Ford ceased its official racing activities in 1970, but not before they won the Trans Am title in a pair of Bud Moore-prepared Mustang Boss 302’s driven by teammates Parnelli Jones and George Follmer. The Mach 1 also was triumphant in the SCCA Manufacturer’s Rally Championship. This showed the great versatility of the Mustang Mach 1 platform in that it ran over 8,000 total rallying miles on all kinds of roads in all kinds of weather and finished every grueling stage with split-second precision. In real world terms, it had to have sprint-like acceleration, holding a tight line when cornering, brakes that won’t fade and have the power to ram your way through clogged mountain passes. The Mach 1 won these rally’s because of mechanical attributes that includes a balanced wide-track chassis, sports car suspension design with front and rear stabilizer bars, heavy-duty springs and shocks, plus wide-rim wheels.

The Mach 1 offered here is fitted with the extremely desired and robust 428-cid Cobra Jet V-8 engine partnered with a four-speed manual transmission. The car is fitted with dual color-matched racing mirrors, Ram Air, power steering, power brakes and dual exhaust. This Mustang has a rear spoiler, front chin spoiler and chrome Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear white letter tires. The paint is finished in Grabber Orange with very beautiful white high-back bucket seat interior and console-mounted transmission shifter.

Inside the car, the dash is adorned with woodgrain dash and trim panels. It also has a radio, clock and deluxe three-spoke steering wheel. The superb restoration on this car was recently completed by marque specialist. It is reported that the components of this Mach 1 are correct to this car.
