    Great video on my car. Thanks Matt! Also the bloopers are hilarious but it’s ON now. See you at chocolate fox for some fun. 😀

    I'm one of the guys that tried to buy that car over the years, Harry the original owner was a super nice guy, he told me I could stop in for a glass of tea anytime, but anytime I mentioned about buying the car he would say no that he was leaving it to his grandson, and the way that car set neglected with so much dirt and dust on that car you couldn't even see in the windows the stuff was so thick, I told my wife whenever Harry passes his grandson will sell it and probably give it away, and I was right. But I'm glad it went to a good home but unfortunately it wasn't mine.

      Thanks for sharing that. It's nice to hear he was such a nice guy. I definitely think Lance is giving it a good home.

    Cool story. I’m 33 and just bought my first mustang a 92 GT 5 speed. I’ve never own any mustangs and the fox body community is crazy awesome. Can’t wait to take it to car shows. Keep them good videos coming.

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      Welcome to the club and definitely enjoy that 92!

    There's a yellow one down the street from where I live, the last people who stayed there was evicted years ago and left a Mustang that looks exactly like that to that white one, but it's yellow/ black and white with broken and chipped front bumper with yellow wheels not sure if they were painted or it came that way, but It's just sitting in that garage for the past 4yrs now.

      Could be a great find!

      Might be worth seeing what the deal is there. Maybe they don't know what they have.

    I hope he doesn't go out at night. Those headlights have to be down to one candle power! Great story about the car!

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      I don't believe he has driven it much so far and probably not at night. I"m glad you enjoyed the story.

    • @garymills5987

      I'm a Carolina fan so it jus speaks to me. I have a Teal Cobra and always wondered why they never built a vert version

    Great video! Another Saleen with a great story. I would not restore it! Those people cutting through, 💯rude! Thanks Matt! 👊

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      Thanks, I hope he also keeps it how it is. No worries on the cutters, I just thought it was funny.

  • @garymills5987
    @garymills5987 2 года назад +4

    Take lots of pics of the SSC but restore that beauty. It deserves it being so few made. Do it justice

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад +1

      It's certainly a way to go. Thanks for the input Gary.

  • @jesseaviman
    @jesseaviman 2 года назад +3

    Awesome video. I love this car. I see a black one sitting outside a gas station not far from me here in NJ! Thinking of asking about it. As for this car, keep it all original BUT i would have it professionally detailed. A nice buff and wax on the car along would be huge.

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      Thanks, that'd be cool if you are able to pickup that black one you spotted.

  • @gdb5448
    @gdb5448 2 года назад +1

    Keep as is, although you really need to restore the original headlights...they'll probably buff out pretty decent with some Meguiar's cleaner wax or something similar...try 3m Machine Polish if that doesn't do it.

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      Yeah I"m guessing he'll do something with the headlights. We'll see.

    @sHiFtY-5-oh 2 года назад +1

    Man what a great story behind this car I would have been scared of getting stolen being out on the front of the guy's property like it was... I love these cars I want one so bad I really like the black one too that you did a video on and I would definitely keep it the way it is maybe do some new headlights and switch the wheels up so they don't get ruined or crack and then put those white ones back on for shows other than that perfect the way it is another great one Matt thanks a bunch for the content!!!

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      Hey Shifty, I was thinking the same thing about the wheels, best way to preserve them. I'm definitely glad it wasn't stolen. Thanks for watching all these videos.

    Hey Matt, what's up with the people passing behind the guy ? Man that got into my nerves, they couldn't find a narrower place to walk by.😄
    It's always fun to watch your videos but I didn't know you drag race your car, I need to watch that one.😃👍

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад +1

      LOL, I was surprised by that too. Yeah man, I did used to drag race it a little bit (maybe 3 times). I have those videos on a playlist I think.

    I have a dream that one day ill be in the back roads of rural NC enjoying a cruise in my Boss 302 or Fox. My son Maddox will yell Daddy there's a mustang and I'll look seeing a shelby or cobra Fox poking out from under a tarp under a carport. One day....

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад +1

      LOL, hope you find that one day buddy!

  • @chriswhitehouse9764

    I say run it thru Purist Motorsports for restoration. All Saleens deserve it. Just my opinion.

    • @GearHead704

    @chuckp7970 2 года назад +1

    Every part of my being wants this car to be restored. However given the story, maybe it is best to leave it as-is and preserve the history/story. At least clean it up and maybe do some minor restoration touches.

    • @GearHead704
      @GearHead704  2 года назад

      I'm pretty sure that's the way Lance is going to go.
