The second spotlight vehicle in our Classic Car & Truck Show Vehicle series articles, is a wonderful muscle car from the early 1970’s, a 1972 Ford Mach1 Mustang, with a 351 (Cobra Jet) cubic inch engine, and 4-Speed manual transmission, that is definitely highly collectible and sought after among muscle car aficionados.
Pay close attention to the interior photos, specifically those of the back-seat area to see how Ford beautifully developed a sort of “piano keyboard closure” system that neatly camouflages the back seats, and gives the impression to the unknowing onlooker that the Mach1 is only a two seat vehicle. Also check out the trap-door in the trunk, that allowed for greater usability for someone who needed to transport something very lengthy in their Mustang (golf clubs, lumber, etc.).
