Vehicle Description
Immediately identifiable as a Mach 1 from the NASA hood scoop and
also from being immortalized on TV and in the movies, this pony
looks great and is ready to run! But please don't treat it like
they treated Eleanor in Gone in 60 Seconds. It's too pretty and you
wouldn't want to scratch it.
Gold Glow is the color of this car and it is the factory original
color recently refreshed. The bold black stripe on the hood
captures and outlines those iconic hood scoops which are painted
on, and the hood is held down with chrome hood pins. The black
grill with a galloping Pony backed by red, white and blue stripes
is underlined by a body colored bumper and a deep chin spoiler. A
bold black stripe runs down the side of the car with Mustang in
script on the front fender and Mach 1 in the stripe on the rear
fender. The fastback roofline of this car is almost flat as it
slopes down to the rear wing sitting up on its twin perches on the
trunk lid. At the rear, another black stripe with Mach 1 lettering
surrounds the Mustangs familiar triple taillights and is underlined
by a newer chrome bumper with a couple chrome exhaust tips peeking
out from underneath.
Open the door and you will be greeted by a nice interior in subtle
shades of tan. The door panel has a nice geometric pattern and has
horizontal lines underscoring it. The high-backed bucket seats have
pleated centers with smooth vinyl surrounding it in geometric
patterns. A two-spoke steering wheel with a Mustang horn button
sits in front of a wood-toned dash with a black dash pad. The tach
and speedo are tucked back deeply in their pods with oil pressure,
voltage, and temperature gauges off to the right in the wood of the
center console. A Motorola stereo sits just below them and the
T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission sits in its own
console on the floor. The carpeting is gold with built in vinyl
sections in the floor, and the back seats will fold down for a bit
more storage space.
Open the hood and you will find a 351 cubic inch engine nestled
down snugly in the engine bay. It is completely stock with the
original blue air filter housing and valve covers showing their
survivor patina. These engines have great low-end torque and
drivability, and with a true dual exhaust system, they sound pretty
good too. Power is sent back through a 3-speed automatic
transmission to the rear axle sitting on leaf springs with a fresh
set of shocks. Front disc brakes sport new calipers and brake lines
to assure good stopping performance and a sway bar to assure good
handling. The rubber meets the road through BFGoodrich 255/60R15s
in the back and 225/60R15s mounted on chrome Magnum 500 wheels.
Come on down and check out this beautiful Gold Mustang Mach 1. And
if you are the lucky one to drive it home, take care of her
please.
