Default Part of the CLUB!!!

Hey Guys-
I am now part of the club!!! 2003 Zinc Yellow MACh 1!

So the back story--
Test drove an 03 Mach in 04, ended up getting a different truck all together at the request of my now ex wife.
Wanted a mustang for 10 years now. 3 weeks ago, finally got in the position to get one. Picked up an 01 with 70,000 on the clock. Loved it. Drove it for 6 DAYS before I was sitting at a stop light and hit more or less head on by two cars at 45 mph. Needless to say, it totalled the mustang.

Found the replacement today....... Loving it, and questioning if I am mature enough to have this car, cause all I want to do is burn outs and stuff!!!

Pics are coming soon, promise....
When I bought it, some one thought it would look cool to put one of those wire mesh type grills on there.... I can't post pics till I get the right parts (already ordered) from Ford.

Congratulations. Personally, I think you got the best looking of all Mach 1s (now....why would I say that).

I got rid of a 96 Z-28 that I loved (and had for over 13 years), when I found my mint 03 Mach 1. The Mach is a blast to drive and boy does it make a visual statement.

Prepare to get more attention with your zinc yellow Mach 1 than you can believe. You'll never feel like you're driving a "used" car. Your car is going to be an "eye magnet"....and I mean that in a good way.

Have fun. There isn't a bad looking color in a Mach 1, but zinc yellow is a stand out.

Sorry about your 01, but you have definitely moved up in Mustangs with the Mach 1. Good luck with it and I know you'll be enjoying it.

Wire mesh grill???? Come on man, don't do that!!!!!!! There's a reason people with GTs and 6 bangers spend hard-earned money on aftermarket Mach 1 grill deletes! I understand though, the car is yours and that's your preference. Wash her, shine here, give her a good backdrop and show us what your workin' wit.

The Mach 1, without any honeycomb or wire mesh grill, has a distinctive look that sets it apart from the crowd of Mustangs.

OH NOOO!!!!! You guys are miss-reading!
PRIOR OWNER put a mesh grill on. I used the "Missing mach 1 grill" as a huge bargaining chip. Haha Stupid dodge dealer salesman!!!

The guy before me put the wire mesh grill on! I already ordered the stock grill from Ford. Can't post pics until I get the stock one on and it looks right! Hopeful;ly tomorrow...
