The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package[1] of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced in August 1968 for the 1969 model year. It was available until 1978, returned briefly in 2003, 2004, and most recently 2021.
As part of a Ford heritage program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a high-performance version of the New Edge platform. Visual connections to the 1969 model were integrated into the design to pay homage to the original. This generation of the Mach 1 was discontinued after the 2004 model year, with the introduction of the fifth generation Mustang.
Ford first used the name "Mach 1" in its 1969 display of a concept called the "Levacar Mach I" at the Ford Rotunda. This concept vehicle used a cushion of air as propulsion on a circular dais.
For 1971, Ford reduced the content of the Mach 1. The standard features of the model were as follows:
SportsRoof body style with unique "05" VIN code & "63R" body code on the door tag
Color-keyed urethane front "spoiler" bumper & front fender and hood trim
Honeycomb grille in black w/sportlamps
Argent or black "Mach 1 - MUSTANG" decals on fenders
Argent or black stripe and "Mach 1" decal on the trunk lid
Argent or black lower body accent paint
Bright trim at lower body paint line
E70-14 white sidewall tires w/ hub caps & trim rings on 7" wide steel wheels
Color-keyed dual racing mirror w/driver side remote
Honeycomb taillight panel applique with bright trim
Unique pop open gas cap
F-code 302-2V engine w/3 speed manual transmission
Competition Suspension (HD springs & shocks), variable quick-ratio steering box if ordered with P/S
Base Mustang vinyl interior
Flat hood - the NACA scooped hood was a no-cost OPTION for the base engine
In 1971, the Mach 1 was available with three 351 Cleveland engines; the H-code 2-V, the M-code 4-V, and beginning in May 1971, the Q-code 351CJ (Cobra Jet or GT engine). M & Q code engines were produced concurrently up until the end of 71 model year production. There were also two 429ci options, the C-code CJ (Cobra Jet) & J-code CJ-R (Cobra Jet - Ram Air). Buying the optional "Drag Pak" 3.91 (V) or 4.11 (Y) rear gears turned either 429 into a "Super Cobra Jet", with a solid lifter cam, Holley 780cfm carb and special rotating assembly with forged pistons.
One of the most recognizable features of the '71-'73 Mach 1s is the hood design with dual scoops. The hood was a no-cost option on the 302 cars and standard on all others. The basic hood had non-functional NACA ducts, but when ordered with the Ram Air option, it became functional. The Ram Air option included a vacuum-controlled door inside each scoop, and a fiberglass under-hood 'plenum' that directed cool, outside air through a modified, rubber-ringed air filter housing and into the carburetor. The ram-air option also included a pair of 1970 Mach1-style chrome twist hood locks and a two-tone hood paint treatment in either 'matte black' or 'argent' (matte silver), which coordinated with the decals and striping. The option also received either a "351 RAM AIR" or "429 RAM AIR" decal on each side of the hood, depending upon the engine ordered. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Your videos inspired me to start building again about 2 1/2 years ago after not touching a kit for 20 years. You demonstrate that it’s possible to build a great looking shelf model without spending days, weeks, or even months. I’ve been down that road and your path is more fun.
Don't cut yourself short. You do fabulous work and are an inspiration to folks like me who haven't been in the hobby for some three decades, and need to learn about new things on the market. Thank you for ALL you do! I, for one, enjoy watching your builds.
Love Mustangs so I hope they are able to do another version of this kit as with the right bonnet and radiator grill, that kit is positively screaming Eleanor. Brilliant job
Pledge is like hot sauce....You put that sh*t on everything, ....I like that look too
Watching this video again. Love this model.A friend had one just like it but his had a 302. I'm in the hospital with Covid enjoy your show. It's great for me watching you build a model. Thanks for being a friend.
Get well soon!
"4V" stands for 4bbl carb. It's a 2 valve engine.
Great build! I know you said you build for fun, and that youre not the end all be all, but to be honest I have used some of your techniques to enhance my model building. Your models are awesome and I enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work!
Glad I could help!
I greatly appreciate your videos and builds. Thx again!!
Thank you for doing this one, picked this today. Fantastic job, love it, and kudos!!💣🏆
You know Chris, I appreciate the fact you're left-handed. Gives a different prospective!
I'm always learning a new way to do something with a model. Just little things you put
in each video. I always look forward to each video, no matter what the build is? It's like
watching an episode on T.V. on some nature channel, where you learn a technique you
might've over-looked before! I always get ideas from you for my builds... "And that's cool."
I appreciate that!
Late 1970 a "guy" at work bought a 1971 MACH 1 GT350 in Ford Metallic Green. Five of us would cram in and drive a few miles to the local Greasy Spoon. We'd always get the window booth and stare at the car during lunch - like we all owned it. Except for the Ford Metallic Green, you nailed the kit - right down to the cramped 3 person vinyl back seat, designed for two. Great job - nice memory flogger - big Thank You for this build.
1970 was the end of GT 350/GT 500.
@@jwrockets at 75 I've forgotten more than I've ever known...
@@r.a.monigold9789 I understand.
Really cool Sir!
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very Cool Build!!!
Great build, great color!
4V stands for 4 venturi carburetor, not 4 valve. I think of the big three, Ford was the only one to do this.
The others used barrel or bbq.
Nice color.
bbl, not bbq.
Looks great, nice color thanks for the review
Great look for that Mustang.
Awesome mate👍
I use a lot of your tips!!
Turned out beautiful Chris! Love that colour! Looks classy. Take care bud ☺️👍
Great review Chris. After being out of the model building hobby for 35+ years, coming back, seeing you use Sharpie Markers for accent is an awesome idea. I know is sounds stupid simple, but it's a great idea. Love your semi-tractor/trailer builds. I know it's a time consumer, but I love those builds you do. Take care ... OB
Thank you for not "Elenoring" the model.
Looks sweet man. Love that dash
Neato! Fabulous!😁👍😀🛠️
I already have this model. You have given me so many easy tips on how to make model building so much more easy.
Glad I could help!
That mustang looks amazing! I’m New to model building and I’m using your videos as tutorials and tips, you do awesome work with these. Thanks for the dedication
That is a sweet ride, nicely done.
Glad you like it!
😄👍👍-Nice job, Chris!!
Thanks! 👍
Awesome Mustang Mach 1 Chris! That Champagne Gold with that black just pops! Really digging that black interior too!
Amazing what you accomplish with craft paints and markers...omfg.
Thanks man!
our mach 1 when I was a kid in the 70's came with those wheels and hubcaps, no spoiler, no stripes , no black on the hood or the bottom, it only said mach 1 on each side. Ours was blue, we also had a red one prior, a coupe and it had nothing extra either.
Looks really nice man! Great job!
Thanks a bunch!
Sharp! the hood stripe thing was news to me as well
Love the MACH I in yellow with black.
I really enjoy your videos. I haven’t done modeling since I was a kid. Now I have a grandkids to do models with. I recently picked up a 1978 AMT Ford pick up. Recently had an uncle passed away that had 79 1 ton with a hot rod motor. So matching his custom copper paint job he had was a little tough. Came out pretty good though. I mounted the body on a RC crawler chassis. The new paints are amazing no need to break out the airbrush. Thanks for the info on decals. It will come in handy on the Porsche with all the decals I have to do. I have also been painting mini Z Bodies they are very detailed and fun to build.
I just subscribed to your channel today and this was a great video and that's a badass Mach 1 the simplicity worked out perfectly and I never seen anyone use sharpies and I think it's a great idea, awesome.
Welcome!
Spanish guitar bananarama and model cars. Go pretty well together haha
Thanks!
Very nice model. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
LOVE IT WINDER GA
Dont know if this known but this is an MPC kit.
I noticed you brushed the Future floor polish on the car with the hood in place. I did that one time and it kinda glued itself to the car. Never again 😅 I brush it on separately.
Was just doing a quick comparison to the AMT '71 Mustang MACH 1 007 kit. Noticed this kit has an extended decal sheet, which is nice. Other than that, pretty much all the parts are featured in both kits. I just watched your revue of the Revell '71 Mustang Boss. That's a really detailed kit. Just wondering how the kits will compare for build wise. Guess we'll find out later.
A lot of the packages were dealer install and the hipo cars came with different makeups from the factory. I have a 68' "GT" - unfortunately, it is a dealer GT - not a factory GT. According to the vin, it was just a white 351 4b. Paperwork shows it came with a special hood, and the dealer did the rest. You could have bought a plain jane GT with no stripes - or the dealer could add them. Whatever it takes to sell the car. I once pulled up along side a 69 Olds. It was yellow, no stripes, regular, black soft-top. Looked like grandma's car unless you happen to see the 442 badge on it. Some folks like liked sleepers. My dad used to say that when the wife was in on buying a car, you got a sleeper. Great build....never seen FFP done on the whole car....thanks for that.
those gel pens seem to work real well
These are the Mustangs I remember the most from when I was a kid. But I don’t remember many stock ones. They all seemed to be jacked up so high the rear windows was horizontal. And the rear tires were 2-3 times wider than stock.
Guess I’d better prefer this kit !
Great build Chris. I think the real mustang appead in the James bond film diamonds are forever 1971
Yup, I did that version a year ago.
@@hpiguy many thanks Chris. All the very best for 2022
You could do this as Diamonds are Forever James Bond car! Although in the film it went in the alley on two wheels at one angle and out of the alley at another angle coming out!!
I have :)

Ok, so I broke down and bought one. OMG the body alone is going to take a bunch of work. There is all kinds of flash, the ejector pin marks a 3/8" in diameter or more on both the roof and the interior well. Finally, on the rocker panel just behind the driver's front wheel is a crater where it looks as though a large piece of sprue or runner was wiggled off instead of cut. It's going to take some strong, heavy filler to hide that sin. Tamiya putty won't do.
Make that 1971 Volkswagen Coca-Cola I like to see you build that
Great build once again Chris. Side note 4V is not 4 valve, it is 4 venturi or 4 barrel
You're right in terms of mechanics, but im pretty sure "4 valve" and "2 valve" was the marketing term for the 4 and 2 barrel versions of an engine. Athough i may be wrong about that since i dont know my fords like i know my mopars.
Most all push rod engines from this era didn’t have 4 valves per cylinder. They had 2. He’s right. It means venturi which is a part of the carb.
What's up Chris great to see another amazing video from you!I only have one question. And that is, how do you not have just over 7 billion followers!?!? Every human on this planetshould watch these videos and get just as much joy out of them as the rest of us! LOL JK but serious though, your videos are amazing the models you build look absolutely stunning and your quality of video making and editing is top notch. Thank you Chris you gave me 47 minutes and 4 seconds of pure joy in my day. Take care and have a great day.
Thanks man!
GOOD JOB. IM THINKIN ON GETTIN ONE TO BUILD A RARE 1971 BOSS 302.
Enjoy!
There can be only one.
Could you please give a updated version on the tools, paint and glue that you use? I found my hobby now, and I really love the way you do your vehicles. I said in 2022 I would do a kit every month but I’ve finished 3 already 😂😂. But I want to make them look pretty bomb like yours.
Going to get the Bronco later on as well💪🏾💪🏾
I do it the same as the painting with cheap spray cans video I did years ago. It's on the channel, thanks!
I remember fairly well when I got mine. Was sweet red ferrari like. It was so low that had to take extreme care when running over bumpers. Great conflict with my wife because of gas consumption: Those couple of months were fantastic but had to say goodbye.
To the wife or the car?😁
do you know where i could find a set of rims an drag tires i could get for this or do i need to get it off another kit
Does anyone know of an upgrade kit for the door windows? It looks weird with them down.
Can't go wrong with a Mach 1 .................. 👍👍
I had a 1971 Mach 1 in the early 1980's. The ONLY option mine came with was a C4 automatic transmission. The base engine was 302-2V and transmission was the 3-speed manual. I know you painted it a champaign gold, but it looks like what Ford called Light Metallic Pewter, the color mine was. I have the Otaki 1/12th scale kit completed. I think I bought it in 1984, maybe '85, NIB from a hobby shop. The gas tank looks like it is supposed to be a battery holder for a couple of AAA's. It included a plastic knob in the gas tank that looks like it was intended to be a twist on, twist off rotary switch, but there were no electronics included, not any instructions on how to do so.
Slathering that Pledge on there! You said you just brushed it on. My parents had a 73 Maverick Grabber with the same hub caps on it. White and orange. So 70s!
It looks like I brushed it on to me. I'm not sure what you mean.
I've shown how I do it dozens of times. This time is no different.
Hi. I love your videos n style of presentations. I just turned 59 years old and have been buying model cars n trucks like crazy cause I want to get back into model building after 50 years. It’s too cold to use spray cans and I’m anxious to get started. I thought of starting with the 65 Fairlane Modified stocker racer. Since it’s too cold I thought of hand brushing the whole thing. I thought of using enamel paint since I’ve read it dries smoother and last longer. It’ll be the poor man’s race car since it won’t be perfect. Any suggestions for me on brushes, primer, paint, technique, etc?
Nice work 👍...I see you put Pledge after...its that help to getting the color shinny ?? I got hard time to getting my paint shiny...thats why I'm asking ...🙂
I thought that when you were showing the Parts Pak ( wheels and tires ) at the beginning of the video, you would have used the gold-line tires.
That would have really made the tires stand out - but the body and rims color may have gone with a more yellowish gold tone. Someone may try that.
Beautiful job on your Mustang! When you were showing us the parts tree's, I saw the main roll cage hoop, the driver's side bars and a support bar. I never saw the passenger side door bars that were in the original kit. Does this release not have the complete roll cage? I enjoy building road race and round track cars
Turns out I can answer my own question. No, this kit does not contain the entire roll cage. You'll get the rear hoop, the driver's side bars and some of the support bars, that's it. If you want to build the road race option, you'll be fabricating the passenger side of the roll cage.
My uncle had one, in "Eleanor" yellow.
Your builds look like fun, I usually end up wet sanding and doing all sorts of complicated things that by almost the end of the process I’m kinda over the model. Does the future look streaky when it dries or it looks smooth?? Could you do close up shots on future videos? Thanks!
If you desire wet snot smooth glossy finishes it's not really for you. If you like a glossy end result that resembles cars from the 70s and cars you see in real life it works quite well.
Awesome job and great video! My question, if you don't mind, is about adding details on the painted body. While adding details with the silver Sharpie, or any other details, what happens if you accidentally hit the painted body? Do you mask off the mistake and repaint the area? Since there is no bottled color for the body spray, how can you touch up mistakes?
You can rub the Sharpie with a Qtip dipped in a little rubbing alcohol CAREFULLY and it comes right off.
The hood could be ordered with the black part painted or not,That nasa hood was optional on all cars and the ram air kit made it work,With out the ram air kit the holes had honey comb block outs to match it around the tail lights.The side strip they call a hockey stick strip and it was optional on all 71-72 mustangs even the coupes and verts.
How does the Maker X airbrush work on Models ?
Real glad Round 2 has been putting out these updates to their Mach 1 kit. I remember their previous versions of it being rather lackluster up until the James Bond kit. Great video and great build btw, keep up the good work!
Looks great. Awesome color choice.
Could you do a review on the new MCW enamel line of paints? They do factory correct colors and have some engine colors too.
I don't use an airbrush much so I would not be the right person to review airbrush paints.
If they make spray cans of their paints they are welcome to send a bunch and Id be more than happy to test them out.
@@hpiguy I don't think they have spray cans yet, but they apparently brush on real nice. I hope they do sprays in the future though.
She came out great. I have a question for ya. Have you ever had a build that turned out not so good? I have the 73 Ford falcon XB Mad Max mobile. And don't want to destroy it just to add some touches
I've had some that I didn't think were very awesome, that's just part of a hobby.
Nice build Chris! Do you sand between the primer and top coat? Thanks again for sharing!
Nope, spray and pray is the way. No time for all that sanding and worrying about perfection. 7-9 hours is what is spent per kit, on average. It's a quick review, not a show build. Thanks man!
@@hpiguy that’s good to know Chris! Thanks again for sharing!
@@hpiguy If you were to build a show piece, what would you build?
Can you take a wheel out of the amt wheel accessories.I’m looking for wide tires for a car I’m building
They are standard bias ply width, not wide.
I can get good results painting the entire body with a paint brush?
Unfortunately that usually doesn't come out very well, but that doesn't mean you can't try!
I like your color choice and combinations. I can paint ok, but the colors i pick out look cartoonish. I also enjoy the huge catalog of videos you have created over the years.
Thank you so much!
You are the master of the Sharpie, but I usually have a couple places where I smear it on the car....how do u clean it up without damaging the body paint?
I quickly rub it off with a Qtip. Almost like sanding it off gently.
Alcohol will also take it off but that can melt the paint too sometimes.
I owned a 71 Mach 1 with a 351C 2V which were faster than a 4V on the street.
I had a very basic '71. The only option included with the car was the C4 automatic transmission. I added front and rear spoilers but wished I had not added the rear. The paint color was Metallic Pewter, very similar to how this kit looks.
Just starting to do this for my brother recently diagnosed with cancer. His 1st brand new car a 72 but close enough. Put together the block (step 1 2 and 3). Problem is the intake doesn't fit flat against the block. Any suggestions?? Want to make it fit clean
I've not started mine, but my suggestion would be to carve up what you need to to make it fit. Much of it is going to be hidden by the air cleaner. The only cosmetic difference between the '71's and '72's is the gas cap. 1971's were pop-open, 72's were twist off.
I'm a huge fan and love all your videos. I'm having a consistent challenge I hope you have a solution for. I am ALWAYS leaving finger prints on the windows when I install them. Any suggestions?
Thanks man,
Rob
Keep your fingers clean when you touch it. Wash your hands before installing the glass and use tweezers to lay it in place and move it around if need be.
Great color choice on this model - are there any major differences between this and the James Bond car that came out a few months ago?
The only thing I saw was the decals ....
From what I understand, this '71 'stang kit is a "kitbash" of the kits that were made of this model of 'stang ('71, '72, '73) and that would explain the lefover parts.
Seems like a nice kit, but I've heard, oh, so many horror stories from pals who did previous releases of that kit, that I rather wait for Revell's release of their '71.
Are revell releasing a 71 ?
The biggest ( problem ) with kit and many of AMT/MPC Ford’s is the in-ACCURACY of the under-hood area ! Not factory stock by no means . Period. And speaking of engines ... this kit as well as the previous issue Bond 007 car ( that had a 429 SCJ engine ) is that both available engines , one is a Boss429 the other is a 390 ... neither of which was available from the factory in ‘71-73 .
Ya that kits box’s art work says 351 ... but it’s NOT !
@@davidjohnmiller4849 Can you think of any Ford kit that has a standard-head 429? Too many Bosses in the hobby.
@@v8cool231 They did show a picture of them scanning a 1/1 '71 Mustang to get the 3D data last year.
@@v8cool231 I searched the story referred to. They were doing a LIDAR scan of a Boss 351.
I wanna see your model car Collection
Loved the build!
Another great build
Not sure where I went wrong but, the spray paint bubbled up and doesn’t feel dry after 3 weeks. What did I do wrong. I primed and let that dry for a week. Ready to give up on this hobby
Is the hood not supposed to have the vent on the top near the windshield? I think it was pointed as a mistake. I’m glad it comes with the stripes. I’ll grab this one once it gets to hobby lobby!
No vents on the hood. Smooth.
I notice you use a lot of Testors brush bottle paints. I’ve used them for 45 years. Sad to see them go.
Is this a re-issue of the James Bond Mustang from last January, with better decals?
It is the same kit plastic as far as I know. Yes.
Love the build looks fantastic
Awesome build Chris! I love the color choices!!
Super cool nice build up once again
Always happy to see you build a ford.....especially a mustang! Great kit and another amazing job building it! ☺👍👍👍
Yeah buddy, another great build! I definitely have to get one sooner or later. 👍👍🤘✌🏻
Outstanding video and presentation. Great build.
Happy New Year 2022, great build up and preview of this kit! This would make a great foundation for the the original Elonor, in the first Gone in 60 Seconds.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful model Chris. Kudos!
How do You avoid ripping off pant with the tape?
Don't go super heavy on the paint, use light, mist coats. Remove the tape slowly at right angles. You could also try scoring the paint/tape line with a hobby knife before removal.
Nice build as always!
