Vehicle Description
Mustang fans, you're in luck. This 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a
bargain compared to its investment-grade siblings, so if you're
looking for a genuine Mach 1 you can drive, here it is!
Few will argue that the 1970 Mustang isn't one of the best-looking
designs of the muscle car era, particularly in fastback form. But
before we talk about performance and engines and all that, take a
look at the special Mach 1 gear this one wears, including the hood
scoop, chin spoiler, and Mach 1 rocker panel callouts. Other
goodies include a set of aftermarket rear window slats and black
tail spoiler, neither of which make the car go faster but they
definitely look like they do. The awesome Acapulco Blue paint is
one of the most popular colors, and even though it's got some use
and age on it, nobody's going to complain when they hear the rumble
of the V8 underneath. You could give this one a color sand and buff
to really take it up a notch or two, because, honestly, there
aren't many cars that are more deserving. Even as it sits,
everybody loves a Mustang fastback.
High-back buckets sport Ford's patented "comfort-weave" upholstery
which is just that: a woven vinyl that's surprisingly comfortable
and helps keep you cool. Matching black door panels and carpets
were installed at the same time, completing the upgrade and looking
very tidy. Ford's twin-cockpit design puts a quartet of gauges
ahead of the driver, all wrapped in faux woodgrain, while the
passenger got an analog clock for symmetry. All the gauges show
clear faces and remain fully functional, and there's an upgraded
AM/FM stereo radio in the dash which feeds speakers cleverly
installed in the rear seat side panels. It shows only a few signs
of use, further proof that the comfort-weave upholstery wears like
iron and that someone took exceptionally good care of this car. The
trunk is finished with a heavy mat, a full-sized spare tire
assembly, and a spare tire cover.
The engine is a correct M-code 351 cubic inch "Cleveland" V8, which
has been upgraded with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and
matching intake manifold, so it's plenty potent and a blast to
drive. The block is covered in Ford Blue paint that is just the
right shade, along with some finned valve covers and a big
open-element air cleaner with a reproduction decal on top. It
starts easily and makes great torque, a muscle car trademark, and
you'll find that the Cleveland loves to rev and never seems to run
out of breath. A 3-speed C4 automatic transmission makes for
relaxed cruising, ably assisted by a 9-inch rear full of highway
gears which make high-speed blasts completely effortless. Long-tube
headers were ceramic coated so they'll look good practically
forever and a Flowmaster exhaust system gives it that bark that
Mustang fans love so much. The undercarriage is clean but not
detailed, but that's all you really need anyway, because this is a
car you're going to drive. Magnum 500 wheels with spinners look
almost new and carry fat 235/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials.
Few Mustangs command the attention of a Mach 1 fastback and now you
can own one for a fraction of the price of its big-block siblings.
