- Jim's Awesome 1970 Mustang MACH 1
1969 was the benchmark year for Ford Mustang in its proliferation of performance names and engines. No fewer than six factory performance Mustang models were available (GT, Boss 302, Boss 429, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500 and the Mach 1). Additionally, seven variations of V-8s were available in the '69-'73 models; most of these also available in the new Mach 1.
Due to the Mach 1's success, the GT model was discontinued after 1969 following poor sales of 5,396 units versus the 72,458 sales for the Mach 1. The Mustang would not wear the "GT" badge again until 1982.
The Mach 1 package was only available in the "SportsRoof" fastback body style[4] (previously known as the 'fastback'); never on the hardtop or convertible. Many resto-mod visual conversions have since been performed by owners and enthusiasts, but are not Mach 1's by VIN code.
All first generation Mach 1's are distinguished by the body style code 63C on the door data plate.
The Mach 1 started with a V8-powered SportsRoof body and added numerous visual and performance enhancing items such as matte black hood treatment with hood pins, hood scoop (including optional Shaker scoop), competition suspension, chrome pop-open gas cap, revised wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, chrome exhaust tips (except 351W 2V), deluxe interior, livery and dealer optional chin spoiler, rear deck spoiler, and rear window louvers (SportSlats).
Standard equipment was a 351 cu in (5.8 L) Windsor (351W) 2V motor with a 3 speed manual transmission, and a 9-inch (23 cm) 28 spline open rear axle. A 351W 4V was optional as was a 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE, and the huge 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet 4V with or without Ram Air, and even the introduction of the "drag pack" option with the modified 428 cu in (7.0 L) Super Cobra Jet engine. A 4-speed manual or 3-speed FMX (small block)/C6 (big block) automatic transmission was optional, and the 428SCJ added a cast iron tailshaft in place of the regular aluminum one to the C6. A "traction lok" rear axle was optional, and the 428 CJ/SCJ included a "traction lok" with a 3.91 or 4.30 ratio, 31 spline axle shafts and a nodular case. In 1970, the 3.91 ratio was a "traction-lok", while the 4.30 ratio was a Detroit Locker.

Mach 1s came with upgraded suspension to varying degrees dependent upon powertrain choices. Big block cars had front shock tower reinforcement, thicker sway bars (no rear bar for 69), and heavier springs and shocks. 428 CJ/SCJ 4 speed cars also came with staggered rear shocks. Standard on Mach 1s was a fierce but cosmetic hood scoop that had integrated turn-signal lights mounted in the back. A more functional option was the signature "Shaker hood", an air scoop mounted directly to the top of the motor, used to collect fresh air and so named for its tendency to "shake" above the rumbling V-8 below. The interior came complete with teak wood grain details, full sound deadening material and high-back sport bucket seats.
In 1968 racecar drivers Mickey Thompson and Danny Ongais took three Mach 1 Mustangs to the Bonneville salt flats for a feature in Hot Rod magazine, in the process setting 295 speed and endurance records over a series of 500-mile and 24-hour courses.

That is the cleanest Mach 1 I have ever seen.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful car. My brother has a beautiful 1970 Mach 1 in Grabber Blue, with the 351 Cleveland 4 barrel engine for sale. By the way, it’s all original.
Thanks we couldn’t agree more, and thanks for watching!
Those Keystone Klassics always look like they were designed specifically for Mustangs imo. Awesome looking ride. 69 fastback is my dream car. Had a lot of coupes but never a fastback.
Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I'm usually not to fond of silver as a color but this thing looks great.
Oh I have to tell you, even our video and pics didn’t do it Justice! It’s spectacular! Thanks for watching
these are my favorite cars 1970 and the 69
Completely agree. Thanks for watching
Awesome looking 1970 Mach1😲😍👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Even more perfect and beautiful in person.
Had a 1970 Mach 1, yellow with the 428 cobra Jet, hurst , traded it in on 1 Datsun B-210 wagon when the first kid arrived.
Sadly, that’s a common story of many young families. If only we could do it all over again! Thanks for watching
Nicely done, one suggestion. Rename the chanel " Old guys in jeans that don't fit standing in front of the car blocking the view."
Ha! Not ha ha because it really wasn’t funny 😄
They were under rated @ 300 HP
Thanks for watching!
Nice look. Looks better without the louvers. I had this same car, with a Hurst four speed. Interesting that there's no "Ford" emblem on the exterior.
It’s a beautiful restoration and he’s won several trophies to decorate with. Thanks for watching
There's many videos on the tube about the Cleveland putting out 360 horsepower
Ok
What a beauty
It most certainly is. Even more beautiful in person. Thanks for watching
Looks great but it's gotta be the 428 super cobra jet 4 speed
Yup
He slowed the car down by putting that 650 on there the auto light is a 735 CFM he should have put a 750 double pumper on that at least with those size heads that thing can handle an 850 Holley no problem
Thanks for watching
Let’s see what’s in the boiler room.
Thanks for watching
I have a 1970 Mach1 351 4V 4 speed original un restored I bought 50 years ago today. Its still sports its factory Medium Lime metallic paint job and has louvers spoilers and Factory Ford Magnums. 75,000 original miles.
Who was that masked man
Batman!
Batman! Thanks for watching!
A Cleveland could handle a 1150 dominator
Thanks
