The demand for the Mach 1 was so impressive that it rendered the Mustang GT obsolete. With sales plummeting to 5,396 units in the first year of the Mach 1, the American carmaker had no choice but to discontinue the GT. However, the Mach 1 offered a unique package that was hard to come by.
Converted into a race car by a San Diego dealership, it received extensive upgrades including a fiberglass body kit, roll cage, transmission cooler, and more, making it track-ready. Complete with Mickey Thompson valve covers and a collection of racing trophies, it became a sought-after collector’s item.
Despite its once-gorgeous appearance, the Mach 1 now sits neglected, likely exposed to the elements for an extended period. eBay photos reveal its deteriorating condition, necessitating a thorough cleaning and inspection. While engine details are scarce, potential buyers are encouraged to contact the seller for additional information.
Although bidding starts at $10,000, the actual selling price remains uncertain as the owner has set a reserve. Interested parties can visually inspect the car in Lakehead, California, though transportation via trailer is advised due to its condition.
