Barn Find Fox Body Mustang Gets It's First Wash In A Decade

We purchase a low milage, Two owner Fox Body Mustang GT. It was stored in a chicken barn. We give it it's first wash in a decade to see what it will look like clean. Can we get it ready in time to bring to our local cars and coffee?

I like how the 50's Porsche cut off the 4 eye Mustang in the Top Gun clip.... 😁
Love the survivor. I saw the smile your son had when driving to the show....he's hooked.
Smiles for Miles!

I had a '91 GT that I bought new. I eventually sold it for a larger family car, but it was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned and was really fun to drive.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Those are really nice cars. Thanks for watching

[@danfriesen4417]

Very reliable, even when abused by young gearheads. Ford broke the mold with these cars

[@lumberjackgarage193]

@@danfriesen4417 I agree

[@khamp96]

I remember I would skip school to test drive these cars. Looking at it brings back memories. Beautiful car 👍

I bought my 87 notch new, stored it during winter, and I still had the flaking paint like yourself. I had it painted in 97 and still drive it in the summer. 350,000 km and going strong. Most reliable car ever.😊

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Ooh the notch.. those are the most desirable body style..

[@markallen4397]

I am an original owner of a 90 GT same color (Ultra Blue) and trim, not a base model though, 49K miles, mostly OEM, turbine wheels, etc. Still runs okay, needs some suspension work. Fun to drive😊

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Wow that’s so cool. Glad you still have it.

[@rjsanders1981]

Great find! Just picked up a 92 gt myself that's been sitting in storage for 4 years. Looking forward to more videos. 😁👍

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Got more coming thanks.. enjoy your new one as well

[@drewt1081]

My '86 looked just like that. Exact same car. Bought it in Dearborn off the showroom floor.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

I want another one like that again.. so cool to buy it new.. I bet that felt amazing

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Cool video, new to the channel. Tuning in now brotha

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Thank you hope you enjoy it

[@vanlifecarjunkies858]

That is my dream Mustang to a T the color the year everything about it is perfect

[@vanlifecarjunkies858]

Even the stirring wheel because in 1990 the put airbags in the wheel I think it look much better without the blue two tone with the light blue pin stripe that is perfect

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Good idea.. I was going to have the silver freshened but I may just paint it blue.

[@WillM1776]

Very cool car! Im glad the paint came back!

[@lftdblazer]

Awesome pick up. Definitely a survivor. My brother has an 87 GT the same color.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

I have a real appreciation for this color it’s nice

[@user-sr5tu8oh7v]

Very nice find. I always liked the blue and silver cars. I have an 88 LX that is far from stock. Manual windows are the way to go. Congratulations

[@lumberjackgarage193]

It’s difficult to keep it stock 😆

[@danfriesen4417]

Nice find... sure brings back some good memories from by brothers 2 tone white 88 GT.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

those are cool

[@proto1132]

I had that same car, same color and everything, damn do I miss it

[@Shakerhood69]

Nice car

[@lumberjackgarage193]

thanks

[@kevinakers5219]

Manual mirrors are fairly rare

[@lumberjackgarage193]

I didn’t realize that.. the less power the better in my opinion.. less things to fix

[@JRC99]

I haven't watched yet, but before I do: PLEASE leave the Turbines and Cheesegraters on it!

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Absolutely will do.. thanks

[@JRC99]

Ford always has paint issue up until today. Ask how I know?

[@lumberjackgarage193]

Agreed

[@markklecker2832]

I noticed the right front fender has been replaced.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

What makes you think that?

Whats the color code?

i have a black loaded

That fox was a pretty good find.. I stumbled across

[@champking20]

@@lumberjackgarage193 I’m excited to get into one soon. Hopefully a 87-89 GT

[@lumberjackgarage193]

@@champking20 good luck on the search

[@BlackCharger-xd4zx]

225 hp? They only had 210 factory. Sadly that was more than the C4 Corvette. The mid 70's- early 90's sports cars were extremely anemic.

[@gkrieger6824]

Wrong. 87 had 225 hp factory.

[@lumberjackgarage193]

According to my research 87 got some different heads and a few other tweaks for the 225hp and 300 tq rating

[@lumberjackgarage193]

The were a good foundation to make more power and have a pretty fun car

[@mistersecret88]

My 89. 225 when stock

[@champking20]

Don’t know where he got 210 from

[@mchristr]

“Barn find” status is not as important when a manufacturer made 2.6 million examples of a model.

[@oilgasproductions]

Noooo not a brush 😒 to wash

[@lumberjackgarage193]

I get it.. I used it intentionally to scrub whatever would come off.. then I did a clay bar and then a two step compound.. typically I’m not a brush guy after I’ve done paint correction
