- I went to buy a Corvette parts car, AND three other cars came home with me! I dont believe I will be building this car BUT I figured I would show you guys a short video of it. How did I do with my first Mustang?

That mustang looks like a fun project
Do a "will it start" video on the mustang
Second that motion !!
@@novoiperkele Third that motion !!
Ben, to be honest, you could pick up a broken fridge off the side of the road and we'd be interested in a walkaround video about it
Would love to see a video on the truck and would love to see more of the 41 Chevy coupe too! Best to u and yours Ben!
I think the Mustang is a great find. I believe you would get tons of views on a series of videos getting it running, driving, and stopping before selling it on. M
Please do a video on the truck when you get it.I enjoy all your videos
I am a Pontiac/Chevy guy! Whether you love Fords or hate them, you CANNOT disparage an old Mustang! Or Thunderbird for that matter! You HAVE to restore that Mustang!
Actually I would be saying "FINALLY!!!! Ben bought a Ford!!!!" But that's me.
Definitely need a video on that F1 when you get it! I wonder in what kind of condition it is in. Mustang doesn't look gone either. I think it can be saved by the right person.
That car is far more complete than I was expecting. Nice score
I've never been interested much in Fords myself but the first couple years of the Mustang I have always found very attractive, especially the convertibles.
Yes, show the truck! Great comparison with the Cadillac!
Once the rust is dealt with, its all downhill from there. That would be a good intro car on the world of Mustangs.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos like the vettes of course but appreciate any take care
I’ve had 8 project mustangs. You can always get some joy from those cars. And, 289 is a really fun small block. Enjoy
Love all the old iron, they are all worth putting them back on the road.Those are way more interesting than the cookie cutter cars on the road today. Love your videos keep them coming.
Enjoyed this video. I love Mustangs and would like to see a video of the Ford pickup as well.
I guess a 65 Mustang as straight as that one will sell fast as heck. Old trucks are even cooler to me. Is there an engine in that old girl? Probably a flat head V8? A project video showing it starting would be excellent.
Not bad Ben...... I love it when they have a console option and V8.... power brake power steering and AC was also optional for that Mustang...... hope you got a good deal👍😎
Had one of those. Let me help you: get in, and get OUT as fast as you can. They have the same characteristics as a boat. BOAT being the acronym for Bring Out Another Thousand.
Lol, I'm shopping for a Corvette to restore if that's any indication! Run Ben runnnnn
Always more corvettes 🙂❤️✌️
Yes, please make a video on the Ford pickup! I come here mostly for the 60's and older stuff, I'm afraid the biggest part of your channel, the Vettes, just aren't my style. To each their own, though, and I always look forward to new videos from you!
Yes on the truck!
I pulled up to a light in my 74 Fury, stopping next to a Smart Car. The front of ours cars were even. I could lean back a bit from the drivers seat and read the cars rear licence plate. ☺️
Sweet project for someone to do. Yes show us round the truck too.
Nice project car that mustang can be a real show piece. With a little time ,and patience you could have a real gem. Love to have that Mustang for myself.. Currently completing a 1969 mustang . Have fun ,and enjoy those classics..
Mustang fan here sooo,,,, Good Job.
Just being honest. This is one of the 1st video's I've watched of yours in a long time. Why? MUSTANG!!
Give me the Cadillac !!! ❤️😎
I would love to see a video on the other cars as well. Cool purchase! Love those old Mustangs!
I think it'll run, Ben. Fire it up and drive it.
Great video I would love to see that ford pickup my grandpa had one just like it thank you for sharing
Nice brief overview, cool pony you have there. Would love to see the same on each of your new finds/rigs, keep it up man!
Gotta have a "Will it start" for each of them too!
Awww. I was hoping you would work on the Mustang. My first car was a 65 Mustang coupe I bought in 69. My second car was a 66 Mustang 2+2 fastback bought in 72. Oh well
.Can't wait for the F1 update. I really dig your channel.
Need to see the truck, i had one like it years ago, I put a chev 283 in it what a fun truck to drive.
You can make good money with that Mustang!
Yes, definitely do a video on the F1 truck, both these would be good candidates to do videos to see if you can get them running and driving. The only option I see on the Mustang is the floor console. It has the standard interior, looks like no power steering or brakes. Air conditioning would be about the only comfort option available in 65, no power windows, AM/FM, stuff like that was available. The rust you really need to worry about is the cowl. If you can spray a garden hose on the cowl and it leaks like niagra on the inside, the cowl is shot. That is a lot of work cutting out rust and welding new metal in. If anyone can do it though, you can.
Yes! Please do a video on the truck.
Would love a truck Vid.
My cousin had a 65 mustang and she got rear ended. It stayed in the shop for months and when she finally got it back she rear ended someone on the way home and totaled it. When she got home she found out that she had won a new Saturn in a contest she didn't even remember entering.
Ford truck is somewhere between '48-'50, '51-52 had different dash and bigger rear window, also they had same grilles both years with minor differences in trim,we had a '50 F-1 with the flathead six and three on the floor transmission, Grandpa bought it new and we kept it until '68 or '69
I love all of the old American cars and I wish I could afford to buy the stang and caddy.
Need much longer videos please. Will take anything but would like a 10-20 minute episode. Please go in depth on each.
Thanks for your free info, I'm new at cars, keep going 🙂
Nothing wrong with owning Fords. Quite happy with all mine.
It's an Elvis caddy, love the white walls
Yes would love to see more of the f1
NICE PICK UP OF VEHICLES. TAKE CARE.
That Stang looks pretty solid!
I would love to see the other cars
Great projects
Good job always enjoy your videos keep going!
Im not a ford person but mustangs are good cars
Ben,
I may have a buyer for the Mustang. She has one that is numbers matching that her late grandfather purchased new and it just got the back end crushed by a tree limb. It was previously in near showroom condition prior to the incident. She would really like to restore it and is having a hard time finding parts. I will refer her to this video so she can contact you. If you haven't sold or scrapped it yet, please hold onto it until she contacts you. Thanks very much.
Judging by the tinted glass in the windshield and rear window and the interior trim pattern, along with the V8, that one certainly had a few options on it and might actually be fairly close to a GT without actually being a GT. With the value of first gen Mustangs now, even a hardtop is well worth restoring and that one looks like a more than decent basis...
It's complete which helps a lot but you'd still have to spend your $$$ carefully
@@johnm6201 Absolutely, but it's a lot easier to spend a few hundred bucks at a time rather than forking out tens of thousands in one go to buy a supposedly restored car. Plus, if you do the work yourself, you know what you've got. A lot of vehicles sold as fully restored, especially in the US, turn out to be hiding an awful lot of sins under the shiny paint. The fact is,, if you're a private person restoring the car for yourself, you're never going to make money if you decide to sell it on as soon as it's finished. About the only way to do that is by being in the trade, which is why corners are often cut. But most home restorers don't do it for the money, they do it for the love of the vehicle, and they often tend to keep the results for a long time, by which time the value may have climbed to a point where it could represent a profit on what they've spent on the restoration...
I dig the Mustang.
Sure do love that Caddy. The general design of that particular car is just outstanding. Love the comparison! I didn't realize Mustangs were so much smaller compared to the cars that preceded them. Can't wait to see ANY vids you produce, Ben. Really enjoy it.
I watch your vids because I have a 74 corvette and a 58 Cadillac. I also have a 70 mustang! even more reason now to watch your channel. 1st gen mustangs are great, like corvettes, because nearly every part is available - used, new, or repro. The vin will tell you what engine it came with, most were T code (200ci 6) or C code (2barrel 289). The biggest problem on these is rusted out cowls as Ford did not apply any rustproofing. Anyway, it would be fun to see you work on it, but y'all got plenty o' projects
Love the new cars and the endless possibilities that they hold for Corvette Ben content! 🙌🏻😊
Looks good. I'll enjoy any video that you make. Thank you for doing so.
That looks like a pretty solid '65 Mustang really not too bad to get thrown in with the other cars. Yes a look at the '49 F1 would be good Cutworm59 just did a video on the '49 F1 Ford pick up he just bought a couple days ago. It would be fun to compare. He is talking about taking the '49 body off and put it on a running Ford Truck frame he has now.
Would like to see more of the Mustang & others
A video of the Ford F1 would be great. Thanks
My favorite colors white with red interior. Can't get that kinda cool anymore. Love the vids keep going.
Learned to drive on one of those old trucks. A 48 in my case. Flathead six with 3 on the floor. Would love to see the 41 Chevy !!
I’m a vintage car liker.
I am not a lug head, grease monkey or motorhead.
Maybe unfortunately. 💁🏼♂️💁🏼♂️💁🏼♂️
I just enjoy the cars and have certain makes and models I enjoy more. Mostly from family and personal experience with cars, and cars owned.
I appreciate seeing the other aspects of cars, amongst other things
But I really like your channel. That, you should know.
Awsome cars, V8 power🇺🇸🇺🇸😀😀
Bring on the Vette videos!
The 64 1/2 had a generator. That one has an alternator. If it was changed the idiot light would probably still say GEN instead of ALT.
A will it start video would be fun and it would help you sell it. (If it will run.)
Passenger floor pan rust-out is very common in the 1st Gen 'stangs. The scupper fills up with debris and then holds water and rusts through. You should make some money with the Mustang. The Corvette looks like its a basketcase.
The 'Vette is only a parts car, but it's probably still got a lot of decent stuff to donate to keep others going...
@@gosportjamie No doubt. Ben never buys anything just to buy it. Looked like a pretty rough specimen.
That Mustang has the short console so it may have had factory A/C! Early 65's had a 5 bolt bell housing...compared to later 65's and other SBFs which had 6. Fewer parts may interchange with the early block..
Love the mustang wish I had the money
The mustang is cool
Would love to see you at least get the Mustang running. Based on the Console if it is original to the car, the car had AC. The AC was an under the dash unit. I would not be surprised if that was not the original 289. Looks like the ignition has been upgraded.
Please do more content on the mustang!!!!
I'm guessing there is +/- 1.5" hole on the center tunnel just forward of where the console ends and a couple inches from the top. My wife's 65 Mustang coupe had that chopped off console because it was a factory AC car. The factory AC was an underdash unit with a Ford emblem on it. An AC line went out through the hole in the tunnel.
Mustangs are cool. You did great!
After market stuff 🙂
Would like to see the pickup truck and the trailer next to the mustang regards from denmark 😉
I've got a 65, and yours is decently optioned out. V8, center console, and extra trim to start, and that's only what I saw
Hey...mustangs are great....I’ve had a few GTs and just love them...not the latest ones mind you
I've had both and the latest ones are great cars. I have a basic 67 coupe and a 65 fastback with 289 4 speed That I bought 47 years ago for $250. I love the old ones for showing off at local car shows but for a road trip I'll take the 2007. I had a C4 Corvette. I didn't like it. A 57 Vette would be my dream Vette.
Mustang doesn't look too bad .If its factory 271 hp.its work good bit of money.
I'd like to see you try to start it myself.....not asking you to spend a pile on it....but you might even get more for it if it runs......C'mon man !
Any video you do will always be watched immediately!! And seeing the Caddy parked in a tree line is kind of scary. Please move it... QUICK! 😁 Will the Mustang run? Go ahead, spray something in the carb and give it a crank.
I'd love to see a video of the truck
Nifty
I bought a used 1967 Mustang in 1977 and it was a POS, it needed everything and it rode like a cross between a Falcon and a Maverick.
Please restore that mustang 🐎
I would like to see a video with the old F1 pickup.
Little piece of knowledge for ya Ben...... The flag sticker on the curbside of your Caddy is on the wrong side. That flag sticker should be on the street side of the car. Keep up the great videos. Love em
I hope the Cadillac went back into the garage.
'65 Mustang.....Now you're in my Territory..... I own two of them...A '65 and a '66 Convertible.... and I've owned many '65 and '66 Hardtops... It appears that the options on your Mustang that I can see are the Center Console, and the car was Originally a Factory A/C..because that Center Console is specifically an A/C Center console for Factory A/C. A Non-AC Car would have had a different type (much longer) center console. Tony K. :)
Yes, show us the truck when you get it home.
The caddy is a sweet ride but you should have no trouble flipping the mustang.
I enjoy your channel 😊 thanks for sharing 👍👍
Ford had a 260 in the Mustang in '64 . They dropped the 260 V8 in '65. A 289 means it's 65.
Love your stuff,more please!!
That 41 Chev looks cool, even in this state.
This 41 Chevy looks like a beautiful and extremely rough diamond. It is worth being saved one way or another. I do not know a lot about this vintage car. But is it possiblethat it might fit on a Corvette frame without to many adjustments?
Maybe you can make a profit with the Mustang. Mustangs are somehow the most overrated Sixties US cars. Although there are still masses of them around.
I'd love to see the Stang restored, but it looks a little rough. That old F1 would really be great.
