Son Surprises His Dad When He Buys Old Mach 1

July 2, 2015

Heres what the son had to say about this gift:

“24 years ago my dad, Rick Lookebill, had to part ways with his first car, a 1972 Mustang MACH 1. Over the years he has talked of wanting to locate it and we even ran across it once in Clinton, Illinois in 1999.

Recently, he has had a “spark” in his interest of finding it and we were able to locate it for him three weeks ago. However, all he knew is that we located it…there is much more to the story however. This car belongs to no one but him and he deserves to have it back in his possession. So…WE acted on that and brought the car back home to Indiana from Florida this week and put the keys back in the hand they belong in. Oddly enough…nothing has been done to the body of the vehicle since he watched it leave his house 24 years ago!! Today, needless to say, was a GREAT day!!!!
