Vehicle Description
This expertly restored 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is exactly the
right mix of original and updated. For example, it started life as
a proper 351 V8 fastback, and now that displacement is a
tire-burning 408 cubic inches. And you take full advantage thanks
to a five-speed manual transmission upgrade. So as you look over
all the great details, from the period-correct color to the A/C
interior, you soon see the best of everything in one irresistible
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 color
seems like the perfect pairing every time this one would pull up
next to a Hugger Orange Camaro at the stoplight. But rarity back
then means this year-correct color really stands out today. More
than just the right color, you'll 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. As you get in closer
for the details, this one still doesn't disappoint. That's what you
get with a frame-off restoration car.
All the black accents on the exterior are a great preview for the
deep black interior. You've got all the right pieces that make you
love these later first-generation Mustangs. This includes options
like the Comfort-Weave bucket seats, AM/FM radio, center console,
and premium wood-like trim of the Mach 1. But even with these
vintage pieces have a fresh feeling that comes from a solid
investment. Plus, they also give you the right upgrades. Some are
for comfort, like the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. Other
updated features remind you this is a driver's machine, like the
grippy wood-rimmed steering wheel, auxiliary readouts, and the
Hurst shifter.
When you pop the hood, that iconic 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. It has
the kind of clean factory look that will make you proud to show it
off, but what you'll really love is getting this one out on the
road. After all, the tidy V8 is really a beast lying in wait. It's
a 408 cubic-inch stroker motor that inhales deeply with a
four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority as headers feel
the dual exhaust. Plus, you have the right supporting components
like an MSD ignition and a Griffin aluminum radiator w/dual
electric fans. The Tremec TKO600 transmission means a stout unit
with five gears to really take the best control of the powerband.
As you look at the undercarriage photos, you're going to see more
signs of a fresh build, and even great details, like the correct
red oxide paint. Plus, you'll spot more great driving features,
like front disc brakes, rear traction bars, power steering, and
modern tires on the upgraded 17-inch alloys.
Complete with build receipts and restoration photos, this is a
distinct and powerful pony car that has everything you want. So
don't let it slip away, call today!
