1970 FORD TORINO GT CONVERTIBLE 351 CLEVELAND V8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH A/C! 100% MATCHING NUMBER CAR IN STORAGE SINCE 1979 UNRESTORED Hello Rare Ford Collectors! What we have just posted here is a Very Unique and Rare Unrestored 1970 Ford Torino GT Convertible! This Unreal Fantastic 2 Owner Storage Find has just been fully detailed and cleaned top to bottom and serviced for sale for the first time in 40 years! This "70 GT Torino started life here in Colorado on May 15th, 1970 at the Garsney & Wheeler Ford Dealership in Greeley, Colorado. The car was Purchased New by Mr. Barton & Barbara Thiele of Steerling, Colorado and then Sold on March 30th, 1973 to Mr. Melvin Mertens of Merino, Colorado. The Clean and Clear Colorado Title shows all this documentation and also the Ford Dealer Card with in service dates and codes. Mr. Mertens has owned this car since 1973 and it was his dream car when purchased while attending College at the University of Denver, Denver Colorado. There are some docs and stickers from that era that were carefully removed and saved. One Parking sticker is still on the Factory glass convertible rear window that was saved from the original top in 75. Overall This 70 Torino was babied since day one with no rain or snow days if at all possible and put away every winter after 1975. The car was always maintained and serviced and has had no major damage or mechanical issues of any kind according to the owners. The car was repainted once in the late seventies and then stored away for only summer days only driving a total of 2,500 miles since 1979! The documentation on this is shown with the Denver Inspection Tag still in Place on the original front windshield, lower drivers side from 1979. The car had 91,485 on the day of inspection 9/14/1979 and today 2/17/2021 currently has 94,077 miles. As stated by the second owner Mr. Mertens the car was put away after 1979 only to be used on sunny dry days seeing only 2,500 miles since.
Overall this car is as original as i have ever seen in alot of years collecting and restoring classic cars. This one was as dry and clean as i have ever come across.
Please see the hundreds of detailed Photos to show all of these aspects of the cars underside and all the close up details! !
The interior is absolutely original with no bad areas anywhere. Original Visors, Door Panels, and Seats, Note (Lower front seat repaired, now perfect) Carpet, and even the Trunk plaid 70"s pattern Rubber Matting. The Spare is the original F-70-14 Goodyear Custom Wide Polyglass Tire from the Factory with Jack and all Accessories in beautiful shape. All the factory rims have the factory marks on the back, purple and white mark dots. Factory rare marks on the Axel, the Engine, the Gas filler door, all verify this unique preserved "70 Ford GT build from the factory for a well documented "Original Car" category in judging.
The cars exterior paint is great and no issues after 40 years show the nice body and absolutely rust free condition of the car. Please see all the photos to verify this. The cars Glass is all original with dates and codes, the weather-stripping is all original and beautiful fit and soft. The window fuzzies are all soft and the rubber seals are all perfect.

The Power top goes up and down very quick and had no issues and fit beautiful! The seals at the windows is also great and tight with no play. The mechanical is great starts and runs with ease and has alot of power with the sought after "Cleveland Motor" build and not the Windsor! Everything under the hood is original and even the battery cables. The Heater and the A/C Operate and the A/C will need a recharge, but it is free and all serviceable, no missing parts, or belts. Rear end is tight and no leaks. Shocks are older, but function fine.
