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. |

2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 fills an F-150 Raptor-sized void
Tue, Dec 16 2014Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150. The fantastically named VelociRaptor package has been available on the regular Raptor for the past few years, taking power up to 600 horsepower or more, depending on what the buyer desired. With the latest one, the performance truck is now based on the aluminum-bodied F-150, specifically the FX4 Super Crew model with the 5.0-liter V8. "Having Ford's world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement," said founder John Hennessey in the company's release. The heart of VelociRaptor is the Roots-type supercharger running at 8 psi on the V8. With help from upgraded fuel injectors, a proprietary engine management system and stainless steel exhaust, it boosts grunt from a stock 385 horsepower to over 600 hp. To make sure that power gets to the road, the package also includes 33-inch BFGoodrich mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels. For buyers in need of more, the company offers optional parts including an off-road coilover suspension, different front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bar and Brembo brakes. Speaking to Autoblog, Hennessey said he feels confident that the latest VelociRaptor could do high-four-second sprints to 60 miles per hour, compared to the outgoing model in the low-five-second range. Prices for the VelociRaptor start at $73,500, which includes the donor F-150, and orders are open now. Actual deliveries should start by March at the latest, according to Hennessey. The company also plans to offer a similar package for EcoBoost F-150s later. Scroll down to read the full announcement about this muscle truck. Introducing the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Texas tuner adds power and improved off-road capabilities to Ford's all-new aluminum bodied pick-up trucks December 16, 2014-For immediate release Sealy, Texas-For the past five years, Ford F-150 truck enthusiasts have had the special opportunity to own the SVT Raptor. With 411 hp and baja pre-runner capabilities, the Ford Raptor was one of the most capable 4x4's ever built. Sadly, Ford Raptor production has ended, leaving a void in the market for 2015.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
