1970 Ford Mustang

351 Windsor

Mustang Grande Coupe with a Windsor 351 under the hood. This mustang has been in my family 40 years! I hate to part with it but I can longer afford to store it. My grandmother gave it to me when she was no longer able to take care of it. She bought it off a Ford Dealership showroom floor. It was a showroom custom, as most of these models did not come with the 351 and the upgraded interior. Plenty of power. This car has only 45k original miles! The car still runs and drives great! I used it as a daily driver for over a month with no problems. It has been in storage for a few years now and I have not started it. The paint does show some minor rust spots in some places and there is rust on the under body. The worst areas are around the trunk and rear windshield. Also, the transmission does seem to be shifting at the wrong RPM and is rather jerky when it does shift. There is a small tear in the drivers seat and crack in the dash speaker. Note: There has been much debate as to whether my model contains the Windsor or Cleveland. After having it professionally inspected and comparing pictures. It is a Windsor, which was very rare for a 70 model. This from Ford: We receive many phone calls from classic Mustang enthusiasts inquiring if the engine in their 1969 or 1970 Mustang or the 1969 or 1970 Mustang they are contemplating purchasing is a 351 V-8 Windsor or a 351 V-8 Cleveland. First of all, virtually all 1969 351 V-8 engines were Windsors and virtually all 1970 351 V-8 engines were Clevelands. There are a few exceptions. Over the years we have seen a few 1969 Mustangs with factory installed Cleveland engines. By checking the build dates of these Cleveland 1969’s we found that in every case these Mustangs were produced in the last week or two of 1969 production when perhaps the factory ran out of Windsor engines. Conversely, we have also seen very early production 1970 Mustangs equipped with 351 V-8 Windsor engines. Again, perhaps the producing factory was using up their supply of Windsor engines before beginning Cleveland engine production. In either case we have found these to be very rare occurrences. Please feel free to contact me with any questions before you bid. Thanks
