A car Daniel Allen gave up for his family decades ago has found its way back to him, thanks to his son.
Shane Allen, the youngest of six, tracked down a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 after hearing about his dad’s old car since he was a kid, according to People.
“My dad and I have talked about this car since I was a kid,” Shane told People.
Shane said his dad helped him develop a love of classic cars, and he became “a Mustang Man” himself while keeping an eye out for his father’s dream car.
He found the Mach 1 shortly before Father’s Day. Shane traded his own custom GT for it, then worked quickly to make improvements before revealing it to his dad.
The moment was posted to TikTok, where Shane said the video quickly went viral.
“I shut the camera off but wish I had continued filming,” Shane told People. “When he got out of the car, he asked me how [I had made it happen]. I told him I traded my custom GT for this Mach 1, and he broke down and hugged me.”
The reaction also drew a flood of comments on TikTok, including one that read: “Humanity, being restored … by one act of kindness at a time.”
