Marcus SlaterMustang Forums The Mach 1 Mustang and the GT40 are two very, very different ways of making a Ford go fast. They're both legendary in their own way for their own reasons and really don't have anything in common... Well. They didn't have anything in common until now. This car is the work of Eckerts Rod Shop and has been dubbed the "Mach 40." Now, it would be an egregious sin to hack
