The car had a full harness belts installed, but they chose to only wear the lap belt.

Which is weird, doesn't do that on his other videos.

The gray S/C'ed LS Regal is a favorite of mine BTW. :D That and the kid that had the nascar motor in the camaro with the straight cut gears.

Beautiful and Mercury Comet don't belong in the same sentence. lol
My son showed me that a week or so ago; I've got a '65 convertible, and the though of sourcing parts for a *decent* example makes my stomach turn. That one is toast.

The 64-65 had the coolest lines of any 60s car - the '65 (to me is one of the best looking cars of the 60s.

Hmm. You’re riding the brakes because your throttle is sticking, and you’re surprised when they fail? I’m just an old suburban shadetree mechanic, but I’m pretty sure if I was having to ride the brakes, I’d be getting my butt back to the barn post haste.

Shut the ignition off the moment loss of control over the go fast pedal is realized. Fix it or get a hook. It is a shame those folks just sitting at the intersection were victimized by his stupidity.
Continuing to operate anything one doesn’t have complete control over 🤦‍♂️ Damned Darwin candidates shouldn’t be out unsupervised.
