Description
1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 – 351ci Cleveland V8, FMX Automatic, Older Refurbishment
This 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 represents a true icon of American muscle, finished in factory-correct Dark Green Metallic (code 4Q) with silver lower-body accents and classic Mach 1 stripe graphics. Power is provided by a 351ci Cleveland V8 paired with an FMX automatic transmission and a 2.75:1 rear end, delivering the bold performance and aggressive styling that defined the early 1970s Mustang lineup.
Reportedly refurbished under prior ownership, this Mach 1 was acquired by the current owner’s father in 2009 and has been sparingly driven since, with just 2,500 miles added. The odometer currently shows just under 82,000 miles, with true mileage unknown. The car benefits from several tasteful updates including a four-barrel carburetor, an aftermarket stereo system, and a recently replaced steering box.
The exterior features front and rear spoilers, grille-mounted driving lights with yellow lenses, body-color mirrors, Ford-branded mud flaps, and 15” Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in period-style Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS tires. A walk-around video and additional photos highlight the well-preserved finish and visual details.
Inside, the Mach 1 features green vinyl seats with matching door panels and center console, black carpeting, and factory instrumentation. A modern head unit replaces the original radio, and the steering wheel is fitted with an aftermarket cover. Note that the passenger-side mirror adjustment cable is disconnected and the dashboard lights are currently inoperable.
Mechanically, the 351ci Cleveland V8 delivers strong performance, and an oil change was completed in the last year. The FMX transmission shifts smoothly, and the replacement steering box contributes to improved drivability. The vehicle is accompanied by a clean North Carolina title and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine and stylish example of a classic Mach 1.
