No lies, this is my favourite of all your cars. 60s Mustang Coupè can hold its own against the Aston Martins, Jaguars etc of the era. It was even in a James Bond (Sean Connery) movie and didn't look out of place. The designers knew what they were doing. Respect from Fiji ☦️✨🕊🌴🇫🇯👑🗻

When I got my license in 1974 my first car was 66 Mustang 289 4 speed car, they make great daily drivers. easy to work on and maintain.

I hold no doubt this thing is capable of another 57 years, simple and reliable package all around

A fun car to drive. I have a 65, and love every minute I get to drive it.

Ben, I so enjoy watching you, live yer best life..
I've got a 65 coupe, driver car, 90 302 F150 motor, with four barrel and an AOD. My buddy and painted it in 91. So it looks a bit distressed now, a perfect "urban assault" vehicle... Drive any where, even winter, and park where ever you want.. Absolute freedom, for a car guy... And as you mentioned in yer video on this car, a perfect "business card_ for your shop. I don't know WTF some of those haters were 🤔 thinking in the comments.. Good grief, not every car project, has to reach "perfection". Drive brother, just drive !!!!

I'm having fun building my 1970 BOSS 302. Barn find 41 years in a barn in WV. The guy that undercoating this car was a genius, no rust from environmental just 3 holes from rat pee. You the best thanks for giving me the courage to do this. I watch all your videos multiple time....thanks.

The rusty quarter panels would drive me nuts.

BTW, yes would love you to do a cost breakdown video on the green coupe...

Love the car! Under the radar and awesome! No needfor concours car like someone said ..why drive something you willbe afraid of road rash or rock chips or someone hitting you.

[michealdoeden]

Love the sound of the exhaust. More details please.

Holy crap, enough with the Peterson quality criticism already... Did you not get "the daily" driver aspect of the build here? It's fun, reliable, and he can leave it anywhere... A great business card, for him, running errands.. And he gets to " row" thru the gears as a bonus!!! That in it self, is almost guaranteed theft deterrent for more 7/8's of car theft population out there !!! Nice car Ben.. We'd love to see the cost and parts used breakdown of you can do it... God bless.

I just found out last night about the mishap at the Mecum Auction in Harrisburg. I didn't see a post from you, so I hope your Mustang escaped any damage and you were able to sell it. That is a shame with what happened to the other cars that were outside on the 25th.

Just for peace of like to do all the wheel bearings, shocks, leaf springs, brakes, etc. Even if they don't need it. That way it's one less thing you need to worry about breaking down when driving.

I think it is simply a fantastic idea and I love her !!!! My 2008 Bullitt is a daily driver but take it to car shows to let kids sit in her. She is a salvage title but looks good with (as you did) many upgrades and maintainence parts and has a Paxton Charger. I Love to drive her !!
Her name is Going Green !!

Just wait for all the unsuspecting people, to come up to you, and tell you that you should have it restored. Looks awesome, I’m building something along the same line, no paint job, just drive it and enjoy!

Fantastic seats. For me a comfortable seat is EVERYTHING. I really liked the Camry I was leasing a few years back, other than the seats, which were hurting my back. I was forced to get rid of it as a result. I then went back in time and bought a gorgeous 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350 SDL, which has the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced.
