Vehicle Description
The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of
the Ford Mustang, originally introduced by Ford in August 1968 as a
package for the 1969 model year. The Mach 1 title adorned
performance oriented Mustang offerings until the original
retirement of the moniker in 1978. As part of a Ford heritage
program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a high performance
version of the New Edge platform. Visual connections to the 1969
model were integrated into the design to pay homage to the
original. This generation of the Mach 1 was discontinued after the
2004 model year, with the introduction of the fifth-generation
Mustang. With the title "Mach 1" comes the expectation of
performance. This breed of pony was built to leave everyone else at
the start line. The Mach 1 was not only aggressive in performance
but also looks and stance. The package was only available in the
Sportsroof body style, never hard top or convertible. It came with
upgraded suspension varying on the choice of power train. The Mach
1 was so successful in 1969 that it led to the discontinue of the
GT.
