In a world where “nobody with a good car needs to be justified,” one blue oval holds the title of Queen of the Road. The queen is none other than this lethal 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Complete with a gorgeous yellow and black paint job, a Cleveland engine and a enough power to shake the world, she is a force to be reckoned with. Recently she underwent a complete overhaul performed by Passing Lane Motors in Fenton, Missouri. Sit back, as YouTuber RamblinAround takes you on a tour of this fine machine.
Her yellow and black paint job is sure to catch the eye of any gearhead, as are her muscular body lines. Other eye catchers include the chrome front bumpers, the signature ram air hood and the rear spoiler on the deck lid. Fine subtle details include the Mustang emblems, the Mach 1 decals and the chrome wheels. Greeting the driver in the interior are a pair of racing buckets, performance gauges and a modern stereo to complement the engines soundtrack.
Powering her down the strip is a 351 Cleveland motor that has been bored and stroked to 412 cubic inches. It has been hopped up with a host of Edelbrock performance parts, from the intake manifold to the aluminum Performer RPM heads, topped off with a Quick Fuel carburetor. The motor is tied to a C6 three-speed automatic, shifted by a B&M shifter and runs to a Ford 9-inch rearend. The titan 412 sends its fumes out through a custom exhaust system which sings the song every gearhead knows by heart.
Recently, Passing Lane Motors sold this Noble Steed. We are sure the current owner has having the time of his life enjoying her on the street. Does this video remind you of the first beefed up classic Mustang you ever saw?
