1970 Raven Black Frame off Build

green61bug · May 1, 2018

There is a black uncut sport for sale in VA on facebook marketplace for 10gs right now. Black is one of my favorite colors on an EB.

Yup Raven black is rare. I have a 1975 Raven black bronco Marti says it is one of only 223 that year that were black and mine is a sport with all the trim so it is one of 167.
Unfortunately mine has had a hard life and is no longer black. They do look sweet in black and I wish I had the time or money to bring it back to what it was before!

Rats! Too bad it didn't have the number sold info.
But it is a great bit of info on the EVAP system. We knew that sometime in '70 they started installing the charcoal canister, but haven't narrowed it down with a chart yet. But now we know that at least by June of '70 they were being installed. At least for CA sales.

Do you know what dealer 71A070 is?

Thanks for the info.

No but I just paid the extra fees to get more info.... As soon as I get it I will post.

DirtDonk · May 2, 2018

Great. Thanks
Looking forward to seeing more info. Can't believe I haven't taken the time to order mine up for the '68. Got the full Monty for the '71 though. Framed and in the garage!

That’s the one I ordered... “color copy, suitable for framing.”

Looks great! Ours could be twins.

DirtDonk · May 3, 2018

So only 360 out of however-many thousands. Not that common I'd say.
It lists over 14,000 with that engine and trans, but that's not the total production since in '73 you could get the automatic or manual.

Thanks!

Is there a spot in one of the original paint threads where we can list how many were made for a particular year? Might be a good place to start.

Nice, only 38 with that paint & trim! Cool indeed.
Delivered not far from one of my girlfriend's place near Paramount and 60.
Montebello Motors is now Montebello Auto Center.

Stayed pretty rust-free did it? Or after all these years did it manage to insinuate itself into the metal somewhere anyway?

The only rust was under the rubber floor mat (very surface... not even pitting) and it was sandblasted. I'm telling you, its perfect
