1967 Ford Mach II

This exclusive photo captures the elusive 1967 Ford Mach II, snapped at the renowned Kar Kraft facility alongside a prototype 1970 Boss 302 Maverick. Kar Kraft, a clandestine "skunk works" operation, was discreetly funded by Ford Motor Company to push the boundaries of performance and innovation outside of the corporate mainstream.

When Ford got out of racing completely at the end of the 1970 season, employees at Kar Kraft were shocked when they showed up to work one day in November 1970 to find the doors locked and Kar Kraft closed for good.

The abrupt closure of Kar Kraft sent shockwaves through the automotive community, marking the end of an era. Despite its separate entity status, Kar Kraft's reliance on FoMoCo funding was undeniable. The facility's operations had been instrumental in crafting high-performance Fords that had to be developed and built outside of Ford's conventional corporate structure and protocols.

But with Ultimates back, we get to see Mach II again!

Mach II is okay… (Brian Wood was definitely the strongest writer on UXM!) although I think an Ultimate version of Surge could have more or less filled Nomi’s role in the series…

Still- I think a lot of the new mutant additions were pretty fun!
