When Dustin and Brito saw a photo of this 1969 Shelby GT500 sitting in Mike's garage, they knew they had to work on it. With its iconic Gulfstream Aqua paint and muscle car heritage, it was a no-brainer.
This car has survived a fire, years of hard driving on the racetrack, and, most recently, having its electrical system ripped out. Mike never finished wiring everything up, and it's been more than 30 years since he started.
Can the guys finish the job and get this car back on the road?
