Let's be honest about it: the standard Mustang is a very intriguing model, but the Mach 1 is the model many people are drooling over.
Someone on eBay claims they have an unmolested Mach 1, and based on the Marti report and the provided photos, it's a solid project with clean metal and minor metal problems.
I hate to tell you what the eyes can see, but the Mach 1 exhibits clean quarters (also original), solid frame rails, and nice trunk pans.
The solid condition is unexpected, especially given the vehicle's age, but the listing doesn't disclose many essential details. Theoretically, this Mach 1 has likely served as a donor for another project, as it comes with many missing parts. However, it's hard to tell if this is the case, as seller jeff76impala says the Mach 1 is still unmolested.
While the vehicle no longer has the carpet, the headline, the radiator, and other parts, the most disappointing part happens under the hood.
The Mach 1 used a 351 engine with a four-barrel carburetor, but the mill is no longer in the car. It's unclear what happened with the original engine, but I supposed somebody installed the 351 and the original transmission on another Mach 1. You must find a period correct 351 to bring the car back to factory specifications, as this is the only way to retain the Mach 1's magic.
The seller doesn't provide us with a look at the door plate (all Mach 1s use the 63C code), but the Marti report confirms it's the model everybody wants.
The vehicle rolled off the assembly line with the 63C code on the door plate, wearing the Silver Jade Paint with a black-out hood treatment. Obviously, it no longer shines bright like a diamond, as it requires the typical restoration work, but chances are the original paint is still on the body.
This Mach 1 is not a rare model, as the Marti report reveals that Ford produced over 6,700 Mustangs with the same pint code and 4,513 units with the same engine and transmission.
However, finding a Mach 1 in such a great shape is rare, and it's probably why so many people entered the battle to take the car home. The seller posted the vehicle on eBay as part of a no-reserve auction, and the battle is already fierce. The bidding reached $12,900 earlier today, with over 40 people fighting to win the battle. The auction will end in approximately three days, so you know what to do if you want this Mach 1.
Meanwhile, if you live close, you still have enough time to see it in person. The car is parked in Tyler, Minnesota, so go see it and bring your trailer to take it home.
