Vehicle Description
This classic is midnight on wheels. A factory blacked-out 1970 Ford
Mustang with the Mach 1 package, enhanced stroker V8, and all the
right documentation means this muscle machine is just as good at
turning heads as it is at stalking prey.
This pony was born looking this aggressive, but it takes the right
investments in care and maintenance to continue the sinister
appearance in the modern age. The factory-correct black paint
currently benefits from a clearcoat shine that really showcases the
1970's body curves. Now, take a closer look... that glossy black
paintwork is contrasted by the Mach 1's matte black hood stripe,
hood scoop, front air dam, rear stripe, and rear spoiler. This
double-black appearance is a very cool presentation that instantly
gets respect no matter if it's lit by sunlight, or midnight neon.
But it isn't just the dark elements that add the aggressive
attitude. Hood locks, mirror-like bumpers, complete trim, and a
modern take on Mag wheels all add bright intimidation.
The forceful attitude continues with an all-black interior. From
the door panels, to the seats, to the center console, to the dash,
everything in this Mustang looks like midnight. But Ford also was
going for a premium attitude during this time, that's why the
darkness is broken up by wood paneling on these surfaces, too. This
is setup nicely for the driver with a T-bar shifter for your right
hand, and the factory-style three-spoke steering wheel for your
left one. Beyond that is a nice set of gauges to monitor the
essentials, including a tach. And if you look closely, you'll see a
few well-placed upgrades. For example, the radio is an
AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer, and just below that is a set
of auxiliary readouts make sure you have a complete picture of
what's going on under the hood.
You'll love opening the hood on this beast at car shows. The engine
bay has the same dark and sinister appearance as the rest of the
car, thanks to the painted fenders and large shaker hood scoop.
You're looking at a date-correct V8 that started out life as a
correct 351 engine, but the upgrades go well-beyond the cool Cobra
valve covers. This is now an amazing 393ci stroker motor that
inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with
authority out of long tube headers that feed the rumbling X-pipe
dual exhaust. The full package is estimated to produce 500
horsepower, and you better believe it has the growl to back it up.
And speaking of backup, this monster V8 has all the right support
components, too. The three-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt
at the same time as the motor to performe at its best, and it sends
the power to a stout Ford 9-inch rear end running 3.00 gears. Plus,
the front disc brakes and grip of BF Goodrich T/As make sure you
can easily tame this beast.
This classic comes complete with the owner's manual, reproduction
window sticker, maintenance/restoration receipts, and a Marti
Report so you can verify that this mean pony car was born looking
this way. It's a full intimidation package that's turnkey ready for
this weekend. So are you going to be the hunter of the prey? Call
