  • 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!

I did a full resto on the 3 boys cars, working with them to teach them auto repair. Great fun. Kids are grown now and the boys all still have those cars.

    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! 👍

    LOL!! She took it for a test drive and drove it home. I remember being at her house, her calling the dealership and saying "I'll come back tomorrow morning and sign the paperwork!". Never left her possession.
    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.

      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.

  • @EarlGuyton425

    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.

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!

    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.

      @@bryanphillips1432I go to 2 shops in town that work on cars and know there way around classics , it gets pricey and there’s times where nappa, autozone , orielys, advanced and dealerships can’t get the part and I have to go to eBay or a classic collector on parts,

    My uncle bought a blue 1967 Mustang coupe new while he was in the military. My grandparents kept that car until he retired drove it a lot and took excellent care of it. When he retired from the Army, he took his Mustang back and drove it the rest of his life. The car was over 30 years old when he died, he loved his Mustang. Took excellent care of it also. He left it to his daughter and I don’t know what happened to it after she took it. She claimed she wanted to restore it and keep it. It was never wrecked and in good shape. He claimed he was offered thousands more than he paid for it, but would never sell it. He rebuilt the engine in it and trans kept driving it his whole life. He owned a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 for a few years, he bought new also. He was a Veteran fought in the Vietnam War the whole time it was going on, he joined to go to war. Only thing he ever done was the military. He died at less than 60 years old. He was wounded during the war, and got a Purple Heart for his service.

    Great video Chris. I had a '67 copper brown coupe, black vinyl top, auto trans. Slightly hot rodded. Your stang has definitely seen better days. She's with the right guy tho. With some more tlc she'll be road worthy once again. Some friendly advice: don't torque the body too much until you get it repaired. If the body twists it will cause irreversible damage. Unibody cars can be delicate, especially in that rust bucket shape. Can't wait to see next update. Gus stole the show as usual. Peace!

    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.

    Looking forward to part 2

    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.

    Great vid! I've spent the last couple week cleaning out my F-I-L's car, which had only sat for nine months or so, still had six nests in it, reeked, had to pull everthing not metal out, cleaned every surface I could get to, and finally ran an ozone generator for a few hours. Hopefully the smell is gone for good, now have to put it all back together again.

    New subscriber from London. I have owned a 67 coupe 390GTA FOR 15 years, still finding things to do. I guess yours is probably worth more in parts especially in the UK, it’s such a strong car , I agree with the others in the channel she’s begging to be saved.

    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.

    What a rad video. Finished it this morning after I passed out early last night. Love that car. I'm clear out in Washington state-and hell-I'd want it too! Honestly though-you should probably keep that one. It's rad just the way it is. Keep the patina,I would probably get some new whitewalls and stock hubcaps from eBay to keep the OG vibe. Duel exhaust,fix up the interior and take it on a road trip with Jen and Gus. They make everything for that car-getting parts is a breeze.

    Hey Chris...I love it, smoking a cigarette and driving a classic. Don't junk it save and fix it. In my younger days I owned a new 67 Chevelle 396 SS, wish I would have kept it. It amuses me how if you need a part you go to your stash and there it is.

    Some cool tips and tricks here. First time I have seen the impact vibrator method used to unstick a clutch. That a cool old mustang. Too bad the monocoque core is a rusty pile. The good news is now you can buy every pice of the body you need to repair the rot. A lot of this body is still pretty good.
