2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1: Interview with Rick Kelly

It was back in 1969 when the very first Ford Mustang Mach 1 was born. The car was designed by Ford as the bridge between the regular Mustang GT and Shelby GT350 in the pony-car line-up, plus the Mach 1 served as the 'performance Mustang' answer to rivals in the muscle car class. The Mach 1 nameplate was a success, and Ford offered the variant in the second-, fourth- and fifth-generation Mustang, with each model adding its own design flair. But all that was a very long time ago.
