The Mustang Mach I featured here is a great example of the sporty final generation Mustangs. The Mach I is available only in the Sportroof, the VIN decodes on this Mustang to a true Mach I equipped with the 351 Cobra Jet V8. This is an attractive car painted in bright red with black trim. The paint has been well applied and polished to a nice luster. Bumper chrome and related stainless trim is well maintained and likewise presents with a nice shine. The correct Mach I decals are present and properly applied. Front chin spoiler and rear deck spoiler along with the rear window louvers add a level of 70's machismo that still presents as current and stylish today.

Inside, the black interior presents as largely original with new carpet. There are some signs of light wear throughout. Interior trim is highlighted with simulated wood trim and two-tone seat upholstery. The dash features the factory gauge package with 120 mph speedometer, factory tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature and voltmeter. The factory Ford AM/FM stereo is still present in the dash along with a factory clock in the console as well. Gear selection of the 4-speed is left to a Hurst shifter.

The engine bay presents well. Clean and tidy, the 351cid/246hp Cobra Jet 4bbl V8 backed by a factory 4-speed is the centerpoint of the engine bay. This car was originally equipped with air conditioning. However, the under-hood compressor and related A/C equipment was deleted. Options include power front disc brakes with rear drum brakes and power steering. A new gas tank has been installed, along with fresh dual exhaust that flows through chamber style mufflers that dump just in front of the rear differential. This Mach I rolls on a set of shiny Magnum 500 chrome wheels.

The styling of the 1973 Ford Mustang Mach I is timeless and looks as sharp today as it did when first revealed at Ford dealers in 1973. This car will turn heads on the street and at cruise-ins or cars and coffee events. This Mustang is more than a show pony, equipped with the Cobra-Jet V8 and 4-speed, this 70's muscle is fun to drive and make spirited runs through the gears.
