It apparently sat for an extremely long time. These vehicles were just used cars at one time. My first car was a 1969 Mustang GT that I purchased in 1976. These cars were not collector cars back then. I parted out a few Mustangs back in the day that would definitely not be parts cars now.
Good day. Aldridge Motorsports Engineering. Vancouver WA. Has a new NOS Boss 302 (1971) engine. Carb to pan. In a crate. Thy also have a Boss 302 block. I enjoy your builds.
I found a Boss 302 that had been totaled in 1973 and made into a race car. It had a tree growing from the engine compartment and no hood. The Texas safety inspection sticker from 1973 was still on the windshield. The restoration was a blast and I had a grand time DRIVING it ! It sold to a friend and i get to see it still. I kept the Mach 1 i had owned for many years as it is air conditioned with 351 4V. Carry on and enjoy sir !
It's ruff but it's worth saving! The couple of things I noticed was it has power brakes and power steering! My 70 mach 1 is a no power brakes, no power steering or AC! I thought they were like mine. I really need to get a Marti report for mine! Good luck with this one
Awesome find! 1970 boss is my favourite of the muscle mustang!! And red to boot!! Can’t wait for this build to start, hope you can find original sheet metal.
It’s insane to me that folks let cars just sit and sit until they are just about useless. Who knows the reasons why, but it really is crazy. I’m excited to see this beauty come back to life.
Where in Iowa? There is place in southern Iowa that was restoring Mustangs years ago. Still has many Mustangs sitting on the farm still shows up on google map. Still has three 68 GT 500 KR conv red, white, blue. R-code galaxy, 71 boss 351 and 2 boss 302 needing restored orange(70) and yellow(69)
Congrats Ben very good score, it's certainly found the right home. The '70 Boss 302 is high up on my list of fave US muscle cars so it will be great to see this one brought back to life. I hope luck is on you're side finding the correct block with screw in welsh plugs & the 4MA crank & heads etc. It's highly probable that this did have the optional shaker scoop ticked, here's hoping anyway.
Complete with trailer hitch and CB radio antenna! My 70, purchased by my father in 1983, had those items as well, and also the obligatory hood pins, aftermarket tach on the column and water injection. Love the white deluxe interior; l Can’t wait to see you tackle this car….
Awesome Ben,,it is about the same as the one I brought home and called You on,,I bought a rust free 70 grande in Texas to fix Mine though..I'll gv You a call..wanted to yesterday but got busy..good score😁💪
Too true! (I think I remember his Rose Pink car was originally going to be “a keeper” but space limitations must also be a consideration I guess) Either way, a wonderful investment for anyone’s eventual retirement! 🙏👌
This video ..will be great to see , Once you have it restored . To see the beautiful car . Compared to where you started. Thanks for saving another one !!!
I am very happy for you finding a boss 302 looking forward to the restoration. The 1970 isn't one of my favorite mustang because it didn't have the side scoops but it will be fun too watch 😉
the right rear frame rail and the left front frame where the bumper bolts on are totally gone. I've restored a few mustangs and replaced complete cowl vents but good luck with that one.
Another lovely addition to your future prospects Ben! As a teenager, I had a fast passenger ride in a Mach 1 back in 1970 over here in the U.K…- It set me on the path of loving Fords and have been really lucky in owning my fair share of nice examples all through my life still. - Bless you, your family, and your future prospects.🙏
Congrats! You had good fortune finding this Ford Mustang legend. The 1970 BOSS 302 is the 'stellar' Ford factory built Mustang along side the BOSS 429. Their only 'Mustang' competition is the (non factory built) Shelby GT 350 & GT 500.
Glad you have the skill set to revive these cars! Keep the videos coming. Would ask how you find these leads but that would be giving away the secrets. Kudos to you👍
Sounds like they checked all the boxes on this one man. Be real cool to see the Marti report Not everyone optioned that interior package Cool score man
The guy you bought this BOSS 302 from said it has been sitting since 1976??? How does a Mustang get in that sad of shape in only 6 years or less??? WOW!! Good luck with the complete restoration!!
I feel like if someone sent you a vin tag, *that* could be considered a "fixable shell" for you. lol Between you, Chris Birdsong and Mid-year Mitch you guys are bringing cars back that 90% of the people out there wouldn't touch!
Oh yeah your boss 302 has a rear sway bar, that's a good piece. Now let's get a Windsor block punch it out to 460 cubic inches put a boss 302 heads on it, 12 and 1/2 to 1 compression. And make it a perfect Boss 302 right down to the chalk marks.
Coupe's are less expensive to aquire. Because you break these cars down so much have you turned any coupe's into fastbacks? And if not do you plan to in the future?
@@DSmith264 - you’re right, of course! It’s just that back in ‘78 I left my ‘73 Capri 3.0 GXL in my garage here in U.K. to spend 6 months in the US. Within 3 weeks, I fulfilled my dream with a one-owner ‘70 Mustang Fastback 302 3-sp auto. (which I bought for $550 and sold back to the original owners sister for $500 the night before I left for return to UK...!) I’ve never had so much fun since, and every time Ben cares for any form of ‘70 Fastback, it brings back many happy memories! Ben, I look forward your video updates on this one...
@@jeffreynolds3848 I can relate. Still have my '70, that my older brother purchased new... but it has undergone some serious changes since my high school days. Mine was originally a Mach 1 with the M-code Cleveland and automatic transmission. But now 393 stack injected stroker with Tremec magnum 6sp. If it HAD been a Boss 302, I probably would have opted for a straight restoration. That being said, I don't regret a single modification...and there's been a BUNCH! With that coveted 'G' in the vin number, I can understand this gentleman's decision to put it back stock, but without the original motor and trans. I'd still be tempted to go for a full Parnelli tribute road racer! 😜
@@jeffreynolds3848 Yeah, my brother bought it when he got out of the service. He passed away a couple years later, I just couldn't bear to part with it. I drove that thing into the ground before embarking on MY 20 year long resto-mod journey. All it takes is time and money...but Mr. Peterson's skill set will cut those factors down, considerably!
I’m working on a 70 fastback your videos are very helpful and informative thank you! I need new doors shells any brand you suggest quite a few options to choose from
What would be interesting would be the history of this car considering the owner had it since the ‘70s. Question 1 ; why was this car stripped? Was it Stolen or used for parts on another Boss?
With the taboo subject of Vin Numbers I am curious what you do on all your builds with the VIN # on the fender aprons when you have to replace them from rust? I notice most you change this on. I am working on restorying a 1970 mustang and it has rust and damage to most of the front end parts so I was wanting to just replace it all similarly to how you do your cars. Thanks again for all your videos and taking time to help.
Do you take any measurements to insure that the frame is not bent? Or do you not care based on the price you are paying? With my luck the shell that I would buy would be completely unusable if I attempted such a project.
Please do my 1 of 783 with factory 4 spd with Hurst shifter, AZ frame and all body panels on a NM shell. Marti report 1972 Bright Red Ranchero GT. Please !
Is restoring these old Mustangs your full time business or do you have a job that pays the bills? I have seen some cars you have said were done for customers.
How much money you got to dump in to it to get it back on the road is it worth it then just buying one that is all ready road ready you got to factor in your time to
Many years ago made a 1967 Shelby clone (in San Diego) fastback black on black with a brushed aluminum interior some Trans Am fender flares from back in the day, only to see it on RU-vid recently that was stolen and stripped over in Tulsa Oklahoma.
