"Nice ride. I love the "mudder" tires in the first pic. I'm guessing daily driver at that point."
In those days you swapped 'smooth' tires for 'ground grips' come winter. Car had 32K when purchased w/ the original F70-14 Wide Ovals. I put F78 studded on immediately; I recall spring '74 being one of the latest on record. Daily driver it was; I ran the wheels off the first yr & a half between cleaning/polishing every Sat morn. Got a truck in '75 cause I knew 'Pumpkin' was a keeper.
"Amazing how rims can change the look 100%."
Don't they though!! To me, the Magnum 500 belongs on a Mustang. I found this set of 4 original Ford Magnums (all markings/stamps correct; must have been purchased over the counter) stateside for a good deal. At least until Customs got involved. I still have the original 14x7 steelies, full cover disks & one original Wide Oval. Thanks for your comments!

All original 1970
"Beautiful car...love the colour!!"
I was in my middle teens when this car was built; Ford was SERIOUS about TransAm; the factory cars were Grabber Orange. From then I wanted a Grabber Orange BOSS 302 w/ white interior but never did find one among the Mustangs I looked at. Pic attached shows the interior & my daughter.
"Very nice! Hard to believe it still has the original paint!"
Truthfully, in some areas the paint is worn thin fr polishing, but they're only original once. This car was sold new in Prince George BC; if anyone knows some history of it I would appreciate contact. Thanks again!!
