Dressed in Grabber Blue paint that is in excellent condition, the order for this car was received on June 24, 1970, built on July 20, 1970 (13 days behind schedule) in Fordandrsquo;s Atlanta, Georgia factory and shipped to the Kansas City area, where it was sold on July 30, 1970 at James Campbell, Inc., on 40 Highway in Blue Springs, Missouri. It was equipped with the following features andndash; black laser stripes, G70x14 belted white sidewall tires, power steering, rarely ordered SelectAire air conditioning, AM radio and tinted glass.

The carandrsquo;s lights are in excellent order, as are the tires, Cooper Cobra GT radials, 225/70R14 at all four corners and Magnum 500 wheels. The carandrsquo;s body panels are solid and straight, the engine bay is very tidy, the battery looks new and the bumpers are also in fantastic shape.

Under the scooped hood is Fordandrsquo;s 429 CID Cobra Jet big-block V-8 (code C) with a Rochester Quadrajet 700 cfm carburetor, larger camshaft, 11.3:1 compression ratio and a special set of cylinder heads.

A temperature gauge was the only available gauge; oil pressure and electrics were monitored with warning lights only. High back bucket seats were available for all two-door models, as was an optional console; the GT model no longer had the former as standard features.
