1970 Ford Mustang Base Hardtop 2-door 5.8l on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States

This is my Beautiful Reference Grade 1970 Mustang Survivor, with
only 27,800 Original Miles! It has it's Original Paint, Chrome, Vinyl Top, Emblems, Wheel Covers,
Hoses, Spark Plug Wires, and it even has all 5 or its Original TIRES!
The spare has never been on the Ground, it has its sticker still on it. 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. *Has all its original Engine Markings in tact. *Has all under-hood Grease Pencil Markings in tact. Retains It's original Paint Inspection Stamp on the passenger inner fender. *Paper Inspection Stickers on Cowl Panel *Has the Original paint stripes on Coil Springs, and markings on the under-body. Leaf Spring Paint Markings. The Interior is remarkable with only minor evidence of wear and a few small dash pad cracks. It has a perfect headliner and the instrumentation and dash bezel look like new! It even has the Like New Original Floor Mats! Original Door Tag and Buck Tag and Factory Decals. The Trunk is all original and has been remarkably preserved. The Floor Boards are in wonderful shape with the Factory Paint Color remaining and only minor surface corrosion from sitting over concrete floors for 35 years. 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 to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
FBI Seizes Computers, Listening Devices From Ford Headquarters
Fri, Jul 25 2014FBI agents searched Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, this month as part of an investigation into possible corporate espionage. Eight devices, along with documents, computers and financial records, were among the items seized by federal agents on July 11, according to documents obtained by The Detroit News. The FBI searched Leach's home on June 20 and seized more than two dozen items in that search, Reuters reported. Former engineer Sharon Leach, a 17-year Ford veteran of company, was fired last month, according to The News, which first reported the story. She admitted to placing recording devices under conference tables before meetings. She told Ford security she used the recordings to assist in her meeting notes. She couldn't remove the devices after meetings without drawing attention to herself, leaving the devices to record other meetings. Leach has not been charged for any wrongdoing. Former federal prosecutor and Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning told The News that using a search warrant, rather than a subpoena, shows the FBI suspects more employees could be implicated. "If it's an economic espionage case or trade-secrets case, that rarely involves one individual," Henning told The Detroit News. "So the concern is if you send a subpoena and ask for recording devices, those things can be erased." Leach, Ford and the FBI declined to comment on the investigation.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
