Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Ford Lauderdale is excited to present this very rare, 1970 Ford Mustang MACH-1 in white & black on blue, equipped with the pavement frying 429 Cobra Jet V8.
This sleek Ford was built on February 17, 1971 and sent to Drew Ford in Lamesa, CA where it sold the very first time on September 1, 1971. It is one of only 160 in these paint and trim colors, and only one of 177 with the 429 CJ and C6 automatic transmission combination. It is nicely optioned with the convenience group, power steering, rim-blow steering wheel, sport deck rear seat, power disc brakes in front, air conditioning, AM radio, tinted glass, tachometer, and of course, the 429 Cobra Jet. For you numbers guys, the VIN prefix 1F05C and we have the Marti Report.
Still sporting it's original colors inside and out, the overall condition is very good plus- and what a sleeper! Most people think the 1971-1973 Mustangs are just big and heavy- and nowhere does this car tell it's would be challengers it's packing a strong 429 under the hood. In fact, this car has the same horsepower, more torque (and nearly identical power to weight ratio) as a 1969 GTO with a Ram Air IV in it. It is no slouch with factory ratings of 370 horsepower and 450 ft. lbs. of torque... and with the 1971 (net) horsepower ratings, you had better bet that 370 horse rating was below what it really was. It runs strong and drives very well.
The inside is a nice light-medium blue bucket & console arrangement that is cockpit like- all business and just cool. The fold-down rear seat gives it a two-seater feel like and AMC AMX, and provides considerable more storage space. This car really stands out with the condition, correctness and unaltered aspect throughout- which on top of it being a low production car, it makes it one very desirable, investment-grade American legend.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
