This is a 1966 Mercury Montclair that's been abandoned in a barn for 26 years. The Mercury has a great story and was owned by Emmy Award Winning Screenwriter John Vlahos. A kind viewer of the channel recently bought the property and asked me to save the Mercury from the crusher. The collection of acorns in the barn was a sign of what's to come as I found the largest mouse nest I've ever seen during the detail. One of the most challenging and intensive clean-ups for sure but all worth it to donate the Mercury to a generous subscriber. The big reveal at the end was amazing and was very special to save this vehicle. Enjoy the episode and thanks for all the support! - L

You are the man for breathing life back into it, literally. I can’t imagine how bad the smell was inside it. The man who took the car and wanted to pay for everything is a real class act and you were right. He definitely deserved that car.

It was really nice of that guy who gave it to you, and the guy who got it must have been really stoked. First video I've seen of yours, I have a feeling that it's going to be a new favorite ♥

Really good to see someone else whom finds an great old car like this Merc is and not just dismiss it as garbage and crush it. Instead its brought back to life.Of course Im biased owning an 73 T-bird, 78 Lincoln mk v bill blass , 68 mercury parklane fastback etc. Thank you Sir and please keep up the excellent work.

The best part of all your work is the appreciation of it by the new owner. You couldn't find a better one! When I make a give away of not needed value items, I am always happy if the next owner still takes care about it. I am so glad that the right person came!

Nice to see the car go to such a nice fellow. I had a 78 Dodge Magnum with a seized engine. Filled it to overflowing with diesel fuel and every day would try to turn it by hand. One day it broke free and after a few successive oil changes and new plugs it fired up and turned out to be one of the best motors I’ve owned. Great episode.

You're a very brave man, tackling a car like that... I would be really frightened to even open that car, knowing that there's a big chance some kind of rodent will come and jump at you. But besides that, the smell and the unbelievable amount of mess the rodents left behind ... I shiver at just the idea! So you, my man, have my deepest respect!

It's honestly a sin to crush these old cars when they still have life in them even if it looks rough on the outside and inside. I cannot stand when people won't put in the effort to save these cars for future generations to admire or drive. I'm glad how everything ended, with the gentleman wanting to pay you and how you just wanted the money donated; tells me you're a class act :)
