    Man, this whole series was great, even teared up a bit at her shocked reaction seeing the car. Love how she just jumped in no questions asked. I’m pretty sure she was transported back in time during that neighborhood ride, soaking in the memories of her husband and her cruising around. That was beautiful!

    I just like how natural Davin is in all of his videos on Hagerty. He's not trying to be a showman or an entertainer like so many people on TH-cam. His videos are educational and relaxing to watch without any drama and he even managed to get me, a person who was a strict JDM/Euro fan, interested in American cars.

    special cars, like this one, owned over a long time, are part of the family's life story and seeing them again brings back memories of the experiences of years ago, and gives the owner a chance to relive them again. so nice that she could re-experience her husband's excitement to get the car going back in the day, and here it is today. it's more than a car, its part of a life. but its a pretty cool car too.

    My parents had a 1969 Mercury station wagon and a gravel driveway. I was about 10 and learning car maintenance and changing my first oil change and my dad said, let's do the radiator coolant too. The oil we collected, but the antifreeze we just drained onto the driveway. He said it wouldn't hurt. We've come a long way since then.
    Your opening the radiator drain just reminded me of that moment. 50 years ago. Nice car. I always wanted a 68 or 69 Mustang, especially after I saw my first Mach-I.

    I bought a new 1999 GT Anniversary convertible in June of that year. I drove it for 18 years but it got too tired to keep spending money on and I sold it to Carmax in 2017. I have regretted that ever since. I traced it to Las Vegas NV but no idea if it’s even intact. I’d do anything to get it back. I teared up watching Sue as I know I would lose my mind if mine came back to me.

    "There are no rattles or squeaks...". The Mustang was constructed on the Falcon/Fairlane chassis. Unibody construction went a long way in keeping the cars from rattling. These were simple solid cars that were cheap, looked nice were reliable (for their day) and were easy/cheap to repair when they did break. It's why they were so popular and why they remain popular.

    What surprises me is the minimal investment that it took. A set of brakes new hoses and new engine wiring is not that big of a deal. The engine didn't need to be rebuilt, the transmission didn't need to be rebuilt, the rear differential didn't need to be rebuilt. Replacing those seals on the rear axle was probably the most intense thing you had to do. And I would think that for you that was a minor effort as well.

    Great little mini series. Now I have to get in the garage and work on my 69 Mach 1 S-code.

    Nice to see an OG mechanic doing it bare handed and not afraid to get their hands dirty

    Loved Sues reaction to the car!! Priceless gift for her. As an aside, looks a nice part of the world as well.

    I bought a new 1969 Mustang with the same color and trim features. Cool!

    Great looking Mach!!! Really like seeing these originals have some wrenches turned on them and put back on the road!

    Love this Mustang. I love the sound of mine everytime I start it.

    What a great video. Love the reaction when it pulled in the laneway.

    Yeah, I like how she was casually talking about the car and then happened to notice it driving around the corner up to her house and the shock that it was not only running, but that she could drive it! She looked so happy driving that car! To think that at one time, maybe in the late 70s to early 80s, that would have just been a cheap old used car, fully depreciated, that could have been picked up for a fraction of what it sold for when new. Today, you'd be lucky to buy a used taillight for that same price!

    Nice work, getting that beauty on the road. It sure needs to be driven and enjoyed.

    Great series, Davin. Kudos to you guys at Hagerty. I had a model of a ‘69 Mach 1 that I painted in exactly that color. I kept that thing on my dresser for years, dreaming that I would eventually have a real one. Life got in the way, of course and I never did get that Mach 1. BUT, I do have a very real 2013 GT500. A very suitable substitution. Lol. Lucky for all of us that a local Traverse City guy had a perfect car for you to video. Thanks again.

      @@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS exactly my thoughts. I got a good deal on the Shelby 6 years ago, about the same $$ as a driver quality Mach 1 without all the benefits of 21st century engineering. Better yet would be the Mach 1’s classic sheet metal on the Shelby’s chassis and drive train.
