43,223 Actual Mile Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet 4 Speed

This amazing 1970 Mustang Mach 1 practically defines “investment grade” with original paint, trim, and 100% matching numbers. The stack of trophies this car has behind it aren't just cruise-in handouts, but national senior first prize awards from the AACA, where authenticity matters.

The body is beautifully finished in the original Medium Bright Blue Metallic, and yes it is factory paint that's now 42 years old. Panels are laser straight, alignment of the various components is as new, the trim is original, and all the glass is factory-issue. This car wrote the book on authentic Mach 1s.

With big advertising on the hood calling out '428' there is no secret about what lives under the hood. As a national first prize winner, the engine bay has been detailed for concours competition and is exacting in notable way. Correct markings have been used throughout, and reproduction tags have been applied in all the proper locations.

There's a Toploader close-ratio 4-speed behind the engine spinning a 9-inch with 3.50 gears on a limited slip. The floors are satin black and show zero indications of previous rust or damage, and all the hardware is OEM. Correct paint daubs have been scattered throughout, and those unusual argent steel wheels are framed by a set of correct reproduction Firestone Wide Ovals.

The high-back Clarion Knit buckets are right at home in the sporty Mach 1 and are quite comfortable for long hauls. Matching door panels were installed during the restoration, and fresh carpets and a new headliner round out the roster of new soft parts inside. The trunk has been finished with a correct mat, space-saver spare and complete jack assembly.

This Mach 1 is the nicest available anywhere, with documentation and a string of awards behind it, powered by the most desirable powertrain. If you've been looking for just the right Mustang in which to invest, you simply will not find one better than this stunningly original Mach 1 survivor.
