The 1970 Mustang brought a series of changes, both in terms of styling and under the hood, and two of the most notable were the reintroduction of the single headlamps and the debut of the 351 (5.8-liter) V8 engine replacing the previous 351W V8 option on some specific versions.
But none of this matters when you check out the Mustang we have here, and it’s all because this 1970 model has turned into a genuine bucket of rust that is painful to look at.

It’s pretty clear from the very beginning this Mustang has been having a hard time lately, so whoever has the guts to get the car for a full restoration and actually manages to do the whole thing certainly deserves a prize.

According to the owner of the car, this Mustang comes with a 9-inch rear end and still features front drum brakes, and surprisingly, the frame rails and the rocker panels are allegedly still very solid. The roof looks in somewhat decent condition too, though there’s obviously a huge amount of rust that needs to be dealt with should a restoration be planned.

Floors unsurprisingly need massive repairs too, though judging from the photos included in the listing (and which you can also check out in the gallery here), they could still be saved.

As one would expect, there’s no engine on this Mustang, but the seller says the car was once powered by a V8 unit paired with an automatic transmission.

So how much is this once a 1970 Mustang actually worth? The seller expects to receive $5,495 for the car, but the “Make Offer” button has also been activated should you want to reach out to them and discuss a potential deal.

The vehicle is parked in Ballston Spa, New York, for anyone who wants to check it out in person and see just how much of it can still be saved.
