This man has an outrageous amount of Ford Mustangs in his collection.
Known as ‘The Mustang Guy’, he buys, restores, and repairs Fords from his home in Maine, US.
Rather than a collection of pristine condition ponies, however, half of his cars lie in ruins in his field.
These are his ‘donors’ that he keeps for their rare parts.

The Ford Mustangs of The Mustang Guy
Emery is the owner of Central Maine Mustangs and was visited by Backyard Barn Finds.
He’s known for his restoration work and has a plethora of amazing cars in and around his workshop at all times.
Ford Mustangs make up the majority of his cars, owned by both him and his clients.
One is a turquoise 1966 Hertz, originally an automatic but converted into a manual.
Emery is currently helping the owner restore the GT350H, which was a series of special Mustangs made for the Hertz rental fleet, back to its stock look.
He’s also looking after a Mach 1 for a friend, an ultra-rare Mustang that can sell for around $97,000.
In his yard, there is what looks like a car graveyard at first glance.
But rather than letting these Ford Mustangs rot like some neglectful owners, these are his donor cars which Emery uses for parts.
And while they don’t exactly have a tree growing out of the middle of them, the grass around them is pretty overgrown.
The shining star of the Stangs
One of Emery’s most prized possessions is his ultra-rare 1970 Boss 429.
It’s in Grabber Orange with a white interior, only a handful of which were ever made.
Its first owner used to drag race it, before de-dragging it and trading it in for a pickup truck.
Now the orange Mustang sits in Emery’s shed, waiting for its chance to be restored.
He’s been collecting parts for years but says that sadly this model has some of the most expensive parts in the game.
In fact, seeing as he began part-hunting 15 years ago, who knows when this Boss 429 will get a second shot at life?
