Teen tears up after getting surprised with car her late father built

Family members and friends teamed up to surprise a teen girl in Kentucky with a meaningful present on her 16th birthday.
Isabel Pike was surprised on Oct. 16 with a car her late father had built, and the emotional moment was captured on camera by Cassandra Weedman, her boyfriend’s mother.
In the clip, Isabel walks out of a house and when she spots the car outside, she begins to tear up while walking toward it. She later opens the door of the front seat and climbs inside to get a closer look at it.
Weedman told Storyful Isabel had told her she had dreamed of owning the Mustang her dad built.
“After his tragic passing almost eight years ago, the car sat in a garage in Louisville, Kentucky, where we found it with the help of her paternal grandfather and uncle,” Weedman said. “Surprise and shock overcame her when she saw the car and knew it was hers forever.”
Weedman shared the emotional video in a Facebook post and in a TikTok post, where it has picked up nearly 2 million views in just four days.
