The odds of him selling that in California and you finding it 40 miles away from your house in Michigan are astronomical. I bought my '66 in Saginaw on 8/20/1988. This Sunday will be 35 years. It's been stored in my garage undriven since it broke down in 1993 but the same day you were shooting this video mine was finally on a flatbed to an old school mechanic in Farmington. Three days later she woke up with a fresh gas tank, electronic ignition, battery, belts, hoses, fluids, master cylinder, tires and a bumper to bumper safety check. Through hard times I resisted selling and I'm glad I did. This was the second time I gave that car to myself for my birthday - the first time I was 23 and now I'm 58. Congrats on finding her.
40 miles after 40 years has to mean it is meant to be. My dad taught me to drive when I was 13 in his '69 GTO so about 10 years ago I bought one in his memory but, definitely not his as my brother wrecked my dads before my 15th B-Day.
Not the same but similar. My dad gave me his 1978 Fiat 131 Wagon when he no longer commuted and went back to driving big cars. I loved that bright orange wagon. I sold it when I had my own house and it was just starting to use oil. I regretted it. About 8 years ago I went and tried to find it again, and never could. The 131 is rare and the wagons are impossible to find. I tried leads all over the country. Looked for over a year. I finally stumbled on one that people were making fun of on a website. "Who would want that old Fiat wagon, those were horrible!" they were saying. I looked at the houses in the picture and everything looked familiar. I traced it down and it was one mile from my house! Original owner, garage kept, great shape. I got a great deal on it, and I went back to that very same web site and rubbed their noses in it! I still have it today!
My Dad bought me my 1st car back in 1983, a 1968 Mustang notchback with a locked up 289 and rusted out floor boards, we swapped it out for a 351W...good memories with Dad.
Great video I know how your Dad feels. In July of this year I was able to buy my 67 coup back that I had in high school and my daily driver for 6 years after graduation. I sold it back to the guy I bought it from with the promise that he would call me if he decided to sell it. That was in 1989, unfortunately he passed away last March, his Mom contacted me about the car and I have my car back. It sat under a lean to for 34 years still had the 1990 tag on it. Talk about a flood of memories when my wife and I sat in it that first time. So congratulations to you and your Dad, Enjoy the new memories you make together.
My father had 4 mustangs, and a 66 was one of them. I would give an arm to do this for him. He died 20 years ago. I felt like i was watching my own father. Thanks for sharing. You have a beautiful family and home. I hope you are proud.
I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS VIDEO AFTER I SAW IT SHORT AND NOW I CAN WATCH IT TO THE END... I HAD ONE OF THESE 1965 FORD MUSTAND WHITE AND MY DAD BACK IN 1965 HE HAD ONE THE SAME COLOR LIGHT BLUE GREAT CAR.. DAD IS SO LUCKY WE CANT WAIT MY SON MAX 9 YR.S OLD..WHAT A GREAT VIDEO,, THX.
Only a son would understand what this means to his father. The memories that came flooding back for your dad when he saw the car must have been overwhelming. This is the way bonds that transcend time are built. It's obvious you have a love and respect for your dad that stands as a reminder of what love of family and goodness are all about. You sir, are not only the epitome of a good son,...... You are a good man. Your dad is undoubtedly proud to have a son such as you. Great video. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
What an amazing story. I found my 67 fastback I sold 35 years ago. But he wants to much money for it. Your parents raised you right. Not all people would do something like this for thier parents. I know my kids wouldn't. Your an amazing person on the inside for doing this.
I am a former 1965 Mustang owner from 1972 (Chicago area - it was straight 6 cyl) - I used to have that car kept it for three year before trading it for a new Chevy Malibu - My son was looking at the old pictures of me and Mustang - First word came out of his mouth "Why did you sell it dad" - your story have touched my heart because my son is 39 yr old - some similarity here & this literally gave teary eyes - God Bless you son.
That's a trip! My mom's first car was a dark green '65 Mustang with the inline 6, she bought it in '71 in San Diego, the previous owner was from Chicago. She drove it until '97 her daily driver believe it or not, couldn't keep it going as my dad worked on it and he passed 2 years prior. Wish she was able to keep the car.
Just when you needed something, to remind you it's gonna be a good day! Thank you brother for sharing your experience and giving back to your dad on something that he would have no way to emotionally give back. This is a true American Muscle Mustang Story. This is what that PONY IS ALL ABOUT! My hats off to you brother! And keep these Ponys moving! This Mustang County Baby!
I know this is an older video, but man, what a survivor car! That thing is in incredible shape, how cool is it that the people he sold it to took such good care of it. Great story, you could see what it meant to your dad. 👏
I had a '66 coupe back in the mid 80s. Mine was light green (similar shade as this blue one, only green instead) and was a 289/3-speed car with cragar ss wheels. Loved that car to death...only car I ever regretted selling
Great video l love your story my first car was a 65 mustang convertible my dad restored for me when I was 8 years old l wish I still had congratulations for finding your dads old car enjoy
My Dad bought me a '65 Fastback when I was 17 years old. That was back in '81. My mom also drove a '66 Mustang Hi-Po GT convertible....Those were the dads, thanks for the mammaries :)))
PJ... WOW. Awesome job honoring your FATHER and family... Nice you never gave up. NO DOUBT your father and family WILL never, ever forget your devotion and effort... We could use a LOT more PJs in this world today... God bless y'all. :) Randy
That was wonderful. The footage shot inside the car while your folks were driving it together again was my favorite part. Hope they put many miles on it together.
I am 69 and had a Red 66 3spd on the floor 6cyl and loved that car and kind of miss it a little watching you reunite car with your dad , Great Job, my favorite truck was a turquoise & White 71 Chevy C10 like your Orange blazer in garage
Very nice video, very emotional. My Dad also drove a 66 and later bought a 67 that was destroyed the night it was brought home. It was hit by a 16 wheeler that jumped off the highway. Thanks for the memories.
Awesome, almost brought a tear to my eyes to, u r great son, u r dad must so proud, and congratulations to ur dad for raising this amazing son, thx, that's made my day
Amazing story well done ! 6 years waiting Oh My God !!! that was painful I bet ! I just bought a Rover 75 V8 which has a Mustang engine in it and it sounds fabulous. I also still own my first car a 1981 Ford Capri 2.8 since 1987 !
I had a 1970 Boss 302 mustang that I miss very much. I currently have a 68 corvette convertible which is great but the memories in my Boss keep me wanting another.
We have my grandfathers car, which hes owned for literally like 60 years a 1947 Ford Sportsman and its the best example of the car remaining its 100% like it left the factory and even has the original paperwork in the glovebox and only 1700 original miles on the car.
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY GUYS LIKE SPORTS CARS SO MUCH. I AM CRAZY FOR SPORTS CARS, AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. FOR SOME REASON MOST GIRLS ARE NOT. IT'S SO FUNNY THAT EVERY PERSON I KNOW THAT HAD AN AWESOME SPORTS CAR, SOLD IT. I COULD NEVER AFFORD A NICE SPORTS CAR. I FINALLY DECIDED TO BUY A NEW 2023 MUSTANG GT PREMIUM, AND I WILL NEVER EVER SELL IT. I WOULD RATHER WORK 3 JOBS THAN SELL IT, BECAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO BUY IT. I THINK YOU MADE YOUR FATHER'S WHOLE LIFE. THAT'S AWESOME WHAT YOU DID. A VERY KIND GESTURE.
When I started making real money, I purchased a new Mercury Grand Marquis for my Dad. His first new automobile. I remember things like that. Good memories.
Man! I wish to get my first car, a1984 Mercedes Benz 200 bought new in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The car was white with a navy blue velour interior… however, it’s a far fetched dream.
Love this story - I wonder where the two '66s (hardtop and convertible) I owned in years past are now. Hopefully my kids will track them down and they can join my 65 fastback in the garage. :) Btw, you may want to check the reverse lights and oil pressure gauge on the one you gave your dad.
I don't think I would paint that car. That's a great survivor. You won the lottery in this car search. So many people spend more time and never find them or if they do not 40 years and 40 miles away from a move thousands of miles
I wish I could do the same for my dad, but I don’t think I would ever be able to find his Mustang. He had a 1969 convertible with a 351 4V. It was a light blue with a dark blue top and interior. He sold it in 1977 and the last he heard the guy had painted it red and reupholstered the interior a different color as well. I don’t think I could afford it now even if I did happen to find it. Oh well, such is life.
Along with front discs, I'd upgrade to a dual circuit master cylinder. Both will help it stop reliably for your Dad. (He'll go through pads and shoes dragging the brake with his left foot like that.) I wouldn't have restored it before giving it to him either. It's not original paint, but it's _his_ paint. It could probably use hinge bushings on the driver's door too, but that's not urgent.
My first car in bought in 1981 was a 1967 fastback mustang . I saved my money from working in the summer time while in high school. I gave $900.00 for it. I drove it to high school 😊. Sweet memories. Keeped it 15 years. It was dark blue metallic with two tone blue interior. White letter tires with factory steel style mags on it with a 289cu engine. Even back then people would want to see it when I was driving it somewhere. I'm 61 years old now . Miss that car now.😢
My name is phillip too . In Greek phillip means lover of horses. Wish I could get my fastback back again too. Cool video. Brings back sweet memories 😊.
Very nice bro, gotta find some factory orig wheels for it though. I know it's not orig, but I hope dad won't paint it. Just bring that blue back a little and enjoy it.
Bought a 66 coupe, 289 4 sp. In 76. In was in a garage with some boxes on it so I knocked....want to buy your mustang....you have to take the trailer too. .$400. The car (gold with saddle interior) ran great and I beat it hard. The trailer was a little foldout camptrailer minus the tent and was used as NHRA official timing trailer.. Probably late fifties. Bet someone would be happy to find that now with lettering intact
The really strange thing is you'll cars the same color my car was originally daddy painted that dark blue because you have on there is exactly the same color as mine great story I love it good luck tell your pops I hope you really enjoy it I know he will
I knew a guy who had a mustang just like that named "Rudy (Rodolpho)" who I was in the service with. He also painted it this exact blue color. I'm pretty sure had stock steel rims though. Very cool car.
my dad had a '67 mustang GT convertible. 289-4 speed . he sold it in 1978. two weeks before I got my license. a local bank manager bought it and had it repainted back to its original burgundy. it was ford blue when we had it. sigh.....
My dad is a 1-owner of a 1964 1/2 Mustang D-Code: 289, 4-barrel, 4-speed manual, Rally Pac Gauges, Original Generator, Convertible, Caspian Blue with blue interior. He still has it and sitting in the garage. I don't know what to do with it - he's 84 and health declining so it's mine but I don't want it to be honest. I don't know if I should do a "preservation," job to it then sell it at auction or sell As-Is. This car is already rare with all the specs previously mentioned and being a 1-owner with all documentation. I think a preservation and sell at auction could bring some money. It's on my channel.
That’s pretty cool I know I can’t buy my 71 mu grande back because 2 weeks after I sold it the guy wrapped it around a telephone pole put the 351 c in the passengers seat
@@go46ball So you were born in California and the car was sold there and your family moved to Michigan and you found it 40 years later about 40 miles from you in Michigan? That is so cool.I live in Michigan as well.
That's awesome, almost brought a tear to my eyes. I'm 64 and my 1st mustang at 17 was a 66. Great son you are.
Same with me, 17 and a '66. In 1979 it seemed so old. My BMW x5 is now 13 years old, but still seems brand in comparison.
You're such an amazing son! Your Dad must be so proud!
His mom almost giving birth to him in it made me emotional. Guess it reminded me of my folks

This car is already rare with all the specs previously mentioned and being a 1-owner with all documentation. I think a preservation and sell at auction could bring some money. It's on my channel.
Solid Coupe bro and love the color...anything blue 🥰🙏🏽..!! 10:05....whattt...now you done it bro....miss and wish I still had my 89🦊.!!

So many odds against being near you and in that condition... and to be in a financial position to make it happen. Congrats!
That’s pretty cool I know I can’t buy my 71 mu grande back because 2 weeks after I sold it the guy wrapped it around a telephone pole put the 351 c in the passengers seat
Not a big mustang fan, but it’s a great story. Congratulations
What'd he say? Oh, yeah, "Friggin' Awesome!"

@@bighank796 Thanks for watching
@@go46ball So you were born in California and the car was sold there and your family moved to Michigan and you found it 40 years later about 40 miles from you in Michigan? That is so cool.I live in Michigan as well.
Awesome the car is back I’m the family. ❤
Right on!
Looks solid as can be ..very cool!
Wished I had done that for my dear Father!
