Vehicle Description
Mustang fans, this is how you build the ultimate restomod. Take
arguably the best-looking Mustang of them all, paint it in an
outstanding coat of Silver Metallic finish, give it a insanely
powerful 5.0L Aluminator supercharged crate motor and a 6-speed
manual transmission, then go have some fun conquering the classic
car world. Showing only 1,495 miles since it was finished by the
pros at Dotson Tuning, this is an extremely high-quality 1970
Mustang Mach 1 Restomod that's ready to devour and obliterate any
challengers on both the asphalt and the show circuit.
It may be a little difficult to tell from our photos (mainly
because the color combination matches our photo booth floor), but
this is one of those rare cars that's even nicer in person than it
looks in HD. Tens of thousands of dollars are wrapped up in the
bodywork and paint job alone and it absolutely shows. The expertly
applied Silver Metallic paint is just the right shade for the
killer Mach 1 design, further punctuated by those awesome gloss
black stripes, and the bodywork is basically excellent in every
way. It's not perfect only because perfect is too subjective of a
concept and this car has been driven and enjoyed a little since it
was painted, but man, this car sure gets insane attention here in
our showroom. When it was delivered, we actually saw groupies
following the car through our doors; grown men with their jaws
dropped, slipping on their own drool. And what stood the most was
the fact that many of those enchanted admirers actually work here.
The Mach 1 was arguably the best-looking Mustang of all time, and
with upgrades like the custom Shaker hood with pins (the particular
hood on this Mach 1 was fabricated from the combination of three
separate Mustang hoods to achieve the desired look), chin spoiler,
honeycomb tail panel, and rear wing, it certainly looks the part of
a high-performance pony. Special Mach 1 pieces like the rocker
panel moldings are beautifully finished and the blacked-out stripe
treatment is expertly applied, and you'll note that the decal
spelling out the motor's cubic inch displacement was conspicuously
left out. We'll have plenty more on that later. Chrome bumpers
sparkle against the silver finish and all the stainless trim has
been polished up to look great. This is a really impressive
car!
The beautiful interior has been fully restored as well, complete
with black racing buckets and a fold-down rear seat for
practicality. The high-end black upholstery is in fantastic shape,
covering all of the soft surfaces including the dash, center
console, steering wheel, and door panels, and it's all accented
with elegant white stitch work. Despite some choice modifications,
which are quite frankly improvements on the OEM materials and
equipment, the cabin maintains the spirit and feel of an original
Mach 1. This very point speaks to the high-level and skilled
craftsmanship of the builders of this beautiful muscle car. Options
include power windows and locks, a sporty steering wheel atop a
tilt column, an electronic emergency brake, and a full A/C system
with modern R134a hardware and vents that were very cleverly
installed inside the upgraded dash. There's a cool 8-ball shifter
for the modern 6-speed manual underneath, and the woodrgrain
accents found on the middle console, dash, and door panels add a
touch of sophistication and warmth to the cabin. All-new
digital/analog gauges show vivid markings and bright, clear lenses,
and their modern hardware ensure a precise and accurate report on
the supercharged violence under the hood. A retro-style AM/FM/AUX
stereo radio almost looks factory-issued, which is purposeful in a
car that's built like this, and it powers the kickin' Diamond
speaker system installed throughout the interior. There are Mustang
floor mats to protect the plush carpets and the trunk is neatly
finished and houses a relocated Optima battery and Diamond
subwoofer.
The blasting powder under the hood is almost unreal, with a fresh
5.0L Aluminator V8 crate motor that's been further empowered with a
VMP Performance Supercharger system. For lack of a better word,
it's actually been detuned to approximately 900 horsepower, which
means it may actually lose a race to a rocket ship. But only by a
car length or two. The engine bay presents like a super car, with
that big blower up top, Powered by Ford valve covers, and plenty of
detailed and polished components throughout. An aluminum radiator
keeps the powerful engine at proper temperatures, while custom
headers feed the Magnaflow stainless dual exhaust system with
X-pipe to give it a spectacular sound. All that power is
transferred to a Tremec 6-speed manual with an upgraded clutch, so
shifting is easy and smooth through every gear. There's a custom
front end underneath that helps with rigidity and handling,
adjustable coilovers in the rear, power steering, Wilwood 4-disc
power brakes, and big sway bars that help this Mustang completely
eat up corners drive incredibly well at any speed. Blacked-out
American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels look fantastic with
high-performance Nitto radials wrapped around them.
Beautifully built and ferociously fast, this is a car that nails
the restomod movement perfectly: killer looks, unreal performance,
and lots of comfort. Call today!
