Vehicle Description
Ultra low original miles, iconic lines, a distinct color, plenty of
recent servicing, and a original 351 V8 under the hood - that's
what makes this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 a great total package.
It seems odd that Ford didn't offer Calypso Coral on the Mustang
for more than a couple of years. After all, the aggressive orange
seems like the perfect pairing every time this one would pull up
next to a Hugger Orange Camaro at the stoplight. But regardless,
the limited availability makes finding a Code 1 (Calypso paint)
Mach 1 an interesting treasure. More than just the right color, you
love this because 1970 was a single-year distinct design, and the
sleek Mach 1 was the best looking of them all. After all, it mixed
the slick sports back profile with beefy features, like the large
air scoop, deep chin spoiler, hood twist locks, optional rear
window slats, and large rear spoiler. Plus, the full hood stripe
package and blacked out rear panel look great against the bold
color.
We love it when the exterior accent color is a preview of the
inside color. All the right stock pieces are still in place, from
the comfort weave bucket seats, to the heat/defrost controls, to
the wood trim on the doors and dash. But you can also tell there
have been some nice upgrades along the way. For example, the center
console now has a more conformable armrest and the space for cup
holders. The AM radio has been replaced with a modern Kenwood
AM/FM/CD stereo. The steering wheel now feels great with a smaller
diameter and grippy Grant GT unit.
This is the original numbers-matching block, but from the moment
you open the hood, you can tell there has been some nice investment
in the engine bay. There are a ton of new components, including
water pump, power steering unit, wires, and the fan blade. It all
keeps cool with the large Champion aluminum radiator. The 351
cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and
it exhales with authority as long tube headers feed the growling
dual exhaust. While we know you're going to enjoy the power and
sound this Mach 1 makes, you'll also find it's quite an easy
driver. Features like the power steering, front disc brakes, and
three-speed automatic transmission are great for any time. There
even has been a recent investment in new front bushings to keep
this feeling tight on the road.
This one comes with everything you want, including the Marti Report
and reproduction window sticker. This unique and muscular Mustang
Mach 1 is turn-key ready to go home with the first pony car fan.
