1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Description

Invest in the stock market if you like, but I'd much rather park some money in this show-quality 1970 Mustang Mach 1. In terms of appreciation, this highly pedigreed fastback offers an awesome (and correct) black-on-black color combination, a Marti Report and a fresh restoration with fewer than 1000 miles on it. And just try having this much fun with your stock portfolio.

There aren't many more intimidating cars from the muscle car era than the Mustang Mach 1, particularly in black. Featuring all its original panels, this sportsroof looks truly spectacular following a comprehensive restoration that is ready to start collecting the big trophies at the important shows. Fit and finish are extremely nice, as you'd expect from a car with a resume like this, and the final product is impressive. The incredible black paint is miles deep, better than anything coming out of Dearborn in 1970, and with the satin black stripes it takes on an especially brutal look. The usual spoilers front and rear, hood pins, and Mach 1 graphics are subtle on the black paint, giving it a stealth fighter look that's insanely appealing. Chrome bumpers, honeycomb-style insert on the tail, and cool oval exhaust tips give it a little extra eye candy, and all of it is expertly restored to show standards.

The black Mach 1 interior is all business, but what a business to be in! Fresh seat covers, new carpets, reproduction door panels, and a whole bunch of other new stuff means it's comfortable, accurate, and ready to show or go. Woodgrained dash panels and console warm things up a bit, but given the relative lack of options and butch color combination, you know this car was built for combat, not comfort. There's an AM radio in the center of the dash and a full set of gauges that look good, but other than the console and shiny shifter, this one is all-business. A fold-down rear seat adds practicality, especially useful for the guys who raced on Sunday and drove their Mustangs to work on Monday, and the trunk is nicely furnished with a correct mat, full-sized spare, and a correct cover.

Ford makes it tough to determine matching numbers, but there's every reason to believe that the 351 cubic inch V8 under the hood is this car's original powerplant. Beautifully detailed and accurately restored, it wears its Ford Blue paint with pride, along with the original air cleaner and reproduction decals. Other show-ready perks include the stamped coolant hoses and correct clamps, reproduction battery, and correct plug wires. Underneath, you can tell they spent extra time on the chassis, with red oxide primer on the floors, detailed suspension components, and a rebuilt C4 3-speed automatic transmission. The 9-inch rear end is framed by a new dual exhaust system with snarling Flowmaster mufflers and has been correctly detailed with a satin black housing and red oxide center section. A new gas tank, shocks, and freshly painted driveshaft only add to the high-point detailed look. Correct Magnum 500 wheels wear staggered 245/60/15 and 275/60/15 BFG radials for a slightly more aggressive look.

Documented with a Marti Report and restoration photos, this high-quality Mach 1 delivers on the promises that its glossy black finish makes. Call today!
