This 1970 Mustang convertible has been stored away for over 20 years. The registration sticker on the windshield ran out in 1993.

The last owner bought this car in 1989 just after it had been repainted and only used the car for 4 years. He bought new Magnum 500 wheels and tires in the summer of 1992 and only put 500 miles on them before he put the car away in a storage barn where the car has sat until recently. Unfortunately the barns roof gave out from the heavy snow load and rain back in February. One beam hit on the top of the drivers side quarter panel and tore the convertible top in the back. There is also a small dent in the hood next to the hood scoop. Otherwise the car fared pretty well. 


The car needs to be completely restored, but it is a nice car to start with. The motor runs good and sounds very strong. It has an aluminum intake with a fairly new 750 Holley carburetor and has an electric fuel pump mounted on the front frame rail. It has headers and a good dual exhaust system which comes out just under the rear valance. The Magnum 500 wheels and tires still look very good. 

The underside of the car will need repairs in the torque box area and the inner rockers have rusted out on the bottom. The rear frame rails look very good. The front shock towers look good, but someone did make holes in them to grease the upper control arms. The Front frame rails also look very good. The exterior needs rear quarters, convertible top material with rear window and a trunk lid. The doors, fenders, valances and hood all look savable. The door hinges will need to be replaced. 

I have a Kevin Marti report that shows the car was originally built with a 302-2V, Automatic, Power Steering, Power Top and a AM radio. This car was originally painted Yellow (color code D) with standard White interior and White top with a split glass rear window.

1970 was a low production year for the Mustang convertible with only 7820 being produced. 653 of them were painted this color Yellow and only 98 of them had standard white interior which makes it a fairly rare color combo.

Nice original dash pad with no cracks.
The front seats were recovered and still look pretty good.

I have a transferable NY registration and the ID numbers match the dash tag and the body buck tag.


If someone did some quick repairs they could probably drive this car for the summer and do the restoration over the next winter.

I changed the oil and filter, spark plugs, thermostat gasket, master cylinder and the drivers side rear brake line. I drove the car a mile down the road and back. The motor has lots of power and the transmission has a very solid shift. The steering feels responsive and the power steering feels good. The brakes still don't feel like they should so I am going to be working on them this week to get them to where they should be.

The motor starts right up and the exhaust has a great tone. The motor has had some work done to it at some point and the cam is definitely not stock. The chrome on the valve covers is shot. I checked the flat pad on the back side of the intake and found the ID number stamping which matches the cars ID number.

I have given a fair and honest description of the car, but my opinions of condition may vary from someone else's. Some parts may be repairable rather than replaced, but that would depend on your ability and skills. Please look at all of the pictures carefully and ask questions if you need more information. The car can be viewed by appointment only. 

This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. A $500.00 deposit must be received within 48 hours from end of sale or I reserve the right to sell to another bidder or re-list it. The Balance must be paid within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check, wire transfer or cash. Checks will have to clear my bank before the car will be released-NO EXCEPTIONS. The sale is final and is not open to negotiations after the sale. I can store the car for up to 30 days after the sale while transportation is arranged.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane

Tue, Jun 14 2016

Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
