I won a $400 97 Ford Mustang GT 5 Speed from IAA - Sight Unseen!! Does it Run?
#IAA #MustangGT #Ford
It’s a early sign Nick wants that car 😂
I wish I could get a car like that.
I'd say let Nick pick the color 😉
Perfect to start learning on his age, this is a great car for that too.
Man if I was your child and I was in high school I would keep it for me honestly help you fix it of course
He should give it to him.
Why the heck would you cold rev it after it’s been sitting for a long time
With old and very low oil, I was cringing!
It’s a 2v it’ll live
But yeah cringed very hard at that
Because its a $400 pos.
Yeah thats what i thought.
I think you should keep it as a project for you and nick... Then give it to him when he turns 16
Do they have to do a theory test over in the USA
@@neilmurphy845 For driving license? Most states have a written test then a road test. PA you have to have so many hours of driving with an adult before you can take the driving test. Luckily it wasn’t like that when I was 16... I took my driving test like 2 weeks after passing the written test.
@@KandBDoormasters ya PA sounds excaly like Ireland I wounder do they get screwed over by tax and insurance in Ireland if you don't have n plates you have to have a full licence driver with you and you have to wait for mouths and years before you can do your driving test
@@neilmurphy845
Same thing here in British Columbia, Canada. Graduated license with an L on the car for Learner to start and only with a licensed driver over a certain age. Then after a period of time you can drive at night or with passengers so long as you have a licensed driver over a certain age. If you caught drinking or racing ect your license dreams are on hold for a very long time. You buy your auto insurance from a private seller but the province provides the insurance. They also control the police, make the laws ect so their control is mighty tight.
@@fasteddy917 ow over hear it's different you buy the insurance from a company like SuperValu insurance or Axca
I’ll be dipped ? Someone watched vise grip garage lol
the boy got a soul bond with this car, give it to him it's only 400 but to see that the child cares about something is priceless
I want to give my 95 Gt to my nephew, but my sister knows the work I put into it, and it's quite the track animal. She has made me promise that I would not give my weekend track and drag car to my nephew. I feel like the biggest hypocrite remembering all the fun I had driving it at his age. All it does now is sit in my garage.
appears to be package 248A base gt I had one and loved it
I say do the build with Nick give the Car the kid. It will give you and him some bonding time.
i agreee, bonding with your kid is the best in the world.
What color does Nick want? Make it a project for him and give it to him..
@@thomascarleton8760 my thoughts exactly
That’s exactly what I want to do with my son. It would be neat to see Nick help out with it.
Yes! Neck needs that car.
Looks like a standard 1997 GT interior to me. I sold them new. "It's got all you need and nothing you don't" as we used to say. A/C, pwr windows, locks, came with a factory cassette with a c/d option, etc. Nice find
Kids n cars are a natural. He is the same age I was when my dad started letting me wrench on his car with him. He will remember these days all his life.
BALLS TO THE WALL.. HELL YEAH MAN, 400 BUCKS. THAT'S A STEAL! MAKES FOR A GREAT FATHER / SON PROJECT TO DO SOME MODS. GOD BLESS AND HAPPY TRAILS.
Nick should have his own mic. Hes in love with the stang.
Should Randy tune-up & re-build this Mustang with some cool 'Saleen' parts for it's kid birthday ?
I would do it for my kid.. I bet that Nick would be flipping happy to have that for it's first car, LOL.. (Stay tuned..) ;0)
Nice buy and I am not even big on Fords! You scored big time! I really like those mustangs. GIVE THE MUSTANG TO THE KID! He dropped everything for that car, came out, and offered to help without being told to! You can fix it up together, so when he starts driving he has something he built with his own hands and can appreciate it a lot more! Just have to teach him to respect the power and not race it around on the street! Take care and God bless! David
When it's done you should consider giving it to Nick.
I thought that was a foregone conclusion.
Agreed.
Great idea!
You know how you have that one moment that made you become a car guy
Well this is Nick's moment
Nick is such a great boy helping out! I'm sure he can see himself in one like it one day. I was just like that with my dad's 65 fastback. I was the one cleaning and washing it for him. That car is what made me a Mustang fan and car guy. This one looks like a great project car for both of you!
when I was his age I LOVED washing my mom & dad's vehicles! It gave me the opportunity to move the car to the back yard so I could wash it, I was all over that!
looks like nick prefers the mustang rather than the ps5
I would too
Lol I got my 96 v6 for 300
Fuck playstation you need xbox
@@miketerbrake7358 not this again
The fact that Nick is a real car guy for his age shows some faith in humanity.
I am to and I’m 10
LOOKS like a father son project an hopefully he gets more interested in doing more with you good life lessons he will remember for life
This mustang number 1 you'll have to get different years for the collection.
Give the boy this car. Make a series where you both restore it together.
Nice to hear and see how you and Nick worked around the car. An old car like this still has a chance against a video game. 🚗
went from not even thinking it had a motor, to first cold start in years straight to 4K rpm 😂 hell yea
video has sentimental value, let's let Nick pick everything for it.
This looks like Nicks first car project never to young for a car lol
michael simms I own a fiero and I’m twelve😂😂
Purple was factory available in those years and is relatively rare. Red is everywhere. I would go the Plum Crazy myself.
Plum crazy is a Mopar color not a Ford color
Whites actually pretty rare too on the sn95 model have only seen 2 in my life. Tons of red and black. Add a cam and bigger throttle body it will really wake up
@@Floreypottery in the south you only see white for some reason
@@79tazman No kidding. It was a better purple than the Ford version so that's why I said "if it were me". If I change colors on a car I pick the shade, not what kind of car it came on originally.
@@Floreypottery I guess it's a regional thing? Around us white is fairly common too.
Biggest problem with humans of Nick's age is the absence of a RANDY to 'mentor' them (as you have shown). Best thing to do with Nick is EXPLOIT him and be there to catch him if he were to fall. Make a list of everything he did to his brain while messing with this car. You've helped him tremendously to open new avenues of 'how to think & do'. You both got a hell of a lot more than a clean car. Congratulations to both of you. And he'll never wonder if he'll get a car with all the ones you come into. I'm jealous of what you men have done! Sonny (CT)
That's the perfect "first time car" for Nick.
I wish I had half the luck you do in life let alone that much luck. Happy for you and glad you got a good deal on it! 🙂
Randy never start revving on an engine immediately after startup after sitting for so long
How are you supposed to keep it running? It kept stalling. Its fuel injected its fine.
@@ryanravencaller Oils can take up to 2 minutes to reach the valve train from start up.
@@MrMairu555 well then he should've removed the plugs and put some marvel mystery oil down the sparkplug holes, wait for it to seep down put the plugs in, start it and rev away, really doesnt matter cause it practically had no oil on the dipstick, maybe 1 quart in the system if that, he even says it in the video, it's his car, no weird noises or anything happened so I'd say its fine 🤷♂️ for 400 it's a beater or a project to build. I've ran a car with no oil at all for about a mile til the oil pressure light came on, turned out that car was burning oil and had a bad head gasket 🤷♂️
@@ryanravencaller not when he first started it, they started it and he revved it cold with zero knowledge of history and how long it’s been sitting. Could definitely cause valve train issues, who knows how long it’s been sitting plus low oil. But honestly I doubt it it won’t do anything major but me myself I wouldn’t have done it so soon
Yes its never a good idea but it will be fine. Obviously isnt good for it but its not gonna take a 100k miles off the lifespan or anything
Hi Randy - It’s great to see Nick in a video. I was worried that we hadn’t seen him since he’s been back. Thank you for explaining about the video games and the reason. I certainly would like to see you go as far as you desire on the Mustang. Maybe you could let Nick pick the color as a reward for his hard work. Great content!
I got a tear in my eye when that thing fired up for the first time. I love these old Mustangs. Awesome that Nick wants to help working on this car too
Ford. Yep itll start!
This could be one of my favourite videos you've uploaded. Thanks heaps mate! Looking forward watching the upgrades.
Consider allowing Nick to choose the color for the repaint - would help to keep him involved as well as reward his participation.
Nick's already in love with it, good project for bonding & a first car for him. Let him made some decisions on how to make the car look. You won't regret it & he'll remember it for a life time......
Glad to see you get a good one. Nice to see Nick helping you with the car. Could be a great first car for him. 👍
My dad used to race Chevrolet’s but for some reason when I saw my first new edge Mustang I was in love. Here I am at 23 finally owning one and I love it to death. I hope nick has the same experience!
You should definitely give this car to nick when he turns 16, it’s pretty clear that he really likes it!
Sounds to me like Nick is ready to become a gearhead, I would bet that rebuilding a Mustang GT as his first project would really get him started right!
It's a 4.6, was anyone really surprised? Great score Randy!
"What could be in this box?"
Considering it says "Starter" on the box, I'm guessing it's a starter.
Hell Nick might want that Mustang And a few years when he gets old enough to drive who knows
That's awesome man! That's how I started getting into vehicles! You and him fix it up together and let him have it and he'll never be the same, trust me!! He would spend more time with it then the phone
This and the swamp corvette have me super excited
Nick stopped playing his video games to work on that car? It’s a Mustang, he knows it’s a classic. You should definitely give it to him, it could be his project car.
I have a 95 GT, owned it for almost 17 years, just got my engine rebuilt with a swap from automatic to standard shift. So much worth it , keeping mine for life.
Good build for you and your son.he likes it. You won't regret the work or the time.
I love these early SN-95’s! Look so much better than the “new edge” styling of the later models. I would keep the wheels myself. I think they’re way cool!
Randy is one of those guys that won't listen to people about wearing gloves til he puts his hands where he'll regret.
And eye protection. I don't wish him any harm, in any way, but it's only a matter of time.
Live free or die.
LOL
Love how excited Nick is about this car! Keep this one around, work on it with Nick. There are so many things that can be swapped/upgraded on these cars he could learn so much with you! Awesome find, awesome video. 👍🏼👍🏼
BEST TEACHING BONDING OPPORTUNITY EVER FOR YOU and NICK EVER!!(Go For It DAD !!!!!.... )👍😊
get a wench from harbor frieght and bolt it to the floor against the back wall of the shop to drag cars in
That is a really great starter car for Nick. Dirt, dirt simple. Uncomplicated. Include him in all of the diagnostics and repairs and upgrades. Get his input on the new paint color and pattern. I'm seeing black with a silver stripe down the side from taillight to headlight and body line to body line. Fix up all those plastic components and shifter boot. Fix the hood latch, that's No. 1. Get a fuse box cover before you power wash the engine bay. Power wash the edges of the door and the door jam, the underside of the trunk lid and that grody trunk gutter. Weld up that hole in the trunk floor. Redo the tint. That might find that the window seals on the passenger's door have permanently etched the exterior of that glass and it should be replaced.
Yeah. You got a great little runabout and when he turns 16, Nick's got a cool car to step into immediately, and one he's been intimately involved in every step of the rehab of.
I’ve found myself wanting one of those Gt mustangs and I’m not even a Ford guy at all lol
I have a strong feeling your not alone with that feeling. Great car.
haha most ridiculous vid on one of these came from „jimbo‘s channel“ 😂
Perfect candidate for a GT-H clone. Black with 2 fat Hertz yellow stripes. Old school Cragar S&S 5 spokes and a loud, honking exhaust. What a score!!
Nothing better than hearing that first crank!
Was it a college kid who just went back home and abandoned the car? This thing is wicked! Red mustang would be the best!
Major score! This is my favorite kind of video from AAR! But also love them all. Great job!
The first video I saw of yours been watching ever since. Love sn95 stangs. Thanks for the years of great auction entertainment. I'm a wholesaler so I know exactly what you're talking about. Thanks again 👍🏿🙏🏿.
You are so good to us Randy! Just what I needed today. Thanks!!!
I bought a 97 Mustang GT convertible automatic with leather interior for my oldest son. He drove it through highschool and college. He got my dad's 4runner and the mustang went to a family friend. Still running although paint needs a lot of love.
That thing is a beast! One hell of a steal
What a great bonding experience for you and Nick. Also I agree that it should be a first car for him. 👍
I'm 15 and that 1998 Ford Mustang GT is my favourite car. And I love it even more thanks to ChrisFix
Has been sitting for years. Cold starts it. Revs it to 4k instantly 🥴😅
That was a steal! $400 for the car and Nick loves it!
When I had my shop, and was working alone. I bolted a truck winch to the floor across from the door. In they come..easy
“I’ll be dipped!” Shout out to Vice Grip Garage! 👍👍👍😂😂😂
I subscribed to your channel for videos like this. I enjoy these type where you bid, win, take them for drives to figure them out. The unknown is what makes the video for me. Copart walk-arounds get a bit stale, but getting the car and doing start to finish are the best IMHO.
I think I'm with everyone else. Let Nick learn and respect the Tang. Teach him to be responsible and safe. Give him a goal to study hard and work to get the Mustang.
Had to watch again! Love this mustang! Still blows me away that you got it for 400!!
I'm glad you got some help we love that kid
Randy you are the King of auction bargains. Your girlfriends son is learning to love cars. I love your channel.
I hope you bring this one back to glory randy! Great score!
I've always had a soft spot for these pre-New Edge SN95's. I know I'm in the huge minority, but I think they're the best-looking Mustangs outside of the obligatory 1st gens that everyone (including me) drools over. I just wish it was easier to make them decently fast.
The idea of making a restoration is simply awesome, l liked the white color.
Same happened with my son. Always online but dropped it all because of a car. Now he is the proud owner of a 98 eclipse and doesn't have a license yet. It went from a project to OUR project. Worth far more than the car!!
that stang in a Maaco dark blue or a midnight purple would look sick with some nice wheels and lowering springs
Add some gt stripes like from a 1970. Boss
love this. not my fav body style but its still a great find. looking forward to seeing it come back to life. Suggestion for you. seems Nick has taken a liking to this car. would be a good surprise to gift it to him after you restore it. would be a great first car for him. paint it metallic deep blue or let Nick pick the color.
I’m wondering if this was an impound car that was sold for scrap when the owner never came back for it. But definitely a score 👍. And speaking as a father if it gets the kid away from video games it might be worth keeping this one around.👍👍👍
Fix it up and give it to Nick for his very own.He is a excited kid about the Mustang.
Hey Randy I think Nick should pick the color of his new car
Yeah definitely at least the color if not other tricks & mods.. he he.. ;0)
After serving in the Navy I bought a white '97' mustang with cash and used it through college. This brings back so many memories. Mine was an automatic V6 and the interior was the brown on black but close enough.
I would look over every piece of paper in the car to try and get some idea of the cars previous history ,, :-)
I agree 100% on that
I owned one like this for 4 years and it was my best car! Track days, time attack handled with no problem! So regret that I sold it and both BMW. GT manual now shoots in value here in Canada.
That's funny he got so excited he tried to rip off the door off 😅😅😅
The mustang would be a great project for both Nick and yourself, let him help you pick the colour, after being made safe and roadworthy, it would be a great first car for your son.
Install a winch on the garage by the wall wen you open the door so you can pull the cars
My first brand new Stang was a ‘94 with that body design, couldn’t afford the v8. Have a ‘14 GT vert in SGM today with Eibach 2” sport lowering springs, rough ride FYI. I think your son needs to pick the color but that’s just me:). Got my 19 yr old daughter an ‘07 v6 premium vert in black with red leather interior. She is now a Mustang lover for life as is your son seeing his reaction. Can’t wait to see the next vid on this one!
It was cheap I'm like the rest you and nick fix it give it to him the memories is priceless
I used to have a red 97 GT and loved that car! Can never go wrong with the 4.6 and 5 speed!
Chrisfix called, he wants that cheap Mustang! 😂 It's nice to see your son starting to grow interest in fixing cars, I originally played games until my dad came home with a project truck. Man, working on that truck was fun than playing video games!
And since it's the 4.6, with some p71 interceptor modifications, you can make it a lot more powerful than a stock 5.0. I think after your done, you should take it to Weird Beard's, and just park it there and surprise your son with the car on Christmas day 😄 He absolutely adores that car!
Wow Sweet Deal Randy You'll Bring It Back to Life
Randy sounds like you been watching vice grip garage lately all be dipped
Awesome! She runs! This is a childhood project for Nick and he will learn a lot. He will probably enjoy it as his first car.
Plum crazy purple with sterling gray stripes would look good on that GT.
I am 14 years old and I love your videos it teaches me so much and I have fixed several cars around and even fixed one of them it was a 1990 Ford F150 and I got it running and I sold it
I think Nick wants that car, You should give it to him
I agree. I was lucky enough to get 2 classic Mustangs as a kid, my parents were divorced, lol!!! One, the 68 289 coupe was from up north and had severely rusted unibody but the 65 289 coupe would go on to be my first car that I actually drove. It barely ran when my mom and step-dad bought it for me. I think I was 13 or 14 at the time. I learned about cars on it, did my first oil change, car stereo install, replaced things like valve covers, the alternator, starter solenoid, carburetor, and really got an appreciation for turning my own wrenches and learned a lot about cars in the process.
Ironically, this car now is not a whole lot younger than my 1965 Mustang was when my mom and step-dad bought it for me in 1991 or 92. That is pretty hard to believe for me because I drove my 65 Mustang to the unveiling of the SN95 Mustangs in Clearwater, FL in late 1993. I can remember when they were first released which I guess is a sign that you're getting old. LOL!!!
I agree with others commenting , Nick has shown his first spark of interest,
it would kill him to not fix that car up for him as a first car for him to learn in and inspire his love for mechanics
, I struggle with the kids and there iPads pods whatever there into ,
don’t tell him though keep it a secret and then surprise him when you go to sell it tell him you already found an owner 😂 , love your work Randy 🙏
Did the suspension seem a little bouncy might need some coil overs 😉👍
Give some wrenching time with Nick. He remember this car for a kong time. Great content !!
He is better off going with blue if he is keeping it.
Randy you can make this a fun car for Nick. He is clearly interested. Great project for you and your son
Randy: Does tons of auction walkarounds
Also Randy: Buys all his auction cars sight unseen 😂
true
He does the walk around for us and still he buys sight unseen LMFAO
I just bought 2 cars sight unseen from auction like rookie..won’t do that again
Not All are sight unseen ( OR IN PERSON) !!! C’MON,Be FAIR Now!!!! lol
