INTRODUCTION: This Mach 1 keeps all of its original appeal but
packs serious pro-touring firepower. It's running a 527-horsepower
motor topped with stacked fuel injection, backed by modern comforts
like air conditioning, power windows, Hydroboost brakes, and
upgraded steering. Born a real Q-code Mach 1, it wears a desirable
white-on-white color combination. It's also a featured magazine
car-proven, documented, and absolutely show stopping.
EXTERIOR: These fastbacks were very European looking with their
long front ends and short rear decks, the rear window is almost
laid flat! Being a Mach 1 it really brings it with a scooped NASA
hood, sport mirrors, stripes and it even has optional spoilers. The
body was restored and is rust free, it's smooth from the rockers to
the roof. Professionally painted at a restoration shop called
Horsepower, located in PA. White is the original color and it is
polished glossy with virtually no flaws. The hood has the satin
finish black hood patch painted on, the side stripes are decals. Up
front the rubber bumper, the grille and trim are excellent.
Upgraded halogen H4 headlights to brighten up the night. In back
the honeycomb tail panel, trim and chrome bumper look great. It's
rolling proud on a modern set of Magnum wheels, they are billet US
Mags: 18x9s in front, 18x11s in back and wrapped in performance
tires.
INTERIOR: Upgraded white interior and it is looking good! The
molded door panels have been replaced, the seats have been
recushioned and upholstered. I love the white with the black racing
stripes. The dash pad looks new, the instrument panel looks very
good and it has a great looking set of Dakota digital gauges
including a clock. The AM radio is actually a retro stereo with
Sirius satellite capabilities, hands-free calling and has 6x9
speakers. The heater control panel is upgraded with Classic Auto
Air electric slide controls. Sitting in the original console is an
American Powertrain 5-speed shifter. The car was updated with an
American Autowire wiring system, the interior lights work and it
features power windows! The headliner and visors have been replaced
and the carpet looks fresh. Upgraded 3-point retractable seat belts
and the owner's manual is in the glove box.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Here is an exciting surprise! The 351CJ has a
Dyno sheet and is clocked at 527 horsepower with 537 lbs of torque!
Completely rebuilt by Racekrafters, it is bored and stroked to a
395cid, has Eagle crank and rods, Mahle pistons, Comp roller cam
and lifters, Trick Flow aluminum heads, Jet Hot coated Hooker
headers and the crown on top is the stacked Inglese EFI. It looks
amazing and functions great, each cylinder was tuned individually.
It gets its spark from a Holley distributorless ignition. The front
of the motor has a CVF polished billet runner system including
polished brackets, serpentine pulleys, mini compressor, PCS power
steering and one wire alternator. It runs cool with an aluminum
radiator, water pump and overflow bottle along with dual electric
fans. A hydroboost brake system works well with a Wilwood master
cylinder. There are chrome support bars, polished billet hinges and
polished aluminum valve covers. It's complete: squirters are hooked
up, it has a billet battery hold down, the cowl grilles and seal
are in place and the horns work.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's very clean, painted nicely and has a
carpeted mat and tire cover over the spare. It also has a working
trunk lamp.
UNDERSIDE: Completely rebuilt steering and suspension including
upgraded gas shocks, front and rear swaybars and Caltracs traction
bars. Custom fabricated stainless exhaust with Borla mufflers.
Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors and a
custom e-brake system. New fuel system compatible with the fuel
injection and a custom stainless tank. Looking up at the motor it
is clean and has a high torque starter. Upgraded with an American
Powertrain Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual with a hydraulic clutch. A
rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 9 inch rear with 3.25 posi
gears. The floors were replaced, there's no rust and it's painted
nicely.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: This Mach 1 does it all! It still has 1973 nostalgia
and now performs like a well mannered street beast. The white on
white combo will attract onlookers, wait til you show them what's
under the hood!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
