Fun fact, the Mach 1 becomes single-handedly liable for killing off the Mustang GT, eclipsing the latter in phrases of income and inflicting it to go extinct till Ford finally resurrected the GT moniker in the early 1980s.

Now, even among so many different Mach 1s that we’ve showcased, this one manages to face out in stunning fashion. According to Bring a Trailer, the car has been absolutely refurbished. It’s got a brand new replacement taillight panel, quarter panels, rear outer wheel wells, rear body rails, new trunk, and the front floor pans, simply to call a few. It becomes additionally repainted in its manufacturing facility Silver Jade finish, which becomes continually taken into consideration a completely unique color.

The indoors is truly gorgeous, providing high-back bucket seats, black vinyl upholstery, new dashboard, door panels, guidance wheel, headliner, shifter bushings, seat belts – the works.

As for the 351-ci (5.7-liter) V8 engine, it too becomes rebuilt. It now works along an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, March Performance chrome pulley system, MSD digital ignition, JBA Performance exhaust system, and an FMX three-pace automatic.
