One Moore, Oklahoma tornado survivor hasn't given up on his car after he found the vehicle up in a tree.

Jack Haden made it through the twister by hiding in a storm cellar, with his wife, who is expecting their child.

When he stepped outside, he found the town very different from how he left it. As mentioned, the entire area was leveled, with houses torn apart and vehicles destroyed.

He got inside the 2003 Ford Mustang and realized that it was still working. The car had a punctured exhaust, no roof and the windshield was completely broken.

According to KSBI-TV, the fenders were unrecognizable, but it was good enough to drive after a bit of tinkering and locals loved the fact that it stood as a symbol of resilience.
