The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a combination performance and appearance package offered as an option for the Ford Mustang in August 1968 for the 1969 model year.
Over the following years, the package was available with various engines that became more modest as emissions controls, unleaded gas, fleet mileage quotas, and higher gasoline prices undercut the "horsepower wars" that were the origin of the option. Similarly, early packages included other "performance" upgrades, such as suspension, that were deleted in subsequent model runs, leaving only a wide array of external and interior upgrades.
The Mach 1 package was available until 1978, briefly returning between 2003 and 2004 as well as between 2021 and 2023.
