    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Thank you for the info! That is along the lines of what I'm looking for, sound mechanical differences and how to change them. Intrinsically, the Mach 1 will hold its value better all other things aside imo. Style-wise, I LOVE the headlight-to-headlight area of the new Mustangs as its very...

    Shelby GT-H to be released as a retail model

    Ford...you're really hurting me here...its like I decide what vehicle to buy and before I do they come out with another model! ah! Mach 1...or new GT...or GT/CS...or '08 Boss...or Shelby GT... Ok I can probably only afford one of those, easy choice!

    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Well obviously, but are they THAT different? Not like they're '69 Mach 1 vs. Mustang II different. Both are solid cars with plenty to build on right? I just want to know beforehand if I'm paying $19k for a used Pentium II, when I could be getting a Core Duo if I had waited.

    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Price-wise, I've found a number of Machs with 7000ish miles on them for $19-21k. That's a nice price for almost new. GT's on the other hand, I've seen people asking $26k for a standard coupe, a few options and 22k on the odometer! That's almost MSRP! You could find an '04 GT with the same miles...

    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Ok, I know the basics on the 2 engines. Mach 1 has a DOHC 32v 4.6L (305 advertised hp) while the new GT's sport a SOHC 24v 4.6L (300hp). I've read in a couple Mustang brochures that they substantially strengthened the new frames (05+) and I guess shaved weight by doing things like an aluminum...

    Mach 1 Bought a Mach 1

    I've been searching my butt off for one to buy as well, but hard to find anything near my town :( Good luck with yours! Now to call the owners of an 04 grey and 03 red I found within 300 miles...

    Mach 1 Special Edition Mach 1?

    I know all Machs don't have those polished chrome retro magnum wheels, was that an optional choice? Everyone that I have seen sports the more "brushed aluminum" looking ones.

    Mach 1 Special Edition Mach 1?

    Didn't think about checking the VIN, didn't want to look like I was snooping in his car in case he came along! heh Was the Mach 1 package offered as a stand-alone option purchase? I know you can buy the new GT/CS pieces as a set from Ford and bolt them on yourself - but this car DOES have the...

    Mach 1 Special Edition Mach 1?

    It is a Police Department vehicle if you notice, and I *really* couldn't see some PD spending the money to make a GT look like a Mach 1 - but could be, people do anything! Should also mention I saw the 2006 Hertz Shelby cruising around the streets twice while I was there, but didn't catch any...

    Mach 1 Special Edition Mach 1?

    Saw this 2004 in Honolulu, some differences I noted: 1) Color, is like a torchfire red 2) No hood stripe 3) Polished retro mag wheels 4) Black "Mach 1" pop-open fuel door 5) Color matched rear spoiler 6) Huge exhaust tips, seemed much larger than other Mach's

    67 Coupe FINISHED! (Well close enough)

    Took me a little over 3 years from start to finish. Start was a badly rusted (battery apron, all floorpans, rear quarters and wheel lips, torque box, fresh air intakes, more) side swiped and bondo'd, 60-80 overbored 289 that had just caught fire melting everything in the engine bay, with 3...

    I have $15,000 to spend on my 68 fastback...what would you do?

    Wow, wish I could have done all that for $15 grand! Mines sticking with the manual drums, manual steering, no a/c, small rearend with no limited slip, original radio (works!) for now :) In fact, I'm ok with all of that but the rearend! Its a classic, not a daily driver.

    Mach 1 Mach or '05+

    Well I highly doubt I could find any GT/CS (let alone the one I want) on a lot in new mexico - definitely not at the local ford dealer that serves roughly 15k people in the area. That means I would have to put in an order for one, which would hopefully negate most or all of the dealer markups ~...

    Mach 1 Mach or '05+

    I'm in the same boat truely. Everyday I see what eBay has to offer me in Mach 1's, and if something just right doesn't come up soon I may just put in an order for a '07 GT/CS. I want Azure Blue I want most to all stock parts on I want < 5,000 miles I want garaged baby I want it to be...

    68 Coupe Just Finished

    I vote rocker panels on! I've never liked the look of anyone's 67-68 when they leave those off...you can change a lot of parts, but not those imo. I'm going to give mine its wash tomorrow and do a few pics, my resto has just been completed too! 67 coupe in acapulco blue will let you see how...

    1967 Hood mounted turn signals

    Well got those signals working wonderfully after I used the right plug and replaced the emergency flasher fuse! Couldn't find my old neutral safety switch, I'll pick one up sometime.

    1967 Hood mounted turn signals

    Dropped by autozone at lunch and they couldn't even get one (of course), cost 50+ dollars out of a resto catalog, and after seeing the picture of one I KNOW I've seen it around my house or in some box. Too bad I just took a load of old crap to the dump yesterday (DOUH!) might have been in there...
