This is just a great-lookingand#44; great-driving 1970 Mach 1. Thats it. Welland#44; actuallyand#44; thats quite a bitand#44; because its also one of the most popular pony cars of all time and this particular pony offers some well-chosen upgrades that dont dilute the original spirit yet enhance the driving experience in a big way. Bright yellow was one of the more popular colors in 1970 and as a resultand#44; this Mach 1 looks pretty authentic. The paint is a few years old and while they were doing itand#44; they replaced the rear quarterand#44; which seems to have aged a little differently than the rest of the bodywork. Its not that noticeableand#44; but if you want perfectionand#44; fresh paint would be a wise investment. Neverthelessand#44; the kick-up behind the doorsand#44; the pointed hood with a built-in scoopand#44; and a deep chin spoiler all work together to make this car aggression on four wheels. With proper stripes running along the hoodand#44; the ribbed rocker moldingsand#44; and Mach 1 callout on the rear fasciaand#44; theres no question what model this is. Out backand#44; you get the honeycomb rear paneland#44; classic three-element taillightsand#44; and a deck lid spoiler that looks better here than on just about anything else with a wing this side of an F-14. They kept the chrome bumpersand#44; so theres a bit of sparkle at both endsand#44; and window slats are always welcome on a fastback Mustang. Mustangs offered a great driving environmentand#44; and this car comes complete with Comfort-Weave bucket seats (in blackand#44; of course) and a center console. The seat covers and door panels might be original or older replacementsand#44; and the carpets are in excellent condition. The stock instruments are in excellent conditionand#44; and theyre joined by auxiliary dials down on the consoleand#44; so you can monitor the warmed-over 351 under the hood. The 4-speed Hurst shifter (with T-handle shifter) falls easily to hand and feels natural the first time you drive itand#44; and the woodgrained accents on the console and door panels are part of the Mach 1s upscale sport theme. A modern AM/FM stereo has been stuffed in the original radios location and the factory wood-rimmed steering wheel is in excellent condition. The trunk is finished with some sound insulation material and what appears to be an original space-saver spareand#44; a rather rare find all by itself. The engine is a great-running 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8. Originally a 428 carand#44; the Cleveland probably makes nearly as much power with far less weight over the noseand#44; so its a tidy handler. With a lopey cam insideand#44; the small block is an outstanding runnerand#44; particularly with an Edelbrock intake manifoldand#44; a 4-barrel carb up topand#44; and that functional Shaker hood scoop. With the finned Mickey Thompson valve covers and bright yellow wiresand#44; it has a 60s performance look and it really is a neat fit in the Mustangs engine bay. Backed by a 4-speed and a 9-inch rearand#44; you dont need to worry about romping around with your foot on the loud pedaland#44; especially since youve got front disc brakes to help keep you out of trouble. A reproduction exhaust system gives it that traditional Mustang sound and Centerline aluminum wheels are a direct bolt-on. Thanks to those modern hoopsand#44; it also carries grippy 215/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear performance radials that elevate the cars performance in a big way. Full of potentialand#44; this Mach 1 doesnt worry about pedigrees as much as having fun and looking great. This is an affordable way to enjoy Fords most in-demand pony car. Call today! |
