Why would you start a car that sat for fifteen years without putting lubricant down the spark plug holes and on the cams with a hand crank before starting……
He did it for TH-cam. He obviously got the car dirt cheap, he's going to flatbed it to the best shop possible, have it completely returned to factory condition, enjoy it for a while & sell it for a healthy profit. That is the Ed Bolian way.
As a flat bed driver that mainly transports film and TV vehicles, with a few high end vehicles thrown in the mix, not many exotics, I can say I do not envy the driver that hauled this car for you guys lol that driveway slope definitely made for a less than great load angle. Good on em for having the proper ramps and equipment, not many guys carry the 2 stage race ramps these days
For real watched the whole video thinking they MUST talk about the story at some point. They probably just stuck a ford GT in a dirty garage for views lol
I'm assuming the Ford GT was inherited after death of the original owner. Because that super car is extremely out of place in that tiny outdated and dirty garage. Also, I highly doubt the original purchaser of this GT would let it waste away like that. It would make sense to me if a widow inherited it and couldn't bring herself to ever sell it
Can’t wait to share the adventure of this GT going from Hoard to Ford! PS, for everyone who expressed concern, yes all relevant fluids and levels were checked before the car was cranked; no GTs were harmed in the waking!
@@massminer2343 You're obviously not a mechanic. Engine been sitting that long all the oil is in the pan ,leaving the top end dry and the valvetrain and rings etc metal on metal.If you have no oil in the pan either then you will have zero lubrication and that ' minute or so' can wipe a cam, seize bearings and all kinds of fun things.
Watching you start that car with zero pre checks, fluid change, fuel change etc. was absolutely criminal....how can anyone have such little mechanical sympathy for such a rare and original car like that....
Yep, he wore those shoes, walked around the garage, stuck a foot in that moldy carpet and probably wore those shoes back into his house. boots next time Ed wear boots
My kind of car! Not like it helps too much. If my car dies and doesn't start back that's when the maintence starts lol. But then again I drive $500-$800 cars.
It's a 5.4 3v that's kinda their thing, people always call them crap engines but man they can take some serious neglect and never rarely ever throw a check engine light in my experience
I'm a long-time Georgia resident. Cars can get that moldy in 6 months when stored in the wrong manner. Big contributors are closed windows, closed garage, high heat, high humidity, and a lot of shade. It's a recipe for stale, humid air that isn't moving. I'm just shocked there were no stuck wheels. If it had drum brakes, I could almost guarantee at least one of them would be frozen.
One of my dream cars. I almost bought one for 110k back in the day. Would be worth so much now. Doesn't matter though because I never would have sold it.
What doesn’t matter is that you never bought it, not that you would have never sold it. Whether you were going to sell it or keep it, it would have still been worth the same.

Why in the world would anyone buy a Ford GT, stick it in the garage, and, NOT drive it?! It is, arguably, one of the most reliable, comfortable, daily driveable supercars ever built!
"daily drivable" The 04/05 GT is known for having a heavy clutch that's incredibly touchy. It's not exactly daily friendly, even if it could potentially be used that way.
I don't understand buying a car and then purposefully not getting the driving experience you paid for. GTs are reliable and comfortable. I'd love to be rich enough to buy a car and never drive it.
None of you are right... this is a psychological disorder. Some people hoard things and literally can't sell or part ways with their possessions. It's quite sad to experience firsthand. It consumes every fiber of ones being. Everything they do and say is to justify their persuasion. Dont get depressed. It will consume you.
@@cg873 Makes sense, as there is a lot of other useless junk in that garage. I’ve had the opposite situation where I got rid of almost everything I ever owned at one point after my divorce. Lost the attachment to worldly possessions for a while.
Only time will tell how healthy this engine is. Modular 4v engines can be very sensitive to oil being in all the right places on startup. Legit Street Cars and Stay Tuned each had fresh modular builds that they accidentally torched because they didn’t prime the oiling systems before first startup. Likely a car sitting 10+ years may not be as bad as a fresh engine with assembly lube only, but it should still give pause. Ford even included a feature where you can floor the throttle as you try to start it, and the ECU will cut fuel so that oil can circulate through the engine. Hopefully they checked everything and primed it before first startup
There’s an 04 Ford GT (Blue with white stripe) in Macon, Georgia with less than 2k miles on it in premium condition sitting in the owner’s airplane hangar.
The sound of zero oil pressure when people don't even bother to disconnect the ignition coils and crank the motor for oil pressure before starting something that has been standig still for so long. So sad.
True barn find. It's likely just bad gas, sure pumps and stuff are probably tired, but I would expect it to really come back to life with fresh high test
I looked away from my phone as you rolled up to home depot, I heard the music looked back.to see if I could skip the add lol killer touch, props to the editor
I've resurrected dozens of cars that have sat for years or decades. I wouldn't personally have started a car that valuable on fluids that old, but there you go 😂. Things that sit that long usually have frozen brake calipers/wheel cylinders, stuck piston rings, stuck lifters, and all sorts of problems in the fuel system...rusted fuel tank/lines, varnish in everything. Gas turns to into all kinds of nastyness as time goes on. 15 year old gas is barely even combustible lol. I also would have skipped the tyvek suits and just worn a good respirator, but then i just wear work clothes when i know I'm going to get dirty 😂.
Dude, I dunno who shot and produced that video but Damn! They did a great job. Those rolling shots were awesome especially in the tunnel. The whole video was great well done lady’s/gentleman
You're going to need to COMPLETELY disassemble that interior...including removing the dash, carpet, door panels, interior panels, etc... I do mean EVERYTHING. The amount of mold and mildew up under the dash and under the carpet and in all the little nooks and crannies will be considerable and you'll never get to it without a 100% tear down. Sweet car and well worth the effort to do it right.

Yea can't sat that was a smart move. Hope they checked that it at least have oil before cranking. There was no oil on those bearings when it cranked. I woulda done everything possible to not start it until it was in a shop and i can change and prime all fluids.
Yea I think personally this was all set up beforehand...look how all of the cans look like they were placed there...they probably had ran it already...just a guess though
I always wanted one that color combo. Its a shame it doesn't have the wheels, but they all can't have all 4 options. Can't wait to see it clean and running correctly.
I’m not much of a high value car expert, but like any other car i have worked on Wouldn’t it have been smart to check the engine, for compression, service it and change fluids before starting it?
Why? Aslong as its not seized and they know nothing has got into the engine (cylinders etc) it's no different to starting it after 10 days is it?! Obviously their gona be dropping all the fluids and giving it a complete service. Gotta try start it at some point.

@@philipgreensmith1694 I have a f150 lightning that I let sit for just over a year and I put a refresh on oil and started it up with out checking over everything and turns out i had mice eat some of the wiring which caused the truck to rev to the moon and send a piston outside of the block. These guys didnt even check if there was nests in the engine bay that could catch fire which would be very likely with how much debri was all over the place.
This is the car that I have pictured in my mind for the last 18 years as my most wanted. Ive only ever seen one. Maybe someday Ill have my chance at one.
This is it y'all... This is what the future of barn finds a gonna look like. No longer classic cars and American muscle. It's gonna be early 2000's sports and super cars. Can't wait so what this project turns into!
This really looked like a fabricated barn find, tires had air, has gas, they started without checking the oil. Feels like a promotional video to all of Eds friends
Nobodies garage should look like that. I don't care if it was inherited that way or destroyed in a castrophy. Especially someone that new enough to put a $200k+ car in there.

So what’s the backstory on why it sat for so long and why the home appears to be abandoned?
I figure the previous owner had some lottery winnings to burn and ended up losing their ass. It's just a theory, but it seems plausible.

@@philipgreensmith1694 I have a f150 lightning that I let sit for just over a year and I put a refresh on oil and started it up with out checking over everything and turns out i had mice eat some of the wiring which caused the truck to rev to the moon and send a piston outside of the block. These guys didnt even check if there was nests in the engine bay that could catch fire which would be very likely with how much debri was all over the place.
Why? You must know very little about how cars work if that made you cringe.
This is the car that I have pictured in my mind for the last 18 years as my most wanted. Ive only ever seen one. Maybe someday Ill have my chance at one.
Nothing says Ed Bolian Barn find better than 70’s Porn music. Bless your heart Ed and best luck with GT Moldy.
I saw this spec going up 400 several years ago. Tried following. The Ram was lazy that day. Fueled day dreams for a year.
VGG would be saying hold my wobble pop
For sure man!
This is it y'all... This is what the future of barn finds a gonna look like. No longer classic cars and American muscle. It's gonna be early 2000's sports and super cars. Can't wait so what this project turns into!
The singing judge lol!
The hazmat suit and loafer combo is crazy🤣
I definitely don't think it's a good thing when you're Ford GT sounds like a Harley-Davidson that was one mad Ford GT
I can't wait to hear the story behind this one! Owner must have been sick and passed away? Just speculating.
It does not sound happy. You even smell the gas or check the condition of the oil before starting?
This really looked like a fabricated barn find, tires had air, has gas, they started without checking the oil. Feels like a promotional video to all of Eds friends
@jowarrior Betting they pumped the tires & did some cursory liquid checks before moving the car. Probably wasn't worth the B-Roll.
I love the fact that Ed is still rolling around with Japanese plates on the Diablo! lol
The Mold Gt
Nobodies garage should look like that. I don't care if it was inherited that way or destroyed in a castrophy. Especially someone that new enough to put a $200k+ car in there.
