1970 Ford Mustang Walkaround with Steve Magnante

[@realshady16]

To me,,I love the '70 Mustang..

[@gregkistner1955]

Definitely knows a ton of car history! 👍

[@rickread5902]

Looks really nice! I graduated high school in 1980, in 1982 I bought a 1970 Mustang Sportsroof 302 2v auto transmission Gold with saddle brown that was in my neighborhood that was sitting in a neighbors drive forever. I asked them if they’d like to sell it and we struck a deal for$900. It had some minor rust that I repaired, repainted the car Grabber Yellow, found 5 Magnum 500 wheels, build up the engine some with 69 351W4v heads, mild Comp-cam, aluminum intake with Holley 600, shift kit installed in the C4, swapped out the 8” readend to a 9” with 3.25 Detroit Locker. A lot of junkyard rummaging back then, I came across a nice Ford hood-scoop with turn signals, and the rear spoiler. The car was quite the looker with a little bit of power, just enough to have some fun!

Auto transmission 😂

[@drinkingpoolwater]

Perfect,70 without the fog lamps in the grill...awesome job Steve!!!

True love ❤❤❤

[@neildummer9313]

Thanks for sharing very interesting

[@bobp5356]

Great video Steve. I love watching these car presentations. Thanks

[@porscheguy09]

In my opinion the 1969 and 1970 Mustangs were the best body style for the classic cars. Although they weren’t fictional I always liked the look of the 69 with the fake vents in the shoulder of the rear quarter panel.

[@magpiemak5981]

So good to have you back, Steve. Your progress is great to see, and I always learn something from every video I watch! We care about you, and the stuff you're experiencing. I just wish I could do more to help.

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

I love this car!

[@bobbymckinney1264]

My cousin has a 70 it's purple with picture of a woman sitting on a loin on the hood it's got the 351 motor in it,I seen also this one here didn't have the clock on the passenger side dash,still a sweet ride with it being standard shift I'd drive it live these mustangs

[@lsquest263]

Little late to the party I know... But, imo, this is the best looking mustang of them all. I like the 68 FB, 89 LX 5.0, even the mustang II's. Again, love this one!!!

[@hughmarloweverest1684]

Meets my standards and what a sweet car.

[@gthomas3964]

Thanks Steve..You do a great job explaining in detail each car you do..And Yes It is a great looking Mustang.Its just right not over the top.I always liked that particular body style..

[@miaimbeach314]

my dream car 1969 or 70

[@shrek_428]

I was really hoping it had the 428 in it under that shaker. I had a 70 Mustang sportroof that was plain jane like that, but it was the Q-code 428. Back in 1983 I paid $1200 for it, I wish I had it back now

[@MarcusSandoval-kx2th]

Clean ride and im a die hard GM fanaric 😂

[@frankcarchedi737]

its been sold

[@Wooley689]

If you will notice, this is the model the 2010 to 2014 was based off of.

[@SirP1337]

isnt regulary a clock on the site

[@hornetbrown]

Perfect color and stance, I would need a built 390 with a four/five speed... something a little nasty sounding like it's all business.

[@gorgik]

Nice video. Nice car. I think 69/70 should be 3rd gen because they differ a lot from 67/68 models which are considered as Mustang classics and are more valuable and "expensive" than these models.

[@ronwatson4902]

Somebody will appreciate all those fingerprints on that black paint.

[@googleusergp]

Yup with the VIN (from the HOC website), you win: 0 for 1970 model year, F for Dearborn, MI assembly, 02 for Mustang Fastback, F for 302 V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. The Dearborn, MI plant was the "home" Mustang plant through the 2004 model year, when production was moved to Flat Rock, MI.

[@gteefxr3094]

The way you rhyme is a crime.

[@googleusergp]

@@gteefxr3094 It's obvious you don't know a thing, because to the table nothing you bring. So, sit back and shut your trap, and with regard to your mouth, let it not flap. You're wasting air, and frankly regarding your comments----no one cares.

[@steves9905]

I have one too but not as nice as this one...love the base model, cleaned up and refined a bit. its amazing how much attention a sportsroof mustang will get...even non-car people notice it. the only nit I have, and I love mine, is that the interior quality went into the tank...67-68 were super detailed, but '69-70 is really cheap plastic everywhere.

[@sabastinenoel55]

How much for these?

[@davidjohnmiller4849]

No power steering and no spare tire ?

[@diegohorton869]

I’d buy it and I’m not a Ford guy

[@KaneGregory]

What kind of small block geezzes?🧠🤯🔫

[@steveklopfer4780]

Is Magnante still sick. Good luck

[@Rif_Leman]

1970 was the final year of Mustang production with the '70 model being the pinnacle of Mustang design. 1971 and later are Mustangs in name only.

[@jeffschwartz5199]

Shit , I thought 69 , 70 were 3rd gen . At least Carroll complained that they kept getting bigger . 🤦

[@arte4arte]

The Mustang creator Lee Iacocca HATED the third generation 1973 Mustangs, calling them "Stuffed pigs" for their massive proportions. He preferred the original Pony Car concept: small, fun and sporty.

[@mfwebpea2935]

A lot came with 3-speed would drop Doug Nash 5-speed I like 69 Camaro 3 in the tree cuz Mom had 67 Nova standard steering column shift

[@michaeldelaney7271]

Third Generation, Steve. At least as far as body styles. 64.5-66, 67-68 and 69-70. After the 1970 came the horrible big, fat, ugly '71-73 and then the silly little '74 Mustang II.

[@travislostaglia8861]

Those 71-73 mustang’s were no bigger fatter or uglier than the Camaro firebird challenger or cuda of the same years

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@travislostaglia8861 But they were bigger, fatter and much uglier than the '65-66's or '67-68's MUSTANGS. The fact that GM went the bigger/heavier route didn't mean Ford had to follow. After all, Pony Cars were Ford's idea and GM was forced to build copies of the Mustang and Cougar. Incidentally, I owned a Second Gen Firebird ('79 TransAm WS-6). My kids picked it for us (they out-voted me 3 to 1). Anyway, the T/A was too heavy (crash bumpers & door beams), poorly assembled, just plain thrown together and got terrible gas mileage (usually 9 mpg). But, it was stylish and fun to drive. Having said all that, the Firebird was a vastly better car than the horrible '71-73 Mustangs (which I was able to drive at my job).

[@travislostaglia8861]

@@michaeldelaney7271 i owned a 73 mach1 Cleveland 4 speed for a while and spent some time in late 70’s Camaro/ firebirds. In my experience the mustang was the better car by far

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@travislostaglia8861 Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I can't argue with you. In fact, many folks thought my '79 T/A was a pile of junk but I grew to love that old bucket of bolts. About the '71-73 Mustangs, during that time I worked for a car magazine that was given a BOSS 351 to test. All the staff drove the car and our Editor told me to take it back to Ford and tell them "thanks, but no thanks." He said if we published a full road test, it wouldn't be very complimentary. Compared to a '66 2+2, a '68GT or a '69 BOSS 302, the BOSS 351 was too big, too heavy and hard to see out of. The handling was overwhelmed by its size and weight. It was more of an Intermediate class car and not the Compact size of the early Pony Cars. But, all that doesn't mean people didn't love their '71-73's. It just wasn't our magazine's cup of tea. At that time our staff drove quite an eclectic assortment of cars; a Ford Ranchero with hopped-up 390FE, an ALFA-Romeo GTV, a Lotus 7, a '69 Barracuda convertible, a VW Beetle, a Ferrari Daytona coupe, a Meyers Manx-clone buggy, a FIAT 2300 coupe with custom Italian coachwork, a '65 Chevelle 2-dr station wagon, a Tour de France winning Ferrari GTO, a FIAT 124 coupe, a BMW 2800 CS coupe, a '71 VW Microbus and some leased Buick Rivieras for the company executives. The editor with the '69 Barracuda, came back from the press junket for the '70 models and went right down to his Plymouth dealer and bought his '69. Plymouth and Dodge had moved their Pony Cars up to the Intermediate platform and he wanted the smaller, lighter '69.

[@ickemay]

@@michaeldelaney7271 Sorry. Have owned one for 35 years. 71-73,s drove like Cadillacs unlike rattle noisy earlier Mustangs

[@elfritts9895]

In the early 80s I bought a 70 with a 302 4 speed for 700 bucks it had ET chrome spokes and peerless F70s and never had another car that wild till I bought a 2001 Toyota gt hurricane flood car . Oh I was poor and saved Cash for every car I had they were always 10 years old 😅
