Exclamation 03 Mach1

What do you guys think of this car? I have been looking for a while now and have not found one this cheap. The car looks like it is in great shape, but $15K makes me a little suspicious. Lower I have seen for clean cars is like $16,500.

Seems plausible to me, there are a lot of distress sales going on. Find a Ford guy to go look at it for you, or fly up yourself (cheap insurance).

I was going to see if Sean would like to take a long drive on my dime. We will see. About a 6 to 7 hr drive. The flight up there would be $125 a ticket plus rental car. Even if I pay for gas and such i will save myself the $$

I think it looks sweet. I'd be proud to drive it for sure.

Doesn't the Mach1 have the same engine that they put in the Cobras before they were supercharged?

Yes. They run 13.5 with a good driver, so maybe with a little and I mean little seat time I can run numbers like Sean!!

Actually better than the non s/c cobra motors. It has the 03+ heads which flow better than the older ones, and the 5-speed machs have forged cranks, which the 99/01 cobras didnt even have.

edit: Jump on that car like a fat kid on cake.

I am going to go get the car tomorrow. Thanks for the knowledge Arron. I did not know that about the crank and heads.

Dammit you guys, I'm excited and I don't even get to go along! Have fun, be safe and let us know how it goes (went).

This is me, living vicariously thru you!

For the record, I always loved the old boss 302 in yellow!
