History:
This Mach 1 was fully restored in Texarkana & completed in 2008-2009. And since then it is rarely driven, and then only to attend Mustang shows. The restoration was completed to original Ford specifications, using all original parts. The engine, transmission, and rear differential are all original and numbers matching. The engine was put back together all standard with the original crank & pistons! This concours restoration enables you to show this muscle car immediately! The chassis is clean and still shows well including the correct red oxide primer painted on the bottom. And the car has all its original sheet metal except the left and right front inner fenders in order to get the radiator core support out because it needed replacing (You could never telljust full disclosure because no tricks or gimmicks on this car). It includes all the cool Mach 1 items like front/rear spoilers, hood scoop, black out treatment, styled steel wheels, and dual splitter tail pipes. The car has great paperwork including three binders full of receipts, documentation, and owner history, and PICTURES & Disks detailing the Restoration. And since the restoration, continued attention & maintenance have kept this car in concours condition.
The car was purchased by the restorers father in 1980 from an Air Force Sgt in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It spent most of the time he had it stored in the back of his shop in Crary, ND. After his death, his son inherited the car & moved it to Texarkana in 2005. After retiring from the Army that year, he began the restoration project.
If you’re looking for a truly collectible Mach 1 that is loaded, ready to show, and will stand out in a crowd, this is it! A every-time show winning, dealer favorite car!

The car has all the emmission controls required for a national non-California car, & it is exactly as it left the factory.
