Ford Mustang Mach 1
In 1969, Ford introduced the Mach 1 name to position themselves
for the "street performance" market. This was right during the peak
of Muscle Car Wars, where almost all the American auto
manufacturers were competing against each other to see who had the
fastest car. Unlike the original Shelby GT350 or
the Boss 302 where the
purpose of the car was simply to win races, the Mach 1 was designed
with mass-market and profits in mind. This meant that luxury
appointments as well as hot engines and wild gear ratios became
mandatory on the Mach 1's. This was Ford's attempt to manufacture
an "one-size-fits-all" performance automobile, which was ended by
stricter emissions and the fuel crisis.
