"Never buy a car You cant push..." - Ancient CarGuy proverb xD

I got my license in 1976. My dad drove a 66 Mustang with a 289 4bbl and a four-speed, and my Grandfather drove a 1970 Chevelle with a 350 4bbl auto. I loved driving the Mustang but never got permission to drive the Chevelle. These old Stangs bring me back to my younger days, wrenching with my Grandfather and Dad every Saturday and Sunday. I miss the cars but I miss the guys who taught me how to work on my own the most. It's great to see these on your channel.

My high school car sat for 35 yrs as a basket case. I kept saying I will get to it one day. So glad my wife said. Fix it or sell it. All done in my garage by me. Interior still needs work but it is licensed and inspected and we drive it. So glad I kept it and even more happy my wife let me spend a ton of money on getting it running.

Hey editor Dwayne next time Jarrod is doing a time-lapse you should stitch all his grunts and groans together as his background music

Not even gonna mention the mouse carcass in the back window at the 44:18 mark? 😮

I had a 1969 Mustang with a 351W, bought it in high school and LOVED it! I was fixing it up and at 17 I joined the Army in 1998, I was sent overseas so i sent all my money home to have the motor built professionally. I got home and found that my ex-stepfather forged my name and sold it. I have always wanted another 1965-1972 Mustang but with all the time I spent back and forth overseas, getting married and having 4 kids (20 years, our only marriage and our kids are with each other), I have never been able to find one within the budget, now that I recently got out of the Army (i finished 21 years), the prices are too high to justify. One day after the kids have all moved out and college is paid for maybe but until then i have to live vicariously through these videos :D

This video, out of all the car channels I follow, just made the magic moment happen every car dad wants to hear: "Hey dad, can we get a car like that and fix it together?" Thank you Jarrod, you just made my whole year.

Somehow I managed not to comment until the end of the video. This video has been truly inspirational for people who like work on their own cars and hopefully find an old one to fix. The detailed explanation is something that sometimes lacks in videos but this knocks out of the park. All I can say this is an awesome video and I'm looking forward to more. Outstanding job!!!

I just went through a fight with the brake drums on the 1954 m38a1 jeep willys i bought last month. The front drums were rolling, but the rears were not, partially because the eccentric bolts for adjusting the shoes being 70 yrs. old were no good. I ended up taking the wheel cylinders bolts off, and then pushing the drum far enough back to pull the wheel cylinders out, and then the shoes came off the anchor and i got the drum off. The drums and shoes were the originals, which shocked me, but explained the trouble getting them off, plus the drum couldn't be pulled because it sits inside the backing plate about a quarter inch or more. Thankfully this jeep had only been parked since 2017, because an older guy owned it and couldn't get in an out of it anymore. The other thing that helped me, was that it was never road titled, and was just driven on his Northern Michigan summer property, or it would have been a rust belt donor jeep I bought the rig from his daughter, and he bought it in the late 70's or 80's from the government. I'm disabled, have progressive MS, causing muscle wasting, and my dr. told me i needed to keep moving so that i don't end up in a wheelchair. I have some other thing's messing me up, but i do as much as i can. I like the variety of project's you do, and love the questionable choices you make, great content. I would have liked to have seen that 68 mustang get worked on, but I'm not a ford nut, so it's fine. I don't have any family to talk about my car's with, or any car's, so I guess watching you, and some of the other enthusiasts helps keep me in the community. G-d bless.

Fun Fact: Like a lot of things in life, Slime originally started out life being originally designed for military use, but it eventually worked it's way into the civilian market. tl;dr = A flat tire is the last thing you need to worry about in an active combat zone!

2:10 in, also in 1968 they started the cursive Mustang on the sides. :p I used to know absolutely every difference from "64.5" to 1970. Theres sooo many endless tiny details that made each mustang different back then.

This episode really brought back a ton of memories for me. In the late 80's my brother and I found a '67 Mustang coupe very much like the one in this video. Ours was red, had the same interior and 289 engine, and was parked in an old shed buried in dust. We brought it home and completely restored it over a period of about three years. We had to sell it shortly after it was done due to needing cash and we regret that decision to this day. I saw it at a car show a couple years ago, the new owner has looked after it very well over the years which is great to know but my brother and I have never fully got over the fact that we let this car get away after we restored it. I have since had a '71 Mach 1, an '80 GT and an "86 LX with the 5 liter but none of those can compare to that '67 that we restored back in the day. My uncle also had a '68, much like the other car in this video, that he hot-rodded back when I was a kid which is why I fell in love with Mustangs in the first place. So this video brought back all those old memories for me, oh well! lol Now I just have to get me another Mustang! :-)

You're after my heart here. I own a 67 mustang, coupe. It was a 289 2 barrel car originally, too. The 67 in this video is highly optioned, deluxe interior, a/c. I've never seen the overhead console before. Those louvers on the quarter panel are metal, not plastic. Like you said, Mustangs are great because you can pretty much get any part for them you need. Thanks for the great video, as always!

Jared, thank you for this mini-resto video (and all your work)! I'm not even into Mustangs, but your enthusiasm and real-world approach to show the warts and all of the process, helped get me out of my funk on my own restoration project. Thanks!

Awesome double revival! Very impressive, even if it's just a lot of work put in on the basics. I bet a lot of people would never believe they would both run and drive without an engine rebuild.

The word 'iconic' is overused, but my god, these cars are beautiful, even covered in mud and dirt.

Ol' red had go fast stripes at one point! Cool!

My first car in 1981 was a 64 1/2 Mustang when it wasn’t a classic, it was a used car and dirt cheap. $ 2000 with a new paint job. Love and never forget your first. The 289/302 are bulletproof and they are hard to kill and the C4 trannies are tough as nails.
