- This ABANDONED 1967 Ford Mustang spent the last 20 YEARS in a barn where hundreds of mice called it home....the clean up was nothing short of a miracle!

I'm honoured to have been able to play a small part in the restoration process on this car and I can't wait to see this back on the streets! Not sure I'll ever forget that smell though....🤣
NEW Yard Geek video coming tomorrow!!!
Finally! I am thrilled to see your coming YardGeek on Saturday. ❤🚜👏💯
I'm excited!
@thedetailgeek detail that car to her former original glory cas cars like that are rare especially if there all original
Don’t tease us. Lol
It might be gross but I’m waiting to see that red mustang all cleaned up. If money wasn’t an issue a classic candy apple red mustang would be my dream car.
😂😂😂
The little mouse was so adorable! I know it is not good to have inside, of course, but that little face was everything ❤ Amazing transformation as always, Mitch! Have been watching you for a few years and while I don't even have a driver's license, the intense cleaning process you always do makes my heart happy. Say hi to Mike for me 😂😂
Mitch did not show this, but that mouse got a hammer bashed on its head! Little brains all over!!!😂😂
@@dannysunay4386 And you think this is funny because....?
@@ScorchingAngel Cuz mice are disgusting vermin who ruin things.
@@ScorchingAngel😂😂
Mice are so dang cute!! Filthy, but cute.
I’m convinced Mitch can clean ANY car now. He never lets us down 🙌
And he does it all for free...so cool.
@@mjuberianno he doesn't 😂
@@Renee5 I know.. I am sure it is a lot of money.
If he doesn't charge a lot..he should.
omg i wish i had a man with that car
I would love you see you follow up with this one after the owner get its all fixed up or even give quick updates throughout that process if possible.
Agreed! I want updates!
his reaction to the finished product really shows that he’s absolutely the right guy to have this car
Why do people have classic cars and I’m not going to cover it or clean it or protect it then say it’s worth tons lol
Maybe they are too old to care for it like they use to or they became disabled you never know someones back story so don't judge
I'm told covering it can trap moisture and promote rust formation
People have to much money...
The dust is a PROTECTIVE coating, lol
So basically most of the time back in the 60s and 50s when these cars were made, they were incredibly cheap for today’s money for example you could get a base model 65 Mustang for around $2500 when people were done driving these cars, they didn’t think to protect it because they weren’t really valuable back then, sometimes if a person had an emotional connection to the car, then they’ll cover it but most of the time that’s not the story
It was nice to see Nolan so grateful and appreciative, not that some of your owner reactions aren't, but as this is a bonus/treat/toy car an owner could be more jaded by the situation.
Couldn't agree more!
@TheDetailGeek What was the original paint colour, great job as usual. Hi from Victoria, Australia. 😊
omg i wish i had a man with that car
@@TheDetailGeeki love watching your deep cleaning videos on your UA-cam channel
One of my favorite classic cars! You did a phenomenal job on getting it cleaned up. After he gets it running again, he needs to bring it back to the shop and give you a ride. I would love to hear that engine.
Now that's a reveal reaction, the guy's excitement was so legit i honestly felt for both of you guys. Good job mate, another masterpiece!
For the chrome pitting, one thing I found that works really well is to take a ball of aluminum foil, spray the chrome wd-40, and then sand the chrome with the aluminum foil ball. The aluminum is softer than chrome and will remove corrosion and fill in pits. While it will not be factory new, it is actually rather amazing how well it works
The new owner is a very wise man. He brought this disaster to the best detailer around! What a shame this was left to deteriorate so badly, it’s going to be gorgeous when restored. Yes, this is one car I’d love to own. Thanks for sharing this video Mitch, you got this beauty looking (almost) new!
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
It is a bit of a waste of time to detail it because the whole car needs to be chemical dipped but it does look good while being worked on
Hands down the best owner reaction EVER! Great job Mitch, you are awesome!!
Thank you!
@@TheDetailGeek where do you live in what state?
@@Lower820he lives in canada i think
As someone that is working to restore a 67 Mustang that my mom and dad brought new, I always love to see others being saved. This one turned out so good especially considering where it started. It does seem to have a bit of an indentity issue between being a 67 or 68. The grill is from a 68 as are the front seats. 67 seats did not have a locking back to the best of my knowledge. Also think the C strip on the exterior was a 68 option. But still a great looking car. The owner might want to look behind the dash to see if the build sheet is there. Ford often taped those to the wiring harness behind the dash. It will have a lot of great information about the car and how it was when it left the factor.
i noticed that too.its a 67 but a 68 grill and seats.
All good points - one of the best things about the 67 was the pony and star corral in the grill, not the simple corral of the 68. With the chrome trim on the wheel wells and below the doors, it needs the pop off gas cap as well. Adding a new hood with the embedded turn signals would be good as well, a 67 option, standard on 68. Under the hood, a windshield washer box instead of a bag indicates a later 1967.
@@briannicklas10967s also didn't have the aluminum trim on the trunk lid and corner surrounds, 68s do. This car is an interesting Frankenstein. Has the 68 grill not the 67 as you noted.
@@johnfranklin5277 The trim on the lid and corners goes with the trim on the lip of the wheel wells and rockers "Exterior Decor Group" - I had it on my 67.
I want the VIN, really curious how many mods the owner made to it.
Kudos to you!! You have nerves of steel😅😅 when encountering the dead and live mice. I wouldn't pick up a dead mouse even with gloves!! You did an awesome, amazing job ❤❤💯
Excellent job! I can’t believe the carpet! For nearly 60 year old loop pile and to have been saturated by mouse urine for years the fact it came out intact, survived the drill brush and pressure washed clean is beyond a testament to the quality of Ford (and other Detroit) products in this time period. I’m baffled how well this car cleaned up. I’m shocked honestly. Amazing work sir. Wow.
Thank you!
It looks even better parked in my garage!! Luckiest guy around right now.
It looks like the floor pans and the trunk pans were replaced. My guess would be that is not the original carpet. If it is, I agree, amazing quality to withstand the amount of mouse urine soaked into it and the scrubbing Mitch had to do to clean it.😊 either way an amazing job.
You couldn't pay me enough to clean that. You were a brave man taking that on. Unbelievable how it turned out. She's a beaut!!!!
Thank you!
@@TheDetailGeek I kinda have to agree. Afraid of breaking anything on one hand and honoured on the other. lol
Also, a tad disappointed that you didn't give the underside of the hood a once over while you were there. Being protected I bet it'd come up a treat. It would've made all that hard work you did go from great looking to special (imho).
Fantastic result tho... 👍👏
Dude, that transformation is unreal! I hope Nolan can get that beauty up and running soon.
I’ve been watching you for a year or so and that was the best reveal!!! He was blown away! It’s funny to come across this tonight because I was just telling my son that his grandma owned an orange Mustang when we were kids. Amazing work on the details! I know the smell and all of the materials they gnawed to make bedding is really bad for you to breathe in but I’ve seen some of your details from customers who actually DRIVE around in their cars. At least this one has the, “I’ve been sitting in a barn for a hot minute!”, excuse, and you sure did it justice!
It's been a pleasure seeing Mitch leveling up through life
My first car was a '67 Mustang, so this brought back memories of getting it cleaned up when I was a teen and in my 20s. I'd love to own one again someday. Thanks for the video!
Your dedication is amazing, Mitch. I always learn something new from your videos.
The floor pans and the rockers are in amazing condition - that is going to make an amazing restoration! I'd definitely be replacing that carpet, though. There's no amount of steam cleaning that would make me comfortable driving that.
1965 Ford Mustang is my ultimate DREAM car!!!!!!! Always loved them!!
I really love watching you clean cars. You're so meticulous in your efforts, and the finished product is always wonderfully done. If I lived in Canada, I'd certainly bring my car to you for detailing.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
What an unbelievable transformation Mitch. This has to be one of my favorite details you’ve done so far. Fantastic job!
Thank you!
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
The owner seems like a very nice guy! I'm happy for him!
I was fortunate to have owned a 1967 Mustang in Britany Blue w/ the black vinyl top. Loved it and drove it for 13 years. Mine was a souped up 289 HP. Still miss it today!
Best part about a Mustang is it's aftermarket. Every single piece in that car is available.
If it were me, I'd just throw away all of that interior.
I think if I were in your shoes, I’d be apologizing to this beauty for being so mistreated all those years. You did an amazing job with her.
Mitch the work you accomplished was phenomenal. An the appreciation shown by the client nearly brought me to tears. I could just feel it. Well done! Sooo well done.
Phenomenal job! And so gratifying to work for someone who really appreciates all you did. Would love to see it when it's totally restored.
Some day I would love to watch you detail a ‘66 or ‘67 GTO, my dream car!
I call it " The Mouse Stang" Great car to restore.
Classic restored! Thank you!
I really like the new music you use in your videos and i LOVE that you took out the carpet to clean it- it just gives the feeling of a really deep clean 😊 and all the polishing was the cherry on top ❤
My parents had a green 67 mustang that my older brother learned to drive on in the early 80's. My 82 year old dad says to this day that he regrets to this day selling it to a coworker in 1985. Love seeing you work on this favorite type of muscle car.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
You should definitely see if you can get some updates on the car when he fixes the engine up some more! We'd love to see it! Probably your best detail yet Mitch! If I can own a vehicle from 1967 it would be a four-door black Chevy Impala haha
Thank you! And I certainly will!
Supernatural fan? xD That is a really nice car
@@daeganorion6915 You know it! Lol
Dean-Girl or - Boy?
Watching this was kind of special to me. I owned a 67 mustang coupe for years. It was a light turquoise color with the black interior, and I kept it in good shape until I sold it to build a street rod. Now I own a 66 mustang, coupe. The cool thing about it is you have a little bit of each of these cars here. While my 67 was turquoise my 66 is red with the black vinyl top. That made it even more fun for me to watch. I’ve cleaned up a lot of messes in my life but I don’t think I could handle that one. Congratulations on the great job.
I really appreciate it when you clean the car yourself... I am your fan from Indonesia
Will you revisit these cars after their restoration? It would be cool to see how they turn out.
I'll try to with this one!
@@TheDetailGeek It would be awesome to see it when it's done, if you can revisit it!
Can't wait to see you cleaning this one Mitch. I think this will be one of your best videos
Never have been a ford mustang fan. My 60’s car would be a 67 fastback stingray with the split rear windshield. You did a fantastic job of cleaning and detailing it. Kudos!
One of my cousins actually just restored a ‘67 Chevelle and a ‘67 Nova. It’s amazing seeing classic cars be rebuilt and restored. Great video Mitch!
I count it a privilege to have lived when these cars were rolling off the assembly line. Back in the 60's all of the manufacturers were turning out iconic muscle cars and it was fun to see the HP increasing every year! Being a Mopar guy I loved the Cuda's, Challengers, Chargers, & Road Runners. There is nothing like a 426 Hemi turning the car sideways on the downtown streets on Saturday night as we raced through the stop lights. Thanks Mitch, for an incredible trip down memory lane.
Holy cow. You did an amazing job on this one!
My dad had a 64 1/2 Mustang back in the 60s. Had to sell it when my parents moved to where they live now because it wouldn't pass inspection (rusted floor boards and other issues). He loved that car. The muscle cars from the 60s are amazing!
Well done, I always enjoy watching your content @TheDetailGeek. Keep up the great work!
Please do more videos on detailing old cars like this video please 🙏
Thank the heavens! You pre-soaked before pressure washing 👏
You forgot to clean under the hood 😂
Always thrilled to see one of these! They are so rare now, even though I live in San Francisco, California (with our temperate climate). I owned the same one in early 1990’s. It was red, but not that sweet looking candied apple ❤! Thanks for taking me back…. JT.
Nice job too. So glad to see the seatbelts get done as well.
Absolutely superb transformation of that classic! GREAT work. Be proud, my friend...very proud.
Great looking shop, btw.
Awesome job! I had a white 68 Mustang Notchback with a red C Stripe on the side. It brought back a lot of memories of my first new car. It was $2,350 out the door with my Dad’s A-Plan discount. My Dad would only sign if I bought the 200 cu. in. Straight Six with a three speed shifter. He didn’t want me to get into trouble with a V-8.
Best owner's reaction!
Even with the pain damage it’s a beautiful car. Candy Apple Red 67’ Fastback is my dream car.
Nothing in the world, like the sound of a happy baby 👶 ❤
Thanks for sharing your family time 😊
Watching from knoxville Tennessee,USA
That was a massive undertaking Mitch. You really stepped up to the challenge on this one! My dad had a ‘66 Mustang as I was growing up. Unfortunately it met its demise when he decided to knock a train off the tracks with it. Fortunately he survived and is living a great life. My favorite car was a ‘70 Thunderbird. I wish I still had it, but it rusted out from under me. I’ve also dreamed of having a ‘73 Mustang.
omg i wish i had a man with that car
Ford Mustangs are my favorite cars and seeing how you transformed this beauty has left me speechless. Mitch, you are the best! Beautiful job.
A repo company pulled a 1965 Mustang Coupe out of a flooded field in 2017. My dad and I were stupid enough to buy that car and restore it. I'm driving it to this day slowly upgrading stock parts with new stuff.
I'm glad this guy is willing to pay to have it cleaned up and make it run. Beautiful color and an amazing car for sure!
Awesome job! When he gets it running and all back together and fixed up hopefully he’ll bring it by and you can do a quick follow up on the finished product!!
I am the proud owner of a 1964 Vauxhall Viva HA. it's only got 48000 miles on the clock. It's Cedar Green. I love it, I take it to shows here in the UK. I don't drive it in the winter.
AWESOME ,AWESOME JOB .That looks FANTASTIC how you cleaned that classic up.
I already own my dream classic and it's not everyones first choice, a 72 Buick Skylark. None the less, that mustang is a beautiful car!
Detail geek never disappoints
Detail Geek, I’m writing this at the bottom of my heart and I truly mean everything I say. I can confirm that I watch your videos completely on everyone of them. You have proven time and time again that you’re one of the top auto care detailers in existence in the world. If I wasn’t 1,758 miles southeast of you I would pick you above everyone else if the choice was given to me for sure. You’re amazing and talented man that takes love and care in everyone’s vehicles and anyone can be reassured that every vehicle will be as clean and perfect as possible. Congratulations on 3.45 million subscribers that you earned and worked hard for.
Thank you very much! ❤️
@@TheDetailGeek it’s taken me approximately 10 months of binging all of your 1-30 minute videos to completion.
@@TheDetailGeek I have dedicated a lot of my free time to see all of your most popular videos.
@@TheDetailGeek not only that I’ve watched all of your videos to completion twice on each of them by sharing them to friends.
Absolutely amazing..... greetings from cape town south Africa. I truly admire your work
What a beautiful car🥰, glad it was able to be restored!!
That was amazing! I can’t believe it looked so good underneath, I was expecting that brightwork to be rusted to bare metal! He truly appreciated what you had done right there. The seats surprised me, I was expecting them to be flaking apart completely. You’re a miracle worker!
It's amazing to see a car that is my age! I was born in November of 1967! That car deserves the best!!!
Great restore work on an icon! I’ve been a Mustang car owner for years! Bought in their model year, I’ve owned a white 1998, 5-speed, and currently own a 2002, body in good condition, silver auto. Loved them! Very few mechanical issues other than maintenance. 💝
Great job. Unbelievable results.
Really enjoyed the video. As a owner of a 1970 Candy Apple Red Fastback , I just have a few questions: unless I missed something, the hood interior was not cleaned. What happened to the 2 mice? Great job. Suggest some more muscle video's.
I caught the grey one in the Studio overnight and Nolan got the brown one a couple days later 😄
@@TheDetailGeek I was wondering if you caught them lol.
Truly great detail Mitch, thanks for bringing this legendary car back to life
I have a 1972 c10 with a 402 BigBlock in it my dad had it then gave it to me never knew there was no such thing as love in first sight till I saw that beauty when I was growing up!!
Amazing. My bf has a 68 he loved that car. I had a 69 coupe. Old Mustangs are the best.
Oh man. That smell must've been horrendous. Speaking as someone restoring a '69 Toyota Corona, what you've done for the owner gives him a heck of a head start on his resto and I know he'll appreciate you forever for it. Wow. Just wow!
The smell was worse than anything I’ve ever experienced, I’ll never forget it. 🤮
Mouse pee 😂
@@TheDetailGeek Thanksgiving week my oven gave out so I had to replace it. Apparently some mice had gotten into the spare oven and we didn't know until we turned it on to test it. The smell of warm pee/poop/baby mice? reeked of death. Oven was thrown out the door and husband lost his dinner in the lawn. Will never forget that smell.
You couldn’t be more right! I’m light years ahead of where I planned on being at this point, the car is now living in my garage instead of the Quonset I had it in. Incredible experience with Mitch and incredible job done on this. I’ll be picking him up for a tour when it’s going!
@@El_Nolo That's wonderful! Hope you make a video when you do!
I'm happy you had the reverence for the car, and that the new owner is putting it back on the road. It kills me how people get these classics, get tired of working on them or get in over their heads and put them in a corner somewhere to rot. Good job on this one.
My husband and son rebuilt the motor of a 2006 Subaru forester as my daily driver , it had sat out side and was a mouse motel for years the mice nest were everywhere, even up in the headliner air vent system! Oh the smell was horrendous. I shudder when I saw the nest you dealt with. I was in charge of cleaning and detailing the inside. I learned how interior was built and how to take out install. The smell is the most terrible. And can’t imagine doing this more than once.
Love his reaction! Beautiful car.
I owe DG an apology. The way this car looked at the beginning made me question how good it could look after being cleaned up. This is amazing. I hope it can be made road worthy soon. It will surely turn heads.
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
A valiant effort as always.. Good call on just replacing the carpet. New OEM parts for these early Mustangs are easy to find. There are retailers out there that specialize in remaking just about everything on the car.
Looks like it has good bones - should come up pretty well, provided there isn't too much hidden rust....
omg i wish i had a man with that ... car
Fabulous work
Mike you did one heck of a job on that Mustang big guy, bloody well done you.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Do you get inside the glove compartment??
Great job, Mitch! You turned a Mouse-tang back into a Mustang! 😁👍
30:16 you could tell he wanted to touch it but then thought twice about leaving fingerprints or smudges 😂
fantastic work...incredible result, a TEN 💯💯
Dude, don't leave us hanging! Did you catch the resident mice? 🐁
I caught the grey one in the Studio, Nolan caught the brown one a few days later 😄
Would love to see more classic cars you clean up. I enjoy these. Chevelle or Charger is definitely on the preferred list.
Great job on cleaning this one up and back to her beautiful self! Wish I had one like this myself!
classic stangs are my absolute FAVOURITEEE cars so when i saw this on your page, i was so excited to see you detail it. this is amazing!❤️
I love most of the 60s muscle cars, but my absolute favorite has to be the 67 Camaro Convertible. I absolutely fell in love with it the first time I saw one.
Fantastic work, as always! I would love to see a follow up. Maybe you applying a ceramic coating on it when fully restored?
You said Cleveland motor and my answer is yes, I would love to own. Maybe one day.. maybe one day I can come across a barn find like this.. You did a good job cleaning it up!
Nice job! Amazing no holes in the floors.
Absolutely amazing. I can’t believe it only took 16 hours. My friend has the same car (different color) & he is in a car club. They really keep their cars in amazing condition.
On a bright note, they have some pretty cool tools today to use to properly flush out that engine, the cooling system, etc. Hopefully Nolan is or knows a good mechanic shop where they can do it right.
Curiosity question Mitch. Those mice had to have gotten into the dashboard and the ventilation system, did/do you clean that out too or leave it up to the owner to pull the dash and deep clean.
A *_long_* time ago a friend and I were scavenging abandoned warehouses and found a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda, if you've ever seen the Phantasm Movies? It was just like that car. It was all original and had been stored or hidden in the warehouse for a long time. We cleaned it up and even got it running, but some of the more extensive work that we couldn't do was done by the collector we sold it too. We got almost 18K for it back in 1982!
The guy still has it all this time later! It is an AWESOME car.
We also found a Porsche, it was the original drab green, had leather and mahogany interior, the transmission was in the trunk! The body was like a frigging tank too. There was no rust or dings or dents. We got the Cuda and the other group took the Porsche. They got *_WAY_* (almost 35K!!!) more for that one, but we still made out like bandits for 16 year olds.
Well done Mitch, it's amazing transformation, great job!
My ultimate dream car is a 64 Chevy Impala, been in love with that car since childhood. Great transformation as always!
I have owned two 1966 Mustang coupes. One with the inline 6, 3 sp manual, and one with a 289, 4 speed manual. Enjoyed both.
INCREDIBLE! Wow, this video was like an early Christmas gift! Would love to see a follow up when the full restoration is complete!
The mice must be devastated to lose their sweet ride tho...
Great show Mitch. 👍👍
Amazing transformation
Amazing job. It would be great to see an update once it’s fixed up and restored!
