- The C-pillars feature a unique trim
appliqué that gives the roofline a subtle throwback appearance and
distinguishes the car further from a GT.
- To enhance the low-to-the-ground
appearance, the car features more prominent rocker-panel moldings and
another classic Mach 1 trait, an air dam extension, painted low-gloss
black. A low-gloss black stripe runs the length of the side just above the
rocker moldings.
Mach 1 is available in Oxford White, Ebony, Colorado Red, Zinc Yellow,
Azure Blue and Dark Shadow Gray clearcoat finish.
- The experience of sitting inside Mach 1,
with its woven leather seats, is a blast from the past. The seats are
covered in one-of-a-kind "comfort weave" black leather that is reminiscent
to the material that was unique to the original Mach 1. The seats offer
increased lateral support and four-way adjustable head restraints.
- The center stack and shifter bezel are
painted in a gray accent finish and highlighted by an aluminum shift boot
ring and aluminum shifter ball. The accelerator, brake, clutch and dead
pedals are polished aluminum. The gray-backed instrument cluster features
unique retro-look dials. Mach 1 comes standard with the Mach 460 six-disc
in-dash CD changer audio system.
- Available with a choice of a five-speed
manual or a four-speed automatic transmission with electronic overdrive.
The 4R70W automatic transmission is upgraded with a heavy-duty gear-set,
auxiliary fluid cooler and brazed 11.25-inch torque converter to withstand
the added power of the Mach 1's MOD 4.6 V-8.
- Mach 1 uses a new rear axle with a
high-torque differential and a 3.55:1 axle ratio.
- Thirteen-inch Brembo front rotors and
performance calipers provide excellent stopping capability. The calipers
have a black-anodized finish and are visible through the 17-inch Magnum
500 wheels spokes.
- Mach 1 is lowered one-half of an inch
compared to the GT and uses a firmer suspension for better-balanced ride
and improved handling characteristics. The performance-handling package
includes:
New front and rear coil springs with adapted load and rate
Re-valved Tokico© struts in front and shocks in rear
Unique stabilizer bars front and rear
Added frame rail connectors to stiffen the body

Engine and Transmission Modifications
- The functional Shaker is modeled after
the original 1969 Shaker. The Shaker is mounted to the intake manifold and
directs fresh air to the air filter tray assembly.
- The dual 57mm throttle body feeds air
through a cast aluminum intake manifold and into a set of new high flow
four valve cylinder head.
- The new cylinder heads house a 5.4L
4-valve intake cam and a high performance exhaust cam. This cam
combination greatly enhances torque at lower engine speeds.
- A new set of exhaust manifolds are port
matched to the new cylinder heads.
- The mufflers are tuned to create a
unique sound and the tips are chromed setting the Mach 1 apart from other
steeds in the stable.
- The Mach 1 axle has been upgraded with a
high torque differential that is coupled to a set of 3.55:1 final drive
gears.
