SUMMARY
A simply stunning Mustang Mach 1, now rare in the UK and fresh from a wonderful restoration.
DESCRIPTION
- This fabulous Mach 1 Mustang rolled off the production line on 07/10/1970 as one of the first 1971 model-year examples and was shipped to the UK in 1972 and registered here
- Finished in Dark Green Metallic with Argent Silver Mach 1 decals and a matching Mach 1 Sports Interior in green leather, it's powered by a 351ci (5,753cc) Q-code Cleveland V8 generating 285bhp @ 5,400rpm through a 4-speed manual gearbox.
- Evidence of caring ownership from its early days here comes in the form of around 40 old MOTs dating from its first in 1975 up to 2004 and many more since and a raft of invoices dating back to the 1970s
- Having been sold to a new custodian in the last few years, the car had recently suffered a small wiring fire from the distributor that damaged the front end and bonnet specifically
- Sam Hard, YouTuber and owner of Hard Up Garage, a long term Mustang Enthusiast, had already considered buying this Mach 1 previously but had missed the opportunity. Subsequently, he heard about the electrical fire and felt he could not leave it to its fate and was able to acquire the Mustang last summer
- Hard Up Garage have now returned the car to its former glory. Whilst the interior was untouched in the fire, the car has now had an engine-out front end respray, new radiator, brand new grille, bumpers, lights, stainless steel exhaust and more
- Sensibly guided, this rare 1971 Mach 1 already has many tales to tell, but can now begin another chapter in its interesting life in the UK
