Chris Lott's 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Scoring this 1970 Mustang Mach 1 was like finding a needle in a haystack.

As excited as Ford Mustang fans are about the new Mach 1, there ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby. That’s why Chris Lott searched long and hard for a 1970 Mach 1 just like the one his father owned when he dated his mother in the late ’70s.

Lott, of Austin, Texas, found exactly what he was looking for just four hours from his home, and he even thought it might be the actual car his parents once owned. Turns out it wasn’t, but Lott’s search for the car, its 16-month restoration, and the day that he and his wife presented it to his parents are documented in two videos that Chris thought might offer fellow car enthusiasts an uplifting message during the COVID health crisis.

“We could all use a little feel-good content with so much that’s going on, right?” Lott asks.

Right you are, Chris.
