| 1971 Mach 1 |
Lot: 671.1
This breathtaking Calypso Coral exterior along with the original Vermillion Mach 1 interior has been treated to an extensive true "nuts and bolts" concourse rotisserie restoration utilizing "New Old Stock" (N.O.S.) where necessary and to the most exacting standard. It has multiple automobile awards in recent history (including Mustang Club of America Gold Class), it was featured in Mustang Monthly magazine, June 1999 and this car is the only car ever produced with its options (a true one of one) as MartiAuto Works Elite Report reflects. This beauty is a stand alone not only with head turning looks, but also in rarity. Equipped with the tremendous performing 351C-4V engine, this Mach 1 is also made for serious enthusiasts. Add to that, the FMX transmission and limited slip 9 inch 3.00:1 rear end and it is easily seen this car has plenty of mettle in stock form. This early production unit's interior is intact with its original and very comfortable Clarion Knit/Corinthian vinyl high back seats and complete with the optional Sport Deck rear seat in back. This car also comes with an all N.O.S. shaker hood painted Calypso Coral with correct stripping and associated air cleaner assembly as well as the original hood also painted Calypso Coral with correct striping with its stock scoop and associated air cleaner. Option of hood selection - either ready for immediate installation- is a very nice asset. To look in, around and under this incredible automobile, it is soon found to be as a piece of art with regard to meticulous restoration and detailing. The finished product is indeed as close of replication of how it appeared when sold at at the Redwood City, California Ford dealership very near where it was manufactured at the San Jose, California plant (Milipitas, CA). No train ride to destination dealer for this gorgeous automobile.
