1969 Mustang Mach 1
3,783 m.p.d.
Mickey Thompson put his boot in it at Bonneville in September 1968 and blasted his Class C 1969 Mustang Mach 1 to a new world record: 3,783 miles in a day. He beat the old 24-hour record by 405 miles. His average was 157.633 m.p.h.--a big 17 m.p.h. faster. He smashed 295 other records along the way.
It needs to be noted that Mickey took three Mustangs with him to Bonneville, a blue, yellow and red Mach 1. Although the blue Mach 1 is shown below, it was the yellow one that set the record. The driving chores were shared with Danny Ongais and Hot Rod editor Ray Brock.
