Mustang coupes represent one of the biggest bargains in the old car hobby today. Often living in the shadow of their convertible and fastback siblingsand#44; cars like this 1970 Ford Mustang coupe offer the same performanceand#44; same handsome interiorand#44; and same street presenceand#44; all for less cash. Talk about a win-win situation! Refinished a few years agoand#44; this slick red pony is just more proof that theres no such thing as an ugly 1970 Mustang. From the wide-mouth grille and black chin spoiler to the stripe running down the center of the car and those classic three-element taillightsand#44; this car is pure American fun from any angle. Finish work is pretty goodand#44; with a high-visibility shine and decent gapsand#44; but not so nice that youll fret about leaving it unattended in a parking lot. Subtle details reveal themselves after you get acquaintedand#44; such as the satin black rocker panel stripesand#44; small 351 emblems under the Mustang script on the front fendersand#44; and twin chrome tailpipes sticking out the back. Add in a nicely done black vinyl roofand#44; and you have a great-looking pony car that will be the center of attention but one that never seems to be trying too hard. Bucket seats with federally-mandated headrests anchor a nicely finished interior. Coupes and fastbacks shared the same partsand#44; and from behind the wheel its almost impossible to tell them apart. The deeply set gauges look sporty and in this car appear to be in completely original conditionand#44; while other componentsand#44; including the seat covers and door panelsand#44; are quite nice. The carpets and dash pad are showing their ageand#44; but the great thing about Mustangs is that stuff like that is available from a variety of suppliers and equipment is quite affordable. The shifter for the C4 3-speed automatic transmission uses a chrome T-handleand#44; and there are heavy-duty floor mats protecting the carpet. An AM/FM/CD stereo has been installed in the dash and includes a remote for easy access. The trunk offers a correct replacement mat and with a coupeand#44; theres plenty of room for luggage on a road trip. Performance is entertainingand#44; tooand#44; especially when youre carrying a built 351 cubic inch V8. Rugged and easy to maintainand#44; the 351 is a great choice and thanks to a 2-barrel carburetorand#44; its even relatively thrifty for a performance-oriented machine. The engine bay is functional but not detailed for showand#44; although we have to admit we like the red air filter lid that works well with the red paint. Otherwiseand#44; its pretty stockand#44; which means its easy to maintain and bulletproof reliable. The transmission is a C4 3-speed automatic feeding a stock rear end hanging on leaf springsand#44; as original. The exhaust system is very recently installedand#44; including Flowmaster mufflers and those cool chrome tipsand#44; so it sounds amazing. The floors are in good order with no glaring issues and if youre going to wear big wheelsand#44; you may as well make the brakes interestingand#44; so the drums have been painted red to match the bodywork. Giant 20-inch wheels certainly make a statement and actually fit inside the fender wells far better than mostand#44; so it looks right. Neatly sorted and ready to enjoyand#44; this high-visibility Mustang will get admiring glances anywhere it goes. Even more importantlyand#44; youll feel like a million bucks from behind the wheel.
