Omg the BF Goodrich tires with the black rims Omg !!! Butiful!!!!
Total respect for guys that actually drive their collectable cars.
I am a car and airplane enthusiast from childhood and when I saw this car I got major chills. Shelby in bad condition or not is worth a hundred thousand dollars. Give the owner her money. Just the emblem alone is worth a fortune! Great video!
Kudos to the owner and his approach, from end to end, having a vision and showing restraint. For my own part, I'd be like "OK let's splice in a part from a repro quarter panel to get rid of that rust." I think he did exactly the right thing...or many things. Not only is it meant to be driven, but every imperfection is part of the car's history and story. That's treasure.
That's not a restoration it's a preservation
Nothing but respect for keeping everything original. Most people would just go for the full restoration.
I'm so happy to see the kind of restoration I can appreciate! I'm also happy there are people out there with the mindset and ability to do it! ❤
I love how he didn't do a full restore & just did what he had too make it reliable. "They're cars... They need to be driven." No truer words ever said!
I love that he enjoyed driving it, with his dog along for the ride 😊
Hands down this is my favorite restoration channel! Love the narrations, it’s like I’m listening to my Grandfather tell me a story! Well done on the Shelby!
Amazing. I love the fact that you didn't restore this car to "mint" condition. This car has a history that needs to be told and all those imperfections tell it. Such a beautiful machine.
I absolutely LOVE this! This gentleman gets it. Wow. I've never met anyone who thought like I do on restoration of these classic beauties.
Man I love seeing how you restored this car and kept it true and simple, and took it back to period correct even though it was mostly there (awesome find on the 428 block). Awesome!
If you have the money to buy something you always wanted or love to do, then do it. I'm so happy for him, he was able to put this back on the road. Great job guys, awesome!! If I hit the lottery, I'd do the same thing too. "They're cars....they need driven...Right?" 😢👍
I like how Bob isn’t scared to drive it, “cars need driven”.
this makes me happy you kept it original, thank you
I actually LOVE them keeping the car closer to its real life form and not straight back to restored factory. Keeps the story and culture of the car alive.
You did that car a great justice doing what you've done
Nice to see it was kept as absolutely as original as possible in the restoration process.
Man, watching something from the mid sixties be restored and rejuvenated in 2020s and see the enguinuity and crispness of a 50 year old model is absolutely fascinating. From the skeleton to the pretty face, just wonderful. Great success!
