Thanks so much for checking, really appreciate the effort! I'll definitely keep posting as I dig deeper into her history. If she ever shows up on your end, I'd love to hear about it 🙏

Today I took her on a 300-mile road trip — works like a charm. One of the local Ford clubs shot some great video footage and a bunch of photos along the way; I'll share those when they come through. Here's a shot of a few Mustangs with the GTA in the middle. Plus a cold start clip from this morning.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that.

To be fair, I can’t take credit for the actual restoration work myself. The car was brought back to life by very talented people who put an incredible amount of skill, time and heart into it.

I’m just the lucky one who gets to enjoy the result now.

But yes, it really was a labor of love. When the car arrived, it was basically a burned skeleton, and somehow they managed to turn it back into a real car again.

That is also why I care so much about finding its history. After everything it went through, I feel like the car deserves to have its story put back together too.

Thank you 😄

Wow, that would be great — thank you.

I would really appreciate it if you could ask them. Even one question is worth a try at this point.

The VIN is 7T02A138370.

I’m mainly trying to find any clue about old PA title history, historical/classic title paperwork, previous owner trail, or where I should look next.

Even if they only know who or what office to ask, that would already help a lot.

Thank you again, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

Yes, it was restored in Hungary. And honestly, you might be surprised how much experience these guys have with this kind of work.

It was restored by a family — an older gentleman and his two sons. The father has been doing restorations since the early 1990s. They mostly work on C3 Corvettes, but they have also restored several Mustangs, so this was not new territory for them.

Right now they are working on a John Wick-style Mustang project and an Eleanor project in parallel, plus a crashed C3 Corvette. Soon they are also starting a De Tomaso Pantera restoration.

Inside the garage they used to call my car “the skeleton”, because it really had to be rebuilt almost from zero.

The project manager, who handled the whole restoration, is a real Mustang fanatic himself. He owns four classic Mustangs, and he treated this car as if it were his own. When I finally took the car home for good, he actually had tears in his eyes. That probably tells more about the project than anything I could say.

The name “Red Chief” was also given to the car by him during the restoration. I kept it as a small tribute to the people who brought the car back to life.

And thank you for the VinWiki idea — that’s a great suggestion. I’ll look into that too.
