Ford Mustang 408 V8 1970
General description :
AWESOME 70 FASTBACK! STRONG 408CI V8, AUTO, A/C, PS/B - 4WHL DISC, FRESH BUILD!!
The idea of equipping a vintage muscle car with upgraded components to improve the driving experience it delivers is nothing new, but very few modded Mustangs can rival this 1970 Ford Mustang fastback. Its array of modern, top tier drivetrain, interior and exterior features combines outstanding curb appeal to produce a classic that will stand out in even the best of automotive company.
The resounding vintage charm this fastback started life with has received some tasteful yet dynamic customization, and a close inspection is needed to fully appreciate its awesome uniqueness. It's clad in Grabber Green - a color most closely associated with Boss 429s of this era, and it looks great in this setting, with a great shine and very smooth texture. The broad contrasting on the scooped hood adds to the vintage vibe and as you take a lap around the car the modifications really grab your attention - both the front and rear bumpers have been subtly shaved before being painted to match the rest of the exterior, Halo headlights and fog lights sit in the customized front grille and the door handles feature a satin texture in place of the usual chrome. LED taillights recessed into the signature Mustang triple-lenses in the blackened panel add a distinctive look in back as they bracket a Cobra-style gas cap. There's certainly no shortage of style on display here.
The interior is essentially new and traditional Mustang elements that are complemented by an array of modern upgrades to produce a world class driving environment. The textured look of the front buckets and rear bench seat will be instantly recognizable to any Mustang fan, but they feature leather inserts and, owing to their light usage, show very little, if any, sign of wear. The buckets straddle a great looking custom center console that offers both a sizable storage compartment and carbon fiber accents to match those found on the dash area up front. Just in front of the driver's seat, the billet steering wheel sits on a tilting chrome column, waiting to be grasped as you put this classic through its paces, and if you peer through it, you'll see an assortment of AutoMeter Cobalt gauges in their own carbon fiber accented cluster, with a pair of billet pedals below. Air conditioning cools the cabin through in dash vents, while an AM/FM stereo with iPod connectivity stands by to handle your audio needs. The trunk area is nice and tidy, with a new expanse of carpeting to line its floor.
The array of top tier mechanical components this '70 features is every bit as impressive as the style it exudes. A 408 cubic inch V8 - its outstanding displacement coming by way of boring and stroking an already potent 351 Windsor - sits in the show-worthy engine compartment, surrounded by Grabber green inner fenders and firewall. It's been armed with an Edelbrock cam, intake manifold and aluminum heads, as well as Hedman headers leading to a Flowmaster dual exhaust to further maximize its output, and a set of very sharp aluminum valve covers and a complete March pulley and bracket system to enhance its looks. The outstanding, newly added powerplant - it's logged fewer than 1000 miles - teams with a 3-speed automatic transmission that debuted at the same time. A Unisteer power rack and pinion system combines with a Ridetech front suspension for a great ride and improved handling, while power disc brakes, featuring Wilwood slotted and drilled rotors, provide excellent stopping power. This exceptional Mustang rides on a set of 18" Ridler wheels that are wrapped with Kumho tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
