Vehicle Description
A numbers-matching 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in a rare and original
color. It even has an interesting performance history. Survivor
cars might be hot right now, but when it's also one of the most
desirable Mustangs even made, you know this is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
Calypso Coral was only offered for a couple of years on the
Mustang, but it's one we love. After all, if feels like Ford's
answer to Hugger Orange. And so to have this factory-correct paint
also be factory-original is a serious find. While nothing lasts
nearly half a century without some ageing, you can see from the
pictures that this still has the kind of gloss and shine that will
make you proud even it wasn't a survivor. This car was sold new out
of sales region #22, which is Charlotte. It stayed within the same
family for most of its life, and now it's being sold again still in
its original sales district! In fact, this one was babied so much
over its lifetime, that it's even believed that the mileage is
actuate. More than just a terrific story this, has the attraction
of being a one-year only design for the Mustang. Plus, we all love
the look of a true Mach 1 that includes the fastback profile. Add
in the hood scoop, hood pins, rocket panels, and black striping
package on the hood and tail, and this is a terrific survivor-grade
muscle machine.
There is no better muscle car interior than black, but getting down
to speedy business doesn't mean missing out on comfort. After all,
the texture of the factory-correct Comfort-Weave buckets have
comfort right in their name. Plus, Ford was giving the Mustang an
upscale feeling on these upper-level Mach 1s, and you see it in the
coordinating wood applique on the center console, radio stack,
dash, and door panels. It's even on the rim blow steering wheel
(and yes, the horn still works - a big sign of good care for
Mustang people.)
When you pop the hood, that cool shaker dominates your view of the
ultra clean engine bay. But you still can easily see all the right
details like the big blue block and correct decals. And more than
just looking great, you're viewing Ford's legendary 351 cubic-inch
Cleveland V8, and the powerhouse is numbers-matching! There's even
more to this car's performance tale. The story goes that this one
was purchased new in the Charlotte area, and within the first few
months, the owner took it back to Ford to have the Super Drag Pack
added. That meant swapping the three-speed for a four-speed manual
transmission, and a 3.91 rear end was installed for better power
takeoffs. They even added the iconic shaker at the time. Not many
dealers world do that kind of work today! So not only do you have a
great story on a survivor Mustang, but also this is an improved
machine where the Hurst shifter is now your gateway to so much more
muscle car fun. Add in power steering, a thick front sway bar, and
a growling newer Magnaflow dual exhaust, and this is the perfect
Mustang to enjoy the long way to the car shows.
Complete with title documentation, rarely do powerful ponies also
qualify for survivor status. So don't miss this special classic
