Kyle and Keith Young – Restoring Cars in the Street

Most people fix cars in a garage, but as reported in a Butler Eagle article, Butler, PA, brothers Kyle and Keith Young have created an enterprise restoring Mustangs in the street.

The Young brothers hunt down Fox body Mustangs in their spare time, which were built from 1979 until 1993. They then use their modest income from their day jobs to maintain and restore these cars on the street in front of their house before reselling them. The brothers have bought, fixed, and restored seven of these cars in the last five years. The article notes that Keith once traded a running car for one that did not just to keep it from going to the junkyard. There is money to be made too. The brothers once bought a car parked out in a field from a friend, restored it, then sold it for $10,000. They are currently restoring two cars, one of which they are looking to sell.

The desire to restore them comes from a love of the model. “I feel like we’re saving them”, Kyle said. The brothers hope to be an inspiration to children at a nearby school and anyone else who passes by and to show what is possible. The brothers noted that the passion for restoring cars is going away and hope to prove that it can be done with little space and money. The Young Brothers, who are in their twenties, practice entrepreneurship by creating value with little and show that innovation can happen anywhere.
