So heres the deal. My dad just found a 1970 Mach 1 in the local paper last night. The rest of my family is going to the cabin this weekend but i'll be home alone (partay) and my dad wanted me to go check it out because he think it might be a steal. Here is what the listing says:

1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1
-restored condition, built 351 C, auto, factory air,
-new paint, interior, exhaust, wheels, tires, more.
-Price reduced $16,900 OBO

Now I dont know anything about 67 and later stangs because I have a 66. So what I need to know is what questions to ask him and what problem areas should I look for. Could someone make a list or something so I bring it with me when I go to look at it? Do you think that is a fair price or should it be lower? I guess I can check ebay for similar cars and see what they are going for. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Torque boxes, drivers side floor pan, bottom of the doors, under the battery, trunk lid. Also a compression test couldn't hurt.

Sounds like a good price if its nice and has the matching block in the car. I just bought this one for 17k in about the same condition just needs a few finishing touches.

another question, where is the body tag and vin #'s on a 1970 mustang?

Thanks...


Unlike chevy's I have even heard of Ford tags just laying somwhere under the hood. I also would be curious to know if Ford had an official place they put them.

I'm in the progress of tearing mine down to a shell, VIN is in lower drivers windshield post, Data plate is on drivers door, and body tag is screwed to the passenger front fender just inside the lip where the mounting bolts are.

Hope this helps some.
