Ford
’s first use of the Mach 1 name came
on a concept vehicle – a wheel-less
single-seat pod tethered to an arm that
allowed it to glide on a cushion of air
around a circular track set up at the Ford
Rotunda in the spring of 1959. Ford ’s
Levacar Mach 1 Concept was an
air-propulsion flying car of sorts,
suggesting that vehicles in the future could
use ducted air to levitate and maneuver at
high speed while off the ground.
The Mach 1 name was resurrected in 1966
for another Ford concept car that was
meant to preview some aerodynamic and
styling advances for a futuristic
high-performance Mustang fastback. The
two-seat Mustang Mach 1 Concept that
was shown at the 1967 Detroit Auto Show
featured a slanted areo-grille, severely
chopped roof, large air scoops and steeply
slanted rear glass as part of a full
hatchback -- a design feature that
wouldn ’t appear in production until 1974.
Ford updated the Mustang Mach 1 Concept
with a new front-end treatment in time for
touring the auto show circuit in 1968 to
herald the popular pony car ’s third styling
refresh due the following year.
By the time 1969 had rolled around, the
again restyled and upsized Ford Mustang
was facing a series of new challenges, both
in the muscle car wars taking place out in
the marketplace by an onslaught of
powerful new competitors, and inside of
Ford Motor Company, where a new, Steed
for Every Need marketing approach
expanded pony car offerings to five distinct
models with at least 10 different
powertrain combinations. Ford's Mustang
had galloped into its fifth model year
refreshed with unmistakable good looks,
thanks to its 2+2 fastback now called the
SportsRoof, featuring upper rear-quarters
cut with forward-facing scoops and a
dramatic tail that incorporated an upswept
rear edge. Even though the GT equipment group
introduced in 1965 was again available for
a final year, it was overshadowed for 1969,
as the hot ticket was an all-new Mach 1
model – wearing the name borrowed from
those radical recent Mustang show cars.
The new Mustang Mach 1 came standard
with the 351, a desirable mix of appearance
enhancements, plus special reflective
bodyside stripes and an uplevel interior.
Later, a flat-black rear decklid spoiler and
a set of rear window louvers were added
as dress-up options. To many enthusiasts
today, a ’
69 Mach 1 equipped with an
optional new-for-’ 69 428 Cobra Jet V-8 is
the first true Mustang muscle car and a
top-shelf collectible.
Other than yet another front-end
freshening (including going back to just
two headlamps and adding non-functional
outboard air inlets) and the elimination of
the side scoops, the biggest change to the
1970 Mustang lineup was a move to the
Cleveland-design 351 V-8 over the Windsor
351 version from the year before. The GT
model was dropped in the face of the
Mach 1's popularity, but the 428CJ engine
option was again available across the
board. By 1971, Ford ’s famed
first-generation pony car had already
undergone its fourth major facelift, growing
in every dimension to accommodate even
bigger engines. The ’ 71 Mustang featured
an extended nose with a body that was
wider, close to a foot longer and around
600 pounds heavier than the original. The
SportsRoof-only Mach 1 model was now
Ford's bread-and-butter enthusiast model,
especially with the optional new big-block
429 Cobra Jet engine, good for 370
horsepower.
There were only minor changes on tap for
Mustang in 1972 and ’ 73, most of them
dealing with the options list and the
continuing emasculation of engine
offerings and horsepower in the face of
emissions and fuel economy regulations,

We respect your privacy and are
committed to protecting it. The
information contained in this publication
was correct at the time of going to print,
but as technology rapidly changes, we
recommend that you visit the regional Ford
website for the latest information. Your vehicle has electronic control units
that have data recording functionality and
the ability to permanently or temporarily
store data. This data could include
information on the condition and status of
your vehicle, vehicle maintenance
requirements, events and malfunctions.
The types of data that can be recorded are
described in this section. Some of the data

Service Data
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing
diagnostic information about your vehicle.
This potentially includes information about
the performance or status of various
systems and modules in the vehicle, such
as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and
service your vehicle, Ford Motor Company
(Ford of Canada in Canada), and service
and repair facilities may access or share
among them vehicle diagnostic
information received through a direct
connection to your vehicle when
diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.
Additionally, Ford Motor Company (Ford
of Canada, in Canada) may, where
permitted by law, use vehicle diagnostic
information for vehicle improvement or
with other information we may have about
you, for example, your contact information,
to offer you products or services that may
interest you. Data may be provided to our
service providers such as part suppliers
that may help diagnose malfunctions, and
who are similarly obligated to protect data.
We retain this data only as long as
necessary to perform these functions or to
comply with law. We may provide
information where required in response to
official requests to law enforcement or
other government authorities or third
parties acting with lawful authority or court
order, and such information may be used
in legal proceedings. For U.S. only (if
equipped), if you choose to use connected
apps and services, you consent that certain
diagnostic information may also be
accessed electronically by Ford Motor
Company and Ford authorized service
facilities, and that the diagnostic
information may be used to provide
services to you, personalizing your
experience, troubleshoot, and to improve
products and services and offer you
products and services that may interest
you, where permitted by law. For Canada
only, for more information, please review
the Ford of Canada privacy policy at
www.ford.ca, including our U.S. data
storage and use of service providers in
other jurisdictions who may be subject to
legal requirements in Canada, the United
States and other countries applicable to
them, for example, lawful requirements to
disclose personal information to
governmental authorities in those
countries.
Event Data
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder. The main purpose of an event
data recorder is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle; this data assist in understanding
how a vehicle
’s systems performed. The
event data recorder is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger seatbelts were
buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

Page 20 of 530

Note:
Event data recorder data is recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data is recorded by the
event data recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) is recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder data with
the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an event data
recorder, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have such special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the event
data recorder.
