1970 Dearborn Special?
« on: July 14, 2019, 02:58:41 PM »
We have a member over on VMF that states to have a 1970 Dearborn Special, much like the Twister. VIN starts with 0F05H to indicate that it is a Mach 1, but in the photo provided it does not have the side cladding. The owner has stated that he has ordered a Marti Report, but just wondering if anyone has heard of such a version?

These ones were built in Dearborn, but were shipped out elsewhere.
Maybe there was a version built in Dearborn that was their regional special too?

Seems weird that it has Mach 1 on the stripe and chrome Mustang script on the fender.
I bet it doesn't have a Mach 1 interior.
Shouldn't it be at least an M code to be one of the Specials?

Edit: I can see in the pic no sport lamps so it's just a sportsroof model

Actually, the Twister has the chrome script. This one is missing the Mach 1 side cladding.

I see sport lamps and high back seats. Again, the owner claims VIN starts with "0F05H", "05" would be a Mach 1, "H" would be the 8 Cyl. 351 CID, 2 barrel carburetor, correct?

Correct for 70. 

Also as a reminder, mach1's had 2V carbs as well, Base engine.
