- What resembles a large office building in Columbus, Ohio hides more than 50 vintage Mustang, Ford, and Shelby muscle cars (plus a Ford Pinto for contrast) inside 27,000 square feet. Most are either retrieved barn finds and parked as found, or barn finds that Signature Auto has restored in their shop inside.

I still have my dad's 1969shelbygt500, the difference is I drive and enjoy mine. It's been fully restored, it's sat untouched in my mom's garage from 1972-1981 I did a full restoration drove it in high school and college still driving it to this day
An absolutely EXCEPTIONAL collection of "Blue Ovals." This place is literally a GOLD MINE $$$.
I am in Ford heaven! I have studied Mustang's my whole Adult life. I am 59 years old. Never had the money or the time to buy a Muscle car. I rented a 2007 Shelby Hertz Gold and Black convertible. From the Airport in Indianapolis. It was the high light of my driving life! I wanted to experience the rental muscle car era myself. Like in the 60's. When I got there to the airport rental office there where 7 Hertz Gold and Black convertibles sitting in a row. I was blown away! I stood there as they drove my Hertz Mustang rental to the office I video taped it. The whole process. It was a amazing weekend and exspensive too. Well over a $ 1000.00. But it was worth all the money and waiting months to go to live out my dream! The motor had the wire on it so they could check to see if the motor was taken out. I even dragged a Colbalt SS on that Saturday afternoon. From stoplight to stoplight with the top down and wife in the car. He got spanked and did a U turn at the next light. Never to be seen again.

You can pick up a 99/01 Mustang Cobra and experience it fairly inexpensive
I would be honored just to sweep the floors in that place 😍
Still have my 73 Mach 1 I bought when I was 18. 351 CJ 4V c6 medium yellow gold....88k miles.
Still love mustang's.
Old cars make me miss that period of time when life seemed more enjoyable.
Wow can you imagine the money not just the cars the building and the parts unbelievable thank God there are people like him that keep these cars around
What a mind blowing collection and parts dept!!
He seems like a nice guy has a beautiful shop! God bless him
Keep the Shelbys, it's the Boss 429s that got my blood pumping. Something about the look, the lines...simple perfection. 😍😍😍
100% ford , good man.
Very very good man...😉👍
Wow what a professional operation he has !! He is saving a piece of American history one car at a time !
Yea as long as you’re cam phasers don’t fly apart lol
I remember seeing the Blue Boss 429 with flames in numerous car magazines in the late '70's. Good to see it's still around.
I've been friends with Rick for many years, built some engines for him back when he first got started, still talk to him and locate some parts for him when I can find them. He's always fair when purchasing used or NOS parts that are needed for the cars. A real stand up guy, and a pleasure to know and deal with. Everyone could use a guy like Rick on there side when it comes to knowledge of Fords and restorations.
I like how he keeps his shop so neat and orderly. This would be a dream gig for a restorer.
Matt Kustom Kostumes um, I think he is a restorer.
Thank you for sharing. He seems like a class act. Happy for him. 👍
Thanks for making that comment.
This guy needs to have a reality TV show to compete with Graveyard Carz. I love fords and I'd love to know this guy
Excellent idea ! We need a Ford show !
Rick and his crew restored my 1969 Super Cobra Jet Mach 1 15 years ago and it is now back in his shop for a freshening up. I am the original owner of the car. Rick did a spectacular job on my car bringing it back to original condition after many years on the dragstrip and then collecting dust in my garage. Rick lives and breaths these cars. All you need to do do is talk to him to realize the passion he has for them. Additionally he, his wife Jacquie, Larry and the crew are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you're ever in Columbus and drop into their shop they will welcome you like you are old friends.
Very cool, Jerry!! Not a Ford guy but I appreciate the rarity of these cars. Especially the unusual colors of paint and interior designs. The stories behind these cars are what draws me to videos like these. Have enjoyed your work since my teen years!!
Fantastic showing of people dedicated to preserving & restoring our historic & vintage high performance fords. Thank you gentlemen. Keep it up! How I loved watching this video!
While an amazing collection, the owner Rick Parker is equally amazing. His love and knowledge of Mustangs and efforts to preserve and restore so many cars will be appreciated by future enthusiasts. Cars are a perishable commodity, requiring constant care.
I'm a Chevy Chevy guy but I can appreciate anybody who saves old cars
I’m a Chevy guy but damn, thats quite an impressive collection of Mustangs. The guy really seems to have passion for these cars & an encyclopedia of knowledge on them too!
I feel sick. This is too much for a Ford Man to take in. Incredible!
As a diehard Ford fanatic, I am blown away by all of these incredible cars under one roof. Amazing!!!
No wonder there hard to find, they have them all.
Haha you gotta hate guys that just buy to buy.
This is a well-run operation top to bottom. Love the Boss cars!
Jackie’s smile is definitely a treasured barn find! 😁
My thoughts too! There is another video from 2020 when they are looking at a 66 Shelby field find. Jaquie's smile is gorgeous! Smokin!
Great video! Loved when he said no camaros or vettes! Blue oval!
God bless you. Fords only. We dont do Chevrolet Camaros or Corvettes.
That was a great story. I loved his passion, enthusiasm and knowledge.
Guys like this make me so proud to be an American.
Love the work your doing to keep these cars around for guys like me.
Absolutely
What an egg
Wow, what a place. As an owner of a 1967 Mercury Cougar I can really admire the work that goes into running that business and the love of Mustangs they have. Now if I could only have that many Cougars. And I'm not picky, I would only need about half of them as big block cars.
I have the utmost RESPECT for this man. He has been able to have the means, knowledge, and experience to save these Fords. Yes they are high end, but I think he is humble enough to not focus on the $ value it seems. I guess you could say he is a caretaker of these great cars. Good job and keep up the great work.
This man knows his cars , explains every cars detail with memory 👍👍👍
What a great guy, love the passion he has for the history of these special mussel cars! I had two Mustangs, my first two cars, as a teenager. The first was a 70 Mach 1, 428SCJ Drag Pack car that was in pieces when I bought it. A a kid I would walk by it everyday on my way to school and thought I’ll have one someday and in 1982 I fulfilled my dream! While I worked to restore this car over the winter my dad and I picked up a 69 coupe with a 351W factory 4 barrel as my daily driver. On a side note I noticed 2 Honda 70’s in the shop which I also had, fond memories there as well! Kid’s today don’t have the same passion for hands on work the just have someone else do the work and drive them around as if they put their own blood sweat and tears into building the car what a shame!
I need to be there and check out EVERYTHING.....
I'm just in awe of all the beautiful Mustangs there.
How lucky would it be to work in that place just doing up old mustangs
My dream job 😍😍😍👍👍
Absolute Stang Heaven here... I miss having a mustang...
Next to Alaska, this facility has got to be heaven on earth! I have been a FoMoCo fanatic for well over 56 years!
What this gentleman doesn't know about Mustang's would fit on a pin head! If ever l have enough funds l will fly over and let him give me a guided tour of his amazing shop. Passion!
Can't resist sharing my Mustang story. In 1978, as I was finishing my junior year in high school in Ventura County, California, I bought a '69 Mustang coupe from an ad in the Recycler newspaper, pretty sure I paid $600 for it, cash I saved from my job bagging groceries. My brother and I did some engine work on it in our garage, then we took it on a road trip to New York and back to California. It had a '70 front end on it, guess it had been in a bad collision and they couldn't locate a '69 front end. I was hit on the driver's side door by a van in Hollywood, had it repaired and repainted. Then sold it and treated myself to a '72 Mustang convertible, fire engine red with a black top and red and black interior. Sold the '72 when I was a poor college student in San Francisco. I still have dreams about that '72 convertible, miss it terribly.😍🤔😪😭
i miss my 73 coupe :(
Wow!!
You guys rock!
Now I know where to go when I get the cash
to buy my dream car.
God bless you for keeping these classics muscle cars on the road-
You can’t beat a mustang or Shelby GT
Just wow!
Dam, that’s awesome ! Now I know why I can’t find a fastback mustang .... he has them all !! Lol
This guy is Super Organized ... Those young guys are lucky to be working for a great Professional .... We are lucky that a few young guys are still working on these great machines !! Kudos to these amazing shop !!🥊👍
Love those original barn finds,but all those classics are gorgeous.
Did you look at ALL of them?
@@thewriter2549 yes even the ones that need to be rebuilt are nice.
i loved the video, it was great to see all these ponies rescued. we need more of these shops : they recreate the
motoring soul of the u.s.a. and it means a lot of jobs to competent people. in those people i trust.
thanks for sharing.
Not only am I impressed with this collection of Really Rare Bad ass Fords. Ricks Knowledge and memory of Each and Every car and the Current status they are in, Blows me away!! I Think My Personal favorite here would be the Early Burgundy Boss 9...Thanks great Video...
Simply AWESOME. I've been to the Ford factory in Detroit and met Mrs Ford but I'd rather have visited this place instead.
My God, Heaven is on earth in Ohio! Every Ford I dreamed of as child is there. What a wonderful life he has.
Love Mustangs and Fairlanes your restored Mustangs look Great.
Myself a Long Time 65 to 73 Mustang Fan and Past multiple owner of many . It's Absolutely HeartWarming to See and Know That there is still so many Beautiful Old Mustangs out there !!!! " I Love Seeing the 68 to 70 Cougars Also "
I HOPE this guy and his wife = owners of the business . Live to be 100 becuz they've got so much to Do yet , and Live for !!
An incredible collection and shop. Happy for him, and the Mustangs. Very cool 😎!
Amazing collection 😍
Never saw anything like this in my life, and I'm 80!! Went to the drags in 60s & 70s, Atco, Cecil County,etc. Always loved the muscle cars!!
This has to be the coolest Ford car garage on the planet, how could you possibly choose a favorite? Not to mention all those parts, mmm
Makes my mouth water , cylipso coral boss , a dream come true !
So just in this building there is a higher value than all of the GMs found combined . Clearly this is a wise use of storage space... :) Ive seen alot over my years and just about every flavor of mustang and torino etc etc but this place blows my mind.....
So many good looking survivor cars in one place.
Wow what a great place to see. These cars are restored and kept for future generations. Nice job you guys.
How does this guy earn money? It doesn't sound like he sells anything.
That is an awesome shop and collection. More power to you
I wood like to Work there ,Love Mustangs and all fords
My god you are a true car guy!! My wife and I are looking for a Mustang (wife’s car) it will have to live w a 1966 Coronet W27, factory 4 spd, 383-440; 1964 Pontiac GP survivor family owned since 1964 w 34,000 original miles. I truly enjoy your videos.

Love all those mustangs. I hope to have one when I grow up but too late for that so maybe when I retire.
Lol
Wow! He has some severe Ford Mustang fever. I love it. Hard to pick a favorite from all those choices but I go with that 429 with flames! Its gotta be a full time job just keeping all of those restored ones running. Pretty amazing collection of special cars, memorabilia and parts. Thanks for the tour Jerry.
This is my idea of heaven! Awesome
OMG Heaven on Earth! I want a 69-70 Mach 1 since I wasn’t old enough to drive Such beautiful cats !! Love them !!
Wow what a collection of rare Mustangs and parts!
Awesome video, from an English man who dreams of just simply owning a Mustang. Absolute Mustang Heaven. Keep up the good work.
Props to you for doing such a great job in preserving our blue oval cars. My dad was a Ford racer from the late fifties to mid 70's. He passed away about 10 years ago. I myself am a blue oval guy. I have a very good knowledge of the performance Ford motors. I acquired a huge amount of that from reading his 100's of factory dealer brouchers that were every where I'm the house. At 1 time I could tell you if you had a open carrier 9 or 8 inch rear end and what gear it was just from the door tag..I still retain a good bit of the engine info. It can be a curse at time when you hear or see someone who is claiming they have this or that when you know they don't. Which brings up a question. ? You said that 64.5 k code was a 289 Hipo car. My 64 Sprint was a 260hipo car. And I was under the impression the 64 cars were all 260's ? Is it because the Mustangs we're a half rather than just a 64? I know of a Griffin that is also a 64 260 Hipo car. Anyway I want to say if you still reading I eventually will get back to my sister's place who still lives int parents house. Those dealer brouchers are still there. They featured things like dealer installed cross boss 1400 cfm carb for the Boss 302 etc. There is probably 100 of them. I'll find them and send them to you. You are the person that will keep and make use of them. Tons of details that are the bible of Ford knowledge
WOW! I've never heard of this place, and it's only an hour from my home! What a great collection, and the owner sure sounds like a pleasant man to work for.
Frigging amazing
Un-freaking-believable!!! Jerry, thank you for this vid!! Amazing cars, all things Ford! It's wonderful that these cars are being saved. There seems to be nothing beyond these people's capability to bring back & restore to factory original as possible. I marveled at all those beautiful, rare mustangs he has in there. Thanks for the look inside!!
If you’re cursed with being a hoarder, this is the best way to go!
This is not the million dollar man, he is the BILLION dollar man
Beautiful mustangs beautiful collection just gorgeous
The energy this collector must have is amazing....
Sure I am only a few decades old... But my dream cars were new in the 30's through 70's. Guess that makes me old school! I have been a car guy all my life. One of the rare few that never truly picked a side. Lots of things get my heart pumping! But tops has to be gorgeous cars and beautiful intelligent women! What a radical collection of awesomeness! Those 429's wow! The drag cars wow! The interesting color combos! Speechless at how awesome this video is.
My name is Ewerton Saavedra. I have a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 original 429 SCJ in Brazil. My car is the one of one Mustang 429 SCJ in my country, Brazil. My car was bought and imported to Brazil in 1971 and was on the cover of the most popular automotive magazine here, called 4 weels (4 Rodas), in the May 1971 issue. I bought the car after finding it abandoned in the back of a workshop in year 2001 for R$1,500.00. That's the current equivalent of only about $350.00. At the time, here in Brazil, nobody wanted these types of cars. I got lucky.
Only one word I can think of to use, WOW!!!
The only thing that bothers me about collections like this is that the cars are not being enjoyed. I would love to own a classic muscle car but I would drive it.
Until someone gets close to hitting it! Someone almost hit my 73 Mach 1 and I lost my 💩
Light Blue '70 Boss with trim rings and caps...I think I'm in love!
WOW! Fantastic collection 😍👍👍
Amazing collection.
Incredible collection and very cool you had written articles about several cars built there. He sure knows his cars and what is valuable and worth restoring. Very intelligent with the Ford engines and the restorations looks outstanding. Good video! It would be great to see another one focusing in closer on the details of several of these, even some of the originals parked out back.
Just a few miles east of Columbus, huh? Geez, I could drive up there in less than two hours. Had no idea this place existed until viewing this youtube spot.
Some of those cars are a bit close for my comfort, hopefully they rolled them into place with a floor jack or something. Anyhow, awesome collection!
Did anyone hear that noise? It was my jaw hitting the ground…… 😳😲🥳👍
Has all that AND Rick might be one of the nicest guys in the industry.
Yes - thanks for adding that.
Awesome Awesome Awesome. . . I would accept any of those beautiful cars. Just awesome.
Wow. Mustang heaven
I don't even know what to say. Good gravy, that was just a simply awesome collection and tour. Thank You so much for sharing that with us. I had to watch it 4 times to catch everything. Amazing. I love Mustangs, especially muscle mustangs and especially Shelby's.
