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. |

50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China
Tue, Dec 5 2017SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
