I ran into an older gentleman locally a couple years ago when he and his wife were getting into a red and white GT500. I had to stop and ask about the car and its story. Turns out he bought it brand new 15 miles away in Washington, IL and has babied it ever since, everything original except the tires, and immaculate for its age. We talked about the car for over an hour, he let me get photos of the inside and outside, and said our goodbyes. About 2 minutes later he comes pulling back into the parking lot. His wife gets out of the car and asked if i wanted to take it for a ride. He took me around town for about 20 minutes, and even showed off its power quite a few times. It was a surreal experience.

[@14_yote5_oh5]

[@michaelscott-joynt3215]

I think it feels like astronomical because we don't associate that kind of money for a car like this, or having all that money up front, and we sat down and poured over the labor that went into this project. On the other hand, if a guy pulled up in a 2021 Porsche 911 turbo, he spent two hours at a dealer, signed some papers, and has a monthly payment. It probably wouldn't seem like an astronomical expense, even though he'll sink more money into that than this entire Shelby project, and devalue the car with time, whereas this Shelby owner had to have added value with the restoration, which should only increase in time.

I love this!! Brings back some great memories. Bonus: He's from Des Moines! I've lived in DSM all my life. Grew up in Beaverdale. Back in the 60's there was a shoe store in B'dale called Jerry's Shoes. He was a Florsheim shoe dealer. They were holding a national contest and the winner received a Shelby GT500! My neighbor won that car!! He was BARELY old enough to drive it!! It was the exact same car you restored only it was red. We got to drive around in it a couple of times, then his dad made him sell it! Paid for college tho. I ve talked to him or his brother several times over the years. Not a day goes by that he wishes he still had that hot rod!! Thx for memories!! Well done!! Hope to see you around town!

Yeah. This is the point that helped me really make sense of all the parts he left "unrestored." The temptation to do it all, removing every millimetre of rust and every dent must be high, but then you couldn't drive it in traffic while being relaxed, and enjoy it. Great to see an old manual car driving on the road. Be great to drive something like this in the USA. Being from the UK I the first time I drove an automatic was when I had to rent from the airport on holiday in the US. Great for road trips, but it is riding, not driving. Must be nice to drive a manual on some of those big roads, and actually be in control.

I did not want this video to end and as a man who restores cars myself I really respect you for doing the right thing and driving this car so it can be appreciated by the millions of people like myself who grew up looking at these cars in magazines and dreaming about owning them god bless you guys and thanks for helping keep this alive

[@bencole4272]

I couldn't agree more with this guy. It's a thing of beauty and because it's not a pristine garage queen I would enjoy driving it all the more.

[@creativewerksinc]

[@bradallen6333]

It's just incredible to see this, and hear the sound of such a magnificent motor.

"They're cars; they need [to be] driven". EXACTLY!

[@escabrosa1]

I had a '67 289 coupe, manual 3-speed. I loved driving that car, except in traffic. I can only imagine how fun it would be to drive this mustang.

“They’re cars and the need to be driven.” That is just awesome someone who has a deep appreciation for the car but yet still puts it on the road. I love it!

[@EDrmmer]

absolutely my favorite vehicle restoration video I’ve ever seen. I am 64ys old and I respect the passion and attention to detail it took to make this video. Thank you for what you do.

A car is only original one time.. What a great quote. 100% agree with this restoration. Cool video.. Thanks!!

[@jasonborn5645]

I'm 47. I'm not a big Ford fan but let me say keeping the car as original as possible is fantastic and if I were going to buy this car I would want all the original life and infections left in in it as much as possible and that just makes all the better. Great car!

[@krayzie5968]

i'm glad to see what actually happened with this car. I remember watching the video when he got it. I love they way they restored this car. Great job
