Vehicle Description
1970 Ford Mustang Convertible
The Mustang name, of course, was born with this car, allegedly
because aviation enthusiast and Ford Executive Stylist John Najjar
Ferzely felt the car resembled a P-51 Mustang airplane. An
alternate name-origin story suggests that designer Philip Clark
came up with it in reference to the wild horses he saw on a
cross-country trip. The horse angle, as opposed to the plane angle,
is the one that stuck in the end.
For consignment, and your enjoyment, this 1970 Mustang convertible,
stated as all metal with its original power top. A well maintained
version that you can hop into and turn the key and the fun begins
immediately...without even turning a wrench!
Exterior
A pastel yellow respray around 9 years ago covers the exterior and
is dotted with a flat black hood scoop. The original convertible
top is in good condition and drops and raises via a
switch...effortlessly! Consigner states a new front bumper, grille,
tail light bezels, hood scoop, mirrors and badges.
Interior
Recovered seats, front buckets and rear bench, look showroom new.
Also, a new dash has been installed, and again its presenting as
showroom condition. Carpeting has a bit of fade, but otherwise
nice. A new AM/FM radio was put in, and original steering wheel
fronts the new dash.
Drivetrain
Signs of dust and patina shows up under the hood but the original
200ci inline 6 sits proudly in the engine bay. This is backed by an
automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust and rust through can be seen on the front of the
floorpans, with various layers of metal, bondo, and undercoating
de-laminating. This same phenomenon is seen on the rocker panels in
a small section on each side. A new power steering rack has been
installed, and all brakes, hoses and brake lines have been
inspected, and replaced as needed. A once over of the whole
drivetrain with needed service was performed recently as well.
Not a Mach 1, not a Boss 302, not a Boss Snake, just the everyday
man's car that wants to drive a classic without all the puff and
show (and expense) of the other models. Options are nice, but there
is something to be said about a car that was essentially the meat
of the 1970's sales, Just a Mustang! A once over with paint, and
new seat upholstery, dash, and mechanical fixes, we have a fairly
solid driver and enjoyment producer.
