This is a very rare 1970 Ford Torino Type N/W hardtop in Pacific Blue (Grabber Blue). This was a limited-production Special Edition for the northwestern market, and very rare, with only a of 395 total made.

They were available in three "high-impact" colors:  Pacific Blue (Grabber Blue), Oregon Orange (Competition Orange), and Washington Green (Grabber Green).  There were 601 scheduled to be built over two years, however only 395 were made in 1970 with none made the following year. 

Ford made a number of different limited-production Special Edition models in the late 60's and early 70's, including the Type N/W Torino, Twister Special Torino, California Special Mustang, and High Country Special Mustang, all of which are rare, unique, and prized by collectors.

I have included an image of the Marti Report which verifies that this is a genuine Torino Type N/W in the original color.

The Type N/W package included the black-out hood paint treatment, hood twist-lock pins, special high-impact paint colors with graphics, dual outside sport mirrors, and argent silver road wheels with wide oval tires.  All engine options were available; this one came from the factory with the H-code 351C, and currently has a strong running period-correct 302 and C4 automatic transmission.  The car features power front disc brakes and power steering.  Mechanically, the car is what you might consider a "daily driver" in sound condition. The car has 132,191 total miles on it.

It has new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, new Centerline Auto Drag-style spun aluminum wheels, new brakes, new dual exhaust with chrome tips, new battery, and new carpet. The interior came with the full bench seats with headrests, and currently has Pro Touring-style black bucket seats installed... an easy change-over back to stock if you so desire.

This particular car sold new out of the Seattle area and spent the majority of it's life in Eastern Oregon, resulting in a dry, rust-free car. It has a very nice high-quality repaint in the original Pacific Blue, and it looks great.  I have found no evidence of rust or filler/panel repair on the car... very nice sheet metal.

The glass, chrome, and trim are all excellent, including the front grill and rear tail panel sections. I'd say the car would rate right up around a "9" on the exterior, and probably at least a "7" on the interior. The dash has a fitted "factory-style" dash cap installed, and while the upholstery on the bucket seats isn't an exact pattern match,  overall the interior is nice, complete, and sound with a good headliner, door panels, trim, etc.

All the gauges, heater, lights, wipers, etc. seem in proper working order with the exception of the turn signals; I think it's probably simply the flasher relay. 

While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is a 43-year-old classic automobile and is being sold as-is, without warranty expressed, or implied.  Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer, however I will make myself available to your shipper for loading and pick-up.  Please be prepared to remit payment within three days of the auction's end.

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
