Nobody Wants This Early Mustang With 36K Miles, and It's Easy To See Why
Early Mustangs, often referred to as 1964 1/2 cars, are particularly desirable in the world of collectors, especially if they check certain big boxes. Obviously, the very first models that rolled off the assembly lines on March 9 or shortly after that are extremely valuable, but any K-code 1964 1/2 Mustang with the 289 HiPo engine typically sells for big dollars.
The first Mustang could be ordered with a 170ci six-cylinder unit standard. Customers who wanted more power than just 101 horsepower could upgrade to the standard V8 – a 260ci engine with 164 horsepower. This engine was dropped when Ford started the actual 1965 model year production, with a 289 two-barrel becoming standard.

The K-code HiPo version of the 289 was the highest you could go in terms of engine power in 1964. This engine produced 271 horsepower and sported a four-barrel carburetor.

A 1964 1/2 Mustang can, therefore, become a sought-after specimen, especially when checking the right boxes. This is not the case with the car in these photos, as nobody wants it, despite an advertised 36K-mile number on the clock.

eBay seller pou_8587 says this Mustang was born as a 1964 1/2 model, but that's mostly the only thing they disclosed about the car. The Mustang landed online with a bunch of photos and a few specifics, and considering the rough shape you can decipher from the images, I'm not surprised nobody wants it.

This Mustang still looks solid, but the photos suggest it's been sitting for a while in that place. This means the floors could struggle with typical rust problems, and given that the seller didn’t reveal such information, many potential buyers probably decided to look elsewhere.

The Mustang also sells without a hood and presumably other parts, despite the seller trying to suggest in one of the few photos shared online that some extra parts are inside the car. It's impossible to tell what's in there, so probably the only option is to inspect this Mustang in person.

The engine is no longer in the car (despite the listing mentioning an "original motor"), and this could be a sign that the Mustang has previously served as a donor for another project. This means other parts could also be missing, and with zero information shared by the owner, this is a risk few people want to accept.

The selling price also looks too ambitious for a car in this current condition and with so many uncertain specifics. The owner believes this Mustang is worth at least $2,900, and despite 27 people adding it to their watchlists, the auction is about to end without a single bid. The vehicle is parked in Sheridan, Wyoming, and will require transportation if someone eventually makes an offer.

This Is Another Forgotten Mustang, Marti Report Reveals Low Production Numbers
The 1968 Ford Mustang didn't introduce breaking styling updates compared to its predecessor, and probably the most striking changes were the removal of the horizontal grille bars and the updated side scoops.
Otherwise, the Mustang was the first model to get the 428 Cobra Jet and a series of safety features to comply with the new federal regulations, including shoulder belts and side marker lights.

Total production for the 1968 model year included 317K cars, with the hardtop accounting for nearly 250K units. The fastback was the runner-up with a little over 42K cars, followed by the convertible with only 25K Mustangs.

The Mustang in these photos was found in Texas, and based on the photos shared online by eBay seller apponaug_garage, it's been sitting for more than a few years. This is a project whose only option is total restoration, especially as the metal already struggles with the typical rust issues. There's rust around the glass and on the floors, but the seller says new pans are included in the sale.

You won't get a hood, but all grille parts are still available, so you should be able to get the car back together without spending big dollars. However, this Mustang will require the typical classic car package, including a repaint, despite the solid body. The paint is peeling, and the original primer can be seen on the body.

The Marti report reveals intriguing numbers.

While the Meadowlark Yellow paint is nothing special, with over 18K Mustangs rolling off the assembly lines wearing the same finish, the paint and trim code combination makes this specimen particularly rare. Only 350 cars used the same numbers, and considering some might no longer be around today, this Mustang can be a rare sight.

The car still has the original 289 two-barrel engine under the hood, and the seller says it turns freely. You should send your mechanic to inspect what happens in the engine bay, but considering this is a two-barrel unit, the most common engine on a Mustang, you should consider putting another engine in this car unless you want an all-original specimen.

The selling price seems just a bit ambitious, as the owner wants $7,000 for this Mustang. The listing ended up on the watchlists of 12 people, which seems to suggest that the interest in this car isn't as high as the seller hoped, but considering the car will go offline in 26 days, there's still a chance someone will eventually make an offer.

The best approach is to contact the seller and discuss all the details before an in-person inspection. If you want to see the car in person, you must get a ticket to Warwick, Rhode Island, where the Mustang is currently sitting.

WW2 Veteran's Abandoned House Has a Yard Full of Classic Cars and Airplanes
Most abandoned classic cars are rotting away in hundreds of junkyards across the US. However, some are still waiting for a second chance in barns. Others are still parked in backyards on abandoned properties, with no prospects of being rescued. The mansion you're about to see below is one of those places.
Documented by YouTube's "BigBankz," this property lies behind "tangled woods in the heart of the Carolinas." It's not exactly hidden from civilization, with a public road nearby, but the house and the yard have been reclaimed by nature, a sign that they haven't been attended to in years.

The story goes this place was owned by a WW2 veteran. Our host says he fought in the Pacific and was among the first US pilots to land in Japan. After the war, he ran a fire department and worked at an electrical plant, all while continuing to fly two small planes.

The man and his wife passed away in 2012, and their property has remained abandoned ever since. The house is still packed with their stuff, while the yard includes a dozen classic automobiles. The tiny planes are still on the property, albeit they had been decommissioned a very long time ago.

The family owned all sorts of vehicles. The footage begins with a Ford F-250 camper truck. It's a sixth-generation model (1973-1979) and, amazingly enough, still has the camper shell attached to the bed. The hauler is obviously weathered after decades of full exposure to the elements, but it's not yet ruined beyond restoration. The camper top makes it pretty rare.

The remaining vehicles are somewhat mundane, but three rigs stand out. The pilot owned a pair of third-generation Gran Torinos. Granted, these 1972-to-1976 cars aren't as desirable as their predecessors, but they're not throw-away classics either.

Much like the camper truck, the Gran Torinos are heavily weathered, covered in debris, and display significant rust. Unsurprisingly, their cabins are now populated by critters. Are they still salvageable? Well, only if someone's planning to make them a "labor of love" type of project.

The other classic that caught my attention is the Buick that pops up at the 10:45-minute mark. Parked farther away from the other vehicles, it appears to be a 1949 or 1950 Buick. It's unclear if it's a Roadmaster, a Special, or a Super, but the grille and the VentiPorts (the three round outlets on the fender) suggest it was produced in 1949-1950. The Buick is in far worse condition than the Gran Torinos, but it's among the rarest vehicles on the property.

The small planes had their wings, cockpit gear, and propellers removed. They were probably repurposed as yard art long before the owners passed away.

A large part of the video documents the house, which is still packed with personal belongings. Unfortunately, the place has been vandalized, so it's more of a sad sight than a time capsule. Hit the play button below to check it out and tell which classic you'd rescue.

Perfect Time Capsule: 1961 Plymouth Fury Has Original Everything, Forward Look Bling
If I had a penny for every so-called unrestored survivor that was repainted and had an engine swap, I'd have enough to buy a pristine 1970 Plymouth Cuda. But while we are forced to take this term with a grain of salt nowadays, true unrestored survivors do exist. This 1961 Plymouth Fury is one of them and is downright spectacular.
One quick look at this Mopar will leave you thinking that "it looks too good to be true." And I wouldn't blame you. This Fury rocks a showroom-new appearance. But it's not the result of a rotisserie restoration. This Plymouth has been pampered since it rolled off the showroom floor, and it's as original as they get.

The paint looks so good that I can barely stop myself from being skeptical. It's been a very long time since I saw another survivor with such spectacular paint. The chrome is just as stunning. And this Fury has a lot of chrome. It was Plymouth's range-topping model in 1961, so it comes with shiny bits on just about every body panel.

Condition aside, the color itself is quite interesting. While it may look like an average beige in certain lighting, it will turn into a light peach in direct sunlight. When parked in the shade, the hardtop adopts a creamy shade of grey.

The interior is even more spectacular thanks to the goldish brown color that dominates all surfaces. It's paired with white inserts on the door panels and tri-tone fabric on the seats. The almost square steering wheel (with transparent upper and lower sections) and the offset driver-seat back section also contribute to the exotic appearance. To round things off, everything is in tip-top shape, which is unreal for an unrestored vehicle that's over 60 years old.

The engine bay shows light weathering, but that's not surprising given the 56,000 miles (90,123 km) displayed on the clock. The 318-cubic-inch (5.2-liter) V8 engine is obviously original, as is the push-button three-speed automatic gearbox. The unit was rated at 230 or 260 horsepower back in the day.

Plymouth also offered a 361-cubic-inch (5.9-liter) V8, good for 305 horsepower, and a 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) engine with 330 horsepower on tap. While it might not be as potent, the 318 V8 is a solid option for highway cruising. It's reliable, too.

It's unclear how this 1961 Fury soldiered on for over six decades in such fantastic condition. But I'm tempted to believe it was a one-owner rig that spent most of its life in a heated garage until recently. And it's that much more spectacular since the 1961 Fury is regarded as quirky and not-so-desirable.

Plymouth sold a little over 60,000 units that year, but most were dumped into junkyards when the Forward Look craze went away. Only 16,141 were produced in this two-door hardtop body style, and only a few still exist in any condition. Our host claims this one is "among the finest in existence," and I can't argue with him. This Fury is the ultimate time capsule.

1961 was the final year for Forward Look Mopars, as well as the final year for the early full-size Fury. The nameplate was re-assigned to midsize duty in 1962. It returned to the full-size market in 1965. This stunning survivor is for sale for $59,000, which isn't a lot if you're into quirky Plymouths from the early 1960s.

1969 Dodge Charger R/T Has It All: Spring Color, 426 Hemi, 1-of-1 Status
What makes a classic Mopar muscle car perfect? Well, for starters, a 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi V8 engine is a must. It's powerful, rare, and highly desirable. I'd say everything else is just a matter of taste, but an attention-grabbing color combo and an extremely low production number are nice to have. This 1969 Dodge Charger has the full package (at least in my book).
This R/T will make a public appearance at Mecum's Harrisburg 2025 auction in July, where it will attempt to find a new home. In addition to being a fully-fledged R/T with the mighty 426 Hemi under the hood, this Mopar is impossible to ignore, thanks to its high-impact color combo.

Chrysler rolled out the first so-called high-impact colors for the 1969 model year. Four hues were introduced that year, including Bright Green, Go Mango, Butterscotch, and Hemi Orange. These names were used by Dodge. Plymouth featured the same colors as Rallye Green, Vitamin C, Bahama Yellow, and Tor Red.

While Go Mango and Hemi Orange were available as regular hues, Butterscotch and Bright Green were special-order shades. The latter was also a Spring Color, meaning it was only available for a couple of months during the spring. Its short life on the options list makes it the rarest of the ten high-impact paints offered through 1973. It's unclear exactly how many 1969 Chargers were ordered in Bright Green, but they're very rare.

Whoever ordered this Mopar new also went for a striking contrast. The first owner opted for the white vinyl top and matching stripe, as well as white seats, door panels, and headliner. It's a stunning combo if you're into high-contrast classics and also contributes to the vehicle's one-off "as-equipped" status.

I need to add that the car is a one-of-one in the Chrysler Registry, which includes only a small fraction of the production. This means it may not have been the only one produced exactly like this. However, it's the only one known to still exist.

Restored to what appears to be Concours-ready condition, the Charger still relies on the original, numbers-matching 426 Hemi V8. The powerplant found its way into less than 1% of the Chargers produced in 1969. Most records indicate 432 units. This hardtop features a three-speed automatic gearbox, which is a bit more common than the four-speed manual.

The ad doesn't provide a pricing estimate, but the rare color, the drivetrain, and the stunning condition could push this Charger R/T beyond the $200,000 mark. As of this writing, only two Hemi examples sold for more than that. A blue example changed hands for $231,000 in January 2025, while a black car fetched $275,000 in May 2021. The Bright Green Mopar goes under the hammer on July 26. Will it become the most expensive 1969 Charger ever auctioned?

No Hemi, No Silence: Rare 1963-Only Chrysler Pace Setter Flexes Loud Big-Block Muscle
The Chrysler 300 appeared in 1955 and was the most powerful car in Mother Mopar's lineup. From the following year onward, the Letter series appeared, with each new year receiving a new letter, starting from B and continuing in order until the 300H of 1962 when it introduced the non-letter series, the 300. For 1963, ChryCo skipped a letter, namely 'I,' and went straight for J, and it also put out a special edition of the 300 – the Pace Setter.
The Chrysler 300, just like the Dodge Charger, was a two-door muscle-bound machine when it first came out, despite what the 21st-century iterations would lead us to believe. In 1963, Mother Mopar was granted the right to supply the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a vehicle that would lead the pack during the 500-mile race at the end of May.

The following paragraph might be a bit confusing due to the nature of the nomenclature for some of the details. So, in 1963, Chrysler built a convertible 300 Indy 500. Chrysler built a limited number of 300s to commemorate this event, known as the Pace Setter model. Around 300 300 hardtops and 1,861 300 convertibles were assembled in this series (I warned you it would be confusing).

The Pace Setters were treated with a special Alabaster White interior, bucket seats, power steering, and power brakes. They also cost around $400 more than regular 300s but were powered by the same engines – either the two-barrel 'FirePower 305' 383 with 305 hp or the four-barrel version of the same motor, the 'FirePower 360,' churning out 360 hp. Both versions were powered by the same push-button automatic transmission, which prompted an affectionate nickname, the 'Typewriter Dash' for the dashboard.

Of the 1,861 convertibles made, one was deemed the perfect machine for going out for ice cream, weekend drives, and fun days with the family in general by a St. Louis, Missouri, resident. The man got the car from his father-in-law, and, to cite his daughter, the motor wakes up all the neighbors in the morning. Play the video below, filmed on location by Tom Gallaher, the YouTuber and classic car vlogger from The Story Behind The Car, and listen to the old big-block rumble.
Judging by the tone of the kid's voice, I'd say she enjoys the rides, even if the engine is on the loud side. The poweplant is not original to the car, but it is a 383 big-block from a 1965 New Yorker. The owner doesn't know if the 45,000 miles on the clock are original or if the clock was reset when the engine was swapped (his wife's father purchased the car with the newer motor in it).

The Chrysler 300 non-letter series stayed in production for just a decade, between 1962 and 1971, and sold some 270,000 units over the ten years. In 1963, the 300 Convertible (the non-pace car models) sold 1,535 units, some 300 (and 26) fewer than the Pace Setter vehicles. In contrast, the 300J saw a production of 400 automobiles.

1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440–6 Took 9 Months To Restore, Looks Better Than New
Introduced for the 1968 model year, the Plymouth Road Runner became a big hit. What made it popular? Well, it was affordable, packed solid performance in standard form, and looked flashy in the right color combo. Its association with the Warner Bros. cartoon character, for which Plymouth paid $50,000 (over $400,000 in 2025 dollars), also enhanced its appeal.
Nowadays, the Road Runner produced in the golden muscle car era (1968-1971) is a desirable classic. The market is loaded with restored examples and solid survivors, but many are still waiting to be rescued. This 1970-model-year hardtop in Limelight is one of the lucky ones. Used as a drag racer for most of its active life, the Road Runner was restored by Everett Rutledge and now roams the streets as a showroom-new Mopar.

Owned by Steve Breedlove, the Road Runner recently got some time in the spotlight on Lou Costabile's YouTube channel. Lou has been documenting classic rigs for years now, but this Plymouth is arguably one of the most spectacular. Much more so since it also relies on a rare drivetrain combo.

Although sales dropped dramatically compared to 1969 (over 80,000 units), the Road Runner still managed to find 36,861 homes in 1970. That's a lot of cars, but most of them were ordered with the base 383-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) V8 engine. Specifically, 34,894 customers felt happy with the standard rig, accounting for nearly 95% of the total production.

This leaves fewer than 2,000 units equipped with the optional engines. The mighty 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi, the rarest and most desirable V8 of the bunch, was selected by only 152 buyers. The remaining 1,815 units were equipped with the 440-cubic-inch (7.2-liter) Six-Barrel mill. This Road Runner is fitted with the latter.

While the overall production number is pretty low already, the hardtop roof and the four-speed manual take it even lower into three-digit territory. Specifically, this Mopar is one of only 697 examples produced in this body style and with this drivetrain combo.

Everett explains the car was mostly original when it arrived at the shop, but it still needed plenty of OEM parts due to the modifications it received for track use. It's now factory-correct down to all the nuts and bolts. I'd dare say it looks better than new, which pretty much makes it a Concours-ready gem.

The color combo is quite spectacular. The Limelight exterior is accurate and bound to turn heads. The interior, on the other hand, is more restrained. The black upholstery features silver inserts on the seats and door panels. Although I believe Limelight works better with white interiors, I wouldn't mind shifting gears in such a classy layout.

Oh, and the 37,316-mile reading of the odometer is authentic. According to Everett, much of the distance was recorded one quarter-mile at a time. With most drag racers usually relegated to rust-bucket status, the fact that this Road Runner parades itself in such fantastic condition is amazing, to say the least. The restoration took about nine months.

Unrestored 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Looks Fresh Out of the Box, Owners Barely Used It
Most of us mortals are in the habit of buying cars and using the hell out of them, no matter how exquisite they are. But there are those among us who like to own cars just for the sake of it, appreciating the act of possessing more than the act of enjoying.
That seems to be the case with the unknown number of people who have owned over the years this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette. Despite being 71 years old, the car has been driven for only 16,431 miles (26,443 km). That's an average of 231 miles (372 km) each year!

The fact that this 'Vette barely made acquittance with the roads in America is one of the reasons it looks like it just came out of a box. That's even more impressive when you think about the fact that the car is in its original condition, not having been restored or tampered with in any way.

Finding a first-gen Corvette in this condition is not impossible, but incredibly unlikely. Yet here it is, waiting to go under the Mecum hammer next month during the Florida Summer Special auction taking place in Kissimmee.

The car is one of those Corvettes equipped with a 235ci inline-six engine capable of developing 150 horsepower. Tied to a Powerglide automatic transmission, it comes in its original form and with the original fittings, beautifully preserved and still functional.

The vehicle's powerplant is so pristine it still packs the chrome covers for the valve and ignition. The cylinder heads are the correct ones, and the dual pot air cleaners are still in place. We can't know for sure, but it's likely the sound it makes is the exact one it made decades ago.

No modifications were made to the way the Corvette looks either, and it comes with a bodywork sporting a Polo White paint job, offset by a beige soft top. The car is propped on what seems to be the original wheels, wearing wide whitewall tires.

The visible interior is specced in red, with the side windows showing a storage bag. The car has windshield washers, but also a signal seeking AM radio and a heater.

The unknow seller of the Corvette is offering it complete with a jack assembly, handle, and lug wrench. A 4-inch binder of paperwork is also included in the sale in the hopes that the car's value will go up a bit.

It's unclear how much the seller hopes to fetch for the 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, but valuation expert Hagerty says the value of one of these babies, in concours condition, sits at around $157,000. Don't be surprised if this one manages to do better than that – we'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it does.

A Doctor Gave Up on This 1962 Corvette Decades Ago, Next Owner Won Trophy After Trophy
A 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, now at its fourth owner and previously owned by a doctor who properly cared for it, has become an award-winning specimen ready to move to a new garage for a fifth time.
The car changed its home three times in approximately 10 years after rolling off the assembly lines. The fourth owner bought it in 1976 from a doctor, which is when it was turned into a showstopper. It received the NCRS Top Flight and Bloomington Gold, being featured in several magazines.

The car is in impressive condition, and most importantly, it has never been restored fully. It received a repaint to the original and correct finish, but the engine has never been out of the car. eBay seller rarecycleparts says this is a "rare" 327ci 340-horsepower Vette fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission, but I don't think the production numbers set it apart.

Chevrolet produced 14,531 Corvettes in 1962, all fitted with a 327ci unit. It was the first year of the 327 engine on the Corvette, as General Motors upgraded from the previous 283. The 340-horsepower version was the top carbureted version and accounted for 4,412 cars.

The 4-speed manual transmission was the most commonly ordered gearbox, making its way to over 12,700 cars. The Powerglide was much rarer, being ordered by only 352 customers. While Chevrolet didn't share production numbers for engine and transmission configurations, it's safe to assume that a mix of the second most popular engine and the most commonly ordered transmission isn't rare.

The engine is stamped F120RE, which decodes to a 327ci unit with 340 horsepower and a 4-barrel carburetor with a manual transmission. This is a sign that the engine is original to the car, so if you're interested in keeping this Corvette as original as possible, the engine certainly helps. This is a great feature for collectors, and the numbers suggest the engine is indeed the factory-installed unit.

This Corvette starts, runs, and drives properly, and the odometer indicates 43K original miles. This means it never spent much time on the road, despite being owned by four people since leaving the factory.

Such a Corvette can't sell cheaply, especially given its condition. The owner knows this is a collectible, so the convertible is priced accordingly. You can park this car in your garage if you pay $79,000, and the price is firm, with the price seemingly firm. As I said on every occasion, an in-person or third-party inspection is highly recommended, especially because these cars are becoming rarer.

If you want to see it live, you can find this Corvette in Villa Park, Illinois. The listing will expire in 22 days, so you have enough time to check it thoroughly before making an offer.

Someone Bought a Camaro Z/28, Reverted a Big Engine Change, Drove 400 Miles, Now Selling
Few people remember this, but the Camaro Z/28 was born out of Chevrolet's desire to build a high-performance car for Trans Am racing. The company never spent big dollars on advertising, and the early brochures offered by dealers didn't even mention the Z/28.
Only 3% of the Camaros sold in 1968 were Z/28s, as the total production figures for this year mention 7,199 units.

Each specimen was fitted with a 302ci unit rated at 290 horsepower and paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Chevrolet installed heavy-duty suspension and brakes and 15-inch Rally wheels.

The Camaro Z/28 in these photos was born with the same engine under the hood, but a previous owner decided to alter its original glory and install a 327ci unit. Fortunately, someone eventually bought the Camaro alongside the original 302ci unit and decided to revert this unfortunate engine change, reinstalling the factory motor under the hood. However, they didn't drive the car much, as only 400 miles have been added since the new old engine was installed, and the Camaro is again on the market.

This Z/28 appears to be in good shape, and eBay seller Kurzmann's Auto Brokerage Service says many original parts have either been replaced or reconditioned to keep the car as close to the factory model as possible.

There's a detailed description of every key part of this Camaro on eBay, and I recommend that you check it out thoroughly before making an offer, but it's important to know that almost everything, except the clock on the tach, works correctly.

The numbers also match. The engine is stamped 18N411381 and V0208MO, which, when put together, suggest this is a numbers-matching 1968 Camaro Z/28 fitted with a 302ci V8 engine built on February 8, 1968.

It's not a spotless Camaro, but with the right touches, it can become a highly desirable collectible, especially because original Z/28s are becoming rarer. It all comes down to the price, and based on what's happening on eBay at the time of writing, buying this Camaro won't be easy.

A Z/28 in project car condition is worth approximately $30K, while a driver-quality specimen with only small changes similar to this model should sell for approximately $50K. The owner of this 1968 Z/28 posted the car for auction and also enabled a reserve, with bidders reaching $25K in only a few hours.

Netizens like this Camaro, and I doubt the battle will end here, but only 14 people added it to their watchlists so far. The bidding could get fiercer in the next 6 days, but the best approach is to check the car in person before making an offer. You can find it in Manchester, Maryland, and you should be able to hear the engine roar during your inspection.

1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Packs Stroked Surprise With More Power Than a Cobra Jet
Introduced in April 1964, the first-generation Ford Mustang remained in showrooms for nearly 10 years. It quickly developed into a fully-fledged muscle car, but it also became increasingly bigger and heavier. Launched in 1971, the final iteration was 7.9 inches (201 mm) longer, 5.9 inches (150 mm) wider, and a whopping 1,115 pounds (506 kg) heavier than the original Mustang.
The nameplate's popularity also dropped dramatically in the early 1970s. The significant facelift of the 1971 version didn't prevent sales from slumping by 26% compared to the previous year. However, Ford still managed to sell quite a few 'Stangs at 151,484 units. At first glance, the 1971 Mustang is far from rare, but certain options are quite scarce. This Mach 1, for instance, flaunts a rare color combo.

Offered by the Volo Museum, this 1971 Mustang rolled off the assembly line with a Grabber Green Metallic exterior and white bucket seats. And according to the Marti Report it comes with, it's one of only 311 examples produced with these paint and trim codes. The exterior color is rare on its own anyway, having been ordered on only 1.2% of all Mustangs built that year.

The Mach 1 is also a highly optioned example. The original owner checked quite a few boxes, including those for the body side tape stripe, the Traction-Lok differential, power front disc brakes, Ram Air, rear deck spoiler, and the AM/8-track stereo radio.

Drivetrain-wise, this Mustang isn't rare or particularly desirable. The Mach 1 was fitted with a 351-cubic-inch (5.8-liter) Cleveland V8. The four-barrel unit came with 285 horsepower and 370 pound-feet (502 Nm) of torque on tap. The engine was paired to the common three-speed automatic gearbox. Ford produced nearly 11,000 examples with this drivetrain combo.

Ford offered two more powerful options that year. The 351 Cleveland in the Boss 351 delivered 330 horsepower, while the 429-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Cobra Jet had 370 horsepower (the Super Cobra Jet provided 375 horsepower). However, this Mach 1 is more potent thanks to a bore-and-stroke job.

Displacing 408 cubic inches (6.7 liters), the upgraded unit features Molnar forged crank and rods, diamond forged pistons, Trick Flow aluminum heads, and a single plane aluminum intake with Holley Sniper fuel injection. The result is an output of 450 horsepower, which exceeds the factory oomph of any first-generation Mustang.

The engine bay looks amazingly clean, matching the rest of the car. Yes, this Mustang is a complete nut-and-bolt restoration. Unsurprisingly, it was featured in Mustang Monthly and Stang Magazine and sat in a special display at Carlisle Ford Nationals.

Although I favor factory-correct builds, I wouldn't mind taking the streets in this high-impact Mach 1. If you feel the same and have $83,998 to spare, this Mustang is for sale as we speak. Check it out in the video below.
