1970 Boss 302 Ford Mustang Restoration: Huge Potential
The last owner of the car parked it years ago and has had the car since 1976. It is in original condition with no restoration work having previously gotten done on the car. It is currently missing wheels, the interior is largely disassembled and the body has a good deal of paint fading and rust.
Despite its seemingly rough looking condition, he goes over the fact that the car is complete enough for a relatively straightforward restoration and his optimism towards the classic car restoration project is evident throughout the video.
He plans to get the car fully restored back to its original condition, which was a red first-generation Ford Mustang with a white, upgraded interior with improved upholstery over the stock version of the car as well as wood paneling throughout.
He plans to keep the front fender, from the condition the car is in now, to use as a wall hanging to remember the starting point from how he got it.
