Looks like he was raised right.

It’s hard to let a beloved old car go, even if it’s in bad shape. That’s why this couple in Australia kept the Ford Falcon XA Superbird they purchased brand new in 1973, even after it was in a rollover crash and sat on their farm for two decades. We’ve featured many cars which have sat in the elements, rotting away, which is a sight that saddens and even angers enthusiasts. Thankfully, this story involves the Ford getting a full restoration thanks to the son.

Tommy decided his parents’ muscle car had sat in a state of disrepair more than long enough. He took on the restoration work and took five years to complete it. When all was said and done, he dropped $106,300 breathing life into the vehicle. Not everyone has those kinds of financial means, but if you do it’s a great way to spend the money.
