MUSTANG MACH 1 SHAKES BACK TO STREET

Today, Ford uses some of the same techniques it did in the 1960s to keep Mustang fresh by offering buyers a wide range of personalization options to meet their needs and pique their enthusiasm for driving. Mustang is offered as a V-6, a Mustang GT with a MOD 4.6-liter, two-valve V-8 and the top-of-the-line Mustang Cobra SVT with a supercharged MOD 4.6-liter DOHC four-valve V-8, all available in coupe and convertible body styles. Special limited-edition models, such as the Bullitt GT in 2001 and the new Mach 1 are designed to offer collectors and enthusiasts a modern Mustang with an infusion of muscle-car memories. They keep the flame of pony car passion lit today and promise a bright future.

?A powerful nameplate like Mustang doesn?t come around too often in our business,? says O?Connor. ?Our lineup of Mustangs and special edition models are designed to turn today?s customers into tomorrow?s enthusiasts. Mach 1 is a glance in the mirror of Mustang?s storied past, but it?s steering straight into the future of Mustang and promises that there will always be a Mustang in the Ford lineup.?

2003 Mustang Mach 1

The new Mustang Mach 1 was born out of the passion of Mustang enthusiasts across America. Team Mustang, fresh on the success of the 2001 Mustang Bullitt GT, created a ?one-off? project car in the summer of 2001 and took the car to various Mustang Club events across the country. The Mach 1 was shown, not as a concept car, but as an experiment to test the market of Mustang fans for more special editions.
