Ya know a lot of car channel vids this long are 20% interesting content, 80% filler n fluff. Yours is 100% interesting: Straightforward, nice editing, learning a lot, good stuff
When you were under the car you talked about how "honest" the car was. That's the way I feel about your channel. Always seems like honest, down to earth content. Thanks for that. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wonderful how simple cars were in those days . A pleasure to work on . So user friendly . Modern cars are a nightmare . I am in the UK and retired now . I have owned and restored many old British cars . They had real character but the American cars had such style . Pieces of art . Such things will never be made again sadly . My daily driver is an old Granada . Owned it many years and in spite of my 82 years I still maintain it . Only just found your channel . I love it . You guys are amazing and remind me of myself in past times . Best wishes from a petrol head old timer ...
I just sat down with my lunch. Facebook said your video was on. Not a huge fan of the Mustang. But I gotta say, I did enjoy watching it. That car cleaned up nicely. Gotta say one thing though. Living in Germany for so many years. First thing I do, before I even start...I wash everything. Must be a German Schultz thing. And the Bluegrass music makes me smile. Whoever buys this car will be a happy camper. Keep up the great work. Rob, Cairns, "finally open again" Queensland...Australia
What a pleasure to watch you guys on the rebuild!!! Mustang is my favorite car, always has been but never owned one. At 76 now, you never know, I can still dream!
That's exactly what Iacoca showed to ol' Shelby, baby blue and all, and told, not ask, to make a race car out of it. Carrol was pissed off but had no choice ! He called it a darn secretary car. He was right ! The rest is history. 😊
Wow, just started watching your channel a week ago. Y’all mentioned Jason in Liberty, I know him from the gym and his shop. It made me realize that you must be close to me in Pickens, SC. I really appreciate what y’all are doing and hope that someday I might meet you and your dad.
My first car was a used 1964 1/2 Mustang. Light blue, 6 cyl 170 engine and a 3 spd transmission. This definitely brought back memories. Drove it to my senior prom. I'm not into the muscle cars, but have a soft spot for the early Mustangs.
Yep, a car is original only once ! Incredible condition especially sitting in that damp basement ! I expected it to be all rotten underside. But no ! Wow !
Boy does that Mustang bring back memories. I had a 66 that was turquois with Pony interior. The 200 engine was very reliable and had decent power for it's size.
Love your old school manuel tire machine , the one i used back in the 70s at the first tire shop i worked at had the top hold down and a long bar one end to remove and one end with the curve to install back on the wheel , that was what i used in Cragers to keep from braking the centers out . Ask me how i know !! Lol
Love them classic mustangs!!! That old blue just so nice, hopefully one day I can own one myself. Ya'll guys are awesome, being father & son deal makes it so much better. Love & respect to ya'll both.
Excellent video, enjoyed it. I have a 68 Mustang I bought in 1977. Lifelong Southern California car. 289, automatic, factory AC, power steering, and MANUAL BRAKES!! Weird . Has the optional hood with the turn signal lights in it. In Excellent condition both mechanically and physically inside and out. I love this car, so many memories, I was 18 when I got it, im 62 now!! For some strange reason the guy looking back at me in the rear view mirror, doesn't look alot like the the same guy 45 years ago.....guess the mirror has gone bad.....😊
This is a fantastic survivor! I'm glad you got it while still in such good condition and are keeping it period correct. The new owner will be very happy.
My first car was a 289 HP 66 Mustang with spinners this color GT package. Even had AC. She was very fast and responsive. Duels slotted exhaust out rear pan below bumper. I didn't like the tail lights are the fuel cap. I had plans for that, I wanted the fuel cap in trunk like VW. And flush tail lights. I also had fog lights and Porsche head screens, the floor shift counsel rattled, that sucked. I had sitting very low and weight in trunk for better traction. They slide pretty easy. Had to have winter tires for snow. Summer tire were Goodyear wide ovals with mug hubcaps with sinners. Boy I miss that baby. I'm 72 and that was long ago.
Me and my sons did this. Up here in New Jersey. Now they do with their boys. Best part with own a scrape yard. Now in our collection is about 50 cars and trucks
Great videos on this pretty Mustang. I owned the same thing as 2+2 myself in 1973. Not fast and will never get 30mpg. But it's solid American automotive simplicity; basic maintenance anyone can do! No expensive trips to the mechanic. With good upkeep, this car will provide someone many more years of service. I wonder how that engine would perform with a Weber progressive 2bbl? There used to be intake-mod manifolds that would allow the outer cylinders to get the same intake flow as the inners. Also, some builders like to place a metal or asbestos plate between the intake and the exhaust manifolds -- so the carb and intake don't get hot from the exhaust manifold below.
I know it's your car, and you can do whatever you feel necessary. But if it were me I would consider that mustang as a permanent member of your channel and your family. -Best regards !
The mice have been enjoying it for 21 years lol. I am glad it is among us again ! Congrats ! Ya need to think about your lungs when cleaning out mice mess , dust etc..... Thanks
Congratulations on finding and obtaining a piece of automotive history. I applaud you on keeping it original to pass it on intact to the next owner. The only thing I would question is the replacement of the single bowl master cylinder. I bought a used Mustang similar to the one you have. I left the dealer on my way to work in Richmond when the right front wheel cylinder blew out, leaving me with no brakes at all. I was able to safely come to a stop using the emergency brakes and have the car towed back to the dealer for repairs. Since that time I have been skeptical of single bowl master cylinders. When I could, I converted that single bowl to a dual bowl master cylinder for safeties sake and piece of mind. This is not meant as a criticism, just an observation from my personal experience. Thank you for saving this car.
my Girlified and and I had this exact 1965 Mustang in 1966 and 1967. We used to cruise the strip with it in San Leanrdro CA back then. I always thought it was a V8 untill one night we stopped for gas and I saw it was a six cylinder. I was amazed. It was fast for its day
Use the sacrificial drill bit method to remove the leaf spring bushings and eliminate that press and the associated heavy awkward lifting.. That saved me a ton of headaches with doing jeep restorations. zips them right out and if theres a sleeve I just use a air chisel and cut a line down them where the eye loop and spring flat meet. Collapses them and they fall right out. Your young back will thank ya later!
Very envious of how easily this car is coming a part, over in the UK the nuts would be all rusted up and the only time its easy is when it comes off with a large piece of the bodyshell thats rotted off still attached 🤣
I modded my white 2012 MCA rear suspension. BMR springs 1.5 - KYB gas adjust - a Shelby rear strut brace in the trunk - and a strut brace in the engine bay. The rear end is now predictable. It’s cheap pony fun. I love mustangs. 😊

Miles of smiles with that old girl. Especially with the manual trans.
She's a great looking survivor. Definitely worth keeping and enjoying.
that light blue in the grey of the winter/fall weather really pops.
She's a beauty! Nice work boys!
What a pleasure to watch you guys on the rebuild!!! Mustang is my favorite car, always has been but never owned one. At 76 now, you never know, I can still dream!
That car is a real treasure.
Amazing how quickly and on budget you can get a car back on the road!
That's exactly what Iacoca showed to ol' Shelby, baby blue and all, and told, not ask, to make a race car out of it. Carrol was pissed off but had no choice !
He called it a darn secretary car. He was right !
The rest is history. 😊
Great find & mobilisation of an awesome little car. It'll make a lot more smiles on dials now it's out from under that house. Well done!
A real nice '66 Mustang! You guys should keep it, you had smiles on your faces.
I hope whoever buys that car keeps it original. It’s so cool the way it is.
In a world of resto-modded fastbacks, the contrarian in me wants a baby blue 6 cyl coupe with hubcaps. 👍
Whenever I hear replace the originals with coil overs, I lose interest in the video.
Oddly I feel Thankful you did this for this Mustang, Thank You
One of my two favorite cars… the 911 being the other… i’m really going to enjoy this rebuild.
Nice job! Jonesing for an updated Porsche video!
Wow, just started watching your channel a week ago. Y’all mentioned Jason in Liberty, I know him from the gym and his shop. It made me realize that you must be close to me in Pickens, SC. I really appreciate what y’all are doing and hope that someday I might meet you and your dad.

Mine a 1964 1/2, 200 cubic inch with auto transmission. Custom painted red with black top. Not the original color.
Great job on the repairs. She is an amazing car. In great condition.Good luck with it.
Hi
Help me
Job me
What a little gem ! I love this basic Stang , it’s a time capsule of a whole new era of cars , hop it’s left original as can be.
Yep, a car is original only once ! Incredible condition especially sitting in that damp basement ! I expected it to be all rotten underside. But no ! Wow !
Boy does that Mustang bring back memories. I had a 66 that was turquois with Pony interior. The 200 engine was very reliable and had decent power for it's size.
My aunt had that car the first production in 66 in red. I loved that car. She kept it 3 or 4 years and traded it in.
Love your old school manuel tire machine , the one i used back in the 70s at the first tire shop i worked at had the top hold down and a long bar one end to remove and one end with the curve to install back on the wheel , that was what i used in Cragers to keep from braking the centers out . Ask me how i know !! Lol
That's a keeper.
Maybe one day I'll be lucky to have one not rusted out.
Awesome, brings me right back to 16 years old, riding with my Brother, love you’re not doing a restoration, just preserving her, thanks.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to " all " .
Back in the 70's my friend had a 65 convertible the same color it had a white top, what a great little car that was!
Love them classic mustangs!!! That old blue just so nice, hopefully one day I can own one myself. Ya'll guys are awesome, being father & son deal makes it so much better. Love & respect to ya'll both.
Great little survivor, came out very clean 👌🏻. Glad to see you guys suffer with potholes just as much as us 😂
Awesome Job.............She looks like she did in the 60's again
Great find! Never seen one in that color.
Enjoyed your video, you remind me of myself..very thorough and meticulous when working on vehicles..

Sounds amazing Bryan! Have any pics u can share? I love this color in a GT …wow
@@melvinsmiley5295 No wish I did, last I saw her she was locked up in a garage.
Me and my sons did this. Up here in New Jersey. Now they do with their boys. Best part with own a scrape yard. Now in our collection is about 50 cars and trucks
I always look forward to your videos. My mom bought a ‘68 Mustang that she misses to this day. Thank you for bringing this one back.
Love that mustang! Those are wire wheel covers. Hub caps are small covers for just the hub of the wheel. Baby moons were popular back in the day
Great videos on this pretty Mustang. I owned the same thing as 2+2 myself in 1973. Not fast and will never get 30mpg. But it's solid American automotive simplicity; basic maintenance anyone can do! No expensive trips to the mechanic.

I know it’s gonna be a pain but u should totally clay bar that whole car it will really do wonders on that paint
I know it's your car, and you can do whatever you feel necessary. But if it were me I would consider that mustang as a permanent member of your channel and your family.
-Best regards !
I like that style of mustang
The mice have been enjoying it for 21 years lol. I am glad it is among us again ! Congrats ! Ya need to think about your lungs when cleaning out mice mess , dust etc..... Thanks
By far my favorite car on your channel so far, love the story on it
What a great survivor car. I would so like to find one of these tucked away in a garage near my house.
Nice rewarding job, another classic saved.
Nice....nice.....very nice Job

you are a very honest guy!
Super little car, enjoyed watching you revive it. Now to figure out how to make it mine!!!
my Girlified and and I had this exact 1965 Mustang in 1966 and 1967. We used to cruise the strip with it in San Leanrdro CA back then. I always thought it was a V8 untill one night we stopped for gas and I saw it was a six cylinder. I was amazed. It was fast for its day
Love what you do michael keep it up!
i like that light blue color, in original its a shiny babyblue, gorgeous with those classic forms. it would like one in all electric drive.
Reminds me of being a kid in the 70s with these Mustangs parked in my old neighborhood. You guys did a nice job putting it back on the road.
God Bless
Wonderful restoration video
Great you’re keeping it all original
Great stuff! 👍
Awesome video thanks
That’s a great find!
This little Mustang suits Dad to a T. Maybe he keeps it for himself, nice! Thanks for the vids, great work!
You guys can do magic..... Awesome video once again.

You’re making me want to go snag that 72 Mach 1 that’s been in a dry building since the late 80’s.
I sure love that stang.
Loving this rebuild
Omg looks great
Would definitely like to see dry ice blasting underneath. Awesome build, as always!
Nice job. Well done
One of my all time favourite American automobile, the ineterior and exterior colour are gorgeous.
Incredible condition for age and seeing where it was laid up- great vid as always
Such a Beauty - Like what you Did With her. Such a Satisfying Video. Wish I could buy one. Guess its the Steve McQueen Effect(Bullit)
I love the mustang it's in very good shape
Hi bro from west Alabama peace and love
Hey man! 🙂 ✌️
Wow what a nice car! I would buy it if I was living near SC. Unfortunately a complete ocean departs us......... Greetings from the NL
Great video and beautiful Mustang!
Great job fellas!👍
What an awesome little car. So well preserved. Good job.
A good looking Ford Falcon .
No drama, all fun n good times.
Use the sacrificial drill bit method to remove the leaf spring bushings and eliminate that press and the associated heavy awkward lifting.. That saved me a ton of headaches with doing jeep restorations. zips them right out and if theres a sleeve I just use a air chisel and cut a line down them where the eye loop and spring flat meet. Collapses them and they fall right out. Your young back will thank ya later!
Nice clean basic mustang...enjoy
Beautiful car lovely period colour great fix again love the channel
Great looking car. Wise to do a PPI before buying it.
Very envious of how easily this car is coming a part, over in the UK the nuts would be all rusted up and the only time its easy is when it comes off with a large piece of the bodyshell thats rotted off still attached 🤣
Is it just me, or are your project cars getting better and better from the get-go? Great job!
I modded my white 2012 MCA rear suspension. BMR springs 1.5 - KYB gas adjust - a Shelby rear strut brace in the trunk - and a strut brace in the engine bay. The rear end is now predictable. It’s cheap pony fun. I love mustangs. 😊
Good work men. Now go and celebrate.
That’s going to tidy up into a nice wee car.
I love these cars in the stock version
Truly enjoyed watching your video bringing back to life this awesome Mustang. That's definitively a very good restoration project.
That was great.

My first car was a 64 and a half with a 260 V8 engine what a great little car.
Quite rare, the 260ci Mustang
