Moldy Ford GT Supercar Left To Rot Starts Up, But Probably Shouldn’t

Just like seeing a Dodge Viper left to just sit and rot, it’s hard for us to see a first-gen Ford GT supercar allowed to mold inside a garage for a decade and a half. We remember the excitement these special machines generated when they first came out, with people lucky enough to snatch up one of the only 4,038 made act incredibly grateful.

A ’65 Ford Mustang barn find is really a hot mess.

That was around 20 years ago and a lot can go down in two decades. Unfortunately, we don’t get the backstory for this supercar at all. Why is a mystery because it’s not even mentioned. Instead, the guys in the video are more of a focus.

One of the most interesting things about barn find cars is the backstory. Without that, it’s just a thing that’s been allowed to sit. We bet there’s one hell of a story about why this Ford GT was just parked, considering it happened only a few short years after it was originally purchased.

The guys who rescue this barn find Ford GT sure are a far cry from Dennis Collins or anyone really savvy about this type of work. They stop at the Home Depot to get plastic suits to wear over nice clothing, instead of just wearing grubbies, and drive a Lamborghini Diablo SV there. But the one is still wearing his nice loafers while climbing over piles of junk stacked up around the moldy supercar.

This is what happens when influencers try doing blue collar work.

Also, we’re getting Breaking Bad vibes when Walt and Jesse bumble around trying to stay ahead of the law while wearing a similar getup. We certainly hope these guys were just trying to ham it up for the camera.

But wait, it gets even worse. Without even pulling the dipstick or checking any other fluids, these two fire up the V8 and drive it to the awaiting wrecker. Yes, they did that and you can scream inside your head or out loud, whichever you prefer.

As an aside, it is pretty amazing the Ford fired up like that. Hopefully no damage was done, but it isn’t our problem, thankfully.
