Vehicle Description
1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1
In October of 1947, test pilot Chuck Yeager accomplished something
widely thought to be impossible due to an aircraft not being able
to withstand the shock when it happens. He proved them wrong by
breaking the sound barrier (Mach 1) on October 14, 1947. At the
altitude he was, he had to be going over 662 MPH.
Fast forward to 1970 and we give you, from a consignment, this
1-owner, original documented mileage, frame up restored body and
Cleveland engine Mach 1. Always garaged, always maintained, always
run for fun only, it is very hard to find fault with this beautiful
example. Everything is straight, everything is right, everything
looks like it just left the showroom.
Exterior
Build plate T code says Candy Apple Red all in its 2006 restoration
gleaming respray glory. Hard to find fault with this paint coverage
everywhere you look. A matte black hood stripe with a shaker hood
scoop can be noted on the pony long hood. Only a minor frown on
this hood in that is has a very slight bend on the driver's side
making the gap a bit higher on this side. Black louvered fastback
glass takes the viewer to a matte black spoiler, as well as
indented taillights, with a black stripe running horizontally
above. Brite work, badging and chrome is all correct and in near
showroom condition. Magnum 500 Chrome wheels are on all four
corners. The 1970 front grille is the most menacing of all the
Mustangs and has been emulated even in newer versions of this
moniker. This '70 is no exception.
Interior
Also, the interior was a recipient of a 2006 restoration, with
correct high back black vinyl buckets, dash, round gauges, faux
veneers, padded vinyl dash and carpets all three and all correct,
and seemingly barely used. Headliner is in line with the rest of
the interior, very nice! A Hurst shifter is sitting proudly within
the center console, and research shows for this 1970 this was put
in during the 2006 restoration.
Drivetrain
A Cleveland 351ci 4V (Code M on Vin plate... The 351ci-4V was
marketed as a high-performance engine, featuring large valves and
ports and a closed "quench" combustion chamber) producing 300hp in
pristine condition over and under, has a consigner stated $10,000
spent on the 2006 restoration. It is not known on exactly what was
put into it, as the list is not specific as to exact parts, however
there is documentation that shows money was spent! A 4-speed manual
transmission is bolted on back of the impressive (clean and
powerful) mill. Power front disc brakes are installed.
A restored to perfection very low mileage example of an iconic
muscle car, garage kept, and never beaten or raced. Extra options,
and a stout Cleveland engine make this a very desirable Mustang.
