Take some extra time to appreciate this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1. It's not just that this is priced nicely for a numbers-matching 351 V8 car, or that the Marti Report shows this is unique enough to be a one-of-one car. The appeal of this coupe is all of that, and the knowledge that this restored classic has had one owner all its life... and he kept the right records. Light Ivy Yellow is a great color for nostalgia. This factory-correct hue reminds you of those 1970s earth tones, but it's also not so polarizing that it's never out of style. More importantly, as you check out the Marti Report, this color was so seldom used on a real-deal Mach 1 is only one of 20 ever made. When you factor in a few more options, this is a one-of-one car. So yes, you're looking at a rare Mustang. In fact, the tires are so important to making this a singular muscle machine, that a set of proper Firestone Wide Oval tires comes with the sale. While the history already has you convinced, take some time to appreciate the full presentation. This rare coupe has been under the same care all its life, and it even received a restoration in 1998 where the paint was taken down to bare metal, so that the original color has a fantastic appearance today. Of course, all the right Mach 1 pieces were returned, too. It has all the best aggressive features like the hood scoop, chin spoiler, hood latches, and bold black stripe package with callouts built right in. The aggression continues the length of the car with the black lower body moldings with correct Mach 1 badging. Plus, there's no missing the full-width rear spoiler and Mach 1 rear stripe package. Inside are all the correct features with a few subtle upgrades. The black exterior stripes are a great introduction to the all-back interior. The Comfort-Weave bucket seats are in great condition, so they can live up to their name. All the right stock pieces appear in place, from the center console, to the heat/defrost controls, to the three-spoke sports steering wheel. Plus, there are a few welcomed upgrades that give this interior true distinction. The topper on the shifter is now a modern bright beacon calling out for your right hand, and the retro-style radio is a more modern AM/FM/cassette so you can listen to more tunes while you cruise around in this special Mach 1. When you pop the hood, this one feels like a time capsule. With all that bold blue on the block, valve covers, and air topper. Plus, it even has all the right reproduction decals. And more than just the presentation, this M-code car has its correct and original 351 cubic-inch V8. This was a nice upgrade back in 1970, and so it even has its original Autolite four-barrel carburetor on top. Since you have the correct, more powerful V8, you'll also be glad to have full control over it with the original three-speed manual transmission. As you look over the undercarriage photos, you'll see more great signs of investment from the rebuilt front end to the Flowmaster dual exhaust. All of this creates an ultra-desirable classic that's original where you want it and updated where you need it. The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, title documentation, owner's manual, restoration photos, Marti Report, and a host of original components (call for details.) A one-of-one classic Mustang will always grab attention, and in fact, this one already has hundreds of awards! So you know this is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at a snowflake Mach 1. Don't miss out, call today!
