Originally launched in 1969 and manufactured until 1973, the Grande was Ford’s first attempt to make the Mustang a more luxurious model, as the car came equipped with several exclusive parts not available for the rest of the lineup.
Only offered on the hardtop Mustang, the Grande included wood trim in the cabin, such as on the doors, the dash, and near the glove box, as well as vinyl seats and special lights on the doors. The exterior was further customized with new side mirrors and a vinyl hardtop roof that looked like leather.

Ford didn’t build too many of these - the American manufacturer produced a little over 22,000 Mustang Grande units in 1969 before dropping the output to some 13,500 cars a year later.

So it goes without saying that a 1970 Ford Mustang Grande isn’t that easy to find, especially in a condition that allows it to be restored to factory specifications.

And yet, someone on eBay claims they have one, as seller azdaboog has listed a 1970 Mustang Grande that has recently been pulled from a barn where it spent its last two decades.

A quick look at the photos in the gallery shows everybody this Mustang doesn’t come in its best shape, but on the other hand, there’s nothing that a thorough restoration shouldn’t be able to fix. At least, that’s what we can tell at a quick visual inspection, but you should still check out the car live before the purchase.

Sold as a rather high-optioned model, this Mustang comes with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. Under the hood, there’s a 302 V8 engine that still works, and the best news is that no parts are believed to be missing.

Given its current condition, this 1970 Ford Mustang Grande doesn’t come with a hefty price tag, as the seller expects to get just $3,300 for it. It’s parked in Iowa should you want to inspect it live.
