For Sale: 1970 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

The numbers-matching V8 and terrific paperwork already make this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 quite desirable. But when you also see the level of restoration everywhere from the sleek paint to the clean undercarriage, you start to realize just how much of a total package classic this one is.

This one makes a striking first impression. The receipts tell us it's an easy 2000s restoration, and when you pay for quality, it lasts. That's why the fit of the panels, the shine of the chrome, and the vividness of the finish make you instantly attracted to this coupe. And speaking of the paint, the Calypso Coral is a great color that gives you the same boldness as some red, but a rarity from only being offered on the Mustang for a few select years. So finding a Code 1 (Calypso paint) Mach 1 is 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 interior color. All the right stock pieces are still in place, including the plush carpeting, taut headliner, and plenty of smooth wood-like trim. You'll also appreciate the details, like the fold-down rear seats, AM radio for display, and working clock. And it feels extra thoughtful in the way the lights under the dash and in the sail panels greet you when you open the door. And the high-back bucket seats, center console, and wood-rimmed steering wheel remind you that the Mach 1 is a driver's car.

This is the numbers-matching block, but from the moment you open the hood, you can tell there has been some nice work in the engine bay. It has the crisp shine of a solid investment. And you'll like the supporting components everywhere from the hood hinges to the aluminum radiator. The 351 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. it exhales with authority as long tube headers feed the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. 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, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission are great for any time enjoyment.

This is a unique pony car, and so to make sure you can show it off correctly the sale comes complete with the original dealer invoice, owner's manual, build receipts, maintenance records, and the Marti Report. It all makes for a classic that impresses for more than just its shine. Call now!
