Buy the time 1970 rolled around the innocent, legendary "Pony Car" had morphed into a full blown "Muscle Car". Leading the line up from Ford was the Mach 1. Debuting in 1969 sales were strong and subtle changes were in store for 70. The out board headlamps were replaced with simulated air intakes, side stripes gave way to a cool lower cladding, quarter side scoops were removed, and the tail lamp section was flushed. Other than that many of the Sportsroof body was intact from the previous year. The beautiful Nugget Gold car you see here is very nice. It features a good body with a functional hood scoop, Mach 1 rear & hood stripe, front/rear spoilers, dual sport mirrors, and rear window slats. The louvers served to keep temperatures down in warm weather. Power comes from a rebuilt 351 Cleveland V-8 backed by a smooth shifting 4 speed transmission. Power front disc brakes, power assisted steering, and factory air conditioning are welcomed additions to this fine car. The ginger "comfort weave" high-back bucket seats are in great shape. A full console has a Shelby style gauge pod instead of an ashtray. It also has a new dash pad and Pioneer CD stereo with 6x9 speakers in the front doors and rear package tray. The chrome Magnum 500 wheels and Goodyear GTII radial tires are brand new. It was restored back in 2005 and still looks fresh. This is a good looking car with plenty of power and great handling. If you ever wanted a Mach 1, now is your chance. Financing, insurance, and delivery are available.
