I bought my 1970 Mach 1 When I came home from Vietnam in 1973. I still own it today. In a 1988 I bought a boss 302 and did a ground of frustration on it. But I got Parkinson’s from Vietnam due to agent orange so I had to sell the car because it had no power steering it was really hard to drive. But I still have my 70 Mach one that has power steering and runs like a Swiss watch. From 3 feet away it looks like a brand new car original and unrestored. It’s a 351 Cleveland four-speed with shaker scope louvers and spoilers and magnum 500 wheels. This September I will have had the car 49 years. I graduated from high school in 1970 it’s kind of special.

The '69 and '70 Bosses (302 and 429) are great muscle cars. From what I could tell from the walk-around, it looks to be 100% original (and very well maintained). Price tag on this one could be anywhere between $75K to $100K. The only real drawback I see it no AC, But if it were mine, there's no way I'd sell it

Nice stang. Back in 1982 I could have bought a 1970 Mach 1 . It was yellow with black stripes. It was fully loaded with options. It had the 351 Cleveland with a factory 4 speed with the console. It had the decor interior with wood grain trim. The price was $1800.00 dollars back then. I didn't buy it because strangely it was a 2 barrel carburetor from the factory. Strange combination.

Nothing more special than a Vietnam mustang. Especially since the guy had a daughter that understands its value , and I dont mean money. The monetary value of this thing pales in comparison to the value it has to a child of a vet who came home from that shitty war and found some happiness in a mustang like they were seeing in the magazines while over seas. We had a few such cars in my area which is a small town whos owners werent so lucky and they just sat as memorials of sorts.... They became part of the landscape , no one tried to buy them , no one touched them... They just sat there until the parents passed on.

in Missouri and lot of states will allow a “TOD” transfer on death , A persons name is put on the title in addition to the owners name, when the owner passes away, the ownership of the vehicle will instantly transfer to that person, assuming the vehicle is paid off, there is no charge for that if it is done when the vehicle is titled, in Missouri in can be done at a later point but you will have to pay the title fee $35 in Missouri to re-print the title, with a TOD The vehicle will not have to go through probate,

@@tonyscarcare5657 "On Mustangs built from 1964 thru 1970, the gas tank was simply dropped into a hole in the trunk. If the tank ruptured in a rear end collision, there is no solid barrier, just a flimsy seat back, between the the passengers and gasoline." Ford decided to keep this a secret instead of recalling the cars. Many people were incinerated or maned for life. Ford has and continues to make settlements to victims and their families. A $75.00 fix would have solved this deadly problem. People that restore old Mustangs, and they continue to do so, should be aware of this potential deadly problem.

What's so ironic, Ford knew a rear end collision was deadly and continues to deny any problem exists. The fix is inexpensive, and people should know since the Mustang is so collectable. The Pinto is not collectable and is best forgotten in my opinion. I'm a Lincoln-Mercury man myself but the last real Town Car rolled off the assembly line in 1997. What followed are cheap imitations.
