# 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 – Factory 4-Speed – 429 Big Block – Calypso Coral
**$38,000 OBO – Oak Ridge, New Jersey**
After 25 years in our family, I've finally made the difficult decision to sell my 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 restoration project.
This is a **genuine, Marti-documented, factory four-speed Mach 1 SportsRoof**, originally finished in the stunning Calypso Coral with a black interior. Not a clone, tribute car, or automatic conversion.
I've owned this Mustang for a quarter of a century, collecting parts and working toward my vision of a beautiful, old-school big-block four-speed Mach 1.
Unfortunately, between work, family and other projects, I've come to realize that I'm unlikely to find the time to finish it. Rather than have it sit for another few years, I'd like to see it go to someone who appreciates these cars and can finish what I started.
**This is not a rusty barn find or a stripped-out shell. The major metalwork has been completed, the engine compartment is painted, and the car comes with a desirable 429 big-block drivetrain and a substantial collection of restoration parts.**
### BODY & RESTORATION
- Genuine 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 SportsRoof
- Factory four-speed manual car (documented)
- Original Calypso Coral exterior, paint code 1
- Black interior
- All major metalwork completed
- Rust-free body
- Currently in gray primer
- Engine compartment already painted
- Clean title in hand
- Ready for final bodywork, paint and reassembly
A considerable amount of the difficult restoration work has already been completed.
### ENGINE – 429 THUNDER JET BIG BLOCK
The car comes with a Ford 429 Thunder Jet V8.
The engine ran beautifully and sounded fantastic before being removed for the restoration. It is currently out of the car.
My intention was to build a proper old-school big-block, four-speed street machine with the unmistakable attitude of Ford's classic muscle-car era.
### TRANSMISSION – PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT TOPLOADER
One of the standout components included in the sale is the transmission.
**Genuine Ford RUG-AZ close-ratio Toploader four-speed**, the desirable factory transmission application associated with 1970 Boss 429 and 428 Cobra Jet Mustangs.
- Completely professionally rebuilt by Dan Williams Toploaders
- All-new internal components
- New original-style Hurst four-speed shifter
- 429 bellhousing
- Boss 429 engine mounts
- Two sets of long-tube headers
This is a serious big-block drivetrain package, not an unknown used engine and gearbox pulled from a junkyard.
The rebuilt Toploader and Hurst shifter alone would cost a substantial amount to replace today.
### FACTORY OPTIONS & DOCUMENTATION
The car comes with its Marti Report documenting its original factory configuration.
Originally equipped with:
- 351 Cleveland 2V V8 (H-code)
- Close-ratio four-speed manual transmission
- Calypso Coral exterior
- Black knitted-vinyl interior
- Shaker hood
- Hood stripe
- Rear deck spoiler
- Sport Slats rear-window louvers
- 3.25:1 rear axle
- Sport Deck rear seat
- AM radio
Built at Ford's Metuchen, New Jersey assembly plant in June 1970.
The car was a factory four-speed from day one, an important distinction for anyone looking for an authentic manual-transmission Mach 1.
### EXTENSIVE PARTS PACKAGE INCLUDED
Over the years I've accumulated a substantial collection of components for the restoration, including:
- Most of the interior components
- 429 Thunder Jet engine
- Professionally rebuilt RUG-AZ Toploader
- New Hurst shifter
- Bellhousing
- Boss 429 engine mounts
- Two sets of long-tube headers
- Numerous additional restoration components
The car and all parts included in the sale can be inspected by serious buyers.
### 25 YEARS IN THE FAMILY
This Mustang has been part of our family for 25 years.
I always envisioned bringing it back to its original Calypso Coral glory, with a big-block under the hood, a four-speed between the seats and the aggressive stance these cars deserve.
I've enjoyed the journey, but I've decided it's time for someone else to finish it.
There's something special about a 1969–1970 Mustang fastback, particularly a genuine Mach 1 in one of Ford's most distinctive factory colors.
For the right enthusiast, this is an opportunity to take an authentic factory four-speed Mach 1 with much of the groundwork completed and finish it exactly the way they want.
### $38,000 OR BEST REASONABLE OFFER
Located in Oak Ridge, New Jersey.
Clean title in hand. Marti Report available.
**Please note:** This is an unfinished restoration project. The engine and transmission are currently removed, and the vehicle is not running or driving in its present condition. Final bodywork, paint, mechanical installation, assembly and completion are required.
Serious buyers are welcome to inspect the vehicle and accompanying parts.
I'm not interested in trades or parting it out.
**After 25 years, I'd love to see this Mach 1 go to someone who will finally put it back on the road where it belongs.**
### ADDITIONAL RESTORATION DETAILS
A few important details about this project:
- **Detroit Speed rear mini-tubs already installed**, providing additional clearance for wider rear wheels and tires.
- **Genuine factory close-ratio four-speed Mach 1**, confirmed by the Marti Report. Not an automatic conversion.
- **One of 791 1970 Mach 1 SportsRoofs produced with this engine/transmission code combination**, according to the Marti Report.
- **Ford RUG-AZ close-ratio Toploader**, completely rebuilt by Dan Williams Toploaders with all-new internal components.
- **New Hurst four-speed shifter** included.
- Original factory options include the Shaker hood scoop, Sport Slats, rear deck spoiler and Calypso Coral paint.
- Major metalwork completed, engine compartment painted and body currently in primer.
This is a genuine, well-optioned Mach 1 with significant restoration work and desirable drivetrain components already included.
