Vehicle Detail
DescriptionWe have discussed the sale with the car owner and he has decided to relist the car without a reserve and have the market determine the value of this auto. You are looking at a 1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible Survivor. This car is a 110,000 original mile survivor and is probably the most original classic cars we have had for sale in awhile. The condition is very nice for the age and aside from a repaint, it is pretty much as stock as you will find. Read on and scroll down for a large number of photos. This came from a local older owner who is very fussy and has had this car since 1972 as you can see by the title. He did not have children or marry, so the car didn't see much as far as passengers. In addition, check out the notes inside the hood to give you a good indicator on maintenance and how well it has been cared for. Scroll down below to see all the photos below. Please review them carefully before placing a bid. If you cannot view all the photos or would like to see larger photos, please click here. Mechanically, this car runs surprisingly well and has been well maintained. It did have a tuneup done recently that includes plugs, wires, cap, rotor and other small components. The brakes work well, and it drives straight down the road. While it is in great shape, remember it is 40 years old+. We also have not tested much of the electronics but what we tested did work. The lights all work on the outside and even the interior courtesy lights still work. The glass is also good with no cracks. There is even the ORIGINAL Polyglas tire and jack as shown in the photos. The original radio is also included. The owner has totaled his repairs over the years, and has around $7000.00 in receipts. The paint is far better than driver quality and still shines, but it does have some rust starting as you can see in the photos. The mileage appears to be correct based on the condition of other components and the receipts. Wisconsin looks at the car as exempt from odometer disclose due to age. Just to recap, cosmetically, the paint does have it's flaws as documented by the photos. We would leave the car as it is and enjoy it. However, it could easily be restored to new if desired as they reproduce everything for this car. Current prices in the United States range from $4,500 for basket cases to upwards of $30,000 for nicely restored examples. Consider the value of these down the road – better than the stock market. This would make a great addition for the Ford or Cobra enthusiast that has everything, Best of all, there is NO reserve. Just to be clear - this car should be considered an easy project due to age. We also recommend and encourage inspections which are at the cost of the buyer. If you have questions about the car or shipping during the auction, we can be reached at 262-798-0600 and ask for Mike or Nichole. Best of luck in the auction.
