Not sure I've ever been this emotionally invested in a car restoration video... great work!

My dad had a Black Mach 1 that we use to fix up when I was a kid. He use to run the 1/4 mile with his friends. He has since passed on and I've been looking for his Mach 1 forever. This video had me crying like a baby the entire time!

Crazy! My family owns Lonestar Muscle cars. Such a small world to see this video

Watching this video and the reaction video for your parents is really making me appreciate the mustang I have now

The 70’ has always been my favorite car

As many people identify old music to memories past people also identify with the cars they owned in their youth. Your parents had a blast in their old Mustang as they knew each other in the beginning of their life together. Selling it I'm sure was met with a tear. But for you all to find, maybe the car or not, one at least just like their old Mustang allows them to be young again! Couldn't have picked any better car to restore than an old Mustang, as parts are very plentiful. I myself have a 69 so I know what it's like to drive around in something that old. Good for all of you that brought a 1970 Mach 1 back into your parents life. They'll make a lot of new memories with it! You all should be very proud!

Your an incredible son I wish one day I could bring the same happiness to my parents before it’s to late, thanks for showing your journey. This is noones story to tell but yours and it’s extremely eye opening. When’s the next restoration project?

Great story and finally someone does the blackout treatment on the 70 Mach 1 like it’s supposed to be thank you!

the true gift to your parents is the knowledge that they raised damn fine children... That's going to sleep at night knowing you accomplished something important in life... and that is true success.

Nice to see one done the right way and not covered in a bunch of nonsense

I love watching these videos seeing people be happy

My 70 Mach1 is a mid lime metallic car with a Shacker, it was also optioned with the Argent rims. Mine is an auto and has lived in the U.K. since 1972.

0:21 - a 351 Cleveland. *_YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS_* !!!!!

Your a dedicated dude and in a world full ugliness it literally warms my heart to see people still have it in their hearts to do such a selfless act, and as a car guy it makes me even happier to see you incorporated a car into your big suprise for your folks even if it is a ford(sorry but.i had to get a dig in) good job dude, your a good son!

Man well done your Parents did a good work with you and so they surely deserve your effort i was really happy to you Dad hugging you ... can see how proud he is of you beautiful thats what life is all about , thank you for sharing

this is literally my favorite type of car. I'm glad you got it.

Awesome for sharing thanks I enjoyed ! You did a good thing, respect

I'm so glad I found this channel - I wish I could have bought my dad his dream corvette but my bank account is looking rough after I restored my VW bus. haha!! Maybe someday...

Can I please adopt you? You should know I like challengers son.

I’m looking forward to seeing those Fox bodies. I loved the emotional reveal to your parents and the video you made of getting the Mach 1 restored. Great editing and music selection too. I have a ‘92 fox coupe, just an LX 4 cylinder that I hope to restore one day.

You did a wonderful job with everything glad they will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Beautiful mustang 😍

You guys got this done just before everything got locked down. Congrats!

In the process of doing a 69 Fastback the same way that my dad got as a project in the late 90s. We lost him in January. Congrats on getting it done.

Love the story thanks very nice work 👍👍👍👍👍😊

This was awesome. Loved watching every second of this. I cant explain in words how amazing this was. And even better, the auto shop Colvins automotive is my son's name, Colvin. Love this. Can't imagine what the price tag was on everything. I'd say at least $100k easy.

Awesome Mach 1 wish I found have done the same for my dad but he passed at age 49 GOD Bless HIS SOUL. Your parents must have squeezed your neck! 😁 GOD bless yall

What an absolute Jem beautiful colour . U my friend u are a legend . Hope the car still going and running

You are such cool kids!

Great story 😎👍💜

Crazy! This car is tikingly similar (though not exactly) like one my grandparents bought new. Theirs was also a 70 Mach 1, also Lime green with lime green interior, even with a 351 (though a 4v). But, theirs had a 3 speed. I sometimes wonder where that car is, now.

I'm from angelo and think it's awesome that yall found this gem here

I bet Mark was a man's man!!💪 My favorite car I've owned was a 86 5.0 foxbody.. Currently looking... Thanks and take care*

Great story... Great surprise. I have had work done at Dripp'n Paint and Body. I live in Spicewood.

Love the greta van fleet background music

Awesome story... I lost my Dad in 2014. We both shared the same passion for cars, particularly Mustangs and other Fords. We went to a lot of cars shows together. I hope I see your dad’s car at a MCA show soon.

thanks for sharing

this made me cry harder then the reaction

Wow neat story, so unlucky that it wasn’t the one… but otoh as you said having owned 2 out of three with these specs is great and actually havin power steering isn’t so bad either 😎

Of all the great things in this video I gotta say you got a great beard sir.

This is amazing I work down the street from the guy who painted your car, great story!

I helped restore an original green on green mach 1 in Alabama I even got a photo of it when it was still green the car is gold now

New to the channel good vids on the 70 mach1👍, who was Mark and what happened?? I got so sad for some reason, made me think of my cousin who passed away at 20*

5:46 in that background they got the fast and furious car😂🤣

From the video it doesn't appear that you have the VIN of your Dad's car when he was young. If you used to have a car and kept the VIN there is a web site that with $10.00 you can tell if it's registered someplace in the US. I ran the report on the 69 I bought 2 years ago and learned at least what states it was in prior to me. It went back to the mid 90's. So it's possible to take the VIN of the 1970 you bought and learn more about it's history. Keep in mind as well that these old Mustangs had options added and removed by previous owners. Since you don't have the original VIN it's still possible that your Dad's car in his youth had things added or removed before he owned it. The story of the 1970 is a cool one!

they lay down paint great

I love the video and what you did for your parents. Just a thought, wouldn't Marti be able to provide you the VIN for the car your parents had being that there were only 3 made?

@5:12. Parents: There are no good lies son. Son: Need to borrow the truck to pick up a karmann ghia that broke down. Parents getting their Mach1: No good lies my ass!

LOVE the car. LOVE the story. LOVE the love & respect that you have/show for your parents!

I own a 70 Mach 1 that sounds just like that description. I MEAN EXACTLY LIKE THAT car and I have the Marti report to prove it. Per my Marti Report mine is that same green paint, green interior, 351, Close ratio 4 speed, with shaker, with AC, power disc brake, but standard wheel and hubcaps. Its possible the rims are not original or even dealer installed. Dealer installed rims were common especially on Mach 1s that were delivered almost exclusively with fake "simulated" mag rim hub caps. The big question I couldn't verify was his original car a 2v or 4v engine. Picture of the engine going back in looks like it has an aftermarket holly carb. Was it a 2v originally and rebuilt with a holly 4v?? In any case the group of cars with those options ignoring only the rims and 2v or 4v would still be a very small pool.

Blue morning, blue day..... Won't you see thing's, my way? Blue morning, can't ya see? What ya love has done to me🤟

Fantastic video!.... 1920x1080 *wink* *wink*

I guess the video doesn't do it justice but it doesn't look green to me. It actually looks like the color of my 1970 Mach 1 which is Medium Gold Metallic. Still nice though!

My dads dream car is a (I think 76) Chevelle. Definetly getting him one once I'm 16, 17, or 18 and can afford one.

My dad had a 72 or 73 Mach1 yellow with 429 cobra jet.

I'm currently trying to find my dad's 77 brentwood brown 4 spd trans am. He sold it in Nashville in 79 or 80 but the buyer must have lived out of state because it was never registered in tn again. No website I've went to is any help with the vin search. I'm having to call every state dmv lol. 3 down. 45 to go lol.

Amazing story. Please hold your phone sideways for video recording.

I believe that color is called Lime Gold.

Wow. It took a long time to spray. They use a slow sprayer

Awesome. I also bet it was like being a teenager again trying to drive around and not let parents catch.

What is the name of this paint? It's really nice!

You cannot check back on the VIN number?

Beautiful. Please film in landscape

What did it cost you?

5:50, what the heck is the black car behind the mach???

My dad bought a used 67 Shelby GT 500 when he returned from Vietnam in 69. My uncle borrowed it one night after he returned from Vietnam in 71 and totalled the car. I bought a 67 GT 500 in 07 with the plan of restoring it and giving it to my dad and when I finished the car and took it to him he wouldnt take it saying right close to this........" I love you son but one of them things damn near killed my brother and at my age I think I had better just let you keep it . But no hot rodding around or burning them tires up showing off for folks . If I hear you were its getting parked until you can act like a civilized man , hear me ? " Its a good thing that car can't talk , thats for sure !

wish my son would find and give me back my 69 R code ..

With the combination of 3 production vehicles and the location in which you found it the fact that it had power brakes would not be enough for me to think this is not the correct car. Reason I say this is the car had obviously been apart to paint and change the interior color. It is possible the brakes system was changed over time due to a change in camshaft that effected vacuum production rendering the power brakes useless, or any other strange possibility. I have changed vehicles from power to manual and vise versa for a number of applications and reasons over the years. Those parts are a simple bolt on.

I'd have given anything to be able to have done this for my folks... but- too many years too late.

Maybe I missed something in these two videos, but wouldn't the VIN number on the car be the evidence of being the same car?

so many colours and u decided that?!

one word............ VIN

Dude you should use your voice in Horror type video will be perfect 👌

Your parents should’ve taken a picture or somehow remembered the vin number

What’s the color code? Not grabber green?

Didn't you say argent magnum 500s.?

I have an original 1970 BOSS 302 (grabber orange) that was my brother’s. He just died and we are trying to figure out what to do with it.

Haha thats great i live in san angelo

My uncle got the blue mac1

Awesome story. Such an amazing thing to do for your parents. I'm a Texas Country/Americana Singer/songwriter. I have a song on my new album about my brother's 1970 Metallic Green Mach 1. I was wondering if I could connect to see if you'd share some of your videos or images to help my finish my music video. I can email you the song. I'm on twitter at @johndeeryband

Option could have been added

Nobody going to say anything about the black car in the background at 5:49 from transformers 4

What’s the name of the song in the background sounds like Led Zeppelin

Excellent video but it’s not their car. Very close though

Spoiler alert ! I hate to rain on anybody's parade but this is too much of a co-ink-kee-dink to pass up. Check out the fella that has the " My life " channel. If there ever was a ' Stang that matches your earlier description, . .he has it. Shaker hood, manual brakes, A/C, hand cranks, 351C 2V but auto ! Same color. But it has been pirated and is in rough shape and he also got the Marti Report for it. Oh and NO louvers either but factory stripe. OMG they could be cousins.

Luckey , luckey car .

I've tried to watch it but i can't stand when someone records vertical video and then upload it as horizontal on youtube.

What I don’t Understand is HOW Can a “REPUTABLE BODY SHOP” Just Leave the Interior Exposed while Doing all the Body Work???? Unprofessional & Unbelievable!!! & those rims!! No working for me!! Wudddeverrrrrr

Rookie restoration who leaves the interior and the side windows in a car when you're doing a color change and I hope they took all that yellow paint off since they're going to all that trouble of going down to 5000 Grit wet sand.

lets take a high impact color and paint it the color of shit.

Good story but I hate phone videos in the vertical it just limits the view if you'd turn it horizontal you can see sooooo much more. Only reason I can't thumbs up (no I won't thumbs down for that minor technicality) just wanna see the car not bit by bit.

Stop calling your dogs your kids, yikes, that's cringe.

wtf? that was a waste of time, didn't see the reveal?
