- Hello, welcome back to another video. in this video I try to revive this abandoned 2004 mustang GT. this car was left on a property about 2 months ago. the owner of the property decided to sell the car after many attempts to get the car running himself. it's believed that there is a security problem keeping the car from starting. the car was left with receipts that say the car had cams, exhaust, and tune done. so let's see if I can get this one on the road. if you liked this video leave a like, Comment, and subscribe. Thank You.
Can’t beat the sound of a mustang
Definitely not, these 2V 4.6 sounds great.
@@AutoExec1I love the way the 2v's and 3v's mustangs sound👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah yeah
My concern would be the tan airbag on the black interior. That tells me it was in an accident which is why ur headlight may for be gapped properly and the source of your airbag light. These new edges are so easy to work om though and you can source a whole new interior from a junkyard for cheap.
Yes it was definitely wrecked. There is ALOT of stuff missing on the front end lol. But that is true, the parts are easily accessed and cheap. I love these cars.
I wanna say the steering column was replaced and the key sensor doesn't match the key. I had a 2000 f150 the shifter broke I replaced the entire column around the ignition is a ring that has a sensor that matches the chip inside the key it wouldn't start
literally found one the other day! trying to get in contact with the owners to see if i can save it, would be a sick project.
You should definitely film it if you end up getting it.
In an old car like this I would not even worry about an accident. If you we're buying a 40k plus CPO car then it is important. For an old car to play around with, it is almost expected
Just found your channel. It’s cool you’re finding these new edge cars and bringing them back to life!
Thank you, I enjoy fixing these cars.
Dude's got my heart the only car I ever owned was the mustang GT 88 notchback, speed and density, had the Motorsport headers on it, a b&m shifter the old flowmasters they stopped making it rained low 13s all day long with bologna skins on it it was a blue one and it was hard top too, 😔. Thank you for letting me share on your channel. Sweet ride buddy I hope to be out there one day again.. God bless you all and family 🙏
What happened to your ride brother is she still rolling ??
That sounds like a sweet mustang man. I appreciate you stopping by to check out my video. Do you still have yours?
Hey thanks I told the story a couple of times somebody drugged me took me for a ride and put me through the passenger side window, I'm telling you please you must really I read it the motor was never touched 🥲 it was a 88 GT blue notchback it was the speed and density that the throttle told the motor what to do it wasn't mass air I'm telling you turbo cars Grand Nationals LT1 Camaro, s. Firehawks, on the street nobody had anything for it there was a gentleman I'm not BS and you all you can research him real fast guy in Maryland, his name is Chris little, he did it 2,88 aod, GT, they put it in the 12, just messing with it tuning it up, but I'm telling you when I pulled fourth gear at 4800, my 85 mile an hour speedometer, was buried fellas, thank you all for letting me vent, God bless you
@@Akac3sh thank you. You really had me thinking about it bro
@@AutoExec1 thank you so much for letting me vent
Hard to find a stick these days!!! What a great find!!!
Yeah, and it's cammed! Thank you.
I had a ball joint break on a 71 ford LTD when I was younger and the wheel folded up under the fender. I was lucky I had just pulled out from a stop sign.
She sounds MEAN... hell yeah
Thank you, I plan on putting some flomaster 10s on it next.
i had a killswitch in mine too... found out i had one when one day it didn't start when i wanted to go to school... although mine did turn over... it just wouldn't start untill you flipped the switch.
That's wild. I've never even seen a kill switch on one of these.
i would definitely change those battery cable ends they look real rough.
It's weird to see this car abandoned and think of it all now cuz when I was a kid this car was just coming out but now the youngest version of this car is 21 years old
great video, I like how you show your thought process. and reasons
Thank you, many more videos on this car coming soon!
i like the tips its the reason i clicked on video
They are growing on me lol
They look like 5 inch tips I got 4 inch on my 2017 mustang tbh I wanna move up to 5 inch but black tips I got stainless double wall chrome tip for now
You just showed where your kill switch is. the kill switch is there for a reason its there to prevent it being stolen
I had no idea it was there or what it was 😂
You have to switch the kill switch move it to a place where no one sees it only u know where it is a kill switch u can get creative with it
Next time to show the kill switch cuz a thief might see the vid and try to find where u live
But keep up the good work man
@@AutoExec1make sure to change your kill switch spot its a reminder
You're in OKC, I thought that 7-11 looked familiar, I grew up down in that area.
You can abandon an sn95 for years and it's almost always a guaranteed start up
That's true, this is my 10th GT. They are amazing cars.
Never heard the magnet thing before. I do know on reprogramming the keys though, 8x between accessory and off within ~15 seconds will program the key in this generation. Have done so on my 04 GT to get another key added before (Spent $1 to get another key for mine 10 years ago). Likely guessing probable kill switch that you found but you should know the ease of reprogramming these keys.
New Edge's will always look good in any generation.
Agreed!
Love thise tips honestly, looks really aggressive!
Thank you, I think I'll keep them.
Wish I could find an abandoned GT Mustang in the S197 body style myself, that'd be dope lol.
That would be awesome. They are there but probably completely totaled.
That’s nice brother I liked that and it’s a stick oh yeah I loved that style
Thank you, yes sir I definitely like the manual transmissions more on these.
Nice looking engine for it being abandoned good find 👌
we doing revivals of these cars now i remeber when this car was regular
I hope you have a lot of money to fix it up. Just a supercharger (new) goes for a little over $4000. New seats will be pricey also. New injectors, fuel pump, and so on.
I’m in awe of this video.
Good or bad?
We had the same problem with our '91 Camaro after we had someone mess around with it for a reason I can't exactly remember. The problem was the Anti theft computer was messed up, thinking our key wasn't the right one. But hey, everyone gets different situations, lol
We need to keep the SN95's alive! Hope it goes well on this one. Subscribed
Yes we do, I think it will. This seems to be a good car. Thank you very much.
I had a 96’ Taurus that had the theft issue on it too. It wasn’t reading the key well in the column. I kept trying multiple things and one of the things that I would have to do is just tilt the steering wheel down then turn the key
did you try moving the trans from the back seat to where its supposed to be?
Fords must have clean and tight battery terminals,that mess ...I'm surprised lights come on...new terminals maybe new cables,clean up ..
the gas station starting you were definitely not letting it crank enough. 2v's have a pretty extended crank.
Yeah and it's cammed. It's starting fine now with a proper crank.
That sounded amazing ....when you got it to start!
Thank you, I have big plans for this car.
Thought it was a joke the whole time lol. Cheers to you my friend.
Lol thank you!
Sounds good great buy
Of course it's going to start those are the best ones ever made even better than the new ones today.. keep it stock just upgrade the exhaust and air filter
Yes sir, these are amazing cars.
Hey auto exec those wheels on your gt are from a 2004 mercury marauder I had a friend who had one of those, those wheels look good though👍🏻
Sounds awesome man I gotta cam my car someday
Thank you, and yes it adds alot of power on these small fords.
I love them 4.6 two valves they were reliable engines as long as you don't put too much boost on them they are reliable the 4.8 four valve was even better
That's true, about 400hp is it.
@@AutoExec1 i agreed anything beyond that especially with a supercharger on top it will throw a rod
Get some clean battery terminals. And clean the ground points on the engine wiring harness connecting to the battery terminals and you will be all set to go you won't have that problem no more. I had the same issue. And a bad corroded ground wire can stop the current from the battery to give enough power to start the car. That's why when you turn the key on everything goes blank. It's grounding out it's a easy fix. Get you some battery terminals tho. And clean the battery wire cables and grounds of the wiring harness. It will run like new. It's not the anti theft system if the key turns off the light that means the computer responded to the programmed key
I got one currently with a similar issue, theft like flashes but it turns over but won't idle. She wants to start but wont
Just found this video. What year is the car? Cus you never say in the video. Good video. I am Looking forward to you giving this older mustang some love.
It's a 2004 anniversary. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoExec1
Very Nice. Yeah love that she manual too. So many new cars/trucks and even Semis trucks are all auto now. There also too much tech in them It’s horrible. Imo older Vehicles are better imo. Prob run circles around any new shit as long they properly maintained.
I leaned how drive on my dads old Red and White 1986 F-150 4x4 that has 302 v8, 5 speed farm truck. I she had bo low 1st gear. So you started off in 2nd gear unless your hauling or was stuck, so then you 1st gear. She had heavy duty springs and locking hubs. My dad even shows me how float gear in her. Miss those days hah. Looking forward to see what you do with that old Mustang, best of luck:)
@@AutoExec1how many miles does she?
ngl from someone who works on cars, watching you diagnose cars is hard to watch, you did so many steps backwards.
Womp womp 😢
Lol then you'll be really tore up to hear that I'm a professional mechanic 😂 shit aside, I did it in such order cause I already knew what was wrong. So I skipped the other 9 thousand steps.
Professional that doesn't know what a hose clamp is😂😂😂 wonder if he tried to turn the motor by hand before he bought it .. Doubt it 😂
OMG 😂😂😂 those battery cables😂😂😂
Find a new occupation😂
My 01 Grand Marquis had a similar issue to where the factory key was malfunctioning in the ignition switch, causing the security light to flash and not start the car. I ended up replacing the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors and it fired right up. Security light never came back on after that. (They have the same 2V 4.6 engine as the Mustang does, with the intake being on the opposite side, and the lower power tune from the factory).
The gap in headlight is the weather stripping fell apart and gone usually there’s a piece of rubber there. Happens on I feel like every new edge
I was thinking that panel wasn't straight, but after looking at it it looks like you are right. Should be as simple as a new headlight. Thanks for pointing that.
Just from the outside view and having multiple of these sn95 based cars. It’s been wrecked. I also can see that it’s possible that at bare minimum the control arm on that passenger side is bent or the whole kmember is tweaked, had that happen before too.
How can you tell the control arm may be bent?
That switch next to the hood release, moving your foot around with the clutch to get it started, that could be a kill switch. The switch down would make the car not want to turn on.
That actually ended up being exactly what it was lol thank you.
@@AutoExec1 :)
Abandoned? So who was the owner? Isn’t that considered property theft if the property owner tried to take it for himself and then after failing deciding to sell it?
That thing sounds so good
Thank you, it's a good car.
Tan airbag on black interior and misgapped headlight,
Tells me it was wrecked along the way.
Yes it definitely was. It seems to drive straight though thankfully.
Love your new find always fun to have something fun to do.
Thank you, and yes I enjoy fixing these mustangs.
anybody think homeboy bought a hot car
😂😂
according to what I read in my owners manual for my 02, a rapidly flashing theft means the theft system is not working as it should. The theft light should flash once every couple of seconds if its working as intended. Could be the reason its not starting?
Old Mustangs sound good
At 24:00 you let off the key quick both times. All you had to do was hold it longer lol. This guy.
Yeah lol not use to the long crank.
That was originally a v6, and someone swapped a v8. Nice find regardless, and nice job on finding it.👍
Damn, how can you tell? And thank you it runs good.
@@AutoExec1 because is doesnt have any gt badges and the pony emblems on the side are a dead giveaway and the bumper covers on the gt are different than the v6. Also the gt mustangs sit lower because they have different suspension. There are other ways to tell that it was originally a v6, those are just off the top of my head.
@@SicilianSVT All 04 Mustang V6’s, GT’s and Mach 1’s had the 40th anniversary badges on the fenders, which is what this car has. Also that is a factory GT bumper. Speedo goes to 150, has leather seats with the stitched running horse and the GT hood. Headlights are not correct for 01-04 but were probably swapped out. Imo everything looks right for it to be a factory GT
@@Everarmed89 no GT badge on back bumper, and no residue or holes for it either
@@Cameron78998rear bumper has cut outs for exhaust, v6 didn’t come with those
You have to hold the key longer for it to start not just flick it on
Yeah I keep forgetting it's cammed lol
man she's hacked hacked and hacked. but it does sound amazing. it's crazy how much better it sounds than it looks lol
Yeah it's in baaad shape.
Those appear to be Mercury Marauder wheels with black center caps. worth some money and i want them lol
I want some original 04 GT rims for it.
Those wheels are worth some money, nothing crazy. Those are Mercury marauder wheels
I just posted them on marketplace. I didn't know they were marauder wheels or that they were worth anything. Thanks for the info.
@@AutoExec1yep they are just missing the Mercury center caps
Just advice Never run below a Quarter of a tank on fuel it Will smoke the fuel pump and there Not cheap or fun to do On the startin there know to go bad on the ignition switch on the column And I Do like the Grill insert
I definitely won't, amd yes that grill is horrible.
Yes David the startin issue keeps up with the problem Replace the ignition switch on the colum as my 94 GT Mustang did the same thing As I'm old school and if I knew it would fit my 94 I'd Gladly buy the Grill from you
Sounds insane ❤
Even with a manual car do u not have to have your foot on clutch and brake?
Why did you not see if that switch under the dash was a kill switch? I was very curious about it.
Those are 2005+ pony package mustang v6 wheels aka Mercury Marauder wheels they are identical in style just one is polished and one is chrome and forged and cast...they go for good money so you'll be able to make good money on them
I did not know that, thanks for that information. I was going to sell them for around $300.
Id try to get a lil more usually $500 or so if not get what you can get...I'd post them as mercury marauder wheels to get more interest 👌
@junkyardjimusa1195 I definitely will man thanks.
that thing sounds like a fun dough nut ripper
I want to see more. Very nice and entertaining. You got a new sub
You definitely will. And thank you very much.
Seat belt warning kept going off cause of the transmission sitting in the back. The weight makes the sensor think someone's sitting there
Amazing work 🫡
Thank you sir!
You would have been fine getting on it since no crowds were around 😂
🤣😂
How much you want for it? I see that your in okc on meridian
you are allowed to work on car in parking lot?
Nothing screams I live in the hood like fake metal floor mats and a kill switch
😂 MAAAN
my theft light flashes and use to not start from it but i got a new key made and the new key made it start right up
How much will you sell that spare transmission?
I already sold it unfortunately.
@@AutoExec1 dang, alright thank you
What state only has 91 octane?
Any updates ??
Is this okc?
the ignition might be because of the battery i would boost it with another car
Order a new key and key switch and get right size battery had same issue in my 2002 Ford mustang
Looks just like tropical manor in Merritt island fl
That intermittent chiming sound isn’t the seat belt reminder…
I got the same problem on my 2003 mustang how do I stop it
Is it a 2v or 3v?
2V
Last cool design for the mustang in my opinion!👍❤
I definitely agree. Aside from the 1st Gen, these are my favorite.
Have you heard of the s197?
YOU PEOPLE ARE NUTS
GOOD LUCK RICKY! I’m posting a video shortly on this video! 2 Weeks for my subscribers
Thanks Ave!
Fairly noticible theft switch, sounds dirty. Probobly a dealers car
Id be fixing clear coat front seats few other things and leve it at that
The previous owner: 👁️ 👄 👁️
😂😂😂😂
tbh someone probably stole that shit and said alr ima come back to use you as a getaway
I’m always afraid of taking my 92 foxbody out and not starting. 😰
not me yelling at you that the kill switch is right there and that the battery is fine 😂😂😭
Lol maaan I'm glad I hit that. Otherwise I may have bought a battery and all kinds of stuff.
Please fix this one up and don’t sale it, would love to see it being supercharged in future
It has Marauder wheels on it😎
Yes sir. I initially hated them lol
you just gotta hold the starter a wee longer
Mine didn't have a kill switch in it none but still had same issue lmao
A built mustang but the intake filter is filty??
I know right 😂 who ever "built" this aughta be ashamed of themselves.
@@AutoExec1 fr !
not trying to sound like kid genius mechanic i know alot of different things about vehicles
"Wheels gotta go"
"Car barely runs"
Average inbred breakdown of a restoration
😂 tell me how you really feel. Car runs great BTW.
U selling the wheels ?
I want too. I want to get $400
Put a correct battery terminal connector on, the terminal being loose as hell like that will cause it to not turn over. And battery looks like dogshit to. Either way the wiring the previous person has on there isn’t safe at all.
More videos, please
