The Ford Mustang remains one of the most sought-after cars out there, and everybody knows why. And while everybody loves a Mustang in tip-top shape, project cars deserve some attention, too. That's mainly because this is how a previously abandoned model can get back on the road and eventually shine bright like a diamond for the second time in its life.
The 1970 Mustang you see here is very close to losing the battle with the rust, and as you can easily tell from the photos included in the gallery, it has certainly seen better days.
The owner of the car also admits the car isn’t necessarily in its best condition, and the front frame and the shock towers are super-rusty, which means they might need to be replaced completely. But on the other hand, if you’re thinking of building a race car out of this Mustang, the good news is it still comes with a good top, and all the glass is still there.
Some other parts, including the front and the back seats, the steering wheel, and the disk brakes, all go with the car, so theoretically, they could serve as a starting point for whoever wants to restore it.
There’s just one problem: the Mustang comes without a title, so it should only be used for parts or a race car, as the seller themselves emphasizes in their ad.
We’re not being told if the 351 engine still runs, but we do know it’s paired with an automatic transmission. The drivetrain is no longer on the car, so you can consider this a grown-up Lego set that you should enjoy building in your garage, especially during these crazy times.
The good news is this Mustang project car could end up selling for a rather low price. The current bid on eBay is $1,500, but the reserve is yet to be met.
