  • I bought a 1967 Ford Mustang for $2500 that I'm told has been sitting since 1986. The guy I bought it from was helping a friend sell it. He pressure washed it and wiped down the interior. Let's dive in and see if I SCORED or if this is a BUST!

    Wow, she's rusty. Maybe someone with skills can replace the rotted sheet metal and save it but if nothing else, it would be a great donor to a solid '64 to '68 Mustang with a 6cyl for a V8 conversion. What I LOVE about your channel is that you're an average guy and keep it real - no TV show or giant shop - you do all this the way so many of us do - working in our garage with what tools we have on whatever projects we can afford. That's what makes this such a great channel. Love it. Keep up the good work! 👍

    We drove everywhere in that car. Loved the dash. Played pretend in the car and it felt like being in an airplane! One of the nicest, base cars with a great sporty look, or a powerplant to match the look. Ran the full range. Great memories!

    Seeing this one kinda breaks my heart. Though power steering was optional, its rare to find one without it. I have a 68 Mustang I bought in 1977 that was in nearly new condition. Lifelong Southern California car. No rust issues. Diamond blue, with 2 tone blue interior, White vinyl top, 289, power steering, Factory AC, automatic, its in beautiful condition inside and out. Still on the road. It kills me to see what rust does to vehicles. If only it had been stored in a good garage ! Always enjoy your videos, I subscribed long ago.

      @johnfranklin5277 2 месяца назад

      Yes true. I was surprised to see all the dash metal was RUSTED TOO. I was born a huge car guy. In 1960 my parents bought a 1958 cadillac from a Doctor friend of theirs. I was 1 year old. It has RARE FACTORY AC! Thats the first car I fell in love with. Unfortunately in 1963 my parents divorced after 20 years of marriage. Mom got the house and the caddy. By 5 years old I was washing the car every Saturday. As I got older I was in charge of maintenance, oil changes, Spark plugs replacement, etc...Which i enjoyed doing. I think God knew I would be a car nut, and put me in Southern California! Lol. Mom knew I wanted the cadillac BAD!, And in 1982 she gave it to me. Its in good shape, and on the road. So I have 2 cars I'm taking care of. Of course I have new cars for everyday use. Its fun taking them to car shows, the caddy is the most fun. Frequently its the only cadillac at the show. And young kids today have never seen one like it lol. Once a teenager says to me, Wow, thats a cool IMPALA!! LOL. I looked at the front of the caddy, I swear she looked PISSED OFF! LOL! Be well.

    I don't know how expensive they are, but by the time someone does all the labor that reworking the frame will take; it might be money ahead to just buy an aftermarket frame and do a swap. Would be something you'd be able to do (especially with the lift). At least then any other part swaps you're doing could be done on the frame before lowering the body back on it. Would also make the floor replacement work easier.

I had a 67 Mustang back in the 80s, and I changed oil every 3 months like it was a religious ritual, and when I sold it, it had 270 some miles on it, and it was still running. Easy to work on, easy and comfortable to drive, plenty of pep and not bad milage. Thanks for the memories!

After owning it for a short time I realized it had a 289 Hi-Po engine with a factory 4 Barrel and factory 4 Speed transmission. It had duel exhaust and a column mounted tack as well as a clock. Kick myself for selling that one. But when I did I bought a 1968 mustang with a 289 and 3 speed manual. Drove that one threw my high school years. Man this video takes me back!

    Chris . . . that particular Mustang had an MSRP of around $2700, so you got a heck of a deal! Really enjoy your enthusiasm, skill, and clean language.

    I went to Trade school 1978 and my first engine rebuild in class was a 289 ford mustang. Memories for sure and thanks for not giving up on the car. Needs bit of love for sure and can't wait to see more great finds as usual on your channel .. MK

    The good thing about these older Mustangs is that sheet metal is easy to find and inexpensive. I get most of my parts from National Parts Depot. They usually have all the parts you need in stock, unlike some of the other parts places. Good luck, you'll have fun with it.

    I am constantly amazed at what you are able to do. So many of these cars seem far beyond savable and in an hour or so of video, you are ripping them down the road. Give Gus a pet, we have a dapple dachshund that look a lot like him!

    Great memories of working on my 1969 Mustang 302, 2V. I sold it in 1979 with over 100,000 miles on it and it still drove great with the ball joints (suspension arms) being replaced to firm-up the steering.

    Great video. My first car was a 65 Mustang coupe, 289, auto. Loved that car. Learned a lot and can still take a 289 apart blindfolded. Later on found a 66 rusted like yours, but parted it out. Get yours repaired/restored! They are such classic cars that deserve the best.

    That all can be fixed. For starters the gas tank and side supports (available) and new tank need to be replaced. Then a nearly complete torx box set and floor pans. Some serious work but can be done quite easily with the proper tools. I did a great deal of work on restoring a 66 mustang back in 1994 and a company named vintage mustang here in Houston Tx had all those torx boxes and floor pans and even rockers, and they had the lower door skins and complete quarter panels that I needed. It can be done and is actually worth it when you consider a similiar sized car today with all its BS electronic starts at 25K and more.

      And Chris is a fan of Pole Barn Garage so there’s the inspiration for redoing the floor pans.

    With all the stuff you do and your mechanical ability and obviously you like trains. If you get tired of it all you could always come to the railroad. I worked on cars for years full time and still do part time. Switched to the railroad in 2018 and was the best move I could have ever made. Great video. Keep up the good work !

    Great 'hacks' on fixing old, rusted, locked up parts.
    Suprised to see you put time/money into the brake system.
    I'd pull the engine and good parts, junk the rest. Love how you clean these old cars.

    I had that exact car back in high school ! Mine was in better shape. I paid $400 in 73 for it. 289 4 barrel. I put headers and duals on it . Ran great ! You can leave it in second gear to 100mph ! Used to surprise a lot of better cars with it. 👊😎👍

    Chris awesome find! What a great project. Put a tilt column in it with the seat extenders and your leg won't get in the way when shifting. I do miss my 66 rag. Best to the lovely Ms Jen and Sassy face Gus.
