The barn sits in Mooresville, North Carolina, known for its racing teams.
The muscle cars have been sitting there since the early 1990s.
However, the team of car enthusiasts was keen to take them off the owner’s hands.

Following that is a ‘M-Code’ with a 351 cubic-inch engine with nearly 300HP.

“The owner of that car his dad bought it from owns the local drag strip here and never lost a super stock race in that car,” Collins shares.
“Everybody in this area knows the car – they said the motor on that car is ballistic.”
He continues to rave about the car when they finally get it outside.
“Four-speed car, track lock rear diff, power steering, and power brakes – that is a serious Mustang and it needs to be back out on the street terrorizing.”
