Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1970 Ford Mach 1. The Mach 1
package was only available in the 'SportsRoof' body style
(previously known as the 'Fastback'); never on the hardtop or
convertible. Many resto-mod visual conversions have since been
performed by owners and enthusiasts, but are not Mach 1's by VIN
code. The Mach 1 started with V8 powered 'Sportsroof' body and
added numerous visual and performance enhancing items such as matte
black hood treatment with hood pins, hood scoop (including optional
Shaker scoop), competition suspension, chrome pop-open gas cap,
revised wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, chrome exhaust tips
(except 351W 2V), deluxe interior, livery and dealer optional chin
spoiler, rear deck spoiler, and rear window louvers (SportSlats).
Mach 1s came with upgraded suspension to varying degrees dependent
upon powertrain choices. Big block cars had front shock tower
reinforcement, thicker sway bars (no rear bar for 69), and heavier
springs and shocks. 428 CJ/SCJ 4 speed cars also came with
staggered rear shocks. Standard on Mach 1s was a fierce but
cosmetic hood scoop that had integrated turn-signal lights mounted
in the back. A more functional option was the signature "Shaker
hood", an air scoop mounted directly to the top of the motor, used
to collect fresh air and so named for its tendency to "shake" above
the rumbling V-8 below. The interior came complete with teak wood
grain details, full sound deadening material and high-back sport
bucket seats. Ford kept the Mach 1 alive into 1970 and little
changed other than the visuals. The 1970 body included dual-beam
headlights with the previous inner headlights becoming sport lamps
and recessed taillights on a black honeycomb rear panel, side
scoops behind both doors removed, revised bucket seats, deep dish
sports wheel covers, as well as new side and rear badging and
striping were the main visual differences. 1970 saw the previous
351W V8 engine options replaced with a new 351 cu in (5.8 L)
Cleveland (351C) V8 in either 2V (for use with 2-venturi carbs) or
4V (for use with 4-venturi carbs) versions. The 351C 4V (M code)
engine featured 11.0:1 compression and produced 300 bhp (224 kW;
304 PS) at 5400 rpm. This new performance engine incorporated
elements learned from the Ford 385 series engine and the Boss 302,
particularly the poly-angle combustion chambers with canted valves
and the thin-wall casting technology. Options include: Power
Steering,Power Brakes, Rally Wheels, AM/FM Radio w CD, Vinyl
interior, radial tires. To view the car in greater detail,
