Vehicle Description
Here's the story on this amazing 1970 Ford Mustang convertible:
it's a real Q-code 428 Cobra Jet, four-speed car. It's the kind of
rarity you can count on one hand, and we have matching numbers and
the Marti Report to prove it. But more than just a rare original
motor, this has been through a full restoration to make sure that
rarity includes desirability.
This is the kind of car that really gets attention. 1970 was a
distinct single-year style that arguably was one of the sportiest
front-end designs of the first generation. The factory-correct
code-D yellow has been recently refinished to have a terrific shine
that acts like a bright beacon. And the bumpers have the same
mirror-like luster. But that's not why you really like this
convertible. Instead, it's the darker elements. Its the black
stripe package on the hood and hood shaker that makes this
convertible look great, with the tight black vinyl top up, or the
dark interior open to the world. And the Goodyear Polyglas
reproduction tires on the aluminum cap wheels are exactly how the
'70s Fords came, if they were built to eat up the asphalt (more on
that in a moment.)
Beneath the black electric folding top is an interior just as deep
and dark. On a car this rare, the restoration budget was all about
making it feel like you were picking this up right from the
Dearborn factory in December 1969. The seats, door panels,
carpeting, and dash have had any decades of use erased. In fact,
this one feels 1970s correct right down to the AM radio and
heat/defrost sliders. These later first-generation Mustangs seemed
to strike a nice balance combining a racy feel with grand touring
comfort. For example, the handsome high-back vinyl bucket seats not
only look cool, but they also are firm and supportive for long
drives. The original-style two-spoke steering wheel gives you a
great view of all the gauges. But as practical as it might seem,
you know this is a true muscle car the moment you grab the Hurst
shifter.
If you haven't fallen in love/lust with this convertible yet, it
will happen immediately when you open the hood. Not only are you
looking at the original and ultra-rare Q-code 428 cubic-inch V8,
but also it has been given a near concours-level restoration. This
means the correct air filter on top of the Cobra Jet shaker; below
that is a four-barrel carburetor; and it is all presented in the
classic Ford blue. And we know you've noticed all the correct
factory stickers in an engine bay that's clean enough to eat your
dinner off of. Best of all, this level of presentation is basically
on the whole car - from the factory instructions behind the license
plate to the fully painted undercarriage. But just because a ton
was invested in a proper restoration, doesn't mean you shouldn't
enjoy driving this classic Mustang. After all, the monster power of
the big block Cobra Jet V8, the roar of the H-pipe dual exhaust,
and the control of the close-ratio four-speed manual transmission
are the kind high-octane dreams that only the upper echelon of
muscle car fans ever get to experience.
We'll show you the Marti Report that lists it as a 1 of 5 ever
built, but you already know how ultra desirable this 428 Mustang
convertible is. A car this rare and so well presented droptop is
likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss out. Call
now!!
