1970 Ford Mustang

302

Clear

Bizarre. This is a relist due to Ebay cancelling the transaction seconds after the auction closed due to fraud, even though they suspected it three days before but didn't tell me so I could block the bidder.Sorry to the other bidders.No Reserve (5 day auction)Original 1970 Sportsroof, 302, 4spd car. Clear California title in my name. I bought this car a year ago and with other projects I'm not going to get around to finishing the body and addressing whatever else it needs. I was told the motorhas been gone through and it is well detailed, fires right up and drives well the short distances I've gone. I do not know if the motor is original. I did have a clutch professionally installed and the brakes looked afteras it wasn't shifting easily and I wanted good brakes to make it stop safely. The power steering has worked fine.I would describe this car as a project. The correct interior was installed and looks nice, but still needs some work, and the newer dash has a crack on the speaker line from sitting in the sun, my stupid fault. Interesting choice of steering wheels (not my choice, lol), looks like it belongs in a Porsche!The body is in primer but only to preserve it after being sanded down. It needs more work and there is filler, but the floor pans are super clean as the photos show. I think it was a California car, at least the last 25 years. A gentleman here drove it daily for all those years and when he was too old to drive it, his neighbor bought it and he was the one that started restoring it, but ran out of money. I bought it from him with the intention of continuing the restoration. I haven't spent time on it other than mechanical issues. That is why this is a NO RESERVE auction for a PROJECT CAR.Please expect a project and if you or someone else can't inspect it or can't figue out how muchwork it might be for you, please don't bid on it and be unhappy. I will be happy to help make the car accessible for your transport company, keep in mind the car cannot stay here for more than two weeks as I am building a new warehouse where the car is kept.$1000 deposit will be due within 24 hours of auction's end, through Paypal. I will relist it after the 24 hours because I need this car gone and don't want to monkey around with buyers that can't followthrough. Sorry to be tough but that is what I see happening on so many auctions that have to be relisted. Balance is due 72 hours from the close of auction.Thank you. (The Magnum 500 wheels do not go with the car, it has Weld Wheels, alloy star-type rims with good tires on them. I'll try to get a photo of them, but most of you know what they look like.) On Nov-19-12 at 10:48:24 PST, seller added the following information: Hi, someone asked about underneath the car, torque boxes, and frame rails..I took some photos and you can see the bottom is straight and clean. It's not beaten up either. The car seems to have been medium blue and previously (original I think) poly gold (?). On Nov-28-12 at 14:57:33 PST, seller added the following information: Sorry, but due to having to relist I will only allow bids from buyers with 10 or more positive feedbacks and no negatives to be in this auction, (you may contact me with your name and number if you don't). I hate to do this because even I don't have that many, but Ebay put a stop on the last under 10 feedback bidder.On Dec-01-12 at 18:39:26 PST, seller added the following information: As requested I am adding pics of the trunk and yes it does have disc brakes up front. The trunk is pretty much like the bottom of the car, without rust but the trunk has some bumps and bruises (which you can see) from stuff being in it. It also doesn't appear to have been hit in the rear from the looks of the welds. Also I was asked where the filler was, I think the telltale areas of the lower doorskin wear through is the primary place. Although you can see it elsewhere, I don't think it is hiding cancer. Judging from the California history and the cleanliness of the underside and trunk, I think this makes sense, but again I'm selling this as a project and the body will need work before painting.I went and fired it up and drove it around a bit today and everything worked properly, ps, lights, brakes, shifting was smooth, I did not and have not driven it long distances so I don't know how cool it stays but it seemed to be okay locally.Lastly, you can see the original color is not blue but that was it's last color and it looks like only the second one, but I'm not sure.
