The Appeal
First hitting the market in 1969, the Mustang Mach 1 was part of Ford’s continuing interests to push the limits of the iconic pony car. The Mustang had been launched to great fanfare in 1964, and as Chevrolet and Pontiac continued to pump out their muscle cars, the Mustang platform seemed the perfect fit to fight them off and capitalise on an existing reputation.
It was a huge success - the resultant car was so packed full of grunt that GT wasn’t sufficient to describe it. As a result, they called it the Mach 1.
This example, stocked with the ever-impressive 5.8L Cleveland V8, comes with plenty of period character - with a simply exceptional interior.
Highly original - and highly presented - black vinyl interior
No known modifications save for new carpets
Highly presented instruments, all in good working order
Original radio unit is still in situ
Modern ‘Realistic’ high-spec speakers installed to the rear
Impressive Mustang-branded steering wheel
Nicely contrasting brightwork with a gentle patina
Impressive sports seats, free of rips and tears with a rich grain
Door cards are in excellent condition
Headlining and carpets in good order throughout
Protective Mustang-branded floor mats
Round the back, the boot is in excellent order with solid floors and a spare wheel
Impeccably preserved, this Mach 1’s interior is a simply excellent cabin - perhaps one of the finest we’ve seen. Fitted out in the Mustang’s quintessential black vinyl, the seats carry a beautiful grain and still look good and firm, ready and waiting for the next would-be petrolhead to sit in them.
The carpets, the dash and the door cards are all in excellent condition, with no signs of major wear across the board and a superb, nicely polished finish. There’s a gentle patina to the chromework and steering column, but these are barely noticeable.
Exceptional exterior styling with angular panels and scoops
The factory classification of this was the 05 VIN code - the ‘SportsRoof’ style
Panel fit is excellent with no dents or dings
Attractive two-tone paintwork in yellow and black
Some light wear around the car’s arches and doors
Glasswork and lenses in excellent order throughout
Branding is all clean and well-presented
The car is sitting atop Fenton Super Shark wheels, which are in good order
These are shod in a full set of Cooper Cobra tyres which are newly fitted
Underneath, the car shows light signs of wear - but is largely excellent with only very light surface corrosion
Mach 1 specific features, all factory spec including:
Colour-keyed plastic front ‘spoiler’ bumper, front fender and hood trim
Honeycomb grille with sports lamps
Matching honeycomb rear trunk panel
Mach 1 decals on fenders and trunk lid
Black lower body accents
Pop-open filler cap
The aesthetics of this Mach 1 speak for themselves. It’s a remarkable-looking car - aggressive, sporty and loaded with character. If the Mustang looked good, this looks utterly fantastic. Everything here is in good, solid order with only light age-commensurate wear - which does nothing to detract from its overall presentation.
With ample black plastic trims, plenty of branding, its unique honeycomb grilles and that sweeping profile, this is a car that lives and breathes speed at first glance - and we’ve no doubt it’ll turn plenty of heads on the road.
Packed with the desirable H–Code 351ci Cleveland V8 powerplant
3-speed automatic transmission
Unique competition suspension with HD springs and shocks
Recently underwent servicing and repair with new tie rods
The car is reportedly starting instantly with minimal fuss
The car is idling well with no reported faults
We’ve not been informed of any leaks, knocks, bangs or smoke
Popping open this impeccable bonnet reveals the much-loved Cleveland V8, presented in excellent condition with plenty of lovely, clean metal. The car has been recently serviced, and has clearly received the thoroughbred preening it’s deserved.
With no reports of leaks, knocks, bangs or smoke, the car is working exactly as you’d expect - and with that meaty V8 packed into its prodigiously trimmed hood, it’ll be quite the treat to drive.
Beautifully kept, in an attractive colour scheme and boasting an excellent interior, this stylish twist on the legendary Mustang is a guaranteed winner. These cars aren’t a common sight on the market, and rarely come to us in this sort of condition.
Whether it’s to jam the pedal to the medal and see how fast it can fly, or strictly as a jewel in the crown of your fleet, you’d be hard pressed to find a better Mach 1 than this one.
