Muscular 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Bows To No Chevy

While the Ford Mustang is a legendary car, many consider something like this 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 to be one of the more desirable of the classic models. With plenty of sporty additions, it鈥檚 easy to see why. This particular car is in good condition overall, so it should draw plenty of admiration from Ford fans. This Mach 1 is packing the 351ci Cleveland V8 engine with a 4bbl carb - bolted up to it is an FMX automatic transmission, so you get flawless gear changes each time. A competition suspension from the factory includes heavy-duty springs for the front and rear, plus revalved shock absorbers. Power brakes and power steering make the car tame enough to handle on the street, yet it packs enough performance for track days. On top of that, the engine compartment is wonderfully clean, which is always a good sign and makes you more willing to pop the hood at shows.

Exterior presentation for this Ford Mustang Mach 1 is strong. The Grabber Green paint job is correct, as is the factory-optional two-tone Grabber Green and black hood. The hood pins are chromed and in presentable condition. All the OE graphics and badges are undamaged. The rear spoiler and rear window louvers are in good repair, with a nice unblemished finish on them. Even the chin spoiler up front isn鈥檛 damaged, something which all too often is ripped off or chewed up on these cars. On the inside is a back knitted vinyl upholstery, which is very unassuming yet comfortable. Factory-original gauges, controls, shifter, and steering wheel. The carpeting and headliner are in good condition, and belts for all 4 seats are included. Fake wood veneers for the door panels and dash show minor blemishes at the edges. Ford made the first generation of the Mustang Mach 1 from 1969 to 1973. Available only with a V8 engine and as a fastback, called the SportsRoof, it was distinct versus the rest of the Mustang lineup. The performance-oriented configuration of the car made it a legend among enthusiasts, which in turn has boosted the collectability. For the 1971 model year, the car鈥檚 dimensions grew, providing more interior space, following complaints the backseat area was too cramped.

According to reviews, it's an incredible car that has more than earned the M badge. This is the first M4 I've seen in person, and I have to say I was impressed. The proportions are good, and I like the looks of it. Something tells me I'll be seeing more of these in the future. Perhaps my favorite variation of the Porsche 911 is the track-focused GT3 RS. It's a stripped-down racecar for the road, and its factory-stock graphics make it easily identifiable. The red accents are a major contrast to the white bodywork, and make the car look like a Hot Wheels. Still, I like it, and the pedigree of this machine commands a certain amount of respect. How can you not love this? One of the wildest supercars of all time, the Ferrari Testarossa is not just a car, it's an icon. It symbolizes the 1980's just as much as the Delorean, or Michael Jackson. Just look at it, with its wide stance, enormous side vents and pop-up lights. Despite the radical looks, it's a painfully beautiful automobile, and this one was a highlight of the show.

This Camaro looks rather menacing, as well it should. The little badge on the side indicates that this car is packing a 572 cubic inch V8 crate motor. That's a terrifying amount of engine for such a car, but with those massive rear tires, I suspect that straight-line speed is the driver's goal. This is a pretty cool car, and while not quite a sleeper, the conservative looks betray the car's colossal potential. The import crowd usually brings out customized Z-cars and S2000s, but this is something new. It's a Lexus LS400, but modified like a typical tuner car. Lowered suspension brings the car down on top of its custom wheels and tires, and I suspect the customization continues under the hood. While not a car that usually gets this kind of treatment, I actually kind of like it. The lines of the car keep it from looking too cartoony or ridiculous, and the license plate is clever.
