For someone thats been asking for the car for so long, i thought she'd have been a lot more excited than she was. Car looks great guys. Excellent job

[Titansilber.i]

What a great dad! Hopefully the daughter appreciates this more than she showed, she did not seem too excited, I would be crying if my dad did this for me.

My first car was a 67 Mustang Convertible. So much fun! Sold it for 67 Corvette fast back. Great car i owned for 5 years.
American muscle cars from mid 50s to mid 70s my favorite. I am in my late 60s now.

[Dr.StephenH]

Cleaned everything but the underside of the hood! 👍

Side marker lights were a new requirement in 1968. My dad AND my grandfather both had almost identical 1967 F100 trucks and neither had side marker lights. US government made them mandatory for all 1968 model year vehicles. The lights in the hood are functional turn signal indicators. Not sure why, really as the ones on the dash are there as well.

My '68 was also originaly a vinyl top car. When I got it the original owner had painted it a pure white instead of its original red color. Before I sold it, I had it repainted back to its original red. I never did replace the vinyl on the roof, not many people do. But that is what the trim piece is for on top of the rear quarter panels.

Great car, Great story, and Great history going to an appreciative owner is awesome!

Windows of that era had no UV protection, so the rays faded the carpet through the side windows. Looks like (when) the car was parked outside the passenger side was facing the sun for the majority of the day.

[Gargoyle]

I don't understand, you pursued the original owner to sell you the car and then after you bought it you parked it and haven't touched it.

[edbarrett]

Good work....a car worth saving for sure. You all might consider doing a bit of resto detailing such as re-dying the carpet and door panels, a bit of black touch up on the console face, etc.

The only other thing besides the carb needing a little work is going through the brake system after sitting for so long. The drum brakes aren’t great to begin with but need master cylinder and wheel cylinder rebuilds to make sure it will maybe stop

[Dana_Rose_]

Well the daughter's reaction was quite underwhelming but the car came out awesome. My best friend had a 66 in high school and when you showed that shifter the memories came flooding back❤

[BlueSaphire]

That was an excellent job of cleaning and getting the car running again! It's a lovely car. I remember when it first came out, it was that cat's meow! I wish the daughter had shown a bit more gratitude for the awesome gift, especially since she had been asking for it for years. Her Dad was more excited giving it to her than what she was upon receiving it.

Another great detail job, guys. The carpet fibers are molded/created in that color, and UV rays deteriorate certain colors over time. And that plastic chrome on the door panels was a newly developed creation of the fashion world that car manufacturers licensed for this purpose. It wasn't meant to last 50+ years. This car has the optional knitted vinyl upholstery, which was first available as an option on the '67 Cougar. Ford used it a lot into the '80s on various vehicles.

[AlisyaBurke]

Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations

[der_kluger_gunther]

the reaction at the end got me an awww, she was so happy to get it! and i can easily say that driving "old" cars are way funnier than new ones lol. such a classic deserves to be on the road again, amazing job guys <3

[johncarlson]

Jesus, I would've lost my mind if my Dad had handed me those keys...all he got was "thanks." Oh well.

Got our older one a GT350 as a gift for getting a full ride to college- right now it's still in my name, sitting in the back garage. Took one of my Audi's (a D2) to the Air War College for extra schooling there. BTW, unless that car has had a re-spray in modern materials (which it doesn't appear top be), that is single-stage enamel paint. Clear coat was not available. Concerning fuel- all that old stuff? Get rid of it. The ethanol content will dry out the old flex hose, the fuel pump diaphragm, carb non-brass floats...you have to use the flex-fuel/ethanol-rated materials or you will have serious issues

[steviesaidso]

Detroit loves you guys!!! Another fun video. Those rims are so classic! The music is always so relaxing, even the power washer!

I have an 84’ Dodge Ramcharger with a 350 quad. You guys inspired me to clean under the hood and it came out great!

[brianaguiar]

That mystery yellow stuff is the cheese slice from your McDouble, from 20+ years ago.

[reinaldodombueno]

Beautiful car, excellent work!! I hope the owner family will provide a new coat of paint, as well as small bodywork repairs... I would like the channel to revisit some customers, so we can find out additional chapters of these wonders, thank you!
