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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-Door Pillared Hardtop
Tue, Nov 7 2023Ford's Mercury Division debuted the Marquis in the 1967 model year, as a sporty coupe based on a stretched Ford LTD chassis. When the LTD got an update for 1969, so did the Marquis, and production of that generation of the top-of-the-line Mercury continued through 1978 (the Grand Marquis hit streets the following year). The 1969-1978 Marquis was a big, imposing land yacht, and the Brougham version came absolutely loaded with affordable luxury. Today's Junkyard Gem is a Marquis Brougham from the first year of the Malaise Era, found in a Phoenix self-service car graveyard recently. This car appears to have spent decades sitting outdoors in one of the harshest climates in the country, and so it's in rough shape. The vinyl top received the full thermonuclear treatment and is mostly obliterated by now. The interior got thoroughly cooked as well. Still, its original opulence shines through if you use some imagination. What hurts is that this car was packed with most of the good options, including the mighty 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor. The price for the 460 was just $76 in this car, or around $548 in today's money. The base engine was a 429 (7.0-liter). Power numbers were way down for 1973 when compared to a couple of years earlier, partly as the result of tightening emissions standards but mostly due to the switch from gross to net power ratings that began midway during 1971 and was completed by the end of 1972. This engine was rated at 202 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The only transmission available was a three-speed automatic. We can assume that the original buyer of this car and its single-digit fuel economy had a rough time when the OPEC oil embargo hit in the fall of 1973. Believe it or not, air conditioning was not standard equipment on the '73 Marquis Brougham (you had to move up to a Lincoln for that). This one even has the automatic temperature control feature, adding a total of $508 to the cost of this car (about $3,661 in 2023 dollars). That AM/FM/8-track radio—or, in fact, any radio—was an extra-cost option as well, with a price tag of $363 ($2,616 after inflation). The MSRP for the 1973 Marquis Brougham sedan (known as a "pillared hardtop" thanks to the frameless window glass) was $5,072, which comes to $36,555 in today's dollars. Obviously, its out-the-door cost would have been much higher with all the options.
Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
