Number鈥檚 matching 4-owner 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 M-Code powered by its original legendary 351 Cleveland motor putting out 300 h.p. Current mileage on the odometer shows 117,000 miles but the car was restored approximately 20,000 miles ago in 2000 by the 3rd owner (receipts for engine rebuild are included). Current owner purchased the car in 2009 and has only put 6,000 miles on the Ford. Original wide ratio top loader 4-speed is backed by the original 9鈥?Ford differential with traction-lock and 3.25:1 gears. Interior has been reupholstered including the fold-down back seat, and new headliner. All factory gauges work including the clock. This Mach 1 came from the factory without the shaker hood. A letter stating that the original owner had the dealership paint and install the shaker assembly is included. Also included is the original factory invoice, engine tag, and Marti report. To the owner鈥檚 knowledge, dating back to the total rebuild, there was no bodywork performed on the car when it was painted the original Wimbledon White. No rust, scratches, or bubbling are showing anywhere. Some of the upgrades the current owner added include: the Vintage Air heat and A/C; Pertronics electronic ignition; Magnum 500 wheels with B.F. Goodrich radials (5 years ago); new factory style radiator with and extra core added; complete brake servicing less than 2 years ago; rebuilt original Autolite Carburetor; custom car cover; and a Kenwood radio/cassette player w/ dual speakers. 1 being perfect) and has won multiple awards at various shows in the mid-Atlantic. There would be no hesitation to drive this car anywhere.

Despite Ford's promises to incorporate hybrid technology into the Mustang by 2020, as-of September 2019 we're officially giving up hope on a hybrid Mustang. Though this news is likely sad for anyone who was looking forward to a Mustang with e-torque, there's some good news. It would seem that the push for hybridization has been replaced with a desire to go electric instead. Below is information to counter many of the myths that have persisted about electric vehicles as well as everything we knew about the now-canceled hybrid Mustang.

Mustang enthusiasts have certainly been skeptical of any attempt to hybridize or electrify the Mustang, and they're hardly alone. There are a variety of misconceptions about electric vehicles that have certainly slowed their popularity. Ford is working to clear up some of these rumors in advance of their mostly-electric line-up.

With a large percentage of the United States spending at least part of the year under a snowy and icy layer, it makes sense for this to be a top concern. Honestly though, people worry entirely too much about this. Most cars can go well in the snow provided they're equipped with snow tires. Electric vehicles actually tend to go better in the snow because of the immediate torque that they're capable of. An electric AWD vehicle would be more than equipped to handle the snow, and could probably even embarrass some traditionally fueled SUVs in the process. Rember, unlike combustion engines which have to reach a certain RPM to really come into their torque curve, electric motors are capable of torque from the first touch of the gas pedal. This is actually a pretty logical myth, given that cold is one of the top battery-killers. Fortunately, it also is untrue.

While an electric vehicle is less efficient in the snow, that's true of combustion engines as well. The cold doesn't appear to be any worse for electric vehicles than it is for traditional ones. It is likely you won't get as much range as you get in sunnier weather, but for most people, it won't be enough to notice. Formula E is the equivalent of Formula One, but with electric vehicles. Formula E cars can hit 174 MPH, which is more than enough to get a speeding ticket, and hopefully much faster than you're traveling on the highway. McLaren鈥檚 P1, Ferrari鈥檚 LaFerrari, and Porsche鈥檚 918 Spyder all have more than 900 horsepower. These hybrids are capable of reaching these outrageous specs by utilizing hybrid technology's capacity for power in addition to fuel economy. Sometimes referred to as 鈥渉ypercars鈥? these supercars use hybrid technology to receive power from both a gas-powered engine and an electric motor simultaneously, rather than one and then the other as traditional hybrids have functioned. Towing capacity is primarily determined by torque and the weight of the towing vehicle.
