The 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1, with only 5,814 miles on its odometer, is a pristine tribute to Ford's heritage of performance and iconic design. This particular Mach 1, finished in the original "CX" Dark Shadow Grey paint, carries an air of refined muscle with its factory-original look accented by upgrades that heighten its power and handling, making it a rare gem in any collection. Powered by a Vortec-supercharged 4.6L DOHC V8, this Mustang elevates the factory Mach 1 experience to another level, delivering an exhilarating drive through a 4-speed 4R70W automatic transmission, which provides a smooth, yet fierce, shifting experience.
Ford released the Mustang Mach 1 in the early 1970s as a performance-oriented model, complete with distinct styling and an engine that resonated with muscle car enthusiasts. Fast forward to 2004, Ford revived the Mach 1 to celebrate Mustang’s legacy, paying homage with a limited run that included unique badging, aggressive styling cues, and a higher-performance setup than the standard GT. This model is particularly special as it commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Mustang, adding to its collectible appeal.
Equipped with the factory interior upgrade package, this Mach 1 offers premium features, including Dark Charcoal leather sport bucket seats, a center console, power-adjustable driver’s seat, and the iconic Shaker hood scoop, a nod to classic Mach 1 style. The interior retains its original "AW" code, indicating the Dark Charcoal leather, and is further complemented by features like air conditioning, cruise control, and a six-disc CD changer with the Mach 460 sound system, enhancing every drive with comfort and quality audio.
This Mach 1 features 17-inch wheels fitted with robust 245/45 tires on the front and 315/35 tires on the rear, which not only improve grip but add a powerful stance on the road. The original rear wheels are included with the vehicle, making this an ideal option for collectors seeking authenticity and originality. In terms of handling, the Mustang is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes with Hydroboost, ensuring optimal stopping power to match its supercharged performance. Power steering with rack-and-pinion setup and a full sway bar system further refine the handling experience, offering a balance of control and smoothness.
Underneath, the Mach 1's undercarriage and engine bay are meticulously maintained, with the factory aluminum radiator and aftermarket TA Performance differential cover adding durability to its setup. The exhaust system, while largely stock with manifolds and dual pipes, includes Flowmaster mufflers for an unmistakable V8 growl that defines the Mustang’s sound heritage.
