Will it run and drive out of a collapsed shelter? 1966 Mustang 289 V8!

We don't come across Mustangs too often, and this one is cool. It has been sitting a long time, and the shelter it was in has fallen on it. Can we revive this pony?

That kid is very lucky to have a true southern gentleman ( Richard ) as a teacher. And a lot of projects all around. Hardest thing might be to find a woman like Christina. 🙂

[@mikepagliei426]

Southern?? Lmao.

[@danobrien3109]

The young fella is learning more and more every time he helps out Richard . I was surprised to see a trunk in that car, I haven’t seen a Mustang here in Ontario that the trunk ever survived. Thanks for the video guys. Nice camera work as always Christina.👍👍🇨🇦

[@terryeustice5399]

Congratulations Richard at the Junkyard getting the 65 Mustang going. Great job Christina in filming this episode. You’re the best at this old Iron going. Thank you for sharing! 💯👊👍

[@whattherust]

You're welcome Terry! Thank you as always.

PLEASE don't lean over the fan when revving the motor, I had a friend's father killed when a blade came off.

Mr. B. Here ! 🍔🍺😎👀👍. This looks like it’s going to be interesting & hope the bottom of the vehicle is not rusted that the car falls apart ! Good luck guys ! 👍🛞👍🛞👍🛞👍🛞

[@whattherust]

Thanks! Underside is good!

[@garyalleccia2793]

Wow! That old 289 runs great! If the sub frame is solid, that's an easy inexpensive resto. Well done as usual. And Christina is a trooper. Not many wives are willing to help move a collapsed structure out of the way.

[@whattherust]

Right on Gary.

[@wiedzmin3050]

I love the sound of Fords and this classic exhaust. Nice that I managed to start it. We are waiting for more videos like this!

[@johnmcdowell9059]

hello richard and kristina that ole pony sounds pretty sweet i think its worth restoring thank you for shariing

[@whattherust]

Nice-great job Rich and Christine!!👍👍

Christine, thats not the emergency brake... He's throwing it into park!!!

[@user-dj2lx6wu5m]

Very nice video. I remember my '66 mustang. It was uh Ca car all original with Ca emissions. It was a 289 and had the smog pump with air manifold check valves, diverter valve. I kept it all original. I miss that car.

[@jimmiebrown5014]

I see a black 55 Ford car in the background I would like to see you all do a willit run on that one

[@herbgreen3599]

Sounds Great, you couldn't have done it without Christinia and Lug Nut,

[@royhaught9516]

That old Mustang sounds really nice! Anotther sucess!

[@darrellbaty4127]

Another successful of "Will it Run."Great job and I love the sound of that 289!

[@--RO--]

Great job, and good of you to incorporate Lugnut - 👍👍👍

[@artausburn6982]

deserves a refresh, nice sounding 289

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

Fantastic video guys you got a nice old car running again hopefully someone will get all the bugs worked out and get her back on the road

[@whattherust]

Thanks Dale!

[@bigbill709]

It sounds good on the video for sure

[@LDCoronel1]

Some days ago i was doing a revival with a friend of mine of a carburated Buick Century and I've thought "Why don't we have Creoil here?" 😅😅😅 Cheers for that beautiful 66 Mustang 🎉

[@whattherust]

Right on! I love that stuff!

[@stevelangston2359]

Always working with a smile! I highly recommend; Hot Rod Guy Garage. Has a fantastic reworking of rusted metal unibody prices. Lots to learn just like Richard

[@whattherust]

Thanks for the tip Steve!

[@user-rc5zb9qv3z]

We need to see Christina's bright smile more often. Other than that, this was an excellent success.

[@user-hj5ep1oc2k]

Hi Richard and Christina ! Another really enjoyable video ! I got a great laugh out of your comment on the red calipers , I'm finishing my restoration on a 1963 Fairlane 500 2dr. And painted all the brake drums red ! Looks great behind the Cragers. Glad to hear it will also improve my handling !! Lol lol lol. Keep those wrenhes turning and Christina , the camera running ! So , so enjoyable !

[@whattherust]

Glad you liked it! I have had my fair share of cars with red drums too. It does look good behind Cragars.

[@jimmiebrown5014]

If it's don't have no mice in it it's probably got snakes in it

[@tomcooney1584]

You have to love those old mustangs. I had a 67 coup when I was 18 bought it for 200

[@vayabroder729]

This cool kid is already a gear head. Very good quality on a new generation. Car sounds great; good candidate to bring back.

[@paulmartin4971]

Hi Richard and Cristina another one hopefully rescued, the engine sounded great cheers 🥂

[@billyfoster3223]

Hey, Richard and Christina, another great video from you two! Great work on an old first Gen Mustang! I had a dark blue 1965 Mustang hardtop in high school with a 289 V-8 and C-4 automatic transmission and it ran well. Wasn't show quality but driver quality. Anyway, cheers to you and have a great day! 😀👍🛠️

[@whattherust]

Thanks Billy!

[@Koody666]

So do I, but I don’t want to get punched😂😂😂

[@klwthe3rd]

I'm not a huge Mustang fans since i prefer the more rare ophan cars myself. But one thing that i've noticed since watching these videos is how Richard really likes to prepare his area before he starts to work. It shows that he wants to give himself the proper space he needs to work comfortably and without clutter. I'm the same way. I would do as he and go through the car, clean away anything unecessary before i jump into the revival. Great video as always.

[@whattherust]

Thanks very much. I do try to keep the area as productive as possible, because once I start working , things get cluttered quickly! Thank you for the support.

[@davida.p.9911]

That was a big success!! Another winner!! 👍👍😎 And that Mustang has a lot of potential to be roadworthy despite the body work it needs. Very cool!! Congratulations Richard and Christina!! Thanks for sharing!

[@whattherust]

Thanks David. It could be a driver with a few days of hard work. The subframe is in great condition.

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Wow, that Mustang looks like a cool project. Needs repaint, but it looks good in red.

[@whattherust]

Right, it would make a very cool project.

[@axel3588]

[@user-ej7ou2kw3g]

Wow that thing sounds amazing,,, I'm in love with that thing...

[@stewartfoster6581]

64.5 to 66 mustangs never had front disc brakes from the factory. They were single reservoir all 4 drum brakes. I put 67 mustang ( kelsey hayes 4 piston ) disc brakes on my 66 mutt. You needed to change to a dual reservoir drum / disc master and put a proportioning valve inline to balance the brake pressure front to rear. I also added the power brake booster because it was really hard to apply brakes without the power assist. It is a bolt on changeover.

[@avilhall8922]

Great video thanks good running small block Ford have a wonderful day

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great vid and revival, lugnut is learning , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@bmxbobby1]

Nice Work

[@ronaldvanhorn9558]

You and Christina are did a great job getting the old Mustang running. The two of you work well together! She sounds great too, love the sound of the glass packs. Daniel is a good helper and knows a lot about cars for his age also. How do you find these old cars to work on? Anyway, Later!

[@whattherust]

Thanks very much! Many of the cars we come across are by word of mouth. This one came our way because I had done another video on the same property.

[@brianhillingjr.9853]

I enjoyed that video tremendously! I hope thins continue to work out for all of you!

[@whattherust]

Thank you for the nice comment, Brian. We appreciate the support.

[@hughphillips67Mustang]

You say you don't work on Mustangs much. I've restored them for 40+ years. The size of the radiator was determined by the cubic inces of the motor, and, by what accessories the engine had. That there is a 19w x 19.5t. If it had a.c., it would have had a 20w x 19.5t. Anything bigger than a 351, would have a 24w x 19.5t.

[@francoisbouchard602]

[@howardkoster4026]

Those "poverty caps" look like the same ones from my old '69 Valiant. Cool Mustang. They sold like hot cakes back in the day. Daniel, it's great to see todays youth interested in something other than video games.

[@whattherust]

Right, those were definitely Mopar caps.

[@johnkelly5487]

Great job! Jack, RI, USA

Car sounds so good 😊 . I had a 66 w/ notch back 289 3 spd. I sure do miss it.

[@MrShawnBeau]

Awesome! Would love to do the disc brake conversion on that and get it drivable!

[@AndersonSilva-by2jj]

This is my favourite episode so far. Cant deslike an old poney. You should try to restore it Richard. Great job

[@whattherust]

Thanks! My body work skills are about on par with what has been done with the Mustang previously.

[@tellysavalas2966]

Appears like had been somebody's hotrod in the 1990s. Good power to weight ratio, should be a not too complicated running project t somebody. Cheers

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Christina :) , Richard :) Lug Nut (Daniel) :) yes sounds nice that 1966 Ford Mustang for sure and need bit work but good condition one! Think Brakes fix up also new Alternator plus wireing she be good to go!

Thanks Andrew!

Another great video.

[@hawkpost44]

It had 100 octane in it judging by the south paw flag😊 there was definitely routine maintenance im no expert like Richard but a micro meter might be a good investment hopefully this kid watches this frequently cause tons of knowledge In about 40 mins does the kid have a channel I seen rust go out the exhaust so an oil change might be good next i was impressed with those tires..

[@tannerlawson1721]

Awesome thats living pony awesome job rixhard that was almost ti easy

[@vincentcalderella6404]

Again, great job Richard getting the Mustang running! By the way, I have that exact blue Tach/Dwell meter. It's at least 40 years old and still works great on my '54 Bel-Air!!
