I’m having flashbacks, Alex! I was a Mustang guy before I was a Mercedes guy and I owned a ‘93 5.0 LX back when they where new and years later worked at a Ford Performance shop and specialized in Fox body Mustangs. I’ve worked on lots of these cars and this one is very clean for its age and I would almost say that it’s 43k miles just looking at how clean the interior and undercarriage looks. So sad that someone let this car sit outside but it’s going to be a nice resto! Can’t wait for more updates.

Alex, great to see you having so much success with your channel. I recently finished doing a full resto- mod on my 1992 5.0 that I have owned off and on for 20 years.

My oldest sister had a brand new 1990 Fox body GT, that was strawberry red with the five speed transmission. We went to Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga Tennessee, and I helped her pick it out. Even though it only had 225 HP and 300 lbs of torque, it was a very fun car to drive. It's hard to believe that we have cars like my Chrysler 300 SRT8 now, and the 2021 Super Stock that I just sold that had over 800 HP. That was a little bit too much for the street, but damn it was amazing how quick you can hit triple digit numbers on the speedometer. My wife said that I was going through a midlife crisis whenever I bought it, but she helped me get over it really quick after she drove it the first and only time. LoL That's okay because there is a RAM TRX that I have my eyes on, I'll have to hide the paperwork from her this time. She'll never want to drive it, because she hates pickup trucks thank goodness. Great video thanks for sharing.

Thinking why not push auto tech schooling with some of the younger people ?! They could help themselves with their own cars and make a little income, if not a full time job but maybe with a excellent paying part time , side job . Not to mention an enjoyable job with gratification .Then I get back home and find this channel mentioned and had to check it out. Very well done and it has motivated me into pursuing my first love ( my 2nd love distracted me and kept me from my 1st ! but she's gone now, thank God) and that 1st was working on cars. My own and for others and to find some of these cars sitting that might just need a ignition switch or the like ?!.. and to maybe get them running and useful again would be awesome.

I recently revived my own '87 Fox, funny to watch you guys go through a lot of the same stuff that I did. In a pinch you can jump the starter solenoid to crank any Ford of this era. When you're replacing the distributor cap and wires, you should remove the sprout connector and bump the timing to 14 Degrees at idle, it wakes the stock cars up a bit, it's probably still at the stock 10 Degrees since nothing else looks like it's been touched. Can't wait to see the first burnout.

This was an AWESOME episode!! Thank you Alex and friends! Everyone LOoves an old Mustang 5.0. (These were made for modding. Mo powa and...what did ford call it? Posi Trac? Or was it True Trac? Well an LSD diff anyway. No way that has over 100,000 miles. It's 43 for sure. I think EVERYTHING on that car is from factory. Even the plugs. I also think those mufflers were either an option from OEM or were done by request for the owner by the dealer. IMHO.

That's the best way to rescue older cars n bring them back to life seeing them just sitting by knocking on the door n see if they want to sell. More than likely, they will.

That car runs so well. It's great you're helping out this young man. Looking forward to more with the Mustang.

This is the car that got me into cars! My uncle had an 89 5.0 and my mom used to drive it all the time

Ditto, my mom's 89 LX 5.0! Have a Ford sign over my garage, and there's still one blue oval parked in it.

Same here. It was certainly one of them at least. I was 8 in '89 & my neighbor had an '89 5.0 in this color. When I heard him fire it up & saw him getting in with his rat tail blowing around, I knew that's where it was at. Started listening to heavy metal & thrash shortly after also hahaha

I had a 85 merc capri 5.0 the first 15 yrs it was in a garage, after that it was sold to somebody that didnt take care of it so this car could have only 43,000 wish i had it....u guys rock..

I'm impressed you still had the catalytic converter, keys and paperwork on it. A rare find these days. We use an old boat gas cell, and an electric adjustable pump for fuel source workaround due to damaged fuel cell or sending unit. That way there's no room for error or fire... That would be bad.

Eli has a great eye for cars, you did a great deed stepping in to help him get it running. Elibest of luck with the car, can't wait for the first drive.

Hi guys, I am definitely no auto mechanic or the like, I do like to admire cars a little though, you have me hooked after just two of your videos, more so, after watching the the three of you bring to life that $2,500 old mustang, I am looking forward to seeing this to the end, and in-between do the catchup thing with some of your other videos...great show, and it's always good to see that humour while you work.

@@EliHasan my highschool quarterback drove one of those in 1988 sadly it wasn't nearly as fast as my 1,000 horsepower 1973 Chevy Camaro SS/RS. But it sure drove nice being bone stock and got way better gas mileage than my 5 mpg I got on leaded gasoline.

This was such a satisfying revival! Eli found a good one, but on the side hook him up with some “KEEPS”too. That’s if he’s been looking for something you know?

It's nice to see someone also got a car that had be sitting for a long time around the same time I did. I Got a 1992 Toyota paseo that had been sitting for 10-9 years in a garage, It started when I wanted it to but needs brake lines.
