Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Bought this car yesterday, coming home today. Floor pans already replaced, brazed, with min rust on one lower door. 302 mtr went thru 15 years ago and wasn’t touched after that. Only thing missing is the carpet. Oh, came with a shaker hood and complete shaker scoop/air cleaner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Dollars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 35 hundred would be a steal. I hope you didn't pay 35 thousand. In 1976 I paid $42 for a running 65 Mustang, but 35 dollars today...hmm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Hey Casey, welcome. I am working on a '70 Vert project from the ground up. My project thread is "1970 Convertible Restoration". Vic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 70 converts were the least built of all the mustangs if remember correct ,somthing like 500 somthing? I know it was less then the shelbys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 Right. There were about 14,000 1969/1970 Shelby's produced There were around 7,500 1970 Mustang Convertibles produced, about the same amount as the 1970 Boss (302 and 429) Mustangs. So, yes they are getting hard to find. The good thing is that they share some rare parts with the '69 Mustangs and the Cougar convertibles..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 Around 7000 is the number built, the first one I built and sold, fetched 22000.00. This one, I will take longer to build and have a little fun with it..not so much all original, but no butchering. Thinking about dropping my spare 390/C6 in it. Weird thing is, this one too was originally ivy green that had been repainted white, dashavue. Pictures attached are from the first one I built 6 years ago 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 46 days since she came home and we took Christine around the block tonight for her maiden voyage. Christine was the name my son , Clayton, gave her before we got the wires hooked up right on the solinoid....and she was starting on her own. Clayton has done a great job putting her back together off the "to do list" I've been giving him. Dash, carpet, console, door panels, rear quart glass, bumpers, valence, headers, radiator, fan, and trans cooling lines. It's kinda nice to sit back and watch him work while I'm the chasing the wrenches. He turned 20 yesterday, so I believe the drive was the best gift of all. Next stop will be the exhaust shop, then the power steering. Pics coming soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
