1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1. This nut-and-bolt restored Mach 1 is a true 05-code example, combining classic styling with modern performance upgrades. Powered by a 351 CI Cleveland V8 with 4V heads, it features an Offenhauser aluminum intake and a Holley 4160 4-barrel carburetor. The engine is paired with a C6 automatic transmission and an Eaton Tru-Trac limited-slip rear end with 3.55 gears, delivering strong performance and reliability.
The exterior is finished in Medium Brown Metallic with Ginger Poly accents, complemented by black Mach 1 hood stripes, a NASA scoop, and a vinyl roof. The car rides on 17-inch 10-spoke wheels with simulated knock-offs, wrapped in M&H street slicks on the rear (P275/40R17) for enhanced traction.
