*Restored in 2002, paperwork lost
*Post-restoration RAC report available
*Owned by the vendor for 35 years

By 1969 the Ford Mustang was in its third incarnation, the 1969 model rolling over into 1970 with some cosmetic tweaks. This older-restoration 1970 convertible features the 302 cubic inch (4.9-litres) V8 and was converted to right-hand drive prior to the vendor buying it 35 years ago. The bodywork now requires attention, as does the paint while the external trim and wheels/tyres are reported to be excellent. The black vinyl seats are said to be excellent and the carpets, dashboard and door cards as very goof. Underbonnet presentation is vendor-assessed as average to good, the engine's starting as good and its running as average. There is little history with this lot.

Requiring some attention to the bodywork, this 1970 Mustang convertible has the advantage of being converted to right-hand drive.
