The 1970 Ford Mustang saw a slight design change. Up front, the Mustang now had
it's headlights stuck into the grille with scoops on the outer area of
the grille set up in a three-line horizontal fashion. Going into the
interior, the steering wheel was changed, but the Decor Group option
was available for an extra nudge of comfort and beauty. Besides that,
not much changed inside or anywhere on the car. As with the 1969 model
year, the Boss 302 and 429 were offering such great performance that
the Shelbys were becoming "less-needed" and not as exciting. This was
the final year of Shelby Mustang production.
