Mustang Mach 1

Description

1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 

For consignment, a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach I with a massaged 351ci V8 engine, Tremec transmission and a Marti report.  It's a stunning car and while we can never predict how long a car will be in our Hallowed Halls, we think this one might be whisked away at the speed of sound.  

Exterior
There are few birds as deeply black as a raven, and this car wears Raven Black in spectacular fashion.  Mach 1's always have some black accents including the hexagon clad tail piece, wing, and shaker top and while it contrasts with other colors, they blend beautifully with our black car.  A charcoal hood stripe is coordinated with a tail accent where Mach I is displayed in the center.  For 1970, single headlights are flanked by open fins, unmistakable and a favorite of some, and with the recent passing of Parnelli Jones, his 1970 racer is all over the internet and bound to renew interest.  And it's hard not to be interested in this black beauty, wearing 17-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with staggered sized 40 series tires and sporting the only roof available for the Mach I, the fastback, or as it was called in '69 and '70, the SportsRoof.  Dual exhaust tips protrude out the back and having been all the way around the car, we could not find any flaws to point out. 

Interior
In 1970, Ford switched from dark walnut woodgrain trim to dark teak trim and the two are so close, it's often hard to distinguish.  But the woodgrain panel is a highlight on the door panels which also include smoothly sculpted plastic and a carpeted lower, all picking up the black grains of the wood.  Tall front bucket seats are in great shape with tuck and roll inserts with a weave pattern adding to the texture complexity.  Rear 2+2 seats are smaller buckets with the same pattern and the sidewalls and rear shelf are unmarked and clean.  A tongue and groove wood steering wheel presents to the pilot with three sport spokes connecting to a Mustang branded center cap.  The faux woodgrain gauge pod contains four circles of instrumentation, and an extra temperature gauge has been added below the dash.  A gaping center section is seamless and smooth and tops an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player with AUX and USB capabilities under which we find the climate controls.  A clock and Mach I plate are housed in another faux woodgrain panel in front of the passenger while a Hurst T-handle shifter is in the center console which also is home to some woodgrain features.  Black loop carpet adorns the floor in good condition and the black stitched headliner is unblemished.  The trunk is lined in black carpeted pieces, and a few will need to be reattached in the otherwise clean trunk.  

Drivetrain
Opening the hood, we find the shaker top over the air cleaner, a period appearing battery, and Cobra embossed valve covers.  This is a 351ci Windsor V8 with a Comp cams .493i/500e lift, 218i/224e duration @ .050 110 lobe separation.  A Holley 650 cfm 4-barrel carburetor supplies the fuel, and a 5-speed manual transmission is underfoot. That transmission is a Tremec TKO600 with an upgraded 31 spline output, 26 spline input, bronze shift fork pads, internal shift linkage upgrade, and Liberty threaded front cluster bearing support.  Power is sent to the back wheels and a Ford 9” rear with 3.00 gears.  Headers lead off the exhaust system and power brakes, disc front, drums rear, bring forward momentum to a stop.  

Undercarriage
Other than some road spray and the occasional spot of surface rust, the underside is clean and dry.  The dual exhaust enters a pair of FlowMaster mufflers before exiting under the bumper.  Coil spring suspension is used up front and leaf springs in the back.  Minimal grease buildup around the grease fittings but otherwise hardware is free and clear of debris.  

Drive-Ability
She fired right up with a mighty roar and smoothly shifted into gear with plenty of power at your beck and call, we slowly rolled it around the test loop to find every function working properly save for the heater blower that didn't blow on the low speed setting.  The interior is clean and comfortable and aside from that modern radio, is a time capsule to 1970. 

An ecology professor once told me ravens are the only bird that uses flight for fun, while other birds use it for getting from point A to point B.  The Mach I is like a raven, capable of getting from point to point, but better used for fun.  A stunning car with a one year only design in a desirable color.  Hit the afterburners, it's time to go supersonic and make the call today!
