Starting that car without changing all fluids and fuel first was a really poor decision.
More of a reason i believe it didn’t want to stay on
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.
The Home Depot sponsorship will cover it.
That was a Tyler Hoover tier decision
I was dying every second it struggling to run
You know your getting old when cars that you saw being sold new are now becoming barn finds 💀🤣
Indeed. I had just started my first job after college when this car came out and someone at my company bought one and drove to work every day. That makes me feel about 80 years old now. 😂
And when 2000 felt like a few years ago
Shhh be quiet I don't want to think like that
They had a red one at the Ford dealership my parents use to buy cars at. The sales reps had a lot of fun taking that out with customers. I think the look of the Ford GT is timeless. It may be a 20 year old car now but man does it still look amazing
@@young11984 it still feels like a few years ago... Lol
Ed walks around home Depot and the driveway like a 70 year old confused grandpa. Lmao
Kinda reminded me of Biden
@@brandonford8092 Biden in his prime 20 years ago. Lol.
@@brandonford8092 at least he's not a rapist
I read this and looked back at the video right as he was walking the driveway. 😂
Can confirm, Ed has grandpa status.
Like a confused Grandpa with INSANELY cool cars!
The GT has aged very well. Our lungs after this encounter…less so.
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……
Not you sounding like a prescription drug commercial, even before everything. 😂😂
Man buy a real respirator.
How about a new interior at e3 customs?
@@Bruce_bianchiIt wasn't sitting outside. It's fine
Those bright blue loafers really complete the hazmat suit.
Your display device needs calibration… ☺️
😂 I was about tot to say TF up with them shoes??
That's the exact attire for when you're climbing through moldy barns and cars. LMAO
Ugly as the Diablo.. 😂
I would be wearing boots
Ed’s biohazard suit with no socks is a real fashion statement. 😂
he def needed a full face respirator
Wearing fashion loafes with the Tyvek coverall is very fashion forward, very Ed Bolian IMO
Using the home depot commercial music for the home depot shot was a fantastic touch
Starting the car before check on fluids and doing at least oil service it blows my mind
Also it sounds like it's misfiring which can lead to catastrophic failure on an interference engine like that one
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!
Maybe show that next time
Lot of people were upset about that lol. It's hard to hurt it in a minute or so of running.
What was the mileage on the GT?
@@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.
I think that's a dry sump engine, no oil pan really. @@kasmanien
"we found this car for $15 and a pack of gum. With $100 and some ekbow grease, we'll turn around and sell it for $500k"
Ed has a hazmat suit and basically bare feet lol
Foot fungus is real.
Those are some gay shoes.
@@todhog indeed.
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
not to mention removing his gloves with his bare hands..
firing it up aftern 15 years was just stupid.
Wasn't even running on all eight and they keep starting it trying to drive it out of there. Made my soul cringe
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.
most important comment
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
@@kronmantalityThe story will probably be a video of its own.
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
Goes to buy hazmat suit masks and gloves but still wears loafers with no socks, makes sense
No respirators either in all that mold spore...
And he took his gloves off by grabbing the outside of the glove with his bare hand...
No check engine light..... running on 3 cylinders but no light 😂
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.
Let's be fair...It's hitting at least 4
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
@@brandonpeterman9964 Not a 3v, it's a 4v.
Rut Ro, electrical. Are you certain no rodent damage?
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
They did a great job.
KO is top notch. They do all of our high end hauling!
They knew who they had a pick up for. Loaded the what ifs.
Ed, please give us the story on the car. How does sombody let the car sit for 15 years? I would drive that thing alot.
@vinwiki I see you liking this comment but no story!! Don't hold out
The story is; they put a mouldy ford GT in a dirty messy garage for views lol
It was 10 years. Not much of a story at all
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....
Staged? Makes no sense and the whole hazmat suits was over played. That garage wasn't that bed
I'm thinking " barn finds " are not really the comfort zone arena for the two of you... hahaha
This was such a posh barn find. It's unbelievable and you didn't change fluids or do a compression test!!!! Barn find 101.
Imagine buying an abandoned property and everything on it is now yours. Opens garage door and finds 05 FORD GT..
The bricks that guy shat that day must have been unheard of.
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!
Investment, too scared to put mileage on it. Let it rot instead, which wasn’t a good call. Cars are meant to be driven though.
"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.
You guys are crazy for running that motor
So old guy passes away and wife doesn't know what to do with the weird silver car in the garage for 10 years??? What a cool find!
Man, id love to be so well off that I could just forget about a ford gt sitting in the garage
Yeah, right! The old story of having more money than brains here!
Congrats Ed!
A $100 Ozone generator from Amazon and a few hours (ideally with a car cover on) would kill that mold😎
been helping a friend clean out his mom's house (she ain't dead, just moved), and i'm telling ya, a couple 4 hour max output ozone treatments of the garage, and it no longer feels like i'm gonna die of some strange disease in a week.
My ex-wife's granny lived in Alpharetta. When she passed, she and her mother and her brother were sure they were going to be in the money. Turned out her home was so moldy it would cost more to remediate than the old place was worth. And then there was all the credit card debit. Oh well. Karma's a beotch :)
Nice to see the different video format
Any vinwiki video with Ed I am down for. The car trek energy has really come out in the last few years and I am down with that!
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.
The hazmat suit is for safety, the sockless green Loafers are for aesthetic.
You two are the definition of more money than Brains. You two are literally hurting my soul watching you trying to drive it up a hill after the length of time it’s been sitting
They don't care, bought it to flip
Money makes up for a lot of brains. It'll be fine eventually.
Well you gotta have brains to make the money they do
The fuel would be horribly bad
@@jimmybrooks1650 Or inherit the lions share of it from your family
Pains me thinking this is 10 year old fuel being ran through it lol
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.
Still matters, now you can't afford one and didn't get to enjoy one for all those years.
@@n.j.crawler hey, let me cope in peace
So who owns it ? Who found it???? ... give some background guys !!!!
Oh my god it makes me so sad to see that just sat there rotting away :(((
think i saw a smile creep into that pretty cars grille as you opened the garage door! Knowing it was about to be saved!👏🏽
I’m going to rescue a barn find in Turquoise slippers. 😮😂
I like how a camera on the windshield of the Diablo is like a camera on the hood of most cars. lol
Hazmat suits with loafers and no show socks 🤣. Loved the video!
Damn they tried to start a car thats been sitting so long. Made me cringe
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.
@@philipgreensmith1694best to at least turn the engine over one full revolution by hand to make sure there's nothing built up in the cylinders from condensation
What would Dennis Collins on coffee walk do regarding getting in a hurry to start a abandoned car.
@@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.
“One giant leap for ed bolian” was waiting for that😂
That Diablo A/C treating you nicely I see. Roll 'em down!
Correct
Think the car should have been fully cleaned and decontaminated first, then sent to DC motorwerks for mechanical stuff.
Bring that to my shop? Don't bother unloading it off the truck. Call a hazmat team first
Did I miss the part where they explain how this car came to be molding away in the garage?
Nope, it'll probably be a story video
Nothing says Ed Bolian Barn find better than 70’s Porn music. Bless your heart Ed and best luck with GT Moldy.
My dad has a 2000 cobra R that has been sitting about 15 years that is finally on it was to be revived. Only has 2k miles.#6 of 300 made
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 😂.
A lot of theatrics in that video... stupidity as well
Holy Yuppy shoes!
Ford nailed it with this car. Looks so good 20 years later.
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.
That poor gt didn't deserve that. Makes me sad to see it like that
When my dream cars I grew up with and played on video games are now becoming barn finds 😢
Ed's driving shoes are the best! 😂
A visual story, a nice and welcome change. Well done!
Love the "asshole's garage" sign at 7:44
I cringed when they cranked it and let it run with that old gas and fluids. It’s in good hands though with DC MotorWerks.
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
Why care if the car is getting completely redone?
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.
How can a so-called car youtuber try to start a car like this without changing the fluids first??? my god that was beyond painful to watch...
It’s his car.
Not everyone is mechanically-minded. Some people like cars for the mechanical experience, some people like cars for the driving or styling. Ed is the latter.
Ed wearing a budget hazmat suit paired with green driving loafers is the energy we're all here for.
That car is going to look MEAN once cleaned up. Great find!
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
Good lord that SV when moving is just unreal.
Ya know Ed.. the sockless penny loafers really defeats the purpose of the hazmat suit 😂
I’m fortunate enough to own an 05 GT. How someone could manage to do this will confuse me forever.
Just a half a million dollar car, no biggie, it chills out back with the 99 Sentra.
@@tiko4621they weren't always half a million dollars. These dipped pretty low for a while. The guy probably was holding on to it thinking it would go up. Then life happens I bet he was older and eventually it no longer was a priority. I imagine this was part of an estate.
Did it look like he was trying to drive up the hill in 3rd to you as well? Having driven a couple of these myself it's pretty easy to mistake 3rd for 1st if you aren't used to it.
I assume this is a dead man’s car.
@@tiko4621 You could briefly get them for under 100k and based on the timeframe of this car, I assume the owner got it cheap and parked it after the 08/09 market crash.
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
The singing judge lol!
Been waiting for this video to drop since all the post online, so much hype around this car. Can’t wait for Ed to find a barn find Bugatti… !
I like how you talk about hoarders when Ed Bolian is doing the same thing with supercars
Ed takes care of his cars and regularly drives them.
@@bwofficial1776 and that makes a difference how?
@@bwofficial1776 Like changing the fluids before starting a car that hasn't moved for 15 years...
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
Hopefully the fuel injectors are pulled-cleaned- flow tested.
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.
I don't think the haz mat suits were really nessessary there polly prissy pants hahaha
Crazy to think of a car from the early 2000s as being a barn find.
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
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
VGG would be saying hold my wobble pop
For sure man!
The fact that it started is a great example of why thats my favorite car or all time. It just wont die!
Man why does Ed always wear those damn shoes
this was wicked fun! you 2 dubbahs make a good team! Thanks Ed
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?
Im sure they did a lot off camera
Man, I would not have started that car like you guys did!
I definitely would have checked oil, spark plugs, gas quality, & cylinder insides first.
The Mold Gt
Can we get the inside scoop on how this Ford GT has been left sitting for so long? If it's been sitting for 15, even 10 years, it was basically a new car when it was left to rot. I'm assuming it has a sad story behind it.
Those shoes don't exactly go well with PPE.
I love the full hazmat suit paired with the loafers. Always a classy gentleman
No way in hell that car started with 10-15 year old gas.
Yes, it is very possible. Especially higher octane or non ethanol fuel. Not a problem. Do it all the time with vehicles I’ve impounded.
@@austinchandler1289yeah I’ve done it also
Why
10-15 year old gas is still good gas, gas from 7 years to now is what's going bad and clogging up injectors now with all the blends of chemicals and ethanol they put in it now
sounded like 10 yr old gas
I was doing pretty well in business in 05.
Drove by the local Ford dealer and saw the GT. Went in and said I wanted to buy it….
Already sold, damn.
Several years later I’m working on a good friends fathers home in a very ritzy neighborhood. In the garage was the GT I saw several yrs earlier. My friend says his Mother bought the GT for her husbands birthday.
Car is still in the family.
Yikes i would not have started it without pre lubing the cylinder bores
That tells me you know nothing about cars 😂😂😂😂
@@HrisJenkins Kind words, thank you
Same here, bone dry
@V10ViperSRT that's the problem with our society nowadays everyone has to comment, but people will listen to your dumb advice and run with it. Instead of knowing the truth and reality lol
@paulsimonsson 1 second after that motor turns there's oil hitting every orifice it's made to lol 😆 God didn't give everyone a working brain
Looking forward to additional videos on this GT!
This is the best Vinwiki video all year, easily.
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!
kinda cringed that they didnt check any of the fluids at all when they said its been sitting for 10 + years. sick it works but that's a risky move
The hazmat suit and loafer combo is crazy🤣
The LAST thing I would have done with a car of that caliber would be to start it and try to drive it out. Very poor decision IMHO. Were not talking about a 2k Honda that's been sitting for years.
No were talking about a ford 5.4 truck engine basically
@thekernel69 Yeah, no shit but it's irrelevant the kind of engine it is when you're talking about a low mile, supercar that's not been started in 10 to 15 years. The fuel is bad, the plugs likely no good, and the oil needs to be replaced just for starters. An old farm truck? Yeah, start it, put it on the chip. Who cares?!?! A half a million dollar super car? Don't risk it. Do it right.
@@BrianGib85 "Don't risk it, do it right"
It's already being "done right". This car is going to go through a full restoration, briefly starting it like this doesn't matter in the long run.
I like the fact the lambo is basically the same color as the Home Depot sign
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.
All decked out in the latest safety attire, head to ankles.
That has not been setting for 10 years.
Yeah it’s been sitting for 15
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.
I don’t doubt DC MotorWorks or GlossIts abilities to restore the car, but wouldn’t going directly to Ford be the better option? They’d be able to restore it much better since they would have access to any leftover parts and would have direct access to the blueprints
Turquoise loafers with no socks! Sooo boujee!!
