Questions?

How many of these cars in the river are stolen or auto insurance fraud?

In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we recover a '73 Ford Mustang Fastback after getting a call from a get-a-way driver from 20-years ago who said we are guaranteed to find a few vehicles in the river at the Tualatin Boat Ramp.

It appears he wasn't the only one to be involved in dumping cars underwater at this location here in Oregon.

Super stoked to have found a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 Fastback.

Crazy... RIGHT?

It took us 2-days to recover the Mustang.

A lot of you are going to be a bit upset at how destroyed the Mustang Mach 1 became after we tried removing it from the river.

In our defense, there was an extra 8000 pounds of mud inside the car, along with the Mustang being underwater in the river for over 40-years.

It really did become a rustang!

True crime for sure, be it stolen or auto insurance fraud.

Never seen anybody spend so much time and effort for one car recovery! Speaks of your commitment and how much fun you are having!

[sebkhailer]

Watching and listening to that car crunch and bend like that breaks my heart.

[ericswink]

I have been watching you guys for about six months now. It is absolutely great to see some people doing something good. The world could sure use some more of it. Keep up the great work and be safe guys.

[Stevie_B_]

It's so bizarre to think that there's so many vehicles in these waters. I just never knew. Interesting, very interesting. Good work guys, thanks for sharing. I love that you're helping mother nature.

Omg this is where doug bishop came from. I'm obviously late to the game but what y'all do is amazing. Thank you ❤❤❤

[kalmingkhaos]

I’ve had 2 identical mustang fast backs. Beautiful cars, one was stolen and totaled and the other was totaled from being hit while I was sitting at a stop sign off of a major highway. Glad you guys do what you do. Thank you

[pdub]

Clearly, these vehicles are beyond rescuing or salvaging. Still good to get them out of the water, good work...

[franciebloom]

This breaks my heart seeing a 73 Mach 1 lost in the river an left too Rot absolutely disgusting. Overall an awesome find man

[CannibalChxrry]

That was a beautiful car at one point.

[jakebraun]

That car was someone's pride and joy at one point, sad :(

[FreddieFairlane]

The Roadkill guys be there like "Oh that car is mint!".

[Josh-lqbx]

The whole car is a treasure. The engine it's a treasure itself.

[Strike]

This was hard to watch. I know it's been in a river for 40 years and it's about as sturdy as tinfoil, but seeing that amazing shape crunch up like a coke can was hard.

[rickleblanc]

great that you guys are cleaning up rivers and lakes, attracting other volunteers and building a business at the same time - a wonderful initiative -

[bcabmac]

That is one brutal vehicle recovery. By the end I couldn't stop laughing. You raised a fairly intact car that was very fragile. But the recovery at the ramp was like something out of a national lampoon movie or Farris Bulers day off. A stick of dynamite would have been more delicate. The car was gone in 60 second! Gone into confetti that is! That was priceless. You just made my day.

[Starrman]

Takes me back 30 years ago when we dove into a pond to locate a vehicle a fisher had seen....when It was pulled out of the water a body was in the car. Estimated to have been in the pond five years....closed that 5 year cold case missing person...

[sugarphantom]

That was a beautiful piece of American Muscle...before it went into the river. Really sad it ended up there!

[KerryannBanks]

P.S - can’t believe that your crazy enough to continue in the snow ❄️ talk about dedication x

[dustymoosevintage]

I hate to see so many cars under water. I own a pristine 1973 Mach 1. Love that car!
