When I was 17 I bought a used bright red 1973 Mach I 351C and it was my daily driver for the next 15 years. I had it all through college and drove it all across the country. It will probably be my all-time favorite car. I’m 6’6” tall and it fit me like a glove. I’ve never been able to fit in to a Mustang since then.
1973 was a horrible yearfor the Mustang. Low compression slug. I had one that I bought new and raced It couple of times. 16.3 was the best quarter mile time I ran. Stone.
I got one right before my 18 birthday and working on it is insanely easy. I love it I feel the emissions stuff in the engine kept the engine healthy for later years. Needless to say I deleted that stuff. But good stuff man I love mine.
The 70 had a better suspension you could take that car today and it will out ride and drive any Ford on the road they didn't stop worth a damn but haul ass yes sir buddy in a 70 Mach 1 who wants to stop for me the 69 still had that Ford falcon feel in the steering and suspension
I was 16 years old in 1973 and always wanted one of the Mach 1's of that year. I couldn't afford it, so I bought a used '65 GT Mustang. But my buddy just down the road had a beautiful Blue '73 Mach 1 with silver stripes. Fast forward to today, I am retired, and was fortunate enough to acquire a restored '73 Mach 1, yellow with black stripes and hood. I was also fortunate enough to take my buddy for a ride in it before he passed away last year. So many memories. My wife and I have enjoyed taking it to cruise ins and car shows and belong to a car club near us. Life is good. Btw I am also 6'6" and the seat is all the way back!
'69 Mach 1 (And the Shelbys of 67-70) is one of my favorite of all car ever made. It looks like its moving even when its standing still. There were several motors and packages available including the 428 Cobra Jet
In 1974 my mate purchased a 71 Mach 1 imported into the UK. Not particularly quick but size, noise and road presence..amazing. We had nothing like this on local roads at the time.👍
I can’t imagine trying to drive something that long and wide in London, not to mention the cost of fueling a ‘71 Mach 1 (even in the 70’s!), I don’t even like driving my Mazda MX-5 in London!
My love for the Mustang started when I was in the 4th grade back in 2003. My best friend who was my neighbor at the time, his dad bought a used 1999 Electric Green SVT Cobra. I remember how loud, and badass the car was and I just knew I had to have a Mustang when I was older. I'm now 29, and put in an order back in June for a 2022 Race Red Handling Pack Mach 1 with all the bells and whistles. Elite package, Recaro leather seats, red brake calipers... I went all out with the options since it will be my first custom order vehicle. The car is currently in production, and the blend date will be September 1st. I'm extremely hyped, and can't wait to take delivery. 😁
I graduated in 2002 and drove a 90 GT mustang. And The 99/04 stangs was the coolest mustang I ever seen. 15 years later I was ready to buy another mustang and chose a 2000 mustang gt. Cheap and fun to throw around the road. The way a mustang should be. These cars use to be $25k (tops) loaded with options. Now $50k for a new mustang gt and people celebrate gays lol. What a despicable time to raise children.
Alva.....so? Youve had your Race Red '22 Mach1 with HP for a year? How is it? I have a '23 Mach1 and it is absolutely intense above 4,500 rpm up to 7,450. omg.
@@OtisSpringerpilot Amazing vehicle, the best I have ever owned. It's surprisingly well-balanced all around. For the weight, the car handles incredibly well. Turning is precise and quite predictable. The engine response is great and has more than enough of horsepower to make it a reliable daily, and fun during spirited drives. I love the recaros, they are quite comfortable, and do an excellent job. The cup 2's are nice and grippy but tramline on uneven surfaces. They are very expensive too, which sucks. The only mods I have done to the car are window tint, and hood struts. I don't plan on doing anything else, the car is plenty loud and fun stock.
Back in the day, I had one of the de-tuned '72 Mach 1 fastbacks. A 351 Cleveland V2 with stock single exhaust. It would barely spin the tires. It would top out at 115 mph like it had a governor on it. But it sure looked cool.
Hi, in Australia and have a 70 Grabber Blue Mach1 for 12 years now and love it. No electric car will ever sound like a 351 Windsor that’s for shore! Lol
Thank you once again. I must say the information was quite good. The music in the background was great. It was bumping. That music would have sold that car too. I do remember those luxury models too. They drove that 197401978 generation on Charlie's Angels television series. They were underpowered. Thank you once again.
G'day from Australia, always wanted a 71 Mach 1, down here the closest we had was the xa,xb and xc hardtops, I owed a xb 351 hardtop, probably the nicest looking car I've owned, keep up the good work.
At 3:12 I had a 71 just like that, 351C, 4brl, AC, dual chrome exhaust tips, pewter body, red int, 4 speed, no ram air, no magnum 500 rims and no side stripe. When these cars were a year or 2 old you rarely seen spoilers on them.
The '69 Mach 1 is my favorite car ever. Too bad I'll probably never be able to have one thanks to those damn auctions sending muscle car prices to the stratosphere!
Seems like 140 HP doesn't seem like much horse power compared today. My Chevy Astro van is 260HP. If the speed governor was disable. It would do 140 mph very easy.
My mom & dad's first car they bought after they married was a brand new '72 Mach 1, so it's the first car I ever remember. Canary yellow, black window louvers, Dad said that it had every option available and that the only engine that could beat it was the Boss. He also said the option package cost more than the car did, LOL. They sold it in '79 when my little brother was born, mom couldn't fit all three of us kids in the backseat. Dad says he still kicks himself over selling it.
I remember the early mach 1 looked like a hearse driving away. I was on my bicycle a lot in those days, so it's an image I saw a lot. The visibility can't have been great,although dual mirrors helped. Now I'm one of few driving any sedan or coupe.
Man, this is great ! Gotta go with the '69. ha, i was 12 then and super into Hot Wheels cars and tracks, joining the club in '69. An exclusive car ? A chrome finished Mach One, sent in a pink foam envelope which is where it stayed unless i was playing with it. I had about 15 cars, two Super Chargers, banked turns and enough track where me and my Viet Nam war returnee BIL could have a car do a lap on its own. Good times. I'm like 15 and come home and everything was gone, given by my Mom to a kid across the street. Same thing with my Marvel comic books,,,,we won't go there ;) Thx for the memories,,,i think :)
I bought a '69 Mach I new, Candy Apple Red like the one in the video, 351W and auto trans.. Young and foolish, I ran it a few times at a local 1/4 mile strip, turned in the low 15's. Of course I'd like to have it now.😁
i fell in love with the 1969 fastback mustang when i got my first Hot Wheels set for Christmas when i was 5. i had an '88 GT with the 5.0 and 5 speed. i loved that car but had to sell it because of family needs
I had a red 71 Mach One with a 351c two barrel, FMX automatic and 2.75 rear end. Now this sounds like the last thing you would want for performance but I could easily smoke the tires from a stand still, reach over 120 MPH, and when driven conservatively could attain 20-21 MPG. Never took it to the track but bet it would do low to mid 15’s in this configuration. This particular edition was built in late 1970 so I think it retained some of the characteristics of the 351’s built in late 1970. Too bad the thing rusted out on me. I lived in the Chicago area at the time and between the road salt and the harsh winters it was just a matter of time before the rot took her toll. If she would have survived I always wanted to upgrade her with a 4 bbl, headers, electronic ignition and four wheel discs.
My first car was a used 69 Cobra Jet Mach1. I need to correct a stat you made. Magnum 500 wheels were never available on 69 Mach1, not sure if they were even available on 70 models. The Magnum 500 were available on 69 and 70 Boss Mustangs, both 302 and 429! The Mach1 started offering Magnum 500 on Mach1 in 71. My group of guys that owned Mach1s in 75 started adding Magnum 500 wheels on early Mach1s. We like to think we started the trend!!
Same goes for the front and rear spoilers, and rear window slats. They were initially offered as options on the '69 Boss 302, but now seem to appear on almost every restored 69-70 Mustang fastback out there. We generally prefer the look of the car without them.
1969 & 1970 Mach Ones came with 351W, 351C (4V), 390, 428 (S)CJ engines. Some 390s received the Cobra Jet heads due a shortage of the regular 390 heads - yes, there's a difference! There are only cosmetic differences between a 1969 & 1970 Mustang/Mach 1 which are also related close to the 1967/68 Mustangs.. The Shelby GT500 had 428 (S)CJ powerplants. No Shelby ever had a BOSS 302 or a BOSS 429 engine. Only BOSS 302 Mustangs received the Boss 302 CLEVELAND headed engines which were essential 289 Hi-Po shorts blocks with a 3.0" stroke at the crankshaft meaning that the STROKE and not the bore is the difference between a 289 & 302 which also means that you cannot bore a 289 out to a 302 with out hitting coolant. The Boss 429 Mustangs were built by Kar Kraft due to the Semi Hemi heads requiring modification to the 1969/70 bodies to accommodate the wider dimension of the BOSS 429 engine which had very little in common with either a regular 429 or 429 (S)CJ. By 1969, Carroll Shelby was out of the picture and the Shelby Mustangs were more luxury pony cars and the Mach 1s and the Boss Mustangs were the serious competitors with the Camaros, Firebirds, Challengers, Cudas, Javelins and AMXs. Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustangs also were not available with A/C and the only power option was power steering for Boss Mustangs. Most 1969/70 Shelbys had A/C; great for comfort but added weight and robbed power for the engine.
Boss Mustangs all had unique engines that were not available in other Mustangs. Yes, a Cougar Eliminator was offered with a Boss 302 engine, but that's it.
My brother had a green '70 Mach 1 351C 4 speed. I had a '71 yellow Mach 1 351 C 4 speed. Both were wonderful cars. Loved both body styles, but his was a little faster .But my hood at the front fit better. For some reason the 70's were always a bit off. But who cares. Miss him and them dearly.
just putting in 5:22 for your logo, tho I bet the contest is well past. Great channel, and you have a new subscriber. So I guess I win that way, as new videos to watch. My daughter loves the 1973 Mustang GT for Gone in 60 seconds, the original movie. Although I'm partial to the 1979 Pace Car with the v8 and manual. Cheers Deaf Gryphon
Back in 82 I had the pleasure to own one just like the yellow one shown here, mine was a light sparkling blue. It was a gas hog for a daily commute. It was a big, solid car to go on long interstate trips. I bought it used from the original owner. Back in 1980 I had the beautiful Celica Supra, sparkling silver 6 cylinders with all the bells and whistles. I sold the mustang cause it was a big car that need it a huge space to park it. Back then it was fast and with that AC in the marvelous Santa Monica beach it was a car a lot of people stop just to take a look at it. I don't know what's wrong with today's technology and engineers, they design cars so they can be the only ones to fix it, even to change a damn light bulb.
I remember a hot rod magazine article where they were debating the baddest engine of all time naturally they over rated the Chevy and under rated the mopar and Ford engines but what blue my mind was the retraction I think the next issue they admitted the Ford 351 Cleveland was pound for pound the baddest engine ever made and if I remember correctly they said the amazing part was it only got 2 years of development before the smog wars eliminated it this edition was long before anyone had ever heard the name bill Elliott I do think this was about the time bob Gliddin was kicking ass with a pinto
I fell in love with the Boss 351 in the autumn of 70 when I saw a silver one in the showroom of the Ford dealer in Wheaton Illinois. Many years later (90s)I ended up owning a 71 Boss and had to defend the body style to skeptical friends. I told them that it was "an acquired taste". The 71 Mustang was a large car styled to look even larger, presumably to capture sales from the would be intermediate musclecar buyers (especially GM types). Over the years I have grown sour on the 71 fastback style. Just today, I was at a local car show and saw a yellow 71 Mach 1. My gut reaction was "holy shit..that's way too big and long."
Magnum 500's were not offered on the 69 Mach I. They camw with chromed and painted steel wheels with a brushed stainless hub cap and a brushed stainless rim. Magnum 500's were on the Boss 302 and the Boss 429 in 69 and 70. Magnums became optional on Mach I Mustangs in 71.
Surprised there is no mention or picture of the cream of the crop '69 Mach 1 438 Cobra Jet. Other than the ID on the air cleaner under the hood, the only identification on the exterior are the chrome and enamel coiled Cobra badges on each side of the hood scoop. This was my dream car when I was a high school freshman in 1969. When I graduated in '72 my Dad gave me a very rare '65 Ford Falcon Sport Coup. (The one car I should have kept!) I got a well paying part-time job, enrolled full-time in art school and drove it for a year. Sold it to my younger brother (he promptly wrapped it around a telephone pole) and bought the '69 Mach 1 I always wanted. Loved it to death but rising gas prices prompted me to sell it after 3 years. The real downside to this baby was that it was an absolute cop magnet. While I only ever got one speeding ticket (four miles over the limit) I was constantly being pulled over because the boys in blue thought I stole it. Being 20 years old with long hair and a porn stache didn't help! But hey... it was the perfect image for the car at the time!
Ok, ya got me... it was always my understanding the 4.9 was a 300 straight 6 and thec302 Cid was the 5.0... like all the fender badges and emission stickers said.
Favorite year has to be my foster fathers 1972 Graber blue w/silver accents Mach I and had the 429 V8. I seen pictures of him with it and it was a nice car until his brother drove it onto the beach and left it there when high tide came in and within a year the poor car was rotted out. My foster father bought it brand new and he was pissed his brother did it
Hey Boca brothers, when you talk about older cars like that please please do not forget to refer to the engine size in cubic inches followed by the liters. Please. When you say 6.4 for a 1970 Mach 1, a lot of us have to stop the video and look up which engine that is. I was thinking was that the 390 or was it an option I wasn’t familiar with.
I have a 71 R code 351C 4V heads 4speed ( With air conditioning) . She needs a lot of love and my career ended after a neck injury. Sadly I'm considering finding a new home for her as it doesn't appear I'll be able to do everything needed to get her going. If you have one, cherish it . I have other projects that could potentially be completed with less time, effort, and most importantly money, but I love the sound of the 351C.
Brother had a 69 back in the early 90's for like a week till he got drunk one day and wrapped it around a tree sideways... Yeah he lived, Barely. Then drunk again wrapped a late 70's TA around another tree a year later... Lived....
Umm, there were no mach 1 engines offered in boss models. People can argue about '71's, but there's a significant difference between a boss 351 and a '71 351c-4v such as: b351's had 4 bolt mains while 351c-4v's may have had either 2 or 4 bolt mains. b351's had closed chamber heads while 351C-4v's may have had either closed or open chamber heads. b351's had higher compression forged pop-up pistons while 351c-4v's had lower compression cast flat top pistons. b351's had a solid lifter cam instead of the 351c-4v's hydraulic, so the b351 heads were machined for screw in studs and had adjustable rocker arms and push rod guide plates. b351's had an aluminum intake with a bigger carb, while 351C-4v's had cast iron intakes with a smaller carb. b351's had a dual point distributor, and a rev limiter while 351c-4v's had a single point distributor and no rev limiter. b351's had cast aluminum valve covers while 351c-4v's had stamped steel valve covers. b351's had higher flowing exhaust manifolds and a thicker harmonic balancer than 351c-4v's.
I sometimes miss my 73 Mach 1, with the 4V 351Windsor block. But at 9 mpg, I don't miss buying gas for it! I still hate the stupid emissions controls that utterly screwed-up the motor and loathe the 'Mustang II. 😅
I have a stock 65 Mustang 2+2, 289 2v, 3 spd, console.. The HIPO 289 was outstanding. I might swap for a Boss or 428. Otherwise, I will keep what I have.
There are lot's of high performance parts you could put on that 289 2bbl to make it exceptional. Aftermarket heads would make a huge improvement coupled with a 4bbl carb and headers.
I have to chuckle! Back in the 60’s and 70’s Ford and the other car companies went by cubic inch displacement not liters! So no one ever called the 302 a 5.0 or 4.9. It wasn’t until the advent of the fox body mustang that Ford used the displacement in liters. There is a reason Ford called the 302 a 5.0, it was because they had a 4.9 liter 6 cylinder engine. If you’re going to hype on that then you should also do the same to the chebbie 350 since it really only displaced 348 cubic inches!
I think mine was a 69 or 70. Had hood safety latches. 351 eng with 4 barrel and 4 speed on the floor. Great driver when it was not in for wheel alignment, 3 times in 6 months. I do not hit bumps of drive recklessly. Fortunately it was stolen at 6 months. Good riddance. Around 1985 a relative who raced them told me about a kit that strengthen the front and the wheels stayed straight. That was the last Ford I ever bought.
Great video. But Should've kept going through the 03/04 Mach 1. They're modern classics and immensely better than the 1st/2nd gen models in every way. Well...maybe not the 90s ford plastic...but no one is perfect😄

69 mach 1 was the best year to me.
The '69 Mach 1 is my favorite car ever. Too bad I'll probably never be able to have one thanks to those damn auctions sending muscle car prices to the stratosphere!
I got mine for 17k last year. It’s mainly about constant research and looking everywhere.
1969 & 1970 were the best looking plus performed well. I love how you stressed 4.9 liters... That always get the "5.0" crowd so uptight!! 😁
Something I never knew. I love that though, finding out something new about mustangs.

ha, i was 12 then and super into Hot Wheels cars and tracks, joining the club in '69.
An exclusive car ? A chrome finished Mach One, sent in a pink foam envelope which is where it stayed unless i was playing with it.

'69 351 was Windsor (like the 302, but 1/2 taller block) -' 70 was a Cleveland.
One hot car
4 of my personal favourite Fords from 1970s the Mustang Boss/Torino GT & Cobra and the Falcon XB GT.
'71 Mach 1 stuck with me my whole life so much so, that after 47 years on this planet, my first new car I ever bought was a '21 Mach 1.
I bought a '69 Mach I new, Candy Apple Red like the one in the video, 351W and auto trans.. Young and foolish, I ran it a few times at a local 1/4 mile strip, turned in the low 15's. Of course I'd like to have it now.😁
A true American Car. Love the models till 1973. I would swap a brand-new car for a '73 model Mach One any time
What about the Mustang 2?
Me and my worked over 68 Z/28, used to look for Mach 1 stangs every week end... fun times....
It was big enough to be comfortable and practical but still fast. Cool!
i fell in love with the 1969 fastback mustang when i got my first Hot Wheels set for Christmas when i was 5. i had an '88 GT with the 5.0 and 5 speed. i loved that car but had to sell it because of family needs
I had a red 71 Mach One with a 351c two barrel, FMX automatic and 2.75 rear end. Now this sounds like the last thing you would want for performance but I could easily smoke the tires from a stand still, reach over 120 MPH, and when driven conservatively could attain 20-21 MPG. Never took it to the track but bet it would do low to mid 15’s in this configuration. This particular edition was built in late 1970 so I think it retained some of the characteristics of the 351’s built in late 1970. Too bad the thing rusted out on me. I lived in the Chicago area at the time and between the road salt and the harsh winters it was just a matter of time before the rot took her toll. If she would have survived I always wanted to upgrade her with a 4 bbl, headers, electronic ignition and four wheel discs.
My first car was a used 69 Cobra Jet Mach1. I need to correct a stat you made. Magnum 500 wheels were never available on 69 Mach1, not sure if they were even available on 70 models. The Magnum 500 were available on 69 and 70 Boss Mustangs, both 302 and 429! The Mach1 started offering Magnum 500 on Mach1 in 71. My group of guys that owned Mach1s in 75 started adding Magnum 500 wheels on early Mach1s. We like to think we started the trend!!
Same goes for the front and rear spoilers, and rear window slats. They were initially offered as options on the '69 Boss 302, but now seem to appear on almost every restored 69-70 Mustang fastback out there. We generally prefer the look of the car without them.
My favorites were '69, and '73.
1969 & 1970 Mach Ones came with 351W, 351C (4V), 390, 428 (S)CJ engines. Some 390s received the Cobra Jet heads due a shortage of the regular 390 heads - yes, there's a difference! There are only cosmetic differences between a 1969 & 1970 Mustang/Mach 1 which are also related close to the 1967/68 Mustangs.. The Shelby GT500 had 428 (S)CJ powerplants. No Shelby ever had a BOSS 302 or a BOSS 429 engine. Only BOSS 302 Mustangs received the Boss 302 CLEVELAND headed engines which were essential 289 Hi-Po shorts blocks with a 3.0" stroke at the crankshaft meaning that the STROKE and not the bore is the difference between a 289 & 302 which also means that you cannot bore a 289 out to a 302 with out hitting coolant. The Boss 429 Mustangs were built by Kar Kraft due to the Semi Hemi heads requiring modification to the 1969/70 bodies to accommodate the wider dimension of the BOSS 429 engine which had very little in common with either a regular 429 or 429 (S)CJ. By 1969, Carroll Shelby was out of the picture and the Shelby Mustangs were more luxury pony cars and the Mach 1s and the Boss Mustangs were the serious competitors with the Camaros, Firebirds, Challengers, Cudas, Javelins and AMXs. Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustangs also were not available with A/C and the only power option was power steering for Boss Mustangs. Most 1969/70 Shelbys had A/C; great for comfort but added weight and robbed power for the engine.
Not true, you could get a cougar with a boss 302.
@ While what you state is true about the Mercury brand, what was being discussed was the brand Ford, model Mustang.
Still my all time favorite of any mustang!
What a dream car🎉
Boss Mustangs all had unique engines that were not available in other Mustangs. Yes, a Cougar Eliminator was offered with a Boss 302 engine, but that's it.
My brother had a green '70 Mach 1 351C 4 speed. I had a '71 yellow Mach 1 351 C 4 speed. Both were wonderful cars. Loved both body styles, but his was a little faster .But my hood at the front fit better. For some reason the 70's were always a bit off. But who cares. Miss him and them dearly.
Absolutely stunning
the boca brothers stickers are at 5:29
Great vid......... 👍👍
The wife and I found in a Junkyard roughly a month ago 1971 Mustang mach 1 351C C6 M code fastback car.
Syd Dale approves of the 3rd gen Ford Mach 1
just putting in 5:22 for your logo, tho I bet the contest is well past.
Great channel, and you have a new subscriber. So I guess I win that way, as new videos to watch. My daughter loves the 1973 Mustang GT for Gone in 60 seconds, the original movie.
Although I'm partial to the 1979 Pace Car with the v8 and manual.
Cheers

Back in 82 I had the pleasure to own one just like the yellow one shown here, mine was a light sparkling blue.
It was a gas hog for a daily commute.
It was a big, solid car to go on long interstate trips. I bought it used from the original owner.
Back in 1980 I had the beautiful Celica Supra, sparkling silver 6 cylinders with all the bells and whistles.
I sold the mustang cause it was a big car that need it a huge space to park it.
Back then it was fast and with that AC in the marvelous Santa Monica beach it was a car a lot of people stop just to take a look at it. I don't know what's wrong with today's technology and engineers, they design cars so they can be the only ones to fix it, even to change a damn light bulb.
5:27 head-lights on '73 Mach 1. Boca Bros, logo.
I remember a hot rod magazine article where they were debating the baddest engine of all time naturally they over rated the Chevy and under rated the mopar and Ford engines but what blue my mind was the retraction I think the next issue they admitted the Ford 351 Cleveland was pound for pound the baddest engine ever made and if I remember correctly they said the amazing part was it only got 2 years of development before the smog wars eliminated it this edition was long before anyone had ever heard the name bill Elliott I do think this was about the time bob Gliddin was kicking ass with a pinto
@6:08 I wanted that car for my first car 75-78 V8 as a teen of the late 70s
Of all American muscle cars this will for ever be my number 1 muscle car. (boca brothers logo at 5:25 )
I fell in love with the Boss 351 in the autumn of 70 when I saw a silver one in the showroom of the Ford dealer in Wheaton Illinois. Many years later (90s)I ended up owning a 71 Boss and had to defend the body style to skeptical friends. I told them that it was "an acquired taste". The 71 Mustang was a large car styled to look even larger, presumably to capture sales from the would be intermediate musclecar buyers (especially GM types). Over the years I have grown sour on the 71 fastback style. Just today, I was at a local car show and saw a yellow 71 Mach 1. My gut reaction was "holy shit..that's way too big and long."
I have a hardtop and am thinking of converting the rear section to fastback. Do you think the hardtop looks a little less bulky or oversized?
No mention of the Cleveland.....well done
The mustang must be one of the few models that in 1 generation has 3 generations (1964 - 1969 - 1971 look each one like a different car).
I’ve always wanted this car in blue.
That red Mustang at 0:58 was not a Mach1, nor a 428 engine.
No reflective side stripe.
79 -93 notchback lx 5.0 my favorite years
My first car was a 69 mach 1 428 scj
Magnum 500's were not offered on the 69 Mach I. They camw with chromed and painted steel wheels with a brushed stainless hub cap and a brushed stainless rim. Magnum 500's were on the Boss 302 and the Boss 429 in 69 and 70. Magnums became optional on Mach I Mustangs in 71.
That’s my car at 3:40. I was getting new tires next day, so I decided to finish off the old ones.
Odd looking ?
This was a supersonic jet fighter for the road.
I was there in 1971 and remember the impact it had on people.
It’s the Fox-body hatchbacks that are odd looking, I think.
One of the best looking cars ever designed.
Yes indeed. The SR-71 Blackbird comes to the mind's eye when viewing a '71.
Surprised there is no mention or picture of the cream of the crop '69 Mach 1 438 Cobra Jet. Other than the ID on the air cleaner under the hood, the only identification on the exterior are the chrome and enamel coiled Cobra badges on each side of the hood scoop. This was my dream car when I was a high school freshman in 1969. When I graduated in '72 my Dad gave me a very rare '65 Ford Falcon Sport Coup. (The one car I should have kept!) I got a well paying part-time job, enrolled full-time in art school and drove it for a year. Sold it to my younger brother (he promptly wrapped it around a telephone pole) and bought the '69 Mach 1 I always wanted. Loved it to death but rising gas prices prompted me to sell it after 3 years. The real downside to this baby was that it was an absolute cop magnet. While I only ever got one speeding ticket (four miles over the limit) I was constantly being pulled over because the boys in blue thought I stole it. Being 20 years old with long hair and a porn stache didn't help! But hey... it was the perfect image for the car at the time!
Ok, ya got me... it was always my understanding the 4.9 was a 300 straight 6 and thec302 Cid was the 5.0... like all the fender badges and emission stickers said.
Favorite year has to be my foster fathers 1972 Graber blue w/silver accents Mach I and had the 429 V8. I seen pictures of him with it and it was a nice car until his brother drove it onto the beach and left it there when high tide came in and within a year the poor car was rotted out. My foster father bought it brand new and he was pissed his brother did it
Hey Boca brothers, when you talk about older cars like that please please do not forget to refer to the engine size in cubic inches followed by the liters. Please. When you say 6.4 for a 1970 Mach 1, a lot of us have to stop the video and look up which engine that is. I was thinking was that the 390 or was it an option I wasn’t familiar with.
Right on! Thank you.
I have a 71 R code 351C 4V heads 4speed ( With air conditioning) . She needs a lot of love and my career ended after a neck injury. Sadly I'm considering finding a new home for her as it doesn't appear I'll be able to do everything needed to get her going. If you have one, cherish it . I have other projects that could potentially be completed with less time, effort, and most importantly money, but I love the sound of the 351C.
Interesting. I owned a blue Ford Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet 1971 with a 4 shift. I really miss that car
Brother had a 69 back in the early 90's for like a week till he got drunk one day and wrapped it around a tree sideways... Yeah he lived, Barely. Then drunk again wrapped a late 70's TA around another tree a year later... Lived....
Cool car
Umm, there were no mach 1 engines offered in boss models.
People can argue about '71's, but there's a significant difference between a boss 351 and a '71 351c-4v such as:
b351's had 4 bolt mains while 351c-4v's may have had either 2 or 4 bolt mains.
b351's had closed chamber heads while 351C-4v's may have had either closed or open chamber heads.
b351's had higher compression forged pop-up pistons while 351c-4v's had lower compression cast flat top pistons.
b351's had a solid lifter cam instead of the 351c-4v's hydraulic, so the b351 heads were machined for screw in studs and had adjustable rocker arms and push rod guide plates.
b351's had an aluminum intake with a bigger carb, while 351C-4v's had cast iron intakes with a smaller carb.
b351's had a dual point distributor, and a rev limiter while 351c-4v's had a single point distributor and no rev limiter.
b351's had cast aluminum valve covers while 351c-4v's had stamped steel valve covers.
b351's had higher flowing exhaust manifolds and a thicker harmonic balancer than 351c-4v's.
I had to leave a like, not only because it was a good video but because the like counter was set at 666 when I viewed it. Can't allow that....
Cool history
Love the video n love mustangs..ps can i have a shirt please...i saw the in the headlght....that was cute..
Was that Tom Selleck?
08:12
I sometimes miss my 73 Mach 1, with the 4V 351Windsor block. But at 9 mpg, I don't miss buying gas for it! I still hate the stupid emissions controls that utterly screwed-up the motor and loathe the 'Mustang II. 😅
Love the 69 to 73...
I LIKED THEM ALL BOCAS TANGS ARE TANGS BUT NOT 2022,,((( ONLY THE 60 --80S ,, 76 COBRAS BLUE AND WHITE T-TOPS.... GREAT VIDEOS..)))
the 1972 mustang was the prettiest. its my dream car.
I had one just like it. 🐎
I found your logo on the yellow mustang picture
5:22 is the logo
I owned a 76 Cobra and a 77 cobra
5:22 the logo appe
THAT'S what a real Mustang looks like - not those they stamp out today.
Car and Driver magazine always called the 302ci V8 the 4.9 liter V8(not the 5.0 liter V8). The current Coyote V8 is a true 5.0 liter V8!
I have a stock 65 Mustang 2+2, 289 2v, 3 spd, console.. The HIPO 289 was outstanding. I might swap for a Boss or 428. Otherwise, I will keep what I have.
There are lot's of high performance parts you could put on that 289 2bbl to make it exceptional. Aftermarket heads would make a huge improvement coupled with a 4bbl carb and headers.
I have to chuckle! Back in the 60’s and 70’s Ford and the other car companies went by cubic inch displacement not liters! So no one ever called the 302 a 5.0 or 4.9. It wasn’t until the advent of the fox body mustang that Ford used the displacement in liters. There is a reason Ford called the 302 a 5.0, it was because they had a 4.9 liter 6 cylinder engine. If you’re going to hype on that then you should also do the same to the chebbie 350 since it really only displaced 348 cubic inches!
I think mine was a 69 or 70. Had hood safety latches. 351 eng with 4 barrel and 4 speed on the floor. Great driver when it was not in for wheel alignment, 3 times in 6 months. I do not hit bumps of drive recklessly. Fortunately it was stolen at 6 months. Good riddance. Around 1985 a relative who raced them told me about a kit that strengthen the front and the wheels stayed straight. That was the last Ford I ever bought.
8:13 ist that Tom Selleck without his mustache?
I think you're right. Didn't even notice when I watched it the first time.
Why is he talking in Liters?
I have a deep blue impact 2014 GT manual premium. I like it better than any Mach 1.
Great video. But Should've kept going through the 03/04 Mach 1. They're modern classics and immensely better than the 1st/2nd gen models in every way. Well...maybe not the 90s ford plastic...but no one is perfect😄
