1970 Ford Mustang

1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 â?" Modular V8 Restomod with AOD Overdrive Why This Car Is Special The 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 sits at a specific crossroads in American muscle car history. It was the final model year before Ford downsized the Mustang into the Maverick-based Mustang II, making the 1970 Mach 1 one of the last expressions of the first-generation pony car in its most aggressive, wide-body form. Ford had restyled the Mustang for 1969 with a longer hood, wider stance, and a more pronounced fastback roofline, and the 1970 model refined those lines with a cleaner front end, revised taillights, and a more cohesive overall appearance.
