That question you asked?
My answer/ 351c is under the hood of my ride
There´s a lot of good american cars, but (I life in germany) one car is my favorite one. I don´t know why, but I like the silouette. Do you know the car form Templeten "Faceman" Peck =) A 1984 Corvette C4 in white with red strips. Exactly this car 😉
That generation! Too spoilt
Amazing job guys.. loved your work❤
I've been watching you guys for about 7 or 8 months now,I don't even know why ya'll showed up in my watch list, but now I watch every one of your videos, ya'll do a great job.keep'em coming.
For someone thats been asking for the car for so long, i thought she'd have been a lot more excited than she was. Car looks great guys. Excellent job
Some people are just not good at expressing excitement... like me. Also you can't surprise an overthinker. Lol
alot of people are horrible at showing how happy they are about something, my parents bought me my dream car but no matter how hard i tried i couldnt like bounce with excitement but i made sure they knew how much i loved it
Not everybody is good at showing excitement and there's people that have problems showing emotions on camera..
I would say the same thing about the dad, who abandoned the car in the garage 4 years after he got it harrasing his neighbor about it and leaving it there as a shelf.
You will never fully appreciate something unless you work for and bought it yourself.
Showing excitement is natural. The person just doesn't care. Funny how you guys giving excuses to a non car enthusiast.
Windows of that era had no UV protection, so the rays faded the carpet through the side windows. Looks like (when) the car was parked outside the passenger side was facing the sun for the majority of the day.
That's what I was thinkin.
Cleaned everything but the underside of the hood! 👍
Thinking the same thing!
Same
And left some funky old stickers on the rear bumper.
I know man, I HATE that. That car has not been "detailed".
My thoughts exactly 👍😂😂
I don't understand, you pursued the original owner to sell you the car and then after you bought it you parked it and haven't touched it.
well he said he drove it for 4 years and it was right around that time his daughter was born so it was probably impractical to drive a family around in a 2 door mustang
My first car was a 67 Mustang Convertible. So much fun! Sold it for 67 Corvette fast back. Great car i owned for 5 years.
American muscle cars from mid 50s to mid 70s my favorite. I am in my late 60s now.
What a great dad! Hopefully the daughter appreciates this more than she showed, she did not seem too excited, I would be crying if my dad did this for me.
Side marker lights were a new requirement in 1968. My dad AND my grandfather both had almost identical 1967 F100 trucks and neither had side marker lights. US government made them mandatory for all 1968 model year vehicles. The lights in the hood are functional turn signal indicators. Not sure why, really as the ones on the dash are there as well.
My '68 was also originaly a vinyl top car. When I got it the original owner had painted it a pure white instead of its original red color. Before I sold it, I had it repainted back to its original red. I never did replace the vinyl on the roof, not many people do. But that is what the trim piece is for on top of the rear quarter panels.
Great car, Great story, and Great history going to an appreciative owner is awesome!
I just peeled the vinyl top off my old Plymouth sedan. Used the trim pieces (re installed) to cover the tape lines, painted the roof just a gloss white to match the underwhelming "Sahara Beige" main color. Luckily, no rot holes or such under the vinyl...that's what it is the best at- trapping moisture & rotting out the roof
Isn't the government great....how many near or at death catastrophes have those lights prevented???
The hood mounted turn signals are useful so you don't take you eyes off the road if you leave a signal on. Chrysler had the fender mounted lights for years and Cadillac had no turn signal lights on the dash at all for years, they only had the fender lights.
Vinyl tops rust like crazy 😂
luckily, just some rust on mine at the welded seams due to the bondo in those spots. Still not rotted through & the rest was beautifully clean@@josephkove6941
The only other thing besides the carb needing a little work is going through the brake system after sitting for so long. The drum brakes aren’t great to begin with but need master cylinder and wheel cylinder rebuilds to make sure it will maybe stop
Yes she will kill herself if the rubber brake lines weren't checked or new master
Good work....a car worth saving for sure. You all might consider doing a bit of resto detailing such as re-dying the carpet and door panels, a bit of black touch up on the console face, etc.
Detroit loves you guys!!! Another fun video. Those rims are so classic! The music is always so relaxing, even the power washer!
I have an 84’ Dodge Ramcharger with a 350 quad. You guys inspired me to clean under the hood and it came out great!
Another great detail job, guys. The carpet fibers are molded/created in that color, and UV rays deteriorate certain colors over time. And that plastic chrome on the door panels was a newly developed creation of the fashion world that car manufacturers licensed for this purpose. It wasn't meant to last 50+ years. This car has the optional knitted vinyl upholstery, which was first available as an option on the '67 Cougar. Ford used it a lot into the '80s on various vehicles.
the reaction at the end got me an awww, she was so happy to get it! and i can easily say that driving "old" cars are way funnier than new ones lol. such a classic deserves to be on the road again, amazing job guys
We were so happy to be a part of it!
reaction was very bad i think she knew it before
That wasn’t much of a reaction
@@PsunnProductions”oh… thanks”
Wtf😂
Strange you say that, another commenter said her reaction wasn't very convincing
That mystery yellow stuff is the cheese slice from your McDouble, from 20+ years ago.
Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations
Got our older one a GT350 as a gift for getting a full ride to college- right now it's still in my name, sitting in the back garage. Took one of my Audi's (a D2) to the Air War College for extra schooling there. BTW, unless that car has had a re-spray in modern materials (which it doesn't appear top be), that is single-stage enamel paint. Clear coat was not available. Concerning fuel- all that old stuff? Get rid of it. The ethanol content will dry out the old flex hose, the fuel pump diaphragm, carb seals/o-rings/needles/gaskets/ non-brass floats...you have to use the flex-fuel/ethanol-rated materials or you will have serious issues
What about the underside of the hood and the engine bay?
We did those too off camera!
Just beautiful!! 68 is my favorite year Mustang
I loved seeing you discover all the quirks with the 68 mustang, the door handles blew my mind too! I own a 68 coupe, so this was so fun to watch!
That was an excellent job of cleaning and getting the car running again! It's a lovely car. I remember when it first came out, it was that cat's meow! I wish the daughter had shown a bit more gratitude for the awesome gift, especially since she had been asking for it for years. Her Dad was more excited giving it to her than what she was upon receiving it.
I'm a sucker for a good detailing vid especially with older cars. I'm even a bigger sucker for a good story like handing down the car to a family member. Great job guys!
Absolutely GORGEOUS mustang!! I love that white with the red interior. What a lucky lady to be getting a gem like that! I hope she takes good care of it
That’s a turn signal hood and was specific to 67/68 Mustangs with certain trim packages. 67 had the two faux scoops and the 68 did not, it just had the ornamental trim pieces. The marker lights in the lower fender and rear quarter panel did not start until 68.
and the C4 tranny and center console with the deluxe interior are the more valuable than anything on the car. My 68 had those. they need to repair the bushings on the shift linkages though. it was sloppy loose!
Beautiful car, excellent work!! I hope the owner family will provide a new coat of paint, as well as small bodywork repairs... I would like the channel to revisit some customers, so we can find out additional chapters of these wonders, thank you!
How nice that car just came looking so good. As some else said go though the brake system. Change all the oils power steering antifreeze transmission . The early mustangs and thunder birds were some of my favorite cars . I also have a big love for Mopar. Great video guys.
I see yo missing the bottom part of the hood on many cars, but I still love your videos good job guys ❤
I really want to see how your seam sealer turns out. I thought of practicing on an old door to see what it takes to make it look oem. Also, before you mount your bus bar, if you are running fender liners, if you already haven't put one in place, it might a good idea to see if it interferes with the wiring. I think I ran my bus bar just above my horns. I can't wait to see your end result...looks awesome!!
You really REALLY brought this car back to life! It looks great and hopefully the car will bring her many smiles per mile… I love the burgundy interior, I wish those would make a comeback, great job!
Now it needs some more work.
Front drum brake to disk brake conversion.
Integral power steering upgrade.
Suspension bushings. Points to magnetic pickup distributor, fix the carburetor.
Compression check. Transmission check.
The dye in the carpet fading, maybe it’s from the heat as shown in the Mustang, it’s near the transmission area. Just a guess.
Hmmm, that could be possible!
Happened in my cousins 65 mustang too. Same area. We were told heat from transmission too
@@jimmykovein8135i would lean more towards the typical sun fading. the door panel is severely worn so clearly before it sat it was out a lot. the angle of the sun coming through the window paired with legs blocking most of the carpet is why it is closer to the center console. also, heat and dye usually get along well so i wouldn't expect the transmission heat from a smaller engine vehicle to be a factor. UV rays and dye however do not get along. keep in mind, just because its been in a shady garage for 20+ years doesnt mean it wasnt faded before he got the car
Agree, car is 56 years old. My 68 had same issues with carpet fade, our strong California sun definitely was the cause over years of exposure.
Self cleaning and used the stuff that contained bleach,
I always liked it when you get them to run after all your hard work making them look like new again. 👍
That’s such a beauty. Hailey you are a lucky girl to have this classic. Keep is as original as possible. Good luck and drive safe
Great job guys. I like the music you chose. Kind of went with the car. Thanks for video!
I was a senior in 71 I had a 68 burgundy mustang exactly like that it had a full front bench seat . But the back of the seat looked like bucket seats.
Ritt cloth dye from Walmart will fix the faded carpet. Easy fix detailing tip. Those carpets where made of early polyester material and were not "color fast". Which makes them easy to dye too.
Really love your content keep it up!
Thank you!
That was a fun one to watch….again! Well done gents!
The interior door handles were also 68 specific. That console was an option based on the trim package chosen or it was an optional add on as well that could be ordered when the car was new. The 68 console was padded where the one for 67 was just plastic.
Great job guys 👏
Father and son brilliant I love you guys you brought that pony back to life
Great video guys. My favourite muscle car. We should treasure and look after these classic cars. 💙👍🏻
A lot of classics have been “partially restored” at some point, and an easy way to make a carpet look new is to dye it or spray it. That’s just dye coming off.
Side markers on cars first appeared in 1968.
The more ya know!
Thank you for saving those hidden beauties. Great job guys.
Every week you put smiles on people great work
23:50... You guys are somewhat close to me.. I'm in Cuyahoga Falls.. South of you..
Awesome outcome on this Mustang 👍
Awesome video!! A complete tune-up go through the brakes fuel system and some Ford interior spray dye. You'll have an awesome awesome car
DAMN!!!! I am impressed 🤯
This guy has made something special. I really want to know how it drives and handles.
Great work guys! Nowadays it is difficult to find an old vehicle in as good condition as this one.
Always so wild to see the hidden gems just wasting away in a garage or barn. Life happens I guess 🤙
The door discoloring is oil and can be cleaned with some thinner on a cloth as for the carpet that was vegetable die and that runs into the rest of the color
Over time the carpet will change color due to oxidation. That is a simple nylon, level loop carpet that will easily take a dye. Ford reds would turn pink or even an off grey or slightly off brown. I used to pull the carpet, power wash it, dry it well, then hand dye it with a wet sponge using Rit dye. After it thoroughly dries, the loops will feel very stiff. Go over it with a stiff dry nylon brush and it will return to a normal feel. As a student studying automotive service back in the seventies, I would buy, detail, service, and flip vehicles to help with tuition. Did a '67 Mustang convetible with oxidated/faded carpet that came out like new.
Here in Australia we had the whole GM vs Ford thing going, both brands were built here however they were both closed down by the bosses in the USA but having been in the automotive industry for the majority of my working life, the first time l drove a BMW, an E30 325i, had me hooked and I’ve driven V8 BMWs ever since, the ultimate driving machine ❤
Great job, great story!
Growing up in the 90s my parents had a 68 red Mustang coupe just like that one, ours had a 302 (which 68 was the first year for the 302). Pretty good memories with that car. It had the Crager SS/T wheels. Such a fun car. Funny enough those two pockets in the center console are actually for the seatbelts
I love it ♥️ thank you young gentlemen for helping this father & his daughter, in making her dream come true 💪 🇱🇷
I have an 88 Mustang Gt convertible that I bought new. I have a 94 Mercury Capri built in Australia, and 2012 Mx5 Miata Grand Touring with a PRHT. I love all of them. The Miata is my daily driver. The 68 model had to be equipped with government mandated safety features . The marker lamps were part of the changes
Love your collection ❤❤
The side marker lights started in 1968 model year for all US made cars.
American muscle cars of course I have had mostly Mopar muscle cars. 1964 thru 1973.
Great work! Great car! Many thanks for a video!..
As one who worked on and dealt with older cars ,there is carpet dye available from Sherwin Williams that match most any color you desire too dye them. Check it out they can even do color match of this dye.
Old trucks, but the transformation of any vehicle is all that really matters. You guys are awesome!
Had a 65. Guess it makes me strange but prefer notchback models. Now I have 22 EcoBoost premium.
My first car was a '69 Mustang coupe w/ a 302, Automatic. It had one center hood scoop with turn signals in it. To me , that was really cool. It also had its original 8 track with four cassettes in the glove box😊 It was Lime Gold Green with a deep green interior. I wish I had been smart enough to have kept that car ! 😢 That said, I love this white '68 ❤
My favorite cars tend to be American made pre-1977 convertibles or station wagons. Favorite cars that I have owned included 1960 Studebaker Lark VIII Regal Convertible, 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible, 1975 Pontiac Grandville Brougham Convertible, 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, 1984 Cadillac Biarritz Convertible, and 1971 Buick Sportwagon. Two convertibles that I did not care for were my 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible, and my 1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible.
The great thing about Mustang’s is that you can point to any part on the car and that part is available.
Great job getting the dead mice outta there. Would have been cool to see the motor run a little better, but.. in due time.
that old Mustang was in pretty good shape. Did you guys clean the under side of the hood and trunk lid?
My dream car, which seems more and more unreachable by now he year, is the 1967 Ford Fairlane, 2-door, bucket seats, with a 289, with automatic, shifter, in the console, XLT, with all that beautiful trim. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get it. I want one that’s at least straight. Red interior, about the same color as the one in this Mustang.
im from the uk and have a big passion for classic/historic rally cars, like the ford mk1 and mk2 escorts, vauxhall chevette hsr's, some of the group b rally cars like the peugeot 205 t16 or the audi quatro, amazing cars for their time
Its the heat from the transmission that fades the carpets in that area
It’s a real beauty. Great job saving it.
That under the seat was icecream
rip to the smiley face. 8:40
8:35 you mean lol
Cool Job...Can't go wrong with early American larger body Muscle..Hemi's....Poncho's...409's...Ford 427's....iMO
Great job❤❤
Classic Torq Thrusts are definitely the best classic muscle car wheel. I've got some just waiting to go on my '65 Mustang, and I genuinely dont think there's a better fit.
Soo satisfying to watch ...
once it was running, I would've done a complete Tune Up, plugs/wires, Cap/rotor , oil /trans fluids & Carb, ALT Belts. It was really Rich when he drove off @ 27:20 it probably had a point's issue to. I Really like my 65 Wimbledon white Mustang coupe!!!
Often giving brings the greatest personal satisfaction and joy. I once had an 89 Saleen Mustang. It was #704 on a run of about 750 or so. Bought it new. My daughter was also born in 89. A few months after the build date on the car. It was a most uncommon model. A 25th Anniversary car, (Not a particularly rare thing.) It was a convertible. Most unusual paint (Tropical Yellow Pt. code 66. The top was camel skin (I think that is what it was called). The is pretty rare, according to Steve Saleen's wife, Liz. She's the person who told me a bit of the vehicle's history. The color on the car is the one least used on all Mustangs that year. Mostly 4 banger models. This one was one of three the same year, model, exterior colors combo, etc. However, there were two small point on my car that made in 1 of a kind. It came from the factory with a 3:55 limited-slip, and it was a the only one of the three with that 25th Anniversary emblem on the dash. (That WAS the only thing Ford did to ;specialize' the 25th anniversary of producing the line.
Anyway, my daughter grew up with the car. She began 'crusin' with me as a baby. Lost of local car shows. Stuff like that. She learned how to do basic car maintenance on the Mustang. She laid claim to it in a very subtly fashion. What began as daddy's car soon became our car which eventual became "my car, Daddy." She was about 10 when she declared ownership.
Please allow me to clarify one point. I said I had a 1989 Saleen Mustang. I still do. Sorta: It's still 'stabled' in my garage. It now belongs to my daughter. It is truly her car now, and I couldn't feel better about it. . I signed over the title to may daughter on her 25th birthday. However, I do hope , she finds a garage of her own someday, anyway.. Then again, the Mustang still keeps us together. You know? Crusin'. Stuff like that. Just like years earlier. except now she drives.
Mustang shined up nice and it's her 1st car now that's sweet.
Best lead in to an ad on You tube Yet! Great Job Guys!
when it comes to what kind of car. I don't watch it to see specific makes or models. I like the process of cleaning it and the amazing transformations you come out with. going the extra step further by making it run reminds me of pimp my ride minus the pimping. Your goofyness and sincerity make it enjoyable to watch.
2 minutes in and I can already see that this guy is the best dad in the world ❤
My best friend of 60 years, had the same year Mustang with the 3 speed transmission...and he sold it to one of our high school buddy's sistee. The last time I was back in my hometown, she was still driving that same car to her Real Estate office that was just a 2 minute drive from my parents house. Those early Mustang were definitely built to last!.
I’ve always loved the Ford Mustang. Specially the older Mustangs. I dont have a favourite year but I’d love to find the rare 1964 1/2 Mustangs. ❤
Love your guys videos.
Nice work guys!
wow, this might have been my favorite video of them all. Great car, great music, and great reveal !!! A+ :-D
As far as her reaction, it's unfair to say criticize her reaction. You never know what people are thinking when things like this happen. Some people express their excitement internally. Man, what a graduation gift!!!! Awesome!!!I
*I've never seen a gear shifter console like that before in a Mustang, is it factory?
Another great video!
Given that i drive a bmw e87 1 series and a VW T5 i have to say i prefer european. However in the past i have owned 3 toyota starlet gt turbos, a toyota glanza, ek civic and a primera gti, i can say i have a soft spot for JDM cars.
Keep up the videos guys, love them. All the way from the UK 🤘🏻
No real preference for a muscle car. But I would love to drive a soft top one of these (auto with cruise control) from Maine to Boston, Chicago and then via Route 66 to LA - starting in early May and arriving on July 4. Great work. Cheers
Car looked fantastic at the end. I guess you guys did the final buffout after the previous owner's repaint.
2 minutes in and I can already see that this guy is the best dad in the world
This is my most favorite episode 🎉
Great Job All! Congrats Haley!!!!! Get that Carb fixed, Brakes all over, and fuel line and off you go.
What a wonderful episode, guys
That's a lot of more Cleaning Stuff for the old school 1967 Ford Mustang GT Shiny Coupe.
Nice Win.
Nice work on the Mustang ! 👍
The car is absolutely beautiful and love your videos ❤❤
I am glad you are doing this for him......just a Kind Gent!!!!!
I’m a Chevy guy and love Corvettes in particular. My favorite muscle car is the Chevelle.
