Vehicle Description
As far as Mustangs go, the Fast Back models or later known as the
Sports Roof cars were definitely the most attractive on all
accounts. And the first Generation Mach 1 that was only built for
two years did not disappoint, especially when it was equipped with
the "Holy Grail" of options like this 428 Super Cobra Jet, R-Code,
4-speed "Drag Pack" car. I will get right to the point on this car
considering if you are unaware of what a Mach 1 is then this is not
the car for you. First off, this car was purchased by the consignor
in 1971, where he immediately changed the color from red to
Wimbledon White at the age of 18. The seller has been working on
cars long before then and still today. He has amassed a very nice
collection of cars and Fords are what he knows best. The latest
restoration kept the car white but the body, frame and everything
else were done to Factory Specs. The non-original engine was pulled
and sent to Mikes Competition Engines where it had a full work up
and then put on a dyno with scores coming out at 460 HP with 513
Foot pounds of Torque. This car is a factory R-Code with original
build sheet to prove it. The car comes with the original oil
cooler, oil pan, heads and intake manifold. It has a 780 CFM race
ready carb, the original close ratio 4-speed, shaker, 9" housing
and 31 Spline Axles. It also has a Hurst competition plus linkage
and Wilwood disc brakes for stopping power. There is little else we
have offered that runs, sounds and drives like this car. It has
some great history and is well worth the asking price.
