Will this 1966 Ford Mustang run and drive again after sitting for 16 years?

My wife’s uncle picked up this super clean 1966 Ford Mustang from an older gentleman who took very good care of it apparently. Parked under a carport for the last 16 years, it will definitely need to be freshened up, so let’s see what it’ll take to put it back on the road.

Great effort. Save this icon and let the classic as old style and original as possible. Great and rare color by the way.

Looks like the guy didn't use penzoil all the time that's a good thing

[@SuperTater2000]

What a cool preserved car! Great video! I love your channel and how you go into detail!

[@Rustwrangler]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@davidchenoweth5467]

Nice 68 Mustang. Looks Like it's in great shape.

[@auaiao9]

66

[@johnroof2663]

That little 289 sounds like you've got a vacuum leak somewhere. I've had a bunch of them. I have a 68 Mustang right now that I'm working on right now with a 351 Windsor bored and stroked out to a 414.

[@Rustwrangler]

Nice! Sounds like you’re building a monster! As far as the vacuum leak sound on this car when I first got it going, that did seem to get better as it warmed up.

[@Tannerrebuilds]

great video defiantly subbing bc of this. beautiful color for it and yes sir that is a very mint interior

[@Rustwrangler]

Thank you! Yea the interior was perfect, if someone snags this car up for a project, they may just have to do a little bit of metal work in a couple small areas, and that’s it.

[@thomasputnam4491]

Make sure torque converter bolts are tight too

[@Rustwrangler]

Yea, I did check those thinking maybe the clunking was due to a torque converter bolt but they were good!

[@thomasputnam4491]

Good chance the mustang moter is all gummed up inside from that penzoil I seen in the trunk won't oil made I been a mechanic 55 years and every car I worked on that used penzoil they would be all gummed up inside

[@Rustwrangler]

Good to know. Note to self- don’t use penzoil. Haha

[@thomasputnam4491]

If he used penzoil that moter will look awful when you was under it it looked like the coner of the bellowing was busted like it bottomed out hard probably happened when the pan got dented

[@Rustwrangler]

Yea, surprisingly this motor was pretty clean inside.

[@thomasputnam4491]

Did you check the oil

[@Rustwrangler]

Yes I did

[@thomasputnam4491]

Put an oil guage on it

[@thomasputnam4491]

Hold the gas down
