I'm honoured to have been able to play a small part in the restoration process on this car and I can't wait to see this back on the streets! Not sure I'll ever forget that smell though....🤣
NEW Yard Geek video coming tomorrow!!!
Finally! I am thrilled to see your coming YardGeek on Saturday. ❤🚜👏💯
I'm excited!
@thedetailgeek detail that car to her former original glory cas cars like that are rare especially if there all original
Don’t tease us. Lol
It might be gross but I’m waiting to see that red mustang all cleaned up. If money wasn’t an issue a classic candy apple red mustang would be my dream car.
😂😂😂
It was nice to see Nolan so grateful and appreciative, not that some of your owner reactions aren't, but as this is a bonus/treat/toy car an owner could be more jaded by the situation.
Couldn't agree more!
@TheDetailGeek What was the original paint colour, great job as usual. Hi from Victoria, Australia. 😊
omg i wish i had a man with that car
@@TheDetailGeeki love watching your deep cleaning videos on your TH-cam channel
One of my favorite classic cars! You did a phenomenal job on getting it cleaned up. After he gets it running again, he needs to bring it back to the shop and give you a ride. I would love to hear that engine.
I would love you see you follow up with this one after the owner get its all fixed up or even give quick updates throughout that process if possible.
Agreed! I want updates!
Ditto!!!!
I’m convinced Mitch can clean ANY car now. He never lets us down 🙌
And he does it all for free...so cool.
@@mjuberianno he doesn't 😂
@@Renee5 I know.. I am sure it is a lot of money.
If he doesn't charge a lot..he should.
omg i wish i had a man with that car
Have my grandfather's '67 GTO sitting in my garage after inheriting it recently, so I have my dream classic car. Sadly, it's sat for 20+ years (in a garage, thank goodness), so it has some work to be done. Sadly found your channel just after getting an initial wash done otherwise I'd have emailed! 25 years of dust on the outside, and the damprid ran out about 10 years ago so dust and mold on the vinyl still needing to be addressed. But, the paint is beautiful, the rust is shockingly minimal, the motor is about 95% intact, and after some fluid care it can turn over and run. Time to let the adventure begin (once it's no longer 110 outside).
For the chrome pitting, one thing I found that works really well is to take a ball of aluminum foil, spray the chrome wd-40, and then sand the chrome with the aluminum foil ball. The aluminum is softer than chrome and will remove corrosion and fill in pits. While it will not be factory new, it is actually rather amazing how well it works
Great tip
yes! my Dad used to do it like that and also cola ✌
The little mouse was so adorable! I know it is not good to have inside, of course, but that little face was everything ❤ Amazing transformation as always, Mitch! Have been watching you for a few years and while I don't even have a driver's license, the intense cleaning process you always do makes my heart happy. Say hi to Mike for me 😂😂
Mitch did not show this, but that mouse got a hammer bashed on its head! Little brains all over!!!😂😂
@@dannysunay4386 And you think this is funny because....?
@@ScorchingAngel Cuz mice are disgusting vermin who ruin things.
@@ScorchingAngel😂😂
Mice are so dang cute!! Filthy, but cute.
The new owner is a very wise man. He brought this disaster to the best detailer around! What a shame this was left to deteriorate so badly, it’s going to be gorgeous when restored. Yes, this is one car I’d love to own. Thanks for sharing this video Mitch, you got this beauty looking (almost) new!
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
It is a bit of a waste of time to detail it because the whole car needs to be chemical dipped but it does look good while being worked on
What is chemical dipping?@@zulrockzagat1013
Excellent job! I can’t believe the carpet! For nearly 60 year old loop pile and to have been saturated by mouse urine for years the fact it came out intact, survived the drill brush and pressure washed clean is beyond a testament to the quality of Ford (and other Detroit) products in this time period. I’m baffled how well this car cleaned up. I’m shocked honestly. Amazing work sir. Wow.
Thank you!
It looks even better parked in my garage!! Luckiest guy around right now.
It looks like the floor pans and the trunk pans were replaced. My guess would be that is not the original carpet. If it is, I agree, amazing quality to withstand the amount of mouse urine soaked into it and the scrubbing Mitch had to do to clean it.😊 either way an amazing job.
his reaction to the finished product really shows that he’s absolutely the right guy to have this car
I’ve been watching you for a year or so and that was the best reveal!!! He was blown away! It’s funny to come across this tonight because I was just telling my son that his grandma owned an orange Mustang when we were kids. Amazing work on the details! I know the smell and all of the materials they gnawed to make bedding is really bad for you to breathe in but I’ve seen some of your details from customers who actually DRIVE around in their cars. At least this one has the, “I’ve been sitting in a barn for a hot minute!”, excuse, and you sure did it justice!
Now that's a reveal reaction, the guy's excitement was so legit i honestly felt for both of you guys. Good job mate, another masterpiece!
As someone that is working to restore a 67 Mustang that my mom and dad brought new, I always love to see others being saved. This one turned out so good especially considering where it started. It does seem to have a bit of an indentity issue between being a 67 or 68. The grill is from a 68 as are the front seats. 67 seats did not have a locking back to the best of my knowledge. Also think the C strip on the exterior was a 68 option. But still a great looking car. The owner might want to look behind the dash to see if the build sheet is there. Ford often taped those to the wiring harness behind the dash. It will have a lot of great information about the car and how it was when it left the factor.
i noticed that too.its a 67 but a 68 grill and seats.
All good points - one of the best things about the 67 was the pony and star corral in the grill, not the simple corral of the 68. With the chrome trim on the wheel wells and below the doors, it needs the pop off gas cap as well. Adding a new hood with the embedded turn signals would be good as well, a 67 option, standard on 68. Under the hood, a windshield washer box instead of a bag indicates a later 1967.
@@briannicklas10967s also didn't have the aluminum trim on the trunk lid and corner surrounds, 68s do. This car is an interesting Frankenstein. Has the 68 grill not the 67 as you noted.
@@1958Cadillac-v2g The trim on the lid and corners goes with the trim on the lip of the wheel wells and rockers "Exterior Decor Group" - I had it on my 67.
I want the VIN, really curious how many mods the owner made to it.
Your dedication is amazing, Mitch. I always learn something new from your videos.
The floor pans and the rockers are in amazing condition - that is going to make an amazing restoration! I'd definitely be replacing that carpet, though. There's no amount of steam cleaning that would make me comfortable driving that.
I was fortunate to have owned a 1967 Mustang in Britany Blue w/ the black vinyl top. Loved it and drove it for 13 years. Mine was a souped up 289 HP. Still miss it today!
I really love watching you clean cars. You're so meticulous in your efforts, and the finished product is always wonderfully done. If I lived in Canada, I'd certainly bring my car to you for detailing.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
What an unbelievable transformation Mitch. This has to be one of my favorite details you’ve done so far. Fantastic job!
Thank you!
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
Hands down the best owner reaction EVER! Great job Mitch, you are awesome!!
Thank you!
@@TheDetailGeek where do you live in what state?
@@Lower820he lives in canada i think
I need to come up and get my truck detailed it's 20 years old.
My favorite car of all time. I was born in 1959, so I enjoyed beauties like this in real time. A friend from high school had one exactly like this one. I was always so jealous. I’m glad to know that this amazing car will be back on the road, where she belongs. Great job, Mitch. Great job.
I believe that year was Rangoon Red. Candy Apple Red is normally much darker, like in the 60s models of Chevrolet Corvette.
I do enjoy watching your work!!
Detail Geek, I’m writing this at the bottom of my heart and I truly mean everything I say. I can confirm that I watch your videos completely on everyone of them. You have proven time and time again that you’re one of the top auto care detailers in existence in the world. If I wasn’t 1,758 miles southeast of you I would pick you above everyone else if the choice was given to me for sure. You’re amazing and talented man that takes love and care in everyone’s vehicles and anyone can be reassured that every vehicle will be as clean and perfect as possible. Congratulations on 3.45 million subscribers that you earned and worked hard for.
Thank you very much! ❤️
@@TheDetailGeek it’s taken me approximately 10 months of binging all of your 1-30 minute videos to completion.
@@TheDetailGeek I have dedicated a lot of my free time to see all of your most popular videos.
@@TheDetailGeek not only that I’ve watched all of your videos to completion twice on each of them by sharing them to friends.
That was a massive undertaking Mitch. You really stepped up to the challenge on this one! My dad had a ‘66 Mustang as I was growing up. Unfortunately it met its demise when he decided to knock a train off the tracks with it. Fortunately he survived and is living a great life. My favorite car was a ‘70 Thunderbird. I wish I still had it, but it rusted out from under me. I’ve also dreamed of having a ‘73 Mustang.
omg i wish i had a man with that car
I count it a privilege to have lived when these cars were rolling off the assembly line. Back in the 60's all of the manufacturers were turning out iconic muscle cars and it was fun to see the HP increasing every year! Being a Mopar guy I loved the Cuda's, Challengers, Chargers, & Road Runners. There is nothing like a 426 Hemi turning the car sideways on the downtown streets on Saturday night as we raced through the stop lights. Thanks Mitch, for an incredible trip down memory lane.
Last Summer, I bought myself a 1966 Mustang Coupe, Candy Apple Red all original. It has the V-8 289 engine. It’s so much fun going for drives during the summer. People wave, give 2 thumbs up, honk, etc. Stopped at a light, people on the sidewalk will make comments. It’s like a Happy Pill for everyone who sees it.
351-4V is a rare motor? Maybe in Saskatchewan. I don't have a lot of confidence in the current owner that did the cameo appearance. He could have done quite a bit of the clean up himself if he is serious about a restoration. Good job on the clean-up. Just a suggestion. To reduce back pain, use the rigid extensions to the vacuum hose. You can do MOST of the interior without getting in or bending over.
Can't wait to see you cleaning this one Mitch. I think this will be one of your best videos
That was amazing! I can’t believe it looked so good underneath, I was expecting that brightwork to be rusted to bare metal! He truly appreciated what you had done right there. The seats surprised me, I was expecting them to be flaking apart completely. You’re a miracle worker!
Dude, that transformation is unreal! I hope Nolan can get that beauty up and running soon.
I would have to wash the undersides of those carpets too. Mice wee and poo! The worst car I cleaned was used by a farmer to shovel all his horse manure into…I kid you not! I did extreme car valeting also for many years. No surface left uncleaned. In-depth cleaning and bodywork filling, moulding, then spraying. Loved the challenge! 👍👍👍👍👍😃
Watching this was kind of special to me. I owned a 67 mustang coupe for years. It was a light turquoise color with the black interior, and I kept it in good shape until I sold it to build a street rod. Now I own a 66 mustang, coupe. The cool thing about it is you have a little bit of each of these cars here. While my 67 was turquoise my 66 is red with the black vinyl top. That made it even more fun for me to watch. I’ve cleaned up a lot of messes in my life but I don’t think I could handle that one. Congratulations on the great job.
You couldn't pay me enough to clean that. You were a brave man taking that on. Unbelievable how it turned out. She's a beaut!!!!
Thank you!
@@TheDetailGeek I kinda have to agree. Afraid of breaking anything on one hand and honoured on the other. lol
Also, a tad disappointed that you didn't give the underside of the hood a once over while you were there. Being protected I bet it'd come up a treat. It would've made all that hard work you did go from great looking to special (imho).
Fantastic result tho... 👍👏
What an appreciative reveal. It means so much when there's an emotional attachment, right?
I know your gig is usually a well-needed sanitizing, Mitch, but I hope you get to see more 'preservation' work like this. So rewarding.
Great jpb, man!
Thank you!
My first car was a '67 Mustang, so this brought back memories of getting it cleaned up when I was a teen and in my 20s. I'd love to own one again someday. Thanks for the video!
I ❤ these type of channels.
I'm a 60 yr old young Grammy.
My Dad, brother and I worked on classic cars in our back driveway in a small 🌻 town.
I was wet sanding when I was around 10 yrs.old!
One car turned out a gorgeous 1960 something chevy Impala painted a beautiful dark burgundy wine?
It was stunning when done.
You should definitely see if you can get some updates on the car when he fixes the engine up some more! We'd love to see it! Probably your best detail yet Mitch! If I can own a vehicle from 1967 it would be a four-door black Chevy Impala haha
Thank you! And I certainly will!
Supernatural fan? xD That is a really nice car
@@ElryOrion You know it! Lol
Dean-Girl or - Boy?
Why do people have classic cars and I’m not going to cover it or clean it or protect it then say it’s worth tons lol
Maybe they are too old to care for it like they use to or they became disabled you never know someones back story so don't judge
I'm told covering it can trap moisture and promote rust formation
People have to much money...
The dust is a PROTECTIVE coating, lol
So basically most of the time back in the 60s and 50s when these cars were made, they were incredibly cheap for today’s money for example you could get a base model 65 Mustang for around $2500 when people were done driving these cars, they didn’t think to protect it because they weren’t really valuable back then, sometimes if a person had an emotional connection to the car, then they’ll cover it but most of the time that’s not the story
Really enjoyed the video. As a owner of a 1970 Candy Apple Red Fastback , I just have a few questions: unless I missed something, the hood interior was not cleaned. What happened to the 2 mice? Great job. Suggest some more muscle video's.
I caught the grey one in the Studio overnight and Nolan got the brown one a couple days later 😄
@@TheDetailGeek I was wondering if you caught them lol.
Great restore work on an icon! I’ve been a Mustang car owner for years! Bought in their model year, I’ve owned a white 1998, 5-speed, and currently own a 2002, body in good condition, silver auto. Loved them! Very few mechanical issues other than maintenance. 💝
This car is my Eleanor. She was gorgeous even before you started detailing her. You did an amazing job!!!🤩😍
Holy cow. You did an amazing job on this one!
My dad had a 64 1/2 Mustang back in the 60s. Had to sell it when my parents moved to where they live now because it wouldn't pass inspection (rusted floor boards and other issues). He loved that car. The muscle cars from the 60s are amazing!
Kudos to you!! You have nerves of steel😅😅 when encountering the dead and live mice. I wouldn't pick up a dead mouse even with gloves!! You did an awesome, amazing job ❤❤💯
My parents had a green 67 mustang that my older brother learned to drive on in the early 80's. My 82 year old dad says to this day that he regrets to this day selling it to a coworker in 1985. Love seeing you work on this favorite type of muscle car.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
My husband and son rebuilt the motor of a 2006 Subaru forester as my daily driver , it had sat out side and was a mouse motel for years the mice nest were everywhere, even up in the headliner air vent system! Oh the smell was horrendous. I shudder when I saw the nest you dealt with. I was in charge of cleaning and detailing the inside. I learned how interior was built and how to take out install. The smell is the most terrible. And can’t imagine doing this more than once.
I had a 67 Mustang, that's a 68 grill that should be replaced with the original one. Looks fairly sold, the shock towers rusted out on mine
Do you get inside the glove compartment??
Yes he dose in other videos he’ll show it just not always will he show it
I think if I were in your shoes, I’d be apologizing to this beauty for being so mistreated all those years. You did an amazing job with her.
Awesome job! When he gets it running and all back together and fixed up hopefully he’ll bring it by and you can do a quick follow up on the finished product!!
You should have used a full body protection with so much dirt haha. But great job dude, like always!
Never have been a ford mustang fan. My 60’s car would be a 67 fastback stingray with the split rear windshield. You did a fantastic job of cleaning and detailing it. Kudos!
I love most of the 60s muscle cars, but my absolute favorite has to be the 67 Camaro Convertible. I absolutely fell in love with it the first time I saw one.
Fantastic work, as always! I would love to see a follow up. Maybe you applying a ceramic coating on it when fully restored?
I'm happy you had the reverence for the car, and that the new owner is putting it back on the road. It kills me how people get these classics, get tired of working on them or get in over their heads and put them in a corner somewhere to rot. Good job on this one.
A valiant effort as always.. Good call on just replacing the carpet. New OEM parts for these early Mustangs are easy to find. There are retailers out there that specialize in remaking just about everything on the car.
Looks like it has good bones - should come up pretty well, provided there isn't too much hidden rust....
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
Nothing in the world, like the sound of a happy baby 👶 ❤
Thanks for sharing your family time 😊
Watching from knoxville Tennessee,USA
So, I work in healthcare, and I was glad to see you wearing a mask when you clean the car interiors. Mice droppings carry Hantavirus, which causes serious disease. The two main types of disease caused by a hantavirus are Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (found in North America) and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (found mainly in Europe and Asia). Having a HEPA filter on your vacuum would also be a good thing.
INCREDIBLE! Wow, this video was like an early Christmas gift! Would love to see a follow up when the full restoration is complete!
The mice must be devastated to lose their sweet ride tho...
Some day I would love to watch you detail a ‘66 or ‘67 GTO, my dream car!
On a bright note, they have some pretty cool tools today to use to properly flush out that engine, the cooling system, etc. Hopefully Nolan is or knows a good mechanic shop where they can do it right.
Curiosity question Mitch. Those mice had to have gotten into the dashboard and the ventilation system, did/do you clean that out too or leave it up to the owner to pull the dash and deep clean.
A *_long_* time ago a friend and I were scavenging abandoned warehouses and found a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda, if you've ever seen the Phantasm Movies? It was just like that car. It was all original and had been stored or hidden in the warehouse for a long time. We cleaned it up and even got it running, but some of the more extensive work that we couldn't do was done by the collector we sold it too. We got almost 18K for it back in 1982!
The guy still has it all this time later! It is an AWESOME car.
We also found a Porsche, it was the original drab green, had leather and mahogany interior, the transmission was in the trunk! The body was like a frigging tank too. There was no rust or dings or dents. We got the Cuda and the other group took the Porsche. They got *_WAY_* (almost 35K!!!) more for that one, but we still made out like bandits for 16 year olds.
I think instead of teaditionally walking customers through the door, you should surprise them by raising the garage door. Thank you for bringing back to life this dream car DG!! 👍
30:16 you could tell he wanted to touch it but then thought twice about leaving fingerprints or smudges 😂
Will you revisit these cars after their restoration? It would be cool to see how they turn out.
I'll try to with this one!
@@TheDetailGeek It would be awesome to see it when it's done, if you can revisit it!
I owe DG an apology. The way this car looked at the beginning made me question how good it could look after being cleaned up. This is amazing. I hope it can be made road worthy soon. It will surely turn heads.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
Would love to see more classic cars you clean up. I enjoy these. Chevelle or Charger is definitely on the preferred list.
One of my cousins actually just restored a ‘67 Chevelle and a ‘67 Nova. It’s amazing seeing classic cars be rebuilt and restored. Great video Mitch!
Always thrilled to see one of these! They are so rare now, even though I live in San Francisco, California (with our temperate climate). I owned the same one in early 1990’s. It was red, but not that sweet looking candied apple ❤! Thanks for taking me back…. JT.
Nice job too. So glad to see the seatbelts get done as well.
Do you clean the floor underneath the carpet when you have to remove them?
Love watching your work!
Keep up the great job!
Well done Mitch, it's amazing transformation, great job!
Mitch, i think that you should get a 2 post lift and get a dry ice machine, that would boost your detailing a loooot! Great content btw keep it up! I enjoy watching your videos
Just stumbled across your channel. I like the fact that you detail old and new cars, very nice. A friend of mine owned one of these gorgeous Mustangs back then, and what fun we had driving around in it! Such great memories. 😊
I just found your channel and love it. I have a 2004 Jeep TJ very clean no rust. What's your take on spray in liner to replace the carpet through out. I live in a very dry climate but have a dog that sheds. Thanks
Oh man. That smell must've been horrendous. Speaking as someone restoring a '69 Toyota Corona, what you've done for the owner gives him a heck of a head start on his resto and I know he'll appreciate you forever for it. Wow. Just wow!
The smell was worse than anything I’ve ever experienced, I’ll never forget it. 🤮
Mouse pee 😂
@@TheDetailGeek Thanksgiving week my oven gave out so I had to replace it. Apparently some mice had gotten into the spare oven and we didn't know until we turned it on to test it. The smell of warm pee/poop/baby mice? reeked of death. Oven was thrown out the door and husband lost his dinner in the lawn. Will never forget that smell.
You couldn’t be more right! I’m light years ahead of where I planned on being at this point, the car is now living in my garage instead of the Quonset I had it in. Incredible experience with Mitch and incredible job done on this. I’ll be picking him up for a tour when it’s going!
@@El_Nolo That's wonderful! Hope you make a video when you do!
Dude, don't leave us hanging! Did you catch the resident mice? 🐁
I caught the grey one in the Studio, Nolan caught the brown one a few days later 😄
Truly great detail Mitch, thanks for bringing this legendary car back to life
Somebody get in touch with the owner I would love to see this beauty documented in the restoration process. It definitely DESERVES to be restored to its former glory.
Great job Mitch, I would have never attempted that!
Loved the look on your face when the paint flaked off of the cowl panel, but that is normal for these year model cars as Ford thought it to be a good idea to make those panels out of pot metal.
Keep up the great work!
Detail geek never disappoints
You forgot to clean under the hood 😂
He did
Amazing Mitch, I so enjoyed watching this one as the others. You're amazing at what you do. Salutes again, Peace!
Wow this was a hard one to watch. Especially while eating breakfast 😂
What a beauty! Would love to see an update if/when the new owner finishes the restoration. As for me, I'm a Chevy girl... A '66-'67 Impala would do nicely, or if I'm really dreaming big a 57' Belair
I call it " The Mouse Stang" Great car to restore.
Very clever!😂
Best part about a Mustang is it's aftermarket. Every single piece in that car is available.
If it were me, I'd just throw away all of that interior.
Great job, Mitch! You turned a Mouse-tang back into a Mustang! 😁👍
Loved seeing the transformation and how the owner just beamed at the end. Found myself wondering as you were clearing out all that filth how you make sure your tools are cleaned and sanitized before the next job. What sort of maintenance do you perform on your tools between cars?
Did you get the 2 live mice out?
Looks like such a cool classic car 🚗!! Job well done Mitch!
Thank the heavens! You pre-soaked before pressure washing 👏
Best owner's reaction!
Hi there:
I have to admit, that I most recently have been a Pontiac girl.....but my very first LOVE was a 1967 Mustang.
Anyway: this one's a great classic....and once fixed up a bit, just look at the old girl NOW!
Great work....I'm your new fan. M. from Upstate, New York
The owner's reaction was priceless ❤ He truly appreciated the work you did!
The owner seems like a very nice guy! I'm happy for him!
The owner seems like a cool guy and glad he owns it now - can't wait to see that he does with it! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
I've seen several of your videos and am impressed. One question: Do you do anything with the head liner? I heard you say something about smoking when working on the seat belts.
Another question: how much of the smell was eliminated?
Fabulous job as usual! Were you able to get any of the live mice out of there before the owner picked it up? I can’t imagine the smell…
I feel like with a paintjob where the windshield is, complete mechanical servicing and a door panel and seat it'll be a great cruiser.
There were lots of spots around the car where the paint had flaked off so it does need a repaint at some point or the rust will eventually creep in
What an amazing car!!
Fantastic job! What an absolutely beautiful car, one of the most iconic styles in history. If I were a Canadian mouse, I would be honored to die inside of it.
I owned a 1967 Mustang in high school. It had a Sprint 200 engine and the original color was Playboy Pink. I was the 4th owner. I can kick myself for selling it in my mid 20’s. You did a phenomenal job! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic job! Love to see the classics restored and taken care of! @TheDetailGeek , did you catch the other 2 mice? I would hope so. I would hate to see all of your beautiful work undone by their still being in the car! Blessings for a wonderful 2024!
WOW, there can't be any foam left in those seats!
There wasn't 🙁🤣
Surprised about how little rust was on this car. Other than sitting in a barn for a long time it was obviously put up during the winter months.
