The 1970 Mustang witnessed the introduction of a new six-cylinder engine. The 200ci was offered alongside the 250ci mill (also available during the 1969 model year), so customers who were specifically interested in the looks and less on what was hiding under the hood had more economical choices.
The 302 was Ford's next option in the lineup with 210 horsepower. It was offered on the '69 and the '70 Mustangs as an entry-level foray into the V8 world.

The 351 Cleveland units replaced the Windsor in 1970, being sold alongside the CJ and Boss units. The 429 four-barrel unit produced a whopping 375 horsepower.

The fastback in these photos is not a Boss, though you might be tempted to believe it is, considering how much attention it received on eBay. Posted by seller coker02usa, the 1970 Mustang has already received 30 bids, and considering the clock is ticking and the digital battle will end in a few hours, I wouldn't be surprised to see the fight becoming even fiercer.

The car has obviously been sitting for a long time, but it also comes with bad news in almost every key department. The drivetrain is complete, so you get an engine and a transmission, but the 302 under the hood (the owner says they're not even sure it's a 302) is already stuck.

The doors come without the glass, and the windshield must be replaced. The body needs urgent attention, the speedometer is no more, and the Mustang sells with an aftermarket steering wheel. The seats are wrecked, the taillights have been replaced with parts from a 1969 Mustang, and the brakes are not working.

The car is a project in all regards, and bringing it back to the road will require a lot of work that doesn't justify the investment. Most people bidding for this Mustang probably want it for parts, albeit it's safe to expect many components to already be missing on this car. The owner didn't share a full description in this regard, but you should contact them and discuss all the details. You should also arrange an in-person inspection to thoroughly investigate everything on this Mustang.

The car sells without a title, but despite all these shortcomings, it has already received impressive attention on eBay. The bidding reached $3K a few minutes ago, but the digital fight will end today, so the chances are the price will go higher at the last minute. It's a no-reserve auction, meaning whoever sends the top bid will take the fastback home.

The Mustang is located in Milton, Florida, and it still rolls freely, so you should be able to get it on a trailer easily if you win this fierce battle.
