Back in the 1950s and 1960s, cars were considered fairly disposable, and owners felt blessed to get more than 5 years or 100,000 miles out of any particular vehicle. However, some people from the 1950s and 60s had the foresight to realize that these cars could be worth a pretty penny someday, keeping their cars all-original and never selling them, thus earning the desired “one-owner” moniker.

We’ve heard of some pretty impressive one-owner Ford Mustang stories, but over at Petrolicious is a similar story with a unique twist. After 48 years, the original buyer of this red Ford Mustang returned to the Quebec dealership he bought it from in the first place…to sell it back. Crazy, right?

The story was told by Felix Dionne, whose grandfather started Automobiles Val Estrie Ford Lincoln back in 1962 before passing it down to his sons (including Felix’s father). As the story goes, a customer named Mr. Baillargeon bought the red 1967 Mustang convertible brand new, and he managed to keep the 289 V8-equipped pony car in exceptional condition. It’s all original and nearly spotless as far as we can tell, from front to back. It literally looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

And here comes the twist.

As it turns out, Mr. Baillargeon decided it was time to turn in his Mustang, and rather than sell it on the open market, he brought it back to Val Estrie Ford instead. The story doesn’t specify how much they paid him for it, but it’s clear from the plentiful number of pictures that it was probably valued at the top of the scale. We doubt it’ll end up outside with the rest of the used cars though.
