Gosh, Mitch, this one takes me BACK. I am gonna go on for a minute or two, my apologies to those who dont like long posts. My dad had a 1969 Mustang Grande, very much like this one. The "Grande" package was "meant" to be a "luxury version" of the Mustang, but, at least in 69, was the version people said "hell, no, I want the Mach one!" to. My dad's was actually bought used, he got it from a young man who had just come home from Vietnam, and "thought" he wanted a car, (until he had one!). The car was with the vynil roof, just like that one. My dad's car had a 390, which was a HECK of a lot of motor for that Mustang, and it sure gave the car the ability to get up and go. The car started out as my dad's pride and joy, and I recall some guy in a Camaro wanting to race my dad, but, dad wouldn't, cuz my sister and I were in the car. (speaking of which, that carpet? I recall that carpet VIVIDLY. Mitch, that was so long ago, I was able to kneel down in the back, ON that carpet between the front and rear seats. (I know, it IS a small space. I can also tell you there were two bolts on that tunnel holding the drivetrain in place, and they would warm up significantly. That Mustang may have had the leather added to the doors and dash, I don't know. I also did not see the clock (broken) on the glove box. As I said, that was my dad's pride and joy, and then, it became "the work car", and then it became the only car, and then, it became the broken down car in the garage. When I turned 16, I was given the car. My dad told me the only caveat was, no racing if I could get it running. I never could. Like that car, the steel used back then was pretty crappy, your man is going to be in for a huge challenge to get it back in good order. One my car, the frame cracked, and was rotted so badly, it was not worth fixing. We were going to have it towed away, for twenty five bucks, as scrap, until my dad told the guy that there was a 390 in it. He gave us 500 bucks (in 1984). I have always thought I wanted to get another Grande, and restore it, but, it's just not worth it. Truth be told, I don't miss the car, it just reminds me of my dad. He passed away in 1986.

You might be surprised how easy frame repairs are on these. A friend had a 6 cylinder Mustang that was a rot box. He found a pristine but accident damaged 68 Falcon with a 289. He swapped the subframes between the two cars in his driveway in under a week. Personally I would have fixed the Falcon.

Hi, I am a Brit in the UK, I am 67 years old but many years ago I owned a few Mustangs. a '66, a '65 Fastback and a 70 Mach 1 which was my favourite,. its was first bought in Florida by a Colonel at the Kennedy space centre. '65 and 66 were great but the 69 somehow lost the nice lines IMO anyway. Then in 70 they got it back then lost it in '71 with the bread van shape.

This made me quite sad. 35 years ago I was 20-years-old and had a '69 Mustang coupe--just like this one--that I had wanted to restore. But it sat too long at my mother's house and she told me it had to go and so, having no other choices and a complication with the title, I was forced to sell it as a junker for $100. I think about that car often and this video hit that disappointment all of those years ago and all of the ongoing disappointment since. I'm loving these videos, though. Remarkable transformations.

Always get your car running before you invest in cleaning it (or give it a quick wash yourself). Finishing comes after your'e done with the mechanical. Also, if the paint is failing, there's really no concern if you take any off with the pressure washer. In fact, it's probably better to remove all loose paint now, so the owner can primer it and keep it from rusting out while waiting for the bodywork and final paint job.

I once had a used powder-blue, ‘68 Mustang, ragtop. It was a real cream puff and I loved it. There’s nothing like a clean “classic” car. When cars were mechanical, not computers you drive. Warms the cockles of my heart. 💕😎

as much as i am looking forward to electric cars when it's more out there with more brands, seeing classic cars just hits the spot

Sitting here, watching you work on an old classic, shaking my head at all the mouse crud you removed from the inside. Especially the fur nest. Loved what the carpet looked like after you finished shampooing the carpet. Looked really good. What a beautiful result. I really hope he enjoys driving the girl once she is finished. Well done.

This reminds me of a dear friend driving me in the same vehicle as this, we were going to a conference and she was driving, she had to stop suddenly (I was wearing my seatbelt, her arm shot across me like we were in a car with no seatbelts, dearly missed Diane RIP 👊🏾💩☹️

Great job revising that worn out horse. Would like to see it after restoration

The owner from THIS detail actually has a good reason as to why this car got this nasty, unlike other owners on past details, who seem like they're just dirty people who don't take pride in the cars they own. I'm impressed with this one Mitch. You did a great job.

Thanks for keeping this beauty in its natural factory built look. Too much customizing would ruin the look. It's an old car that looks like an old car but now it's "clean"

a tip for doing complex work above a grate. a simple piece of plywood or cardboard to cover the grate is always overlooked. if you don't want it in the grate, cover the grate

Loving the barn find videos! I was thinking - maybe some Halloween type episodes where you detail a hearse or some other type of vehicle that fits the spooky vibe of that season?

The exterior was as good as it can get until the body shop does their thing but the interior looked amazing! Nice work 🤙

The level of rust on that classic Mustang is pretty severe. It’s amazing how you managed to bring back its original color and shine. What products did you use for the exterior restoration?

That is not even a run of the mill Mustang. That is the luxury biased Grandé. The rear window treatment is different. All in all, a very sharp triple black example. Well done you.

Love these saving grace details! Why not have a lift installed so you can easily access the bottom portion of the cars?

I’m a fan of your channel. These barn find cleanups are my fav. But classic Mustangs have a special place in my ❤.

Also gave the two old mustangs names for the red one ruby rose and the black one Blake midnight

Great ride & good job. Note for self: If some day I buy a vintage 🚗 & I can't work on it immediately, I'll disassemble it, clean everything & then store it in a climate controlled, critters free container. Just too much damage (& loss of value) with barn storage.

Nice. Polishing! I would like to see more paint correction. You definitely helped this old beater look a lot better.

It was ROUGH, but looks decent now 🤣

Great job on that. The interior looks pretty good which will cut a lot of time and expense off the restoration. Now the owner can see what he has to work with. Looks very doable.
