2004 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 CONVERTIBLE <<MY PROJECT CAR>>

fix my 2003 · Sep 20, 2004

Well, I was told for this project, I had a budget for $50,000, and the GT alone was ::sigh:: $35,000 it is pretty much new. So I dont have enough to get another car, like a Mach 1, and do the swap. So I figured I could just build up the 03.

What is the V6 emblem everyone talks about? V6???

And my GT is an manual.

Also, what is the biggest, badest, Ford motor that I could get into this that would incorperate a working Shaker? I was thinking a SCJ for a while, but that would not fit... would it?

35k for a GT convert? Man, you can buy those for a 22k here along with a used Mach I for 22k and have 8k to swap parts.

Your going to need to swap a lot of parts, so might as well have both cars side by side and just take parts off the GT and swap the parts from Mach right in.

This would be fun to do.

Good Luck

the only thing I am going to say in response is and then to just do a FRPP 5.0 Cammer crate motor swap. then add some wheels, suspension, mach 1 chin spoiler and grill delete. that would make a sick GT

v6 emblems are the side fender emblems on the side of the mach:

fix my 2003 · Sep 21, 2004

could I get mroe info on that FRPP 5.0 Cammer crate motor?

Also, I know I over paid a little, but it was the only one they had in stock, and I did not want to wair 2 weeks lol.

$35K for a GT vert? Holy crap, they saw you coming. That's without a doubt Cobra money right there.

The Mustang is a great car, but come on....50 grand? Corvette, Lotus Elise, S2000, WRX STi, etc. start coming to mind. As for engines, you'd have to be crazy to buy a crate engine from Ford. While it's daddy's money, you don't have to be stupid with it. A built engine from any of the top speed shops will cost less, or equal at the most, than that Cammer engine and put out LOTS more power.

Better yet, just hold on to the money for now. Let it sit and collect interest or something....wait until the next SVT Mustang comes out.

5.0L Cammer Crate Engine
Four downdraft Weber 2V carbs.
FRPP prototype 8-pot manifold
420 horsepower @ 6700 rpm
395 lb-ft torque @ 4000 rpm

One small problem: $15,000.

For the same money, a place like Modular Ford Powerhouse (T&J) could build an engine that would make the Cammer seem like a vibrator.

streetstang03 · Sep 21, 2004

true, i couldnt remember what the price was exactly, i was thinking around 10K. the boys at MFP know their shiit.

fix my 2003 · Sep 21, 2004

ok that is more then what I was thinking haha.

So Ill stick with the Mach 1 motor.

jbrown · Sep 21, 2004

35k for a gt? I paid 25.5k less for mine. I think the retail on a new gt is like 25k or maybe 28k for a brand new vert. Try to return your gt and just get an 03+cobra. At least you would already have the 4v engine, youd just have to live with the fact that theres already a supercharger on there(oh darn). You could have bought a brand new cobra and had 20k left over for mods.

Sticker on a premium vert is like $29,500. 35K for a GT vert doesn't make sense.

Maybe he's from the Great White North and the price and budget are in Canadian $'s?

DarkFireGT · Sep 21, 2004

hahah $35k?!?!? Dude, you got

I paid $19,9 for my coupe 5 months ago.. Brand new 73 miles on it. Granted, it's a coupe.. But it was a premium GT. Difference between a coupe and vert has got to be 2k at most... You could've had an extra $10k for mods if you'd had just gone to another dealership

Hope you had some lube with you, 'cuz that had to hurt.

w00t · Sep 21, 2004

I paid 17K for a triple black 2002 Vert w/ 8K miles last Oct...Sorry to say, but someone owned you, fugly style.

CManT1914 · Sep 21, 2004

Is this guy serious? How is someone gonna be sitting around and thinkin about building a vert Mach 1 for about 40 minutes, suddenly come up with $50,000 as a budget, then just go and spend $35,000 for a frickin GT vert? You got owned dude. $35,000?!!!? That hurts just thinkin about it. Geez, $35,000...... Is that Canadian or American?

When I was looking for my GT one one the local dealerships had a 2004 GT Vert for 34k, supposedly with all the extras.

This whole thing seems a little weird to me......It will be interesting to see whether it is all talk or not (or complete BS). I guess ill just wait and see. But i will say this; most rich people i know, are that way because they're smart with their money. This isnt exactly fitting the mold.
