About this car

This 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 pairs the 351 Cleveland V8 with a four-speed manual gearbox, a combination favoured by enthusiasts for its high-revving character. It is finished in Calypso Coral over a black interior, with Magnum 500 wheels and a shaker bonnet.

The car was restored in the USA and has been imported to the UK, with the deal completed in May 2026. Specification includes power steering, a fold-down rear seat and power-assisted front disc brakes by CSRP.

Work carried out since arrival is extensive: new front discs, brake booster and master cylinder, leaf springs and shackles, fuel pump, tyres, alternator and voltage regulator, plus new engine mounts, rocker cover gaskets and strut rod bushings. The differential has been resealed, the engine tuned, the wheels aligned and a rear light conversion fitted. No mileage is stated. It can be viewed near Colchester.
