pays an astronomical price for an old car, restores, and still is willing to do a burnout in it. Hell yeah.
"It's a car,it needs driven" DAMNED STRAIGHT... If I paid that much for an old Mustang,you can believe I would drive it every chance I got....You ARE the man....
I ran into an older gentleman locally a couple years ago when he and his wife were getting into a red and white GT500. I had to stop and ask about the car and its story. Turns out he bought it brand new 15 miles away in Washington, IL and has babied it ever since, everything original except the tires, and immaculate for its age. We talked about the car for over an hour, he let me get photos of the inside and outside, and said our goodbyes. About 2 minutes later he comes pulling back into the parking lot. His wife gets out of the car and asked if i wanted to take it for a ride. He took me around town for about 20 minutes, and even showed off its power quite a few times. It was a surreal experience.
Very impressed that you went to a lot of effort to give the previous owner a fair price for the car. That is real character.
This guy made the perfect statement; “They are cars, they need driven”. If I had the money I would do the same thing. Drive that car dude!
Best words ever said, “ they’re cars, they need to be driven.”
and that's what I tell people. If you can afford it, get it. Why save money for something you don't even know what you're saving for? Why keep is safe in a garage for a prolonged amount of time and devalue it. You don't know if you'll live to see the next day or so. Drive it. Not to mention it's always good to see people turning heads to see what you're driving and then struck a conversation with them.
I TOTALLY BUY INTO KEEPING THE ORIGINALITY OF THE CAR. RESPECT PAID
"They're cars, they need driven" Amen Bob, couldn't have said it better. I think that it is wonderful that you did what you did with the car.
Ignore the collectors, they don’t drive their cars. Listen to the specialists, they study and know the fun about the cars
This guy is a real classy guy. Integrity honesty mellow, what’s not to like. All around Awesome!!
"But they're cars...they need driven... Right?" Never a more truer word spoken. Amen brother.
Absolutely subscribe to this mentality: “They’re cars. They’re meant to be driven.” Great job!
22:40 the reveal that the dog had been filming this whole time
Was never a fan of this color, but that is the most beautiful Shelby I’ve ever seen. 100% original is one of none. These don’t exist anywhere.
$2,000 for that detail, is a really good deal. LOTS of work. Glad to see this car being enjoyed!
22:30 "They're cars, and need to be driven"... Damn straight my friend.
Leaving the imperfections of general wear make it more real. Gives it personality.
"A lot of people put them on trailers and I understand they're expensive, but they're cars - they need driven." Exactly! Now this is who should own these rare classics, a genuine car enthusiast and not an investor who leaves them sitting in a showroom.
I'm so glad people actually CARED for the rare collectible cars! They should never be left to rot. He's right, they are meant to be drivin.
