SPIED: Ford Mach E

SPIED: Ford Mach E

Here鈥檚 our very first look at Ford鈥檚 upcoming Mustang-inspired electric SUV, expected to debut next year. The prototype seen in these spyshots wears what appears to be the car鈥檚 production body, albeit wrapped in copious amounts of camouflage and disguise. Look past it and you鈥檒l find a fairly sporty-looking design - even though engineers have deliberately tried to obfuscate the actual shape by squaring off the rear end, the actual low-slung fastback roofline is still visible. And while only the two front doors are visible here, the shape of the doors themselves indicate that there are two more portals at the rear, making for a far more practical proposition. Ford has previously teased the car鈥檚 stylish rear end, which sports a slim rear windscreen, a large tailgate spoiler and the Mustang鈥榮 iconic triple vertical tail lights. Details are slim at the moment, but Ford is touting a range of 480 km. As for the name, the company previously floated the Mach 1 moniker - in reference to a performance variant of the original Mustang - but such was the furore from enthusiasts that it quickly backtracked on its decision. It recently trademarked both 鈥淢ach E鈥?and 鈥淢ach-E鈥? making them likely candidates for this EV.

It is powered by 428ci Cobra Jet engine backed by 4-speed manual transmission and its original 3.25 posi-traction rear end. It also features factory air conditioning, power front disc brakes, and an added radio with kick panel speakers. Completely correct and documented R-code 428CJ; factory options included the C-6 automatic transmission, air conditioning, in-dash tachometer and rally clock. This is one of my favorite cars!

We even have the marti report, showing the original options and production numbers. There are front and rear spoilers, rear louvers and factory optional hood pins. This Mustang comes complete with the GT handling package, power front disc brakes and a 3.25 rear end.

Mustangs don't get much better than this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 fastback. Aside from maybe a Boss or perhaps a Shelby, a Mach 1 is at the top of every collector's wish list. This one packs an M-code 351 Cleveland motor, a manual gearbox, a very unusual color combination, and a ton of documentation. It's already won a lot of awards, so maybe it's time to put this A-list pony in your garage. Repainted recently, this very unusual code 2 "New Lime" Mach 1 fastback looks like a million bucks. Well, maybe not a million, but these have been inching up in value pretty much every year, indicating that there are more than a few collectors out there who appreciate their good looks and brilliant performance. The finish is rendered in modern urethane, which gives the stunning light green hue a depth that the original finish just couldn't match, and the satin black stripes with '351' callouts on the hood seem to hover above the surface.

The panel work is quite good, and since it has already been driven you know you won't hurt it, which is a good thing since you'll probably want to drive it every chance you get. Inside you'll find-what else? Ford's Comfort-Weave black bucket seats, and they fit the Mach 1 like a tailored suit. All the soft parts, including the seats, door panels, dash pad, and headliner have been restored, and new carpets finish the floors. The instruments show quite well and the woodgrained inserts on the dash, door panels, and center console are in good condition, giving this sporty Mustang a contrasting luxury feel inside. The original AM radio has been replaced by a modern AM/FM/cassette unit that still looks quite authentic, a nice touch that suggests that the restorers believed in originality. The gauges all work although the rim-blow steering wheel does not, which is common on these cars.
