Current Mach 1 Price Trend?

[UpACurb]

I drive by a Ford dealer every night after work and their DH’s have been sitting since last fall, for the most part. They also are “less desirable” specs, as they’re automatic and non HP’s.

Could be, but in my case I’m 26 and really appreciate the heritage and name plates of the 350/500/M1. And, little things such as the S550 having the classic Mustang dash shape, etc.

My daughter is 13 and we test drove a few Dark Horse HPs together.....she thought the dash looked too plain....like it could be any other car.....she said fun cars should have gauges and buttons .....not ipads (I didnt feed her any info before-I wanted her opinion without my influence to see if I was just getting too "get off my lawn" with the screens)

We also test drove a Mach 1 HP (10A) and she said she liked the Mach 1 better then the Dark Horse. She said I could sell my car for a Mach 1 if I ever wanted to change but never a Dark Horse

Crazy enough- we have also test drove GT500s together and she said she didnt like the big hood- that it made the car feel fat - she said it felt like a roller coaster when I let it eat but that just driving around she thought my car felt more fun - so she said the only other Mustang Im allowed to buy is a Mach 1 - Grabber Blue....6M.... HP ...leather Recaros

I always look from time to time as if I found the perfect car I might add it but yeah finding a Mach 1 in that spec is dang near impossible ......I would only want something within 200-300 miles of Southern CA - been looking for fun for a little over a year and have never seen that spec come up so that has to be good for long term collectability that finding the right spec car is this hard......it took me over 2 years to find my car so I wont give up lol

Well, first off, the fact that you got to bond with your daughter over these cars is fantastic! But my sense is that the Mach 1 that you are allowed to buy will be eligible to be driven in, oh, say, about 3 years....... I look forward to the follow up post when you find that Grabber Blue Mach 1.

Attached are some files of Mach 1 auctions at BAT.

I recently went back into BAT's sales history and continue to watch for Mach 1 listings there. I've recorded 24 Mach 1 sales, the last being June 2026.

Comparing Mach 1 and DH sales at BAT, the numbers are 24 to 18.

About two years after the Mach 1's debut, there was a cluster of sales. I can understand that? People bought, enjoyed the car and moved on to something else. With respect to the DH, BAT sales seem to have happened sooner in that model's production.

Something else in the attached: reserves not met. Mach 1 listings where reserve was not met: 25%. DH? 50%.
