Classic Car Lost to Time: The Mach II Concept

The Mach II concept toured the auto show circuit in 1966. The mid-engine, road-ready prototype built by Kar Kraft in Brighton, Mich., displayed a street-competition racing theme and was a forerunner to Ford's mid-engine success at Le Mans. The car was a driver, and you can see some of the concepts in the later Shelby Lonestar concept, however, the two share little else.

The car was first shown at the Chicago Auto Show in 1967 and was seen on and off again until the early '70s before it disappeared forever. Be sure to get out and check your Grandpa's garage.
