Craig thank you for the info, here is the vin # 0x91u229839, the owner I got it from said the hood was on there and he got it from the the original owner but I thought it was a little weird because I have seen them with the rear spoiler and not the hood but not this way. The guy I got it from did say he changed out the rear with a 72 8" and he gave me the 70 grill which is in perfect shape, he said he liked the grill with the turn signals better. Anyone who wants this grill(the one in the pic) let me know I will sell it. It does have an 88 mustang 5.0 now with a B303 cam, holley 600 and an aluminum intake, headman headers. These seats are very comfortable, just need to get them recovered, they recline also. Here is the motor.

Also, are you sure it is a 1970? All 1970's had 4-lugs, and your car has 5-lugs. Maybe somebody changed it over to 5-lugs....or maybe somebody has rebodied a 1973 body with a number off of a 1970 car. No big deal either way. Your car also has a 1975-1977 grill. No center emblem and no crosshairs on the turn signals. Your seats are out of a 1972-1973 Maverick/Comet with the Luxury decor option. Those are nice seats. The doors are off of a 1970 thru 1972 Maverick/Comet, as evident by the arm rests. The green paint on the doors matches the green paint on the floor, so I would say the doors are original. Looks like a very nice car, no matter what you really have. ------------------------------------------------------------- :=I just bought this mav. It is supposed to be a 1970 grabber, 6 cyl. car. It has the grabber hood(and is in excellent cond.) but not the rear spoiler(which i am currently in the process of getting from Craig Selvey), is this common? It also has bucket seats that have the same upolsthery pattern as the back seats but I was wondering if these are originals? It needs a few things but it is in good shape, the paint is new but the guy who taped off the stripes did a bad job. |
