Rusty Mustang sat in shed for over 30 years does something unbelievable after being brought back to life

These two men decided to bring a rusty Mustang back from the dead.

It had been parked in a shed for over 30 years and was covered in mouse droppings, rust, and dirt.

You can probably imagine the sort of state it was in.

Amazingly, they managed to get it up and running and even pulled off an impressive road trip.

Bringing the rusty Mustang back to life

YouTube channel Junkyard Finds specializes in saving cars that look beyond help.

But even for these rust aficionados, this Mustang did not seem salvageable.

After a quick inspection, it was clear the floor had disintegrated, the brakes were near non-existent, and the engine wasn’t looking hopeful.

“We gambled on this Mustang and lost,” Kevin Brown, one part of the Junkyard Finds team, said.

“This is a parts car.”

Even though it was decided the car would ultimately be used for parts, the team still wanted to try to get it going.

They soaked the engine overnight in ATP, replaced the brakes and did some serious tinkering.

Against all odds, the Mustang, or the ‘Rustang’ as it became affectionately known, roared noisily to life.

But this was only the first half of the challenge.

The Rustang takes to the road

This car hadn’t been driven in over 30 years.

That’s a whole decade longer than the Dodge Challenger which was left to rust for 20 years.

Or the mold-ridden Plymouth Belvedere that was parked for 22 years.

Once Brown had gotten a few mandatory donuts out of the way, he took the Rustang to the streets.

For a car that hadn’t been in action since 1999, it did a really good job.

In fact, it drove for a whole 250 miles without breaking down.

The only complaint?

The steering wheel vibrated so much that Brown’s hands went numb.
