This Mustang has led a very pampered life as can be seen from it's Stunning Original Condition. 

It was bought brand new in Noblesville, Indiana on July 2, 1970 for $3,832.50 by 
William Swhier.  It was only driven in nice dry weather and parked in a climate 
controlled garage the entire time he owned it.  In 1980 according to the inspection 
decal it only had 22,700 miles.

It was sold to Keith Swann in 1992 for $2795.00 with only 27,100 miles and was only 
driven a few hundred miles for the next 21 years which helped to keep it in it's 
remarkable original condition.  Mr. Swann kept it in a very nice environment 
however for the last few years he did not start the car causing the fuel to break 
down. 

To bring the sleeping beauty back to life in the late summer of 2013 the original 
gas tank was replaced along with the fuel lines and original plugs, and the 
carburetor was rebuilt.  

The original single exhaust needed to be replaced due to condensation from starting 
the car regularly without driving it causing the pipes and mufflers to rust out.  That 
system was replaced with a dual exhaust system using the original hangers on one 
side and duplicate hangars were fabricated for the other side to maintain a stock 
looking system.

It has it's Original 351 Cleveland and C-6 Transmission that perform as new, it does 
not smoke, stutter, stammer or leak oil. This Mustang is a real pleasure to drive.  It accelerates, steers, shifts and rides like a low mileage original should.  It is almost
like driving a new 1970 Mustang.

This OUTSTANDING SURVIVOR has most of its ORIGINAL PAINT except where the 
original owner had the drivers rear quarter repainted since he rubbed the wheel 
well lip pulling into the garage.  It is a rarely seen Color of Light Ivy Yellow.  The 
paint has excellent shine and is very smooth for 44 year old paint.  It has a few 
small areas where the paint is thin and a few touch ups, however many people 
think this is a restored car since the paint and everything else looks so new.
The Original sheet metal is completely rust free and only has a few hard to see flaws.  
They would not show up in pictures. 
The vinyl top is in remarkable condition with no tears or peeling, the color is still 
very good.

It has all of it's Original Glass that is in remarkable scratch free condition.  
Since it was not driven in the rain the Original windshield has No Windshield 
Wiper Scratches!  
Note the last state inspection sticker dated 1980.

Original Paperwork including: Invoice, 2 Ownercards, Original Title, New Car 
Inspection receipt, Paper Key tag with key numbers and Owners Manual.

As far as I know from my research, this Mustang is all original except for Spark 
Plugs, 1 AC line, Exhaust, Gas Tank, Gas Lines, and Belts.   

I am not the authority on Original Cars who claims to know everything about 
them but I have owned a lot of them and I have honestly described this car to 
the best of my ability.  I am not saying this car is perfect, it has some minor 
flaws here and there, but it is a rare, wonderfully preserved original Museum 
quality car that is a real pleasure to behold.

The only thing that I know of that doesn't work is the A/C does not blow cold.  
It had a cracked line and after we replaced it we did not charge the system.

I’m sure I have missed something but if you have questions I will answer them 
the best that I can. 

If you would like to come and see the car let me know and I will make myself 
available.

Thanks very much for viewing my auction.  I Try to treat other people the way 
I like to be treated, check my sellers feedback going back 11 years and bid with 
confidence.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets

Mon, Jul 31 2017

By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.

Jim Hackett says metal tariffs costing Ford $1 billion in profits

Wed, Sep 26 2018

Ford CEO Jim Hackett divulged in an interview with Bloomberg that the Trump administration's tariffs on metals imported from the European Union, Canada and Mexico have affected the automaker's balance sheet, adding that trade disputes need a quick resolution. "From Ford's perspective, the metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us," Hackett told the outlet. "The irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways. We're in a good place right now, but if it goes on longer there will be more damage." Hackett did not specify what period the $1 billion covered, but a Ford spokesman said the CEO was referring to internal forecasts at Ford for higher tariff-related costs in 2018 and 2019. President Trump in March announced his intention to enact 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent on imported aluminum from the three trade zones as a way to protect the U.S. steel industry. The move sent U.S. automakers' stock prices plunging at a time when they were coming off weak monthly sales reports. Separately, President Trump has targeted China with two rounds of tariffs targeting a combined $260 billion worth of imports. China has responded by enacting 25-percent tariffs on U.S. goods including vehicle imports. In the interview, Hackett said that has hurt demand for Lincoln, which has found a growing market for its luxury vehicles in China, and made the price of the Lincoln MKC less attractive to Chinese buyers. The MKC is built at the company's Louisville, Ky. assembly plant. "We've had to move people in that factory to other operations because of that trade problem," he said. It's not clear what those moves entail or how many workers were involved. Autoblog sought comment from a Ford spokeswoman and will update this story if we hear back. Ford last month announced it was scrapping plans to import the Focus Active small crossover to the U.S. from China because of the new 25-percent tariffs on Chinese imports.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
