The Ford Mustang Mach 1 was a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang muscle car, originally introduced in August 1968 for the 1969 model year.
Ford changed the visuals of the Mach 1 in 1970 with the body that included dual-beam headlights, recessed taillights on a black honeycomb rear panel, side scoops behind both doors removed, revised bucket seats, deep dish sports wheel covers, as well as new side and rear badging and striping.

Mechanics
Our Mach 1 has a 351 cubic inch H-Code engine in it and has been modified with a 4-barrel carb, aluminum intake, Shaker hood scoop air cleaner assembly, Edelbrock finned aluminum valve covers, power steering and brakes, blue performance spark plug wires, updated distributor, and Accel yellow coil providing the sparks, tube headers and exhaust routed out the dual exhaust out the rear, aftermarket radiator, and the engine sitting in a clean, painted, and detailed engine compartment.
It starts easily and makes great torque, a muscle car trademark, and you’ll find that the engine loves to rev and never seems to run out of breath with the 4-speed transmission that makes for performance cruising.
It rides on factory style chrome Magnum 500 wheels and fat BF Goodrich T/A radial raised white letter tires.
Interior
The 1970 Mustang looks as good as it did when original and is both comfortable and sporty from the factory with the black high-back buckets, 4-speed shifter, matching rear seat and door panels with woodgrain trim, black carpets, Ford’s twin-cockpit design puts a quartet of gauges ahead of the driver all wrapped in woodgrain, a wood steering wheel, and a passenger analog clock, updated radio, and a great headliner.
Exterior
Our Mustang looks great in its new Grabber Orange paint, and being a one-year only design, has the fabulous look that includes the fastback profile. Then add in the blacked-out shaker hood scoop, hood pins, black Mach 1 rocker panels, front and rear spoilers, and black stripes on the hood, and this is a terrific muscle machine.
Our Mach 1 wears the chin spoiler, rear window slats as well and emits a rumble from the V8.
