Vehicle Description
This 1970 Mustang sportsroof is proof that you don't need to spend
a fortune to own a cool Mustang. With a snappy 302 under the hood,
a great color combination, and a few Mach 1 touches, it has the
look everyone is paying big money to own, all for a bargain
price.
If everyone made a list of the top 10 best-looking muscle cars of
all time, the 1970 Ford Mustang fastback would probably be on a
majority of those lists. This is one great-looking car. Finished in
Medium Blue Metallic with black stripes, it's a classic look that
worked on cars like the Boss 302 and Mach 1, and it works equally
well here. A custom hood scoop, chin spoiler, and a decklid wing
all make this car look seriously fast, and the paint job ties it
all together quite nicely. This isn't some patched-together car,
it's a solid, clean southern Mustang with straight sheetmetal, all
refinished by guys who made sure it looked right. Sure, it's got a
few signs of use, a few nicks here and there, but none of it is
visible from behind the wheel or on the roll. You'll also dig the
blacked-out grille and honeycomb tail panel, period details that
work extremely well here.
The blue interior is almost entirely new, starting with fresh seat
covers and new foam on the original buckets to make the all-day
comfortable. The carpets are in great shape with only light wear,
the door panels still fit tightly, and the dash pad looks great.
The center console houses a familiar T-handle shifter, which now
manages an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission, and there's a new
AM/FM stereo that powers speakers throughout the interior. The
original gauges have been replaced by a set of cool Dakota Digital
dials that work rather well with the new blue LED lighting under
the dash. The trunk is nicely finished with a correct mat set,
which also includes a cover for the spare tire.
Ford's 302 cubic inch V8 has to be one of the best engines of the
past few decades. Light, torquey, and virtually bulletproof, it can
be built to build big power in a compact package, just as it has
been in this car. With a Comp Cams camshaft, valves, and springs
inside, an Edelbrock intake with a Holley double-pumper on top, and
long-tube headers, it has the right parts to make horsepower.
Externally, it looks great with Ford Blue paint, shiny aluminum
valve covers, and practical details like a big radiator up front.
Monte Carlo bars strengthen the front suspension, and the lowered
stance definitely helps improve handling. The 4-speed automatic
transmission is linked to a 9-inch rear, and the suspension was
fully rebuilt with new front control arms, KYB shocks, subframe
connectors, and fresh polyurethane bushings. Flowmaster mufflers
sound fantastic, with a snarl that will make the hair on your neck
stand up, and those trick 17-inch Magnum 500 wheels carry
245/45/17s up front and 255/45/17 Nitto radials out back.
If you like the bad boy Mustang look, this is a fantastic way to
get it without spending a fortune. Call now!
