stars: "Best I can do is 3,000 and I'm taking a risk at getting my money's worth"
HIlarious
Sounds like Pawn Star
Sounds like Chumlee made that deal, Rick will chew him out later.
Don’t go there...
Ha! No doubt. They'd point out dust, modifications, paw prints etc.
i just love how the guy collects and DRIVES his cars. good man he has done well in life apparently and he is fair, God bless this man and i hope this car is a joy for him
What an absolute beauty.
Great to see the restoration and see it drive
Im surprised how well the interior was considering how long its been sitting. It cleaned up really well too
everything in that shed was special
like even the la baron was a gts....jk I agree it was all cool stuf
Dont I believe it. I grew up in the back seat of my dads 72 montego. Left fender got crunched we probably looked in ever salvage yard in Oklahoma not a single Montego
Thank you for being honest with the seller. She had no idea what it was worth, and it's amazing that you did her husband proud.
thanks
@@thewriter2549 thanks???? u knew she was going to find a 2nd appraiser,, u had to play it like that,, one lowball offer and u werent getting it.. u guys are like any others out to profit
@@italianwaterice9594 damn bro why you so turnt
@@nehow2419 its the truth,, these guys job is to make as big a profit as possible,, not to give money to "uninformed widows" she knew what she had
@@italianwaterice9594 in the end. Its a job. You dont go to work or do your job just to be nice to the company. Here to make a paycheck. As long as its not done in a scummy greedy lying way.... What is wrong with knowing how to make money with what you got?
