First Wash In 5 Years: Abandoned Ford GT Disaster Detail with Doug DeMuro!

This 2005 Ford GT was left outside for 5 years after the owner suddenly passed. The owner's family has brought the Ford GT to AMMO NYC for a full detail restoration and service so it can find a new enthusiast home. The iconic GT requires multiple washes, interior removal, paint correction, wheel refurbishment, and a full service to bring it back to a condition befitting of its value. I find all kinds of nests and surprises in various areas of the car. I call my good friend Doug Demuro to auction the Ford GT on his Cars & Bids website after the detail and he stops by the AMMO Studio for a fun drive. Be sure to check out the auction on Cars & Bids and enjoy this episode of DRIVE + PROTECT. crsnbds.com/ammo_fordgt

Congratulations on all your success!

What an honor for a car guy to have his car restored by Larry and sold by Doug. If he loved his car like all other GT owners you kept his time and effort and story alive. Im sure proceeds will help his family too.

So sad to know the owner passed, but now his legacy is safe, bet ya he smiled from up there.

Everybody has finite time, money, and energy, and to be frank there are many things in life more important than cars (even one as incredible as a GT). Kids, illness, a business startup, home remodeling, and a host of other things can result in a situation like this. It's always sad when an owner that really prized their car isn't able to bring it back to its original glory afterwards though.
