Abandoned 1971 Ford Mustang, Will It Run & Drive Home After 25 Years? | Turnin Rust

Join in with the Turnin’ Rust Crew as they dive into this abandoned 1971 Ford Mustang. After finding this car sitting up for over 20 years, the team decides to give it their best shot at not only reviving but attempting to drive this forgotten beauty back to the shop. Fighting their way through wasps, honey bees, and the Texas heat, the guys have high hopes of seeing this once prized muscle car moving under its own power. Will the guys be able to make it home or has this Ford breathed its last breath?

Extremely impressed with that old pony with not only how easily it started up but how it made the voyage back with minimum issues after setting for who knows how many years. A testament to the durability and fortitude of cars of the era. Hopefully I can attain one one day!

The editing of this video was outstanding, switching between your two head band go-pros, Christian’s camera, and car mounted cameras. The soundtrack kept perfect pace. Truly professional!

I'm from a far away country (Georgia the country not the state) and just love seeing you guys put American classic cars back on the road, i wish we had cars like that here, would love to do the same, God bless <3

Brother, your ability to keep calm after being obviously lied to is incredible. Looking at this car, I can't see anything worth a thousand dollars. I'll pray for you and your dad to be able to do something to get square on this deal. It's a shame that folks lie like they did. God bless you.

A lot of folk dislike the '69-'71 models, but I kinda have a thing for the oddballs. I see these models as a nice transition between the 60's "pony cars" and the later "Mach one" big-body cars. Great to see you guys saving another piece of history!

From one hobbiest car restorer it’s great to see a father and son team doing this at this level .I recognize my flipping days are getting a bit slower, watching your content gives me those enthusiastic tingles to get out on the driveway, lift the old cars up and finish projects a waiting .

I thought the wooden seat was cleaver. Usually it’s a milk crate. Great video.

I used to think that getting old cars running again was the hard part and paint was easy, but the more I watch your episodes the more I realize that getting them running is the easy and quick part, and doing a total rust and cosmetic restoration is probably the hard part. This year I may get an early '70s GM squarebody that's been sitting for a while, and I really appreciate your methodical method of walking through the essentials to get things working again. Your channel is excellent edutainment!

When I was a kid, I remember my dad took me down to the south Philly shipyards to watch the "demolition derby's" - and to dirt track drag races in
Eatontown Jersey - (you can see what a wasted childhood I had growing up) - THANKS for helping me recreate those WONDERFUL memories. I loved
every minute of it - which is why I went on to become a high school teacher working on advanced degrees at Rutgers. I nominate you both for some sort
of Academy Awards in film making and small town magnificence (a new category). Just be CAREFUL (I can hear your momma say). Peg in NJ

That was as much of an adventure as I've seen in a while. Well done!

[ZimeleVilakazi]

Father and son working perfectly well, you guys are so blessed

[chrishamblin]

It is refreshing to see and hear all of you and your projects too we are praying for you guys too

Dear lord, you guys had me drooling with the title that says Abandoned 1971 Ford Mustang. Absolutely my dream car.

[tiahummel-hody]

What an amazing save. And she made it back to the shop. Congratulations!! I could just see her smiling all the way down the road. Well done!!

[thomaswermager]

That was definitely a challenge! Interesting how the upper part of the body doesn’t look too bad. Then when you look underneath there’s very little there. Being a unibody, most of the structure is the underside! You are a brave & lucky man to make it home! Now what? Thank you for the ride and Great video!

[LordSamuelJ]

I really like that 71 coupe! I see a ton of fastback 71-73s but not many coupes. I like it better than the fastback in those years. I hope you guys give her a second chance. Great video guys! God bless!

[robertlacob]

Super lucky guys! I was praying all the way home for you. That car IS the bomb. As you fix one thing another pops up.

[allenbuck]

I had a 69 as a young Marine in 71. Wish I had it back. That car is well worth saving. Great job thanks from. Sc

[patricksnow]

I’m shocked that old mustang made it home and amazed you didn’t fall through the floor with the amount of rust just glad your safe.

You 2 are a fantastic guide on how to work hard and have fun. God bless you from London UK.
