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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks
Thu, Oct 2 2014The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award
Wed, Oct 12 2016Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.
