1972 Mustang Mach-1 Once Sold At Lee Ford Now In Australia

Mark Thomas of Geelong, Victoria, Australia contacted us last night looking for some history. Do you remember this 1972 Mustang Mach-1 being at Lee Ford? Somehow, he must have known that Woodrow is a car lover. Mr Thomas sent this message to The Lee Daily Register鈥檚 facebook page along with these photos of a beautiful 1972 Ford Mustang Mach-1. If you remember this car being at Lee Ford back in the early 70鈥檚, leave a comment and we will be sure that Mr Thomas gets them. I bought this car two years ago, and I am trying to trace what I can of it鈥檚 history. I am reaching out to the good people of Pennington Gap, Virginia to see if anyone there knows any history about my 1972 Ford Mustang. It was purchased by Lee Ford on 19 April 1972 as stock, so it would most likely sat in their showroom before being sold. It is Ivy Glow green with a green interior, air conditioning, power steering, AM radio, side stripes and white wall tires. If anyone has any memories of this car I would love to hear them. It now lives in Geelong, Victoria, Australia and is well looked after.

From a pure numbers standpoint, the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E absolutely rocks. The GT makes about 459 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque, which is better than every other vehicle in the comparison here. A 0-60 mph time in the 鈥渕id three-second range鈥?is also quicker than every vehicle but the Model 3 Performance. So yes, this Mustang will be able to go fast in a straight line when you ask it to. The lineup offers a range of performance, too. If you don鈥檛 need the breakneck speed of the GT, cheaper, slower versions are available. A Mustang that gets to 60 mph in the mid six-second range can be had, as well as a Mustang in the mid five-second range. Ford also has a great array of options when it comes to total range on a full charge. The maximum-range car will have a 98.8 kWh battery pack targeting 300 miles of range using EPA testing.

A standard range Mach-E Select will have as little as 210 miles of range, while everything else is somewhere in between. The quick GT takes a big hit in the range department, with its estimates all the way down at 235 miles as a result of the extra power. Still, only the Model 3 is able to Challenger the Mach-E when it comes to the maximum range, boasting 22 miles more on a full charge. The I-Pace, E-Tron and Polestar 2 are all in the low-to-mid 200s when it comes to total range. This puts them on par with some of the lower-range Mach-Es, but the 300-mile range cars handily win this comparison and are still cheaper. Despite the Mustang鈥檚 fastback looks, it鈥檚 shockingly utilitarian. None of the competitors in this comparison can touch it in cargo space, especially after the large 4.8 cubic-foot frunk is taken into consideration. The E-Tron gets close in cargo space behind the seats, but with only 2.1 cubic-feet of space in the frunk (mostly taken up by the charger) it falls behind the Ford.

Passenger space is another win for Ford, but we鈥檒l have to revisit this upon hearing official Model Y numbers. There鈥檚 tons more backseat legroom in the Ford than the Model 3 and I-Pace, and it almost edges out the much larger E-Tron, too. Thank the Mach E鈥檚 considerably long wheelbase for this interior room. Ford appears to have got the packaging right, even with the slick body lines. With the panoramic roof option, it even has more rear headroom than all of its pseudo competition. One noticeable feature we鈥檒l point out is the black-painted roof. It simulates a lower roofline to the eye, but the roof itself isn鈥檛 as intrusive on interior space as other coupe-like crossovers have been. Here鈥檚 where the Mach-E gets really enticing. Comparing it to luxury EVs isn鈥檛 exactly a fair fight, but there鈥檚 nothing else with similar performance to compare to. The Hyundai and Kia EVs are all front-drive with much less horsepower, and the Leaf isn鈥檛 even on the same playing field.
