I was 8 when this car was made, and they still excite me to this day! My first car was a 1988 Mustang LX in blue. Loved that car. Miss it every day. Very nice to see Mitch working on something near and dear to my heart.

[@calicocritterscrafts886]

Same for me! ‘82 baby here and boy does this bring back some memories! My cousins had one they drove. It had a hole in the floorboards that you could see the road through 😂

[@patrickgoodwin3085]

I had forgotten how thick carpet used to be in vehicles. Nice to have a good flashback when there was quality put into vehicles and great job as always.

[@acaliaaidras5012]

The only thing I don't miss about these older cars is the complete lack of cup holders. 😆

[@JRC99]

Quality isn't how id truly describe a Fox. Sturdy, yes, but very cheap.

[@duanemartin4958]

The fact that it's not full of rust.. is pretty impressive.

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

yeah , clearly cherry picked one for the video. I had 6 of these 25 years ago and never saw one so clean and straight

[@mattevans8517]

I think the dark maroon hides it. The LR quarter is rotted out pretty bad, and saw some bubbling over one of the fenders in the intro. Still in good shape despite that.

[@ryelundweber8496]

@@mattevans8517 hood and rear quarter is only spot with rust on this car, I own it

[@lowellfunk8974]

This one's been repainted at some point and time already! That's not a 1990 color, more like '82 gt color. Also not oem carpet, these cars didn't come with rear seat delete kits, I'd guess that they replaced all the carpet when they installed the delete kit. I have an 88 gt cobra hatch myself, and an 83 Mercury Capri RS, still a really good car and definitely fun to drive it!❤❤

[@conleykat]

I have been driving since 1980 when I was 17 and I learned on an automatic. In my early 30's my dad taught me to drive his manual truck. I had a lot of trouble at first because there was no gearshift knob, just the long stick coming out of the floor. Going up hill and around a curve at the same time was insane, but I finally mastered it and he bought me a manual 4 door Geo. I loved that car. I named it Betsy. lol I learned one thing when driving on snowy roads is that before you start down a hill is to shift it down and you won't slide. I drove in 1994 to town with my kids in big snow for the first time with big hills, curves and no guardrails. Never had one problem. I love window cranks in a car because if the electronic windows mess up you can crank them down.

[@trevorrowland6716]

Loved the change up. Seems like there has been a lot of crossover suv details lately. It's awesome to see something unique like this classic mustang it was so awesome to see the reveal. Keep it up LOVE the channel. Do you use the same process with older vehicles? Does the products react differently with older paint?

[@SuzukiKid400]

Agreed. I couldn’t care less about SUV cleaning. I want to see some interesting different vehicles.

[@utronful]

[@rosa7432]

Something about your videos just soothes the cockles of my heart. 🙃

[@IrajMatthee]

OMG!!! You'll think that this car just came out of the factory. Question: This is the only channel that cleans the under carriage, but why do we not see the engine bay get some detailing love too?

[@paranoxia_]

My mom was 4 when this was made (born 1985(december)). It is such a pretty car!

[@MrsBrit1]

My dad had a Mustang in the 80s. I don't know what year. I remember riding around in it. I think It was about the same color as this one. It was the only Ford he allowed in his garage. He's a Mopar man. 😂 Just had a look at them online. Probably an 86 in the red. That seems to fity memory. I was about 5 at the time. I think it had a t top.

This is brings back memories of my dad’s 1991 Mustang Rag-Top V8. I bought it for him in December 1990 as a Christmas present. He babied that car! It was the last car he owned before he passed away in 2017 but it was his dream car. I know my dad would have loved to had you detail it, Mitch, by today’s products!

[@joelbuchanan471]

32 years and you made it look excellent. There were a few scuffs that were not going to be fixed, but the car sure looks clean and beautiful now. The carpet in the back of the mustang was better than my living room. You were so careful to not damage the clear coat that has been washed and rubbed away after so many years. And I gotta say, you look tan, rested and great. You must be having some time outside with the quad. Good for you! I ordered the Glass cleaning bundle and a lilly brush for my nieces new car off your father day sale. Thanks Mitch, you're the best!

[@cynthiahopkins7090]

The weather is so beautiful day and plenty sunny. Mitch has a chance time to relish riding the quad and kick away stress. He has a better opportunity to get new fresh air and enjoys happiness with his health. Joel, you are right. Have an amazing weekend! Stay healthy and be safe.😎👏

[@jperez7499]

This brought me back to my youth. My first brand new Car was a 1993 Mustang LX Hatchback 4 Cylinder Twin Plug engine. I wanted the 5.0 but insuring it in NYC was very cost prohibitive. Gasoline back then was around $1.20. The car was terrible in the snow and deadly on curved off ramps as the rear would slip out from under you, but I still loved that car.

[@imm311]

Excellent work! God bless you and yours! Keeping you in prayer!

Hey Bud. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial video on all the products as far as cleaner and tools you use on which part of the vehicle and you talk about mixtures for your products. I don’t quite understand what you mean. Especially the different brushes you use on the dash and brush difference on the floors and seats. It would be very helpful. Hope you make a video on this bc it would be helpful and I want to be as good as you detailing my cars. I live in the US. 👍 love the videos man.

18:00 Just as a friendly suggestion, it would be awesome to have a product that removes the yellowing from the plastics of older cars without having to go through the retrobrite process (dismantling everything and use hydrogen peroxide and UV light). This is one enjoyable detailing session. Wish I had a chance to work on a car like that 'stang.
