The prototype was designed at the Ford Design Center in Dearborn, Michigan.
The Mach 1 concept teases the design direction of the production 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. The concept featured large rear-body scoops, racing style flip-open fuel doors, four exhaust ports and mag wheels.

Mach I was a Mustang fastback prototype with an extended front clip, functional air intakes, and a competition-type ducktail spoiler. The stock top was chopped and the windshield angled back a rakish 64 degrees. Quick release filler caps were located on roof pillars behind the fixed side glass. Back glass and deck lid were opened by hydraulics from inside the car. Aluminum honeycomb panel chassis was powered by Ford’s 427 V-8 engine.

Created as a preview of the 1968 model, the Mach 1 Concept originally had a nose that drew inspiration from the 1963 Mustang II concept. Later on, the Mach 1 grew a new face that was closer to production Mustangs of the time. Although the low-cut roofline and racing-type fuel cap never made it to production, the hatchback did arrive on the 1974 Mustang II.
