- I came across this old mustang a couple weeks ago and decided to see if we could rescue it from this cow field. Come along as I fight off the cows and donkeys while I try to get this thing running!!

Why is it so satisfying to see a car that has been sitting so long being resurrected and driven home with a couple of days work? Love this type of content!
WOW !!! Looks like the Holy Grail: 351C !!!!!!!!! ... And body in amazingly good condition... good engine... good tranny... no posi but guess can't expect everything...
Because it's bringing something "back to life".
this is why watch these videos
🙂
I know right!!
I'm 73 y/o. I was 23 in 1973 and bought a Mach I. Waited six weeks for it to arrive from the factory, since the assembly line was on strike. It was magnificent !!!
Some guy in the next town over has a burgundy and black Mach One for his daily driver at least part of the year. I used to see him drive past in the morning when I dropped my daughter off at school.
My 1st car was a 73 Mach II. I saved $500, making $4.25 an hour at Publix & bought it. I wish I had a picture of it. Watching your video sure brought me back to 1996 when I was 16 & in that car. I could've used a good ol "carboroster" cleaning, too! Lol 😆 thanks for making a great video, sir.
@@franceliakarle_1 Retired, single, in good health and happy.
@@bentnickel7487 nice lie 🦦
Even if this was a true story, you should've known better than to buy a 1973 even at 23 years old at the time
Those cows have been looking at that car sit for generations, they probably have legends about it.
And to see it gone is a monumental event for them
Nah. They more enjoyed the trees around it that gave them a way to use trunks as scratch posts. The car simply served as support to prevent the the trees leaning back against the load of the cows brushing up against them
@@DivinityIsPuritythat's why no other trees survived that weren't right next to it
Bro, your pfp.🤣
@@DivinityIsPurity Thank you for taking it literal and ruining the vibe. Big ups.
This guy is amazing. Not only can he repair a car on site but he's got a herd of pesky cows to deal with. He deserves a medal!
Herd of pesky cows lol
Git on now!
Cows were cute though... It gives uniqueness to the video.
Melhor que um rebanho de pessoas que nem você 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cattle are so friendly and nosey! Ours were like that. 😂
I had never expected that car would actually be driven away from that spot under it's own power.
Very impressive 😄
@@franceliakarle_1 Pretty good actually 😁 You ?
OMG that was my fathers car he traded back in 95. He sat here with me and told me all the stories about this car and we teared up a little. This was incredible to see, I'd never thought something like this would happen.
Interesting. Would love to hear the stories he told.
That’s awesome dude it’s in good hands now lol this guy is awesome and def knows his stuff
sure it is
Sharing is caring, its been a month, whats the stories lol
where them stories at
Having the friendly cows and the donkeys added with your humor makes this a classic revival. Absolutely loved it. Want to see more. Great work!
@O.G Autistler edgy hitler kid isnt satisfied with something (shocker) 😂
A ford, yes please
Also that engine is a 351 cleveland. It had 8 valve cover bolts and the radiator hose comes out of the block and not the intake manifold like a 351w and 302
I was going to say that. You beat me by 8 minutes!
I thought so that valve cover definitely didn't look like sbf
2V or 2 barrel Cleveland. Most 71-73 Mustangs came with either a 302 or 2V 351 Cleveland. I don't think Windsors were even offered, and there weren't a lot of 6 cylinders either.
That 2V motor is a good motor.
@@Stucifer I once owned a '73 Mustang Grande Q code 351 Cleveland 4 barrel. It was a screamer.
2 bbl. 351C heads better for street use... 4 bbl. heads had horribly shaped ports...
Just goes to show how well made cars were back then. Sat in a field for 30 YEARS without even being touched, and with just a little TLC back on the road. Love to see it!
Something SUVs, lifted trucks and egg sedans can’t do they sat they will sat dead
A Tesla could do that no probs
@@nnaheim. nice bait
@@nnaheim. Unfortunately that's likely not true due to corrosion alone. You would have to somehow prepare for that, if you planned on leaving it 30 years.
Except if you had one in the north that would rust from road salt in under 5 years like my dad's did.
I'm a Chevy and a Dodge person myself but it doesn't matter what it is to see somebody rescue something that's been sitting that long more power to you plus the fact that you live down in the South makes all the difference in the world I'm up here in the North where we get snow and salt and rust a car like that sitting up here for 30 years you'd been better off just hauling it straight to the scrap yard love the content keep it up
Chevy & Dodge for me too! But I'll take a Mercedes... 😊🤗
@@SOULRELIEF22 Mercedes don't hold value they r nice cars but I can buy a used one cheap
Chevys rust to
I live in northern Indiana and you are correct, cars just don't sit outside for long up here, they just disintegrate.
@@spaceghost8995 I own a 2003 f150 Harley Davidson edition super crew love it just had it repainted last year love it
The way the trees grew around, pretty wild. I would have left the two largest ones. A pretty cool find. All the car vids I watch and just found yours, subscribed right off.
I would’ve left it wth
Can’t believe he cut the perfect parking spot for shade
I got so sad at that part still cool find tho
It was art and this guy destroyed it.
It was art and this guy destroyed it.
@@reggienhappiness8851 He said it was cherry trees, which leaves are poisonous to cows, which is why he cut them down for the farmer, I think keeping your animals alive vs "art" is a tad more important.
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. It's not often I can watch a video of this length without getting bored, but I just did. Wishing you all the best, dude.
Preshate it.
Awesome job bud!!! Can’t keep an old Ford down!!!
Watching those cows brought back memories my mom had 4 cows for pets they were free range in our yard, those walking steaks got into everything but she loved them
Yeah, kind of wondered why he keeps telling them to get away. It's THEIR pasture! He's lucky that bull/ steer didn't tell HIM to get.😀
@@bookooc5605 most not all but most of the bull I've dealt with are big softies they are big and intimidating but they are just big babies
thats what you got out of the video?cows?lol
Free range cows. Nobody has free range cows.
@@Dougarrowhead he said 'in our yard' that means the cows could go anywhere on their property but not to the neighbours . which is stil a bit silly of course, you don;t want cows to eat your garden or to poop all over your terrrace
I wish I had someone to help my rebuild my truck so I can get my daughter back in forth to her deaf& blind school.
That's insane. I'd give a lot to know the rest of the story on that car. I can't see that sticker clearly on the back but I think it says Tyner Auto Sales in Moorhead, MS. Moorhead is on U.S. 82 which does indeed lead into TX. 30 years ago those were cheap used cars...maybe they traded their way across the country.
Like to find a car that valuable in that good of condition!
@@BuzzLOLOL that things not very valuable lol.
@@dtoy1809 - Vastly better condition than old vehicles we find here up north to start with...
@@BuzzLOLOL yeah it's got decent bones but I'm saying 73 is not that desirable of a year so I'd hardly call it valuable
Pretty cool find. can't believe it started right up from sitting 30 years can't wait to see more of this mustang 😁😁😍
Old ford 30+ hahahaa a engine go brbrbrbrb vrooom 2006--2022
Engine broke filters block up rusted to kingdom fuck
Hi. how are you doing today.?
Hands down a TRUE will it start/drive home video with an actual car that sat for years. Not a staged BS deal like so many others we see here on YT. Excellent video! The cows helped too…
Congrats on the million views, it sure feels great doesn't it? Well deserved and all your hard work is starting to pay off.
Now 4 million!
That was a fine rescue job. Maybe just putting tires on it and dragging it out 20 feet before working on it would have been a good plan. You were so exciting that you made the cows' and donkeys' days so interesting! Thanks for bringing us along.
Yup those trees didn’t have to die.
No man why why did you cut downs those trees 😢man i love these trees feels like a island of small trees and gives shade too 😢 and how they surrounded the tree is very cool
Awsome..would love to see that one tidyed up and back on road
Hi. how are you doing today.?
Remember the days when cars were all mechanical and fun to work on? This really takes me back. I can almost smell it when you opened the door. Lol.. So glad I watched this. Very fun and entertaining.
I watched this yesterday. Sunday morning, while having breakfast. Man.... did I enjoy this one. Your skills, your humour, the scenery and of course the moos and donkeys made not only my morning but the whole day. All the best from The Hague, Netherlands. 🐮
Hello Netherlands!! 👍👍
Hey Chad, you seem to come up with classic iron everywhere. Well done and good work again.
I love how even though those animals were being a pain you never once lost your patience and yelled or did anything mean. Even while working on a old car(frustrating working it's self) you treated them with kindness and alot of things my granddad said to animals that I still don't understand to this day...thank you.
I love how cows are naturally curious though, they take a great deal of interest in their surroundings and anything out of the ordinary has them fascinated, very sweet!
I was ready to put a ring on him by the end of this video 💖💍
Hello, how are you doing today.?
you stand in a paddock for 60 days .... and not be interested in a guy playing with that thing that was in the trees .... lol
@@franceliakarle_1 ,,,
I'm fine,Francelia, hopefully by the Grace of Almighty God you are in good Health,,Lots of Love from Malaysia Dear Friend 😊🌹🌹
Thats my father’s car when he waited for my mom to get dressed for a dinner night and ended up this
Very cool video Chad 👍 first time I've seen anybody surrounded by cows while getting a car running once again 😂 considering how long it's been sitting it sounds okay. Thanks for a great video dude 👍✌️🇺🇲
I'm not a Ford guy but that's damn impressive!! Well done!
When it drives off it's like a scene from the game "MotorStorm: Pacific Rift" ..
Shabby as hell but ready to race!.
A solid ford and does a burnout after 30 years.. she aint pretty but she does just alright :)
with all that gasoline in the oil , that cannot be good for the engine.
I feel like barn finds are never ending. Right now there’s a car probably being parked for the last time it’ll move in decades
You wouldn't be able to do that with a new car.
Love the old stuff
I love seeing these old cars rescued
Maybe change the oil first next time… 😮
`until next time , go do something' - love that ! you , sir , are amazing - here in the UK , any car sat in a field for 30 years would have disolved into the ground , to see that run and drive was just amazing - thank you !
Preshate that! 👍
Actually the trees would have swallowed the whole place
@@Fredrick422 not if it was an active farm field... the farm machinery prevents that, these trees only got the chance because they were 10 cm from the car
Etha n
Bro I'm upset at you you forgot to say timber
Awesome video! Cool to see a old Cleveland engine come back to life.
You Sir are indeed an overcomer!! As a Ford man and a Mustang lover I 🫡 you! Amazing work and well documented.
I'm no car mechanic but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this beauty get going again. Absolutely well done 👊 The accent is mega and the area you live pretty darn nice too. Best regards from the Uk
Hello UK! 👍
Love seeing Fords rescued, especially Mustangs!
Well done for getting the car going and for giving me a good laugh while you get harrassed by the assorted wildlife!
I grew a front shirt pocket filled with Marlboro reds and a mullet watching this video.
You never disappoint. Didn't know a person could move that quick just for a few bees. HAHA Love your videos keep them coming. This one should be a shirt , car and cow both on one for the Moostang.
If fuel in oil might be fuel pump diagram leaking into engine
Hello from Germany. Seeing this gorgeous car brought back to life is amazing! You have humor and the expertise many people miss nowadays. Thanks for the great video ❤
No registration or insurance?
Wow it warmed my heart to see it drive, no modern car sitting for 30yrs would ever be in such a good shape. Goes to show everything was made to last back then.
They don't make them like they used to😂
I've revived a few efi vehicles from 15-20+ years of sitting. Sensors and whatnot don't really go bad from sitting as long as the hood has been shut from the elements. As long as rodents haven't gone crazy they'll usually fire right up. Almost guaranteed the fuel pump is dead and tank is rusty, but that's typical.
In my state cars dont rust or fall apart so i bet you could do it with a modern car.
what you talking about? a modern car would be just the same condition this is if it sat for 30yrs and take the same effort to start it.
@@darkshadowsx5949 Modern cars wouldnt rust as much better coatings and etc, but I can tell you that with how many computer chips are needed to start a modern car good luck lol. my car would not start solely because I know that it would neeed about 10 computer modules if it sat for 30 years and they wouldnt be around anymore and the car will die solely due to parts.
Another awesome video chad. Love to see old cars and trucks saved and back to life
I got the mustang home, but also got hantavirus.
A joy to watch this thx for posting...amazing ya got that to its new home. Subscribed.
You need to fix that one. Who would not love to have a 73 stang
Bro the moo cow just wanted some loving
Greetings from texas, i have always enjoyed your videos, and your knowledge that you share, thank you.👍👍👍
Ahhhhhhh! WHATS IN THE TRUNK??? The two Texans???😬😬😬 lol
Great video sir
🤷♂️
We are going to make you a Ford man yet. Laughed watching you fight those moo cows and wasp great content love the videos keep them coming ....
I'll never be a ford man!
Looks like 351 Cleveland bc water neck coming from the block. 302 comes from intake manifold
Right for you said I was thinking the same thing surprised at things that I'll smash and dent it up from cows rubbing on it. Because been there for a while the trees haven't been there forever but a little bit who knows they probably did help save it from the cows a little bit.
Just found this channel and really dig your format. No bullcrap, just honest rescues. Great.
Might be some cow crap and donkey crap though.
Awesome content! You’re voice is so calm and it’s enjoyable to listen! Keep up the videos
Think the tree cage saved it some, fab video as always.
so great to see that you revived that old stang . can't wait to see you do some more restoration.
La restauración de ese auto no vale los árboles que cortaste para sacarlo fuck !!!!
Now that's some quality work right there. After 30 years it works almost like new.
That is so awesome how you guys do these revivals. I really enjoyed this one too. Keep it up you are doing a great job!
Great video. You were so exciting that you made the cows' and donkeys' ( and wasp, lol ) a fun time. i am glad you saved the car. Thanks for bringing us along.
Is there a updated video on a restoration of this mustang?
It was sold.
I came here for the mustang but left smiling over the cows
Maybe that modulator vacum is not hooked up for the transmission ,usually gives a harsh bang into gear. It be a nice car fixxed up.
Yeah, those crap modulator hoses rotted off... even on my '78 Ford truck...

I live on an island near the ocean. cars rust out after 15 or 20 years here. its depressing knowing there are places where cares don't dissolve in a decade or two lol
Great video, brother. Like you say - wouldn't take much to make it a driver. Interesting car - 351 2V Cleveland, A/C, and factory gauges/tach; but manual drum brakes - weird. Hope to see more of the Moostang!
...30 years from now that tang will have trees around it again.....
Thats crazy it was just being surrounded by a wall of trees in an empty field lol
I don't believe it
Great job,
Cows were wondering where their shade trees went.
She’s licking the salt from your sweat on the handle of the hammer.
I absolutely love your content and your sense of humor. Keep them coming brother
Chad I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's a 351 Cleveland in that car. If the radiator return hose bolts down to the top of the block, that's what it is. If it bolts into the front of the intake, it's a 302 or 351 Windsor.
The only way to tell the difference between a 351 C or 302 C is to look at the crank shaft. they will be marked either 302 or 351. Also, Clevo's have that box shape on each tappet cover. Windsors had the symmetrical tappet covers ,almost the same from the early 60's.
302C is very rare and has narrower intake manifold... not likely one in here...
Looks like desirable 351C !!! Hose goes down into block... 2 bbl. heads more desirable for street use...
4 bbl. 351C heads had too large and horribly shaped ports...
We didn't have 302 Cleveland in the states only Aussies had the good stuff.
thanks for this hilarious video. i cant stop laughing thank the critters for me.
I love these abandoned car videos. This one is to the extreme. First of all because it's not a great year for Mustangs (2nd worst era imo), and secondly because this car is completely trashed. It barely even qualifies as a parts car. Once you cut those trees down and opened the doors I was like, forget it. This one is too far gone. When it wasn't seized and the starter worked...and then it RAN and I had to go change my shorts.
Hi. how are you doing today.?
Drives me NUTS that so many of you are finding all these cool cars in the oddest places. I wouldn't even have bothered trying to start it. I would have hauled it right into my shop lol
I would have hauled it to a scrap yard for the scrap metal price.
I'd have changed the battery oil cleaned the plugs, antifreeze pumped the tires then tried it myself. Am a woman and know that much ! GREAT JOB !! : )
Hi. how are you doing today..?
@@gelynch52phPH Sacrilege.
Southern genius at its best…Absolutely brilliant video! Go on now!
Them critters wouldn’t leave him be 😅
The rocker nuts will loosen up over time and cause a lifter tap sometimes. If you pull the valve covers while it is running and loosen each individual nut till it starts tapping, then tighten it 3/4 of a turn or until it stops tapping, you can fix it sometimes. If it keeps tapping even when fully tightened you can get a slightly longer push rod to compensate and fix the problem. Nice car. That's the grande model. I have a 72 coupe with a 302.
I find it so satisfying to watch you 😉 and what you do. Just recently discovered you and I'm obsessed!!! I have always enjoyed seeing something a little seasoned, and age come back to life. I find the smell of fuel, exhaust, and sweat arousing. Keep on doing what you do and I'll keep on watching. Nothing like a man that knows his way around an engine. 😘
Damn rip off the panties already why don’t you, that comment was moist the entire way through.
I like the engine sound. Its soft actually..
The Moostang mooves out of the paddock, and avoids being put out to pasture, thanks to you !!
Hi. how are you doing today.?
Wow! Things like this always amaze me. It just proves that the auto mobile industry is going backwards. An it's all about draining our wallets by building vehicles with built in failure to make sure you have to constantly spend money. Vehicles should be 10x more dependable than they were, not the other way around. But here we are. Great video!
Hi. how are you doing today.?
Starting fluid will drop those wasps literally in mid flight.
Good aye from Australia. Loved watching your recovery video and seeing you drive through your home town (assuming in the State of Tennessee). Enjoyed this as much as l enjoy that fine whiskey of yours from Lynchburg. Am hoping to get to the States next year. All the very best for the future.
One of your best videos :)
When he set the dip stick in the dirt and dust and then stuck it back into the engine without wiping it off😩😩😩
thats not the most popular year of Mustang but with that 351 i bet it was good for letting smoke out of the rear tires and probably had a lot of top end speed
Hi. how are you doing today..?
Much respect. I’ve had an old 73 coupe since I was 17. I bought another one a couple years ago for parts and ended up keeping it. It had been parked in a field for only 3 years. Had to cut the drum off the back brake it was so seized up. Looking forward to getting it running soon.
the cows and donkeys are so cute. love that Mustang! great visitors! great vid!
Hi. how are you doing today.?
deserves a 100% original restoration!!!
Hi. how are you doing today.?
moo cow said what the heck are you doing in my moostang brotha???
That was great to watch! You had many curious Friends Out there! Then the pesky Wasps came at ya! Are you going to showcase more of this Moostang? Peace!
Hi, how are you doing today..?
