I actually know Pam personally, and I am so glad to see this video. I've heard so many good things about this car and who she sold it to from her and this is such a beautiful tribute to such a gorgeous vehicle. She made the best choice for someone to bring this car back into the light and life again, from what this shows me. Thank you for this video, it made me feel so many things! Looking forward to a follow up video for sure!
She seems like a really sweet person
I would love to have the ford ltd
@@gwaddles She really is. A good person all around!
The LTD looked pretty nice. I'm surprised they didn't bring it out while the wall was open.
Please give Pam a nice big hug next time you see her, from all us who enjoyed this video so much because of her!
I got emotional when Pam said, " It's like letting a piece of him go. "
Phil. Lives forever in the soul of that car. He will ride again. ♥️♥️
God bless Pam for letting her husbands car go to a new loving owner. That’s a tough thing many can not do. Beautiful Mach I!!! Enjoy!
Should get the Escort EXP out for Pam!! SHINE it up, back out on the road, a BIG thank you to Pam.
The Greatest Respect goes to Pam! Getting the car back to where her husband wanted it to be,and the public can enjoy it .thank you PAM!! You are a beautiful lady
What a sweet caring lady very proud that someone will take care of the car so her husband's memory will live on
It’s going to be sold off for a profit lol
My late cousin had a 70 Boss, these are some of the nicest Mustangs Ford ever built, what a beauty.
I about fell out of my chair when you said Ithaca MI. I have lived here or in the immediate area all my life. Its the definition of small town USA. I have seen first hand what is inside some of these old barns you find in the county. Its so cool to see such a treasure pulled out of one. What a cool story and video. Thank you for taking us along.
Picturesque, watch for this in Motor Trend online in a few weeks and in Hot Rod in print later on.
Great story and a beautiful car. I just hated not seeing it taken to a professional detailer. Someone who has the right knowledge and product to use could really do wonders.
*PAM!*
She's the star of this episode, hands down. The decision to sell the Mach 1 must have been so very
difficult - as will the other machinery to come, no doubt.
You do your late husband great honor in finding proper stewards for the car, etc.
God bless you and yours!
*JERRY!*
The dignity and respect with which you present these stories of the cars and the people associated
with them is a RARE thing in our society these days - so as always, *thank you* for sharing them all
with us and I wish you the safest of travels until the next one, sir!
-Ed on the Ridge
That lady’s a little cutie.
Thanks Ed, appreciate your feedback very much.
I just want to give Pam a big hug. God Bless her.
Wow! Just Wow! To see one in that condition after all these years is just incredible. Pam seems like such a wonderful gal, so sweet of her to let us in on some of the story.
Exactly.
*Who new Burl Ives was into cars? Great machine.*
Can you only imagine what this would bring at auction, not that I’d do that, but WOW!
@@robhawthorne6892 so only about money greedy bastard
It’s in a lot better place now than sitting in that barn, at least it can be cared for & taken care of now. It’s never good to let a vehicle sit, but thank goodness it was kept inside. Or otherwise it would’ve been rotted away by now. Good Barn find 👍and looks like it’s going to a awesome new owner who will give it the TLC it needs.
As long as you can keep the moisture off it and the mice out of it, a car may last many years. Of course all the rubber may have to be replaced, hoses, belts and suspension and steering bushings.
What a fantastic car, and a fantastic story. Pam was a gracious host ... Congrats to everyone. 👏😎🇺🇲
Wow... that's the first "barn find" mustang I've seen where the rear spoiler is in an actual position where it will work as a spoiler. Nice car .. wow.!!
That car cleaned up SO WELL. Wow. Polish it up, clean it up, and drive it! It's beautiful enough to be a nice car, but not perfect enough to where you're afraid to drive it all the time.
Joe, I am so happy that you got that Mach. I knew Phil and I know he is smiling!!! There is no one with a bigger heart than Pam!! That is the quality of people around our small town of Ithaca.
S.O.A.B.!!! I don't know what the purchase price was, but this has got to be THE nicest cleanest barn find Mustang I've ever seen. Joe now owns an original survivor. I pray he does nothing to it.. except work done for safety reasons. Jerry, another great one!
I'm glad that this Mustang was stored INSIDE, in a solid building, not on DIRT. This has to be one of the most solid rust free barn finds I have witnessed!
It’s great to see such a great car restored back to life so it and its historic legacy can live on forever.
So cool to see these still to be found. That will be stunning when all tidied up and driving again. Hope to see a follow up!
That's the plan!
@@thewriter2549 Yes definitely keep the follow ups coming. Looking forward already to seeing what Pam will think of it all!
@@thewriter2549 Sorry to bother you but it seems like you just send me a message that I want some prize let me know if this is a scam from somebody else I think it’s coming from China or Russia not sure but if this is legit please let me know thank you so much and God bless you ✝️✝️✝️
@@loveofchrist5808 so sorry, that is somebody that has been attacking my channel. Please everybody let me know when this happens. I go in an click on "hide" this person from the channel.
@@thewriter2549 thank you very much for letting me know I’ve heard about this that’s why I wanted to let you know what happened to me so with this in mind I’ll spread the word God bless you sir stay safe it’s crazy times we live in Jesus Christ is right around the corner take care my brother I love you as my brother. ✝️✝️
Definitely would like to see this on the road. Please keep us updated once she's road worthy. Great find and story.
I have such respect for someone who will not destroy this timepiece it is almost perfect as is as far as looks just preserve this and enjoy
As a previous Mach 1 owner , it’s a stunner .
As the owner of a 68 Mustang coupe for 45 years, I can tell you there's nothing like it. My car is a lifelong Southern California car, 289, automatic with factory AC. Undercarriage is basically pristine. Once you fall in love with it, you'll never sell, I've turned down offers of 20.000 for mine, yes, its that nice. You have something very special there, I would definitely take it to have the Undercarriage fully cleaned, inspected, and treated for rust, and anything that needs replacing done. Definitely paint the lower valance. Other than that, she is a beautiful car. And for God's sake. Don't use STEEL WOOL on the chrome!! It will scratch the hell out of it. Turtle wax CHROME cleaner, and a soft cloth, and elbow grease will remove the rust very well. Thats what I have used for decades on my Mustang, and all the chrome on my 58 cadillac, and it keeps the chrome gleaming. Good luck and congratulations on acquiring such a special Mustang!!
Agreed! I’ve owned mine for 45 years as well. Wasn’t supposed to be the forever car, it just happened.
Bonjour,
Quand je vois les prix d’une voiture comme ça en France ! Chez nous cette voiture pour les passionnés et connaisseurs c’est le saint graal !
Ici en super état une voiture comme ça atteint les 100.000€
I’ve had my 66 mustang for 42 1/2 years. Never sell it. That’s a sweet car.
@@jerrypuckett6733 bought mine in 77, it’s been 45 1/2 for me. Never intended it to be the forever car, it just happened.
Ford and Farmall! I would have gotten along very well with this man. And his wife what a sweet lady! Man I love seeing these type of stories and finds. Nice people for sure.
You and me both!
My Dad had a Mach 1 and this car was the spitting image of my Dads! Thank you for posting this wonderful story. Gosh does this bring back memories! I too remember these whipping back when my Dad “got into it”! Really fun!
Very cool!
If that was my car, I wouldn't even restore it. I would make sure its in running and driving condition. You simply cannot replicate a survivor.
i would consider that car a true survivor. well done sir, a real head turner.
God bless you Pam I'm so happy that you'll be able to see the car and probably even ride in it after it's fixed up that would be fantastic.

This find is made so much better with the stories she told as you were getting the car out.
Great car, great story, congratulations. Goes to show they're still out there. Too bad Larry from AMMO NYC couldn't have done his magic on it. He's the best and has brought back far worse to their highest original potential.
Skinner Hound, I was just thinking the same thing ....
Excellent guys, truly is like finding gold. I can appreciate this, with much respect. Hallelujah 🙏
Great Video on a Great Find...but just for fun, to my knowledge, FoMoCo never used an Acrylic Enamel on production cars. They used and perfected the use of a Red-Oxide primer under all colors [even a few parts like differential center sections] with an Alkyd or whats known as a Synthetic Enamel. Old timers called it "Straight Enamel." They achieved the gloss, flow, and durability by baking the fresh paint at nearly 160 degrees. Once again, Nice Car. And I wouldn't restore that survivor.
Acrylic enamel is the term that I've heard famous Mustang restorers use for many years. I've never heard anybody say synthetic enamel.
@@thewriter2549 Although Sherwin-Williams was working on pioneering the chemistry for their new Automotive-style Acrylic Enamel by the late 60s it wasn't released for use until the early 1970s, in some areas not until even later. And Poly-Iscocyanate catalysts were not perfected or available until the late 70s to early 80s. Also, a non-catalyzed Acrylic Enamel would not work well with factory-type baking systems either and a respray could be a disaster that led to the car being crushed and tax-credited. Moreover, the all-new "30-minute paint" [Acrylic Enamel] could not be hotsprayed. GM however did release Magic-Mirror Acrylic Lacquer in 1962 replacing their old-style nitrocellulose-based paints.
It is good to see old iron brought back to life instead of horded until it turns to dust. I am sure it was hard to let it go, but it can now go make new memories for others.
Damn ... that thing look good cleaned up. One of the best I’ve seen in a while
What a story, and what a car! The red on red is a beautiful color combination.
Man! The excitement of taking the side of the barn off and the car seeing sunlight for the first time in all those years!!!! Wish I could of been there!
You need to take that kind lady for a nice ride after you get this beautiful car running again. What a find!!!!!
Great story and great people so happy the new owner is including Pam on the next stage of the cars life! Amazing how well the car cleaned up after all these years!
That’s probably one most beautiful mustangs I’ve seen. That color is gorgeous! Congratulations
My dad had a 1970 mach1 4 speed with a 351 that was destroyed in a fire... Last year I bought a 1969 428 4 speed in raven black... I can't wait to make memories with him and my kids when I have them!
Wonderful save. Congratulations on your purchase. Can’t wait to see it running and/or restored, or driven as is
greetings from Scotland! ...car looks great....some soapy water and a hose transformed it....being ticked away in the garage there certainly preserved it...look forward to seeing it driving on the road!
I'm glad she sold it to someone who would appreciate it instead of just letting it rot away . Awesome lady❤️.
And it's in my favorite color!
It has already been rotted away and run into the ground, to restore that car back like new, would exceed the value of one that has already been restored. Why don’t you people ever get it?
You could see how much she loves that car reminds her of her husband and the time they spent together in their life that’s what I mean by the barn holds nothing but family memories
I love these videos. Just good people and a killer car. All Pam has to do is wait until the Mach 1 is cleaned up and restored a little bit and then the waterworks will start flowing when the memories come back. Very nice lady!
Another epic video Jerry !!! I pray he keeps it original & just gets it sorted mechanically.
He'd surely win the preservation award at any show.
Great story. Great to see car is going to the right person.
The best part was she still gets to be around the car and enjoy it. Not many buyers ever see the car again. This was a nice survivor car.
She's a sweetheart of a lady. Her husband had good taste in cars and women
The car takes me back 50 years. What a beautiful car and a lovely story to go with it. Pam you are a beautiful person.
I love it. I had a teacher in high school who had the first Mustang sold by our local dealer. He later bought a new '66 GT hi-po fastback, a '69 Mach 1 351 4V, and a '70 Boss 302. Then he married and traded the Boss on a '73 Ford pickup.
That was just magical, Jerry. I was awestruck the entire time. I love the way you put these videos together. I felt like I got to be a part of something really special. Thank you!
Thanks for the compliment Jordan. Makes it feel worthwhile.
What a beautiful car and I love your videos. My only complaint is, I wish you had more videos. Always great back stories. Would love to see someone help Pam get her car out of that barn and help her get it running and driving, so that she can enjoy it again
Or she might be reminded of what a throw away crap box it is.
Glad Jerry was there to video document this fascinating story, which itself is now part of this Mach I's history. It cleaned up beautifully. Great automotive design is timeless as this car proves.
That Ford Ltd in back of the Mustang brought memories back to me. My father bought a car just like that from a older couple that was in mint condition when I was a teenager. My father loved 😍 that car; we all did. Ford LTD classic, that car probably has been in that barn just as long as the Mustang and probably is also in mint condition. Whoever buys that car is going to love it.
I remember looking at the brochures of this exact car when it came out. Our neighbor had a 69 428 but it was just a standard Mach1. Did not have the rear wing or the rear window slats 69 and 70 are my two favorites beside the 67 Fastback Mustang I owned 2-70 Mustangs and a 65 289 hypo was my first car once you own a Mustang it's in your blood forever I don't care what car fan you are GM Chrysler AMC. Once you drive a Mustang you're hooked. I am completely amazed the great condition of this sitting in a barn for 40 years in Michigan yet unbelievable.
I like the way u washed the car. U took ur time. Not like other RUclipsrs, they just pressure wash it and ruining some parts accidentally. Well done 👍
Yeah, much better to take your time , rubbing all the abrasive dirt around on the paint with a rag. Ever think there is a reason a pressure washer ( touchless) is used so often and why there are touchless car washes that use high pressure water. It doesn't hurt anything but does a much better deep cleaning.
What a trip down memory lane!! Mine could have been the twin brother of your's, except for the engine (mine was a 351C) and the color of the upholstery (mine was the usual black), right down to the calypso red color, the 4-speed manual transmission an it's Hurst T-handle.
Thanks for the movie - can't wait for a follow up, especially when you are going to restore that 428 thunder bucket to life!
I cried when Pam got emotional. The best of the best guys.

I've owned a 68 Mustang coupe for over 10 years with a stroker 408, And my 1st car was a 69 Mach1 and mine was black Jade 428R code. My dad brought it home on a car Dolly in 1979 He paid $300 for it. The big block was in the trunk busted up in pieces. He's a very lucky man keep it as original as possible because it's only original once.
Nice car , best barn find I’ve seen .. happy days ahead 😎,🇬🇧
It's amazing to see there's still these barn finds year after year. I never understood why owners let vehicles sit for 40 years, but my Dad did the same thing on a 66 Chrysler 300 when I was young. Sat for my entire childhood and rusted into the ground. Life and its problems get in the way of your dreams sometimes. At least this Mustang was stored inside, although I'm sure the pack rats have destroyed all the wiring. Will be cool to see an update video if this one is restored
We found no traces of mice or other animals or insects. Several viewers commented the "dryer sheets" lying on the carpet and seats kept mice away. I was not aware of this and should have asked what those sheets were in the car.
Very cool barn find!! Cleaned up really well!!
Pam is wonderful. What she is doing with the car is what is most respectful to the history of her husband and the car. How many times have we all seen cars that the owners are letting sit because they supposedly have some sort of sentimental connection to it? And they won’t sell them and they won’t fix them and it always makes me think that there’s nothing less sentimental and respectful to the memories connected to the car than to let it sink into the ground and rot.
That will be a awesome restoration. Beautiful car. 428 Cobra Jet Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful car. Man that thing cleaned up nice after all those years.
yes, amazing Mach 1
A great story and video. I could almost feel your tears has I believe that your passed loved one was right there with you with the biggest smile and his heart full of joy and pride knowing that his “Red Baby” was coming back to life with some good folks. You chose the right folks to sell this beauty to. You all are blessed...
I am Glad to see the owner make sure this car goes to a good Home instead of a
" Profiteer ".
Best Wishes from Montana M.H
Always had an appreciation for old cars, especially Ford's, they're my favorite and consider myself a Ford enthusiast. I don't make enough to aquire anything like this in decent shape, I have owned a few rarities which I loved and restored as best I could slowly, piece by piece, some were pretty far gone. None were my top favorites, but I loved them all because of their uniqueness. Some were cool in ways people didn't even realize. Turning heads with my SHO Taurus's motor sound or cruising in my Thunderbird super coupe, or my 85 Nissan Z31 always put a grin on my face. Was an absolute blast. Really hope he understands what he's been blessed with, wish we could all be so lucky.
Thanks for saving a family.
Absolute legend!! The memories she has with that car!!
Its so nice to see these old cars get rescued
This car is a time capsule find of a life time. Absolutely incredible. It’s every persons dream to find a car of their dreams. Cars are more than just vehicles we car enthusiasts have they are part of us in every way. It’s who we are. Can’t wait to see part 2 or 3. Great video
A lifetime where it sat 4/5ths of its life stuffed in the back of a barn.
That looks really good! My 1st car was a 1964.5 Mustang. My Grandma bought it new when she lived in Belair California, she moved in with us in 1968. We lived in the burbs of Chicago. I took over the Mustang in 1976. It was my 1st car, boy how I loved that car!❤️
Great present for a first car!
What I wouldn't give to have that car or get lucky and find one in a barn like that! Amazing! Man it cleaned up beautifully!
Really great story. Thanks for sharing it with us all
Wow that Ford EXP is a cool find as well. It's getting hard to find obscure 80s cars in that good a shape.
I know I'm not the only one that wishes they could go back in time to this period and, knowing what we know now, purchased as many of these as possible and kept them safe until 2022.
I absolutely loved how this Mach I cleaned up. Generally not a fan of red interior, but it looks great in this car!
Hated to see this episode end, Jerry 😊👍
Thanks, and I agree on the interior. In that dark barn with our flashlights those Vermillion seats are what really stood out the most to me on this barn find.
@@thewriter2549 So looking forward to updates on this car especially the details as to how he keeps it as original as possible yet a GREAT driver, your style is world class!!!
Wow! What a wonderful video, thank you. It looks like Pam has found the perfect new owner for this Mach 1. Please can we have a follow-up on getting it running and the first drive?
I bought mine off the showroom floor back in 1969. What a joy it was to drive. Same red color but black inside.
Those black Michigan plates came out in 1979, but were renewed by a yearly sticker through 1982. The stickers may have only been applied on the rear plate.
I'd like to hear how that sounds with the seventies era bullet mufflers.
Not gonna lie, this one brought tears to my eyes. Great story, and the fact that car is in my top 5 dream cars. Thanks for this.
What an amazing experience to have been shared with other vintage mustang enthusiasts like myself.... nothing like 4 speed fun!
I certainly recognize how the lady feels at around 15 minutes, selling an old part of your family history after the elders are gone. Yep, tears for sure,,,,,
I think that is my favorite classic Mustang hands down. So much about this car is prefect. What a find!!!
Best car show on RUclips or anywhere! I love that you focus especially on rare musclecars!
Just an amazing find! There's nothing like a classic mustang. Have fun with it and don't be afraid to over polish it. Lol.
Thanks for sharing this original barn find and this authentic piece of American History. Enjoy every second of this beautiful muscle car.
What an absolutely amazing barn find. What a gem. Thanks for sharing.
I was stoked to hear in the end that he wasn't going to paint it!! that acrylic enamel can be polished out nicely and there's people out there that can professionally detail that interior ....it looks amazing for sitting that long!! can't wait to see more! oh and before u get rid of the exhaust fire it up with the glass packs plz lol
Great point!
New gas tank ...lines ..and lead additive ... make sure u get some oil with zink in it as well ... if u can, prime the oil pump if you want to be really carfull.. I'd prob rebuild that carb too before u really Start driving it ..
That is a wonderful moment in life, lucky for you guys, blessings to all of you.
That was incredible to watch step by step telling its story ! I am now in my late 50s a guy had a bright yellow Boss Mustang Mach 1 ( Phill Oosley) apologise if I got spelling wrong , I would here it come past our school with that V8 burble . We would cheer him on and he would floor it for us lol . I live in the UK 🇬🇧I’ve been into cars all my life ever since I was a toddler my dad and brother too . Your a lucky man Phill 👍🏻✌️👏👏👏👏
You just got yourself a beautiful mustang Mach 1 . My very first forward with a 60 F100 with 390 a C6 transmission and it had giddy up. Old cars are appreciated and you're going to appreciate that you got a beautiful car.
Thanks for the video. That Mustang cleaned up remarkably well.
Wow that’s an awesome find right in my backyard.
Please post more video updates on this as you get it running
Dang Soooon! The interior of this Mustang Mach 1 looks like Brand New! ❤ it's a time capsule when you open the door it doesn't seem like time has passed, nothing has aged after 40 Years in the Barn. Just Incredible🙌😮💯
Yeah, who would have thought dryer sheets were the fountain of youth for cars?
Time Capsule filled with memories! Congrats for this finding and enjoy!
