This is a 1978 Ford F-250 Lariat edition that is receiving its first wash in 42 years after sitting in a barn in North Carolina. This Ford truck has 139 original and has been lost on a farm for 42 years after 1 quick drive in later 1978. By disaster detail standards, this is brand new. Untouched. The owner drove it once to drive his daughter to work in the snow...then put it back in the barn. The F-250 is the lowest miles Ford Pickup Truck in the world. I performed a "preservation detail" to keep the condition authentic to the day it was picked up from the dealership. After a proper car wash and light polish, I added AMMO Skin paint sealant instead of a paint coating (AMMO Reflex Pro) to allow the new owner flexibility in how they choose to protect the paint in the future. The before and after is wildly satisfying and the final result is amazing. For a full list of products visit www.ammonyc.com. Thx for watching! -L

@markmiller5508 2 года назад

I worked in Ford parts departments from 1978-1986. The "D9TA" prefix on the muffler part number designates it as a 1979 part. It's quite possible that some change occurred (during the 1978 truck production) to the muffler's design, materials or location of manufacture that required a new part number. Also, I may be wrong on this, but the 1978 and 1979 models had basically the single opening grille but rectangular headlamps came on the 1979 model. Not sure about that. If the truck was built in March then it was probably pretty close to one of the last 1978 models built before producing 1979 models. I remember selling many parts for Ford pickups and this one really takes me back to those days. It's so cool to see one preserved in original form!

@Bad_Moon_Rising 2 года назад

They must have been switching over in 78 to the 79 front end. I'm almost sure that there were still split grills and round headlights still in 78. I didn't think the pull out gas cap door started in 78 though. Love that truck !

Absolutely! Judging by the website this truck is on and the prices of other vehicles, this truck is probably gonna fetch over $100,000. Bananas! This has to be one of the rarest barn finds I've ever seen. There's a Bronco on that site with 81,000 original miles on it and the sticker price is $119,000! How on earth does one let a brand new vehicle just sit like that? I can remember the first brand new vehicle I bought. I was so excited to have purchased it that I put 10,000 miles on it in 6 months taking road trip after road trip. I can see letting a Ferrari or Bugatti sit with little to no miles for appreciation but a '78 F250!?!? Why?! These trucks were made to be put to work.

I worked for Ford between 1967-1997 in the Atlanta assembly plant. The 868 # probably was the line sequence #. Starting with 1 every day. Most likely on 2 ten hour shifts at the rate of 60-66 vehicles an hour. Meaning it was probably built half way through the second shift.

@markiobook8639 Год назад

well, I think we can assume just about anything rubber in contact with a corrosive like with brake fluid will need at least thorough cleaning, and likely new brake lines to be road legal (the old brake fluid often turns a dusgusting powder). Radiatir, block and heads will have to ge checked for corrosion in the galleries, and likely the crap rubber on the sparkplug leads would have cracked. Every old 1960s-1970's car I restored or wrenched on (Rover, Jag, Rolls, some old Vauxhalls (not mine) Land Rovers, Patrols, Landcruisers) were like that. Mercedes were surprisingly good on rubber being inventors of synthetic rubber. I did break a 1950s Benz bakelite distributor cap and boy was replacing it painful. Massive hip pocket hemorrhage. I used to my sons' and friends low cost mechanic, my fees were sixpack of decent local beer per 2 hours or less, 2 hours+ a 6pack an hour, parts their expense or paid off ober a year. Kept all the kids' and their mates in safe, fully dependable, operable cars, I was fastidious about brakes (being a veteran of radial tyres and driving too damn fast). The ones I restored were sold on for sending the youngsters through school, extracurricular activities etc. I generally didn't do bodywork, I had a mate with a full chassis jig in his body shop who'd do it for free for me doing his customers' mechanical work. Squeazy, oily and greasy, but much less pain to hip pocket.

@DG-sf9ei Год назад

Cosmetically and historically this is a gem. However it'd be a mechanical and financial nightmare, dried up deteriorated gaskets and seals from everything to the engine...brake system... steering... Transmission. Not to mention a corroded gas tank in need of replacement because it never had newer fluid flushed through it in over 50 years just like oil in the engine. Everything that was near the floor like brake system and suspension would also be rusted and permanently seized together because it was never moved, and it sat there for 50 years absorbing moisture from the floor. There's a reason the creators of this vid don't show this truck running or them attempting to run it, because it couldn't without thousands of $$$$$ thrown at it. You'd be better off to buy a truck in these years which has alot more miles and has been maintained and stored, than something cosmetically preserved like this and mechanically neglected due to a previous owner who was scared to drive his new truck from a 1/2 century earlier. This is fact, because I know a local car collector who thought buying a 1950s Cadillac with extremely low miles like this would be the ultimate barn find. What he did find was more mechanical problems than all the previous classic cars he ever bought combined. Yet the dumbest part is that these mechanical problems from vehicles not being moved usually involved obsolete not commonly replaced parts that never were available on a wide market even throughout the vehicles heyday, because vehicle parts are supplied by demand, and demand is created by all the consumers with problems because they drive their vehicles.

That is absolutely incredible! It's just hard to believe someone would let a truck sit like that, but I'm glad he did because now it's a museum piece. I remember back in the '70's, people bought trucks (myself included) for work. Most of them were worked pretty hard, and didn't last very long either. Back then, the quality wasn't all that great and they needed constant repairs and maintenance. My '74 F-100 was no different. You would buy a vehicle new, then take it back a time or two, to sort out all the issues, that was just normal at the time. Then it was just constantly fixing things that broke and leaked, it's just how it was at the time and we really didn't think much about it.

I love when you detail older cars/trucks. It’s satisfying watching the transformation! Great video!

@maulenaspencer4906 Год назад

That was amazing. I don't know the first thing about cars, but to see how beautiful they got this old truck really is something. I was thinking the same thing, that this truck waited 40+ years to get this really good bath.

@eddysmith9318 Год назад

That is one sweet truck. That particular body style of Ford pickup trucks is always been one of my very favorites. 👍

Larry this was an outstanding video! I owned a 79 Ford truck like this that I bought back in 88 from the original owner with 40K miles! It was the same color two tone like this one but the colors were inverted. It was mostly the dark brown, hood, roof etc but the tan in the side panels between the chrome! It was in amazing condition when I bought it and I drove it to work for 20 years until I bought a brand new truck! Strangely enough even after driving it 20 years it still looked great when I sold it. This video sure brought back good memories of a very cool truck!

I'm a 70 year old Ford guy and this blessed me so much. Unbelievable! This is by far the coolest detail I have ever seen on the rarest vehicle find I have ever seen. Hope it goes to a museum for Ford fans (and others who appreciate old stuff) to admire for life of our planet. Fantastic drtailing sir!!!

I absolutely loved every second of this video! This makes me want to look into more car detailing stuff so I can preserve my 97 Ford F250 better

@quidsey 2 года назад

OMG I thought I'd never see one of these again!!! When I was 18-19 (a million years ago) I dated a guy who bought this exact truck but it was lifted with gigantic tires on it. I legit could not get in it without being picked up or using a ladder. Because of the color combo I named the truck Big Odie (Odie the dog in the Garfield cartoon). This truck zapped me right back to 1983-84.

@7477238 2 года назад

I love this series because of the history of the vehicle and the owners and how Larry approaches each detail differently based on what needs to be accomplished. That's the beauty of the detailing world, it's dynamic in what products you choose, what methods to use and working on just about everything you can get your hands on.

@lifestylebyav5683 2 года назад

sometimes the plain water power wash itself gives us a clear hint of how good the final restoration is going to be ... foam spray & further detailing is an obvious icing over the cake . Such a pristine machine coming at hands for care after sitting for 40+ years is no less than a miracle. Another awesome vid Larry ... loved it 👍

@1965ask Год назад

Absolutely stunning restoration and that it has only 139 miles on it !!!

@lawrencetrapani5623 Год назад

Love These older trucks and have been driving them since they first came out and still my favorites today! Simple practice and always Kewl! I have Bumpside trucks, yet have also had dent sides as well. My Daily is a super clean survivor, 70 sport custom camper special with all the options. 74 years young here and the truck is a constant reminder if how easy life was back in the day! Thanks for the Video

The wax pen marks were various inspection stations. Those would correspond to a specific person on different shifts at different stations.

very very cool. i’m not a mechanic or even a car guy but i certainly can appreciate something as rare as this 78 lariat. it’s interesting that it’s an F250 and also has Ranger in the title. great work on this truck 🤙

That truck is absolutely beautiful, it’s in amazing condition and the leather inside hasn’t cracked at all either My grandpa had one of these too but his was like a turquoise blue and he used the hell out of it, it was still in really good condition other than a bit of rust on the edges of the wheel wells but nothing serious

@parkerhowell7560 2 года назад

It’s vinyl and cloth. They weren’t putting leather into trucks till the mid to late 90’s. The vinyl on the doors are actually molded to look like it has stitching for a ‘luxury’ touch.
