Ever since turning 16 years old nearly seven years ago, Dylan Sebastian spends a lot of time in the garage at his family's home in Moody, Alabama, buffing and shining his pride and joy — a cherry red 2011 Ford Mustang GT convertible. It's a beautiful car and one Dylan, born blind and with cerebral palsy, will never see. Dylan, now 22, can't see a thing and will never get behind the wheel, but he can feel the roar of the 412-horsepower engine and the wind in his hair thanks to volunteer drivers. WVTM 13's Rick Karle has the full story in the video above.

"I have to be in the car at all times when one of them is driving," Dylan said. "And it cannot go outside in the rain or the snow."

"We take it to the car show in Leeds and then in the fall we take it to the car show at the Moody ballpark, which is coming up," he said.

The Mustang convertible has been life-changing and continues to bring joy to a young man who has gone through so much.
