Ford resurrects Mustang Mach 1, a throwback to the golden age of muscle cars - CNBC

Ford Motor is resurrecting a well-known model of the Mustang called the Mach 1, a performance version of the pony car that first debuted during the golden age of muscle cars in the late 1960s.

The 2021 Mustang Mach 1 is expected to offer better performance than the current Mustang GT at 460 horsepower but be more attainable that Mustang Shelby GT models, which are high-performance and track-focused cars that start at more than $60,000.

"Mach 1 has a special place in Mustang history, and it's time for this special edition to claim the top spot in our 5.0-liter V8 performance lineup and reward our most hardcore Mustang enthusiasts who demand that next level of power, precision and collectability," Dave Pericak, director of Ford Icons, said in a release.

The model returned for the 2003 and 2004 Mustang models.
