The Mach 1 started in 1967
#1
During 1967-'68, Ford introduced a short-lived concept Mustang called the Mach 1. It was a slippery '67 fastback-based styling exercise shown around the country at new car shows, in car magazines, and at National Council of Mustang Club round-ups. The Mach 1 was a huge success--so much so that Ford would assign the name to the all-new Mustang SportsRoof body for 1969.

The '69 Mach 1 also debuted with raging success. The Mustang fastback had evolved into a super slippery flatback body. Some say that there has never been a better looking Mustang fastback in the marque's history. Ford splashed striking graphics on the Mach 1--color-keyed side stripes, matte-black hood striping, hood pins, sidescoops, chin and deck lid spoilers, sports slats to keep the sun out and the cool in, and twin-set headlamps. it was an ultra sharky facade few car buyers could resist.

Was the pic above a model or an actual vehicle that drove.
If it drove, wonder what happened to it.
