Unique opportunity to acquire The Ultimate Pro Touring Mustang Fastback
Do your diligence and see for yourself. Mustangs like this rarely come to market as the market is saturated with
lesser quality builds and bad Eleanor clones.
The real deal is right here! A Top build is the sum of the best components and the skilled craftsman behind it.
The Ultimate Pro Touring Mustang FastbackThese are bold statements but considering the offerings on the market over the past 5 years we feel this build
clearly justifies our claim. Cars of this caliber RARELY come up for sale as owner’s commission top builders all
over the USA to build their dream car and they sit in private collections for many years. Some of the wildest Pro
Tour Mustangs built have had blank check funding totaling up to $700,000. The last incredible 69/70 Mustang
Fastback to be sold to the public was the Ring Brothers Dragon, which sold for $385,000+ buyers premium and sales
tax 2 years ago in Scottsdale. The final cost was well over $400,000 for that killer car and there hasn’t been
another 69/70 fastback built to that that level since. The 69/70 Mustang fastbacks are becoming so coveted because
of their historic Trans Am roots and their bad ass styling as buyers today are enthusiastically seeking these
models built with modern amenities and just enough custom flare to make it unique and more enjoyable. If you have
ever driven a stock 69/70 Mustang even a Boss 429 they are nothing to write home about and are unsafe in their
handling and braking on our congested public roads. This Pro Touring Ford Mustang Mach 1 can be shown nationally at
any Goodguys event with honors due to the level of craftsmanship and detail throughout. It can compete in the
Optima Street Car Challenge and any SCCA Autocross and Street Machine of the Year events and be eligible for
vintage racing in specified classes. The Mach 1 was originally built for a private VIP client of ours who
meticulously demanded the best so we designed and developed this car over the course of 2 years. The car is
properly sorted and turn key. The brake system and suspension were developed by the leaders at Detroit Speed while
leading suspension engineers at JRI, sorted and fine tuned the dampening and spring rates for months. The full
sequential 8 throttle body 427 engine is so fine tuned you can drive it in 3 hour long traffic easier than a new
2016 Mustang and the monster 600+hp 427 Stack Injected motor runs cooler than the modern modular 5.0. This car not
only looks incredible but it drives unlike any other custom built Mustang in the country and will out handle any
other Pro touring car on the market with the right skilled driver behind the wheel and planted in the Porsche 997
turbo bucket seats that were custom tailored for this car. This Ford Mustang Mach 1 Pro Touring is a balanced and
well-executed masterpiece. Tenaciously fabricated and built with precision by true artisans and performance
engineers with the goal of creating the ultimate modified Mustang fastback in the world. Not overdone with shaved
door handles and unreliable and jarring airbag suspension or cheap Billet wheels. This car was built with style,
luxury and performance, This car is the perfect mix of original classic 69/70 Mustang styling with the proper
modern touches juxtaposed perfectly to create the masterpiece that it is. The best components and partners were
instrumental in this build to truly make it spectacular.
What stated with an original September 1969 built Mach 1 according to the Marti Report was meticulously transformed
into a work of art after over 2500 hours of true artisan craft was dedicated towards this build. The parts cost on
this project was over $150,000 not including all labor. The rust free original donor car was $52,000. This build
cost the owner well over the current asking price. Do the math and realize a top tier build does not come cheap but
starting with a rust bucket and inferior bolt on parts never makes any sense in the end. This Mach 1 wears all
original sheet-metal and you know how rare this is. The body modifications are so subtle while we retained the true
classic lines of the original design by enhancing just the right areas without going overboard on the theme which
usually takes away from the styling. Our parent division ACS Garage, a team of highly trained custom car builders
and performance engineers who have built multi million dollar cars over the past 25 years, exotic, muscle and
Concour level restorations . ACS Garage partnered with the BEST vendors in the industry to make this project a
reality. This car was built to drive, handle and perform beyond the levels of most custom car builds. The majority
of components on this build are one-off. We turned to the most dedicated racing circle of industry experts in the
world by using Nascar engineers and companies to offer the best of the best in performance parts. The level of key
components that were designed, engineered and perfected for this car all come from Nascar country.
The vehicle has garnered worldwide appeal because car enthusiasts know it was built right. Our partnering vendors
still say it is one of their favorite builds as they regularly blast the car on social media. Detailed top to
bottom from the meticulously polished stainless steel screws and hardware throughout to every square inch of the
custom patterned and tailored Italian leather interior that would be at home in any Hermes workshop. The body is
straight as an arrow and the black paint reflections are nothing but breathtaking, the photos speak for themselves.
The car can be shown with mirrors under it’s gleaming skin as all of the hardware is polished and all other
components expertly painted or powder coated to perfection. The exhaust system itself is a work of stainless steel
sculptural art.
There are a ton of junk boxes on the market these days and if anyone is knowledgeable you can pick those cars out
quite easily. All you need to do is see their spec sheets and look up the costs of those parts versus what we are
disclosing on this build to see the drastic differences. There are even cars on the market priced well over ours
that are running a carbureted engine or a glorified fox body donor 302 and some using a REPOP body shell from
Taiwan with no authentic Ford serial numbers for title and registration. This Mach 1 has serious mass appeal inside
and out, the best parts you can source and some of the most amazing custom car talent thrown in for good measure.
We have over a 1000 photos and support docs documenting the entire build which will be included in the sale along
with testing and development media, software files for different fuels and driving conditions, spare parts and
detailed support for the next owner on set up, alignment, braking. Full disclosure of all build costs and parts
costs will be given to the new owner.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
Ford Focus RS makes US debut in New York, hits dealers Spring 2016
Wed, Mar 25 2015Attendees at the 2015 New York Auto Show will be among the first American consumers to see the all-new, third-generation Ford Focus RS. The Blue Oval announced the super-hot hatch will make its US debut in the Big Apple next week and will arrive in dealers roughly one year from now. We've covered the raging Ford, which is being sold in the US for the very first time, ad nauseam. It debuted in early February, made its auto show debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and is finally crossing the Atlantic, complete with at least 315 horsepower from a 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. A trick, torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, an industry-first Drift Mode, a proper six-speed manual transmission and looks that can kill round out what we're wagering is a wildly entertaining package. On top of announcing the Focus RS will hit dealers in the spring of 2016, Ford gave us our first look at a production color. While the Geneva Focus RS was finished in the same Liquid Blue as the Ford GT, Mustang GT350R and SVT Raptor that showed up in Detroit, the hue on the NYAS car, called Nitrous Blue, is one of four that will actually be sold on the Focus RS. While we're waiting to see it in person to render our final judgment, based on pictures alone, we're smitten. Alongside Nitrous Blue, Ford will offer the Focus RS in Stealth Gray, Shadow Black and Frozen White. In other news, your author will be starting the official campaign to bring back the gorgeous green from the last-gen RS immediately. Check back next week. Until then, scroll down for the official press release from Ford.

UK's Loughborough University improving Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine
Wed, May 21 2014How much does it cost for college students to study zero emissions vehicles? At Loughborough University in the UK, a new Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is being built at a cost of a billion pounds ($1.7 billion US). The school has just announce that it will fund a number of grad student positions and is creating a new Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, which sounds like a fun job to us. We're weird like that. There will be a total of four professor-type positions in the new Center, including the chair, all focused on teaching students about low-carbon vehicle technologies, specifically electric and hybrid ones. The school is investing 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) for the new positions. There is a bigger picture as well, a 26-million pound ($44 million) Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Integrated Variable-valvetrain Engine (ACTIVE) project, which uses funds not only from the school but also from Ford and others. The point of ACTIVE is to study Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and "improve further its efficiency and ensure it exceeds 2020 emission regulations." This is already a popular engine for the automaker, and it will need to stay at the bleeding edge of efficiency to remain as important in 2020 as it is today. Loughborough University has been working with automakers on advanced energy technologies for years, for example with Rolls-Royce and fuel cells in 2007 and the Lotus Hotfire engine in 2008. University invests GBP1.5M in advanced propulsion research to advance zero emissions vehicles challenge Loughborough University is investing GBP1.5M over five years in strategic research appointments, inspired by the global challenge to develop the new advanced propulsion technologies required for the move to zero emission vehicles. These appointments reinforce the University's world-class research in low-carbon vehicle technologies, adding new dimensions concerned with electric and hybrid drives. Four appointments will be made, including a Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, supported by a number of PhD studentships. The GBP1.5M investment is part of the University's commitment to the recently announced Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to support the development of new supply chains for low carbon vehicles. APC is an initiative established by the Automotive Council that will see GBP1 billion of investment from government and industry over the next 10 years.
