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. |

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
