I want to throw a comment in here and clear a few things up. With this being my passion and loving the job I have, my reputation means everything to me. I’m as open and honest as I possibly can be with everyone. I relay what I’m told, just as I’m told. The car originally had many blankets, the present cover and then a large painters mat wrapped around it. Before filming the PO threw out the covers, cleaned out around the car and appears to have wiped it down. You’ll notice how nasty the car is under the bumpers and on the front valence. If you look closely you can also see wipe marks on the windows and body panels. It can be deceiving for sure, even for me. Until we pull the car out on its 30+ year old tires and not a single wheel rolls free. In fact pulling it on the trailer, they were so locked down that it bogged out my 9500 winch and ripped the treads clean off some of the tires. Not to mention the fact the engine bay looks like heck and the engine was stuck. This one looks a bit too good to be true but there’s a specific reason/reasons. We’ve rescued hundreds of cars. As I lay under the little mustang cleaning up crusty parts, I feel confident with the timeline I was told. I hope this comment helps some to understand where I’m coming from. Thank you for those that have tagged along and enjoy what we have to share. I hope you all are having a great week.

Yeah! This car is awesome! So original even with all the documents! Please restore it fully and make it look and drive like brand new! It would sell incredibly good and give so much to the classic car community.

Keep it stock, like the original hub cups and engine. Well done

I'd love to own a Mustang Coupe like this. Inline 6 with a manual sounds like a fun cruiser

Awesome. these survivors are so much more appealing, than fully restored cars. yes mechanical rebuild. But leave it as original as you can. loved it.

Hi there all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 Your videos reminds me of the best times I had working on car with my late dad Please keep them coming, you guys do great work in saving these lost and forgotten "treasures "

Great job on getting this gem running. Grandpa had a 65 that was his "work truck" for selling/delivering eggs. I used to ride with him on his delivery route. He was in and out of the trunk so much that he left the trunk key in the lock. Wore the chrome and all the raised mustang emblems off the key. When the family parted with the car, no one could remove the trunk key. My dad currently has a 66 convertible w/289, blue w/white top.

Thanks for rescuing this sweet old forgotten Mustang!!! 👍👍

Outstanding! Love that you're doing this to save these forgotten vehicles from going to the crusher (or worse!) and the way you're resurrecting them is pure fun. :)

Fantastic find! It's a beautiful little Mustang. I used to only like the V8s but this V6 is such a cool car.

😱Got dang, its my Mustang! I had that same color 66 with the same 6 banger under the hood with a 3 speed hurst standard stickshift without the console (didn't have 2 tone seats) when I was 16 years old, wow!!!! You found my car, I swear you did except for the few differences. Thanx!

Good Seeing You & Your Dad Rescuing This ‘66 Mustang, Good Looking Rig!!

I'm a VW guy but that is a cool car and in GREAT condition! Love the fact that it is a manual trans. I am guessing a 3 speed(typed this before watching to the end)?? Will you reveal the asking price?

You got me with the "lets spray some ether and see if it starts". Love that color. Great content.

I know this is an old video, but I love this channel, I love the way in the earlier videos your Dad is on the camera less, but now is just as enthusiastic as you are, your channel has inspired me to maintain and keep my 25 year old Mercedes running. I'll be going through as many of your videos as I can.

Man, I love the sound of the starter when those old Fords are cranking during a challenging start!

I have never been a fan of the Mustang, but I gotta say: You did find a Gem. I enjoyed watching this one. Keep up the good work.

I had a 66 that was that same color both internal and body back in the 80s and 90s but it had a 289. Wish I still had that car. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Good to hear this old girl run. It is so hard to kill those inline 6s.

This is my absolute FAVORITE body style of Mustang...first gen...and I've always wanted to own one with a hi-po 289 and a 4 speed in red.

I love these old mustangs. They're simple to work on.

Beautiful car Michael, looking forward to future videos about this car, Really enjoy your channel God bless

Sweet find mate 😀 Hopefully the damp hasn't made the underside and unpainted areas too crispy. Will be a neat little whip once roadworthy again 👍

That is one beautiful car! Nice job getting her running again!

I really like your videos. It's really nice to see you're getting more confident on the camera, and you explain stuff really well. Keep on the good work.

My Dad sold those new. The first Mustang in my home town 64 1/2 was his demo. It lasted a week before it was sold. it went like that for all of 65-66 they couldn't stock them fast enough. The majority of those were optioned just as you see that one. Inline 6 3 spd manual. A lot of memories there.

Now that was a lot of fun ! Love working on those old cars.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww the Mustang is amazing. Pristine for the years. I love love love the blue Mustang. You find a treasure. I'm from Guadalajara México. In my country is so incredible hard find cars like this Mustang. Hola desde México

Miss my 65 coupe, settling on my dads 69 Fastback (awesome car) which is minutes away from a frame off restomod, but the 65 coupe with a 289 and 4 speed top loader was my first mustang and for my twenties my daily driver. Was the car I started dating my future wife in. I think I’m gonna cry. Bless u saving another.

Makes me miss my 66 289 convertible

Great episode! Love old Classic rescues!

Those ford 6. Cylinders are almost indestructible. Enjoyed this start. Sitting so long the pressure plate might be rusted. No a big problem. Might as well do a new clutch and throw out bearing. Redo brakes you got a running driving car. Thank you for sharing!

I had a 67 coupe like that back in high school. Good memories. Can't wait to see it driving.

It kills me how original owners can just let these classics rot away in barns...i`d give my left nut to own one of these beauties. Nice too see you guys got this classic back up and running. I envy the new owner i`d Love to be driving around in Toronto Canada in one of these babies. great job boys.

i have the seam ford Mustang but a V8 ( 302 manual ) .i likit! can't wait to see the finish product. wish you luck !

Amazing find chaps! If you choose to let this one go, happy to take it off your hands!

My wife would love a mustang like that

She's beautiful girl. Love that powder blue. Great find...

Another brilliant piece with a great story. The paperwork is just worth so much. originality is everything. I do hope you keep it as near 'as found' as you can while making it roadworthy. Keep the dints and chips as they are part of its story. And get White Wall tyres. '60s Fords HAD to have White Walls!

probably the best old car find I have seen, that car is in pristine shape relative to the age.

Ooohhhhh yeah!! Let’s go! I drive a ‘14 GT vert with 6 sp manual. Love it.

My Brother had a’67 289, 4 barrel, 4speed, $100. 00 bondo bucket car in 1975, but what a car, we thought we were Paul Newman ripping around town. Sounds like a great plan for it, tons of Smiles per gallon, thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice find! I'd give this little Mustang a home up here in the Great White North. Looking forward to the next installment of this feature.

Congratulations! Will See you on The Next One!!

Sweet old girl that needs to be back on the road. I had a Mustang II as a kid. Does that count? 🤔😃

You check to see if it was numbers matching, did it have the original build sheet? Two good things to have for resale but one of the nicer cars you've rescued, great upload

We lived in Florida and my dad had a friend that owned a Ford dealership in Toledo so in 1965 we flew to Ohio, and he bought a new 1965 Mustang only option was automatic trans and we drove it back to Florida it had the 200 ci six was a great car. Really enjoy your videos nice to see old cars that have been sitting brought back to life.

Mint!

Love that car. Always liked the older Mustang.

The interior in that car looks pristine.

Good find! Brilliant that is is original with the documentation, fantastic. Looking forward.to seeing its journey!

Although you guys break loose engine well, it fun to see a good find with not a lot of issues.

I remember the first Mustang I ever saw . I was 9 years old ,it was a 1965 Red two door with white interior. The man had just bought it in Raleigh NC and his maiden journey ,he was driving down to Atlantic Beach . He had stopped by the store my Grandma ran to get something to drink and some snacks . I never forgot that car .

Seriously....one acorn in the carb! There must be something wrong with the critters from that storage space. What a sweet find. Looking forward to the next video on it.

This is a great find Cant wait for more content on the mustang Keep it oem

Such a great episode. I really enjoy the enthusiasm in your guys voice!

Great find!! Just a heads up...... regarding trouble shifting into 1st/reverse. The 200 6cyl for 1964-1966 came with a 2.71 3 speed manual transmission with an unsynchronized 1st gear/reverse gear. This means the car has to be completely stopped to shift into 1st/reverse. Sometimes you have to let the clutch out a little for it to "catch" in 1st/reverse for it to go into gear. A lot of people burned these transmissions up from "grinding" the gears. This may be why you're having issues.

Sweet little stang. Runs pretty good. I’d be wary of the frame underneath. Sitting like that, they have a tendency to rot out around the spring shackles, trunk floor, floor pans, etc. looks to be a good, restorable little car. Good stuff!👍🇺🇸❤️

You are the resurrection King! 👍

I helped a guy rebuild his 64 1/2 mustang,it was in mint condition and he put on a offenhouser intake/exhaust w headers and duals,sounded awesome w glasspacks,after a few years he sold it

nice car

I would love to own a Mustang of that year. I love the older models this coming from a Ford man. Lover of Stangs

That car is in excellent shape overall. Loved the video!

Great looking Mustang! My wife has always wanted a 66 Mustang to park in the garage next to my 68 Valiant.

Nice car Michael. Amazing what lurks under peoples houses.

Nice find! I've owned a 68 with a 289 for 24 years now, mines almost stock as I have all the paperwork from when it was new too. I'd keep that car close to stock too, way too original, plus the 6 cyl cars get alot of attention at shows by me, very few are around or have been V8 swapped. For the condensor issues, just swap in a Pertronix like I did, no more points to deal with. Can always go back stock if wanted. Those that want some performance from the 6 cyl cars Clifford offers stuff, even a dual exhaust for them which gives those 6 cars a unique sound.

Hi, I think it's a Sprint 200, has the wire wheelcovers and the console and I believe I saw the sticker on the aircleaner.

Beautiful mustang

Awesome that you got engine unstuck! Sounds good, my 1st car was a 1965 Ford Mustang coupe with 200 cid 6 cylinder with C4 automatic transmission. It was a fun classic cruiser, wish I had it today! Purchased May 1988 for $950.00 and sold August of 2000! Happy holidays! Peace out!

My not big ford or mustang guy but that is a beautiful car an like the color of it thanks for sharing

MY first car was a 68 mustang ,that is one clean pony

Sweet little Mustang it's real cool it's a straight drive

Love these old mustangs wish I could find one like this for my wife …

Cool find!! Love those 1st gen mustangs!! And the fact it's a manual!

What a great find! Such a beauty! You should really invest in one of those ultrasonic cleaners. They are cheap and cleaning old carbs is very satisfying :)

Be sure to add some zinc additives to the oil because today's oil does not have enough zinc to work properly with a flat tappet cam. They need a lot more zinc to prevent wear.

Lovely original car. Please don't hot rod it. Thanks for sharing! :)

A little late! Been busy with school so I couldn't watch sadly. What a awesome find man! With a good cleanup and slapping on the hubcaps she'll look great!

Awesome find, great video 😎😎😎 you have the best dad 🤩 Looking forward to a new Porsche video.

I am amazed what good condition this car remains after sitting on a dirt floor 21 years. It actually still has a floor pan!?! Great video. Terrific editing. Excellent time lapses. Keep it up 👍 mike.

She’s still a beauty! Boy a v8 would look at home in that bay!👌😎👍great find!

Nice job! You guys are awesome mechanics!

Man that car is clean

Excellent video Budget Biltz :) also lucky find for sure plus especially under house find for and looking forward more videos on this 1966 Ford Mustang too!

Love your videos! I've got to be one of those people and comment. After messing with all kinds of cars (a lot of Fords) for 50+ years, I have NEVER had one of the Ford style starter relays bad. It seems every utube (not just yours) I watch they all are bad (also never I've never had a bad ignition coil unless damaged, leaking or crushed). Cleaning out my Dad's old shop I have found 5 or 10 of these relays taken off scraped cars and none of them have tested bad. They all will pull 200 + amps. Keep the videos coming.

That’s really nice!

Awesome car ...my first car i bought was a 66 mustang 289 4 speed ....my car had pistol grip door handles and actual mustang horses embossed in the seat covering ,, i loved my car,1 was 17 years old ended up buried in parent back field up here in BC canada

I am glad I came across your channel. Really enjoy the content. Keep them coming.

Awesome find!!!!

Looking forward to seeing another less indulgent restoration of yet another classic car.Exciting guys.

such a beautiful piece. Great job, guys

Lovely car classic American car I hope you give it a full restoration; Michael from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Awesome find

Your weather is as pretty as that baby blue 66....🤔😀🇬🇧

Brilliant find .beautiful car well done 👏

I have a 66 convertible I restored. I’m the 2nd owner. I even have the factory keys like you. She was a factory order. Highland green with 3 speed manual. There’s a certain satisfaction when your done. Is yours an automatic? Sweet car man. I love old Fords!

Nice rescue! She’s a runner! First video of yours I had to subscribe! 👍👍

It´s a jewel !! very nice !!

Cool ‘66. Got an ‘05 Mustang Conv., mint body & interior. Doesn’t run. Was parked 3 years ago. Wish we were closer so you could work on it. Cheers from California.

I had a light blue 66 Mustang in High School and College (1969 to 1973). It was a 289 V8 with a 3-speed manual. It had the WORST brakes ever. I sold it and bought a 67 GTO.

Nice and simple straight 6.. They will run FOREVER
