Ford Restores Car For Man Who Sold It To Pay For Wife’s Cancer Treatment
Nearly two decades ago, Wesley Ryan sold his beloved 1993 Mustang GT in order to pay for his wife’s cancer treatments.
Through a stroke of luck, his son found the car for sale back in September. So his kids all chipped in to buy it back.
Unfortunately, the car hadn’t been treated very well over the last 17 years and needed lots of expensive work. When Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford heard about Ryan’s story, he reached out to the family with an offer to restore the muscle car back to its former glory, plus add a few modern-day goodies.
On Thursday, Ryan was invited to the automaker’s headquarters in Dearborn to receive the keys to his car. He told reporters, “We are blown away and we are blessed.”
