Worth getting?
 

So i found a local mustang Mach 1. Has a few mods, 5 spd, azzure blue w/ 58k miles on it. Guy wants $12k obo. However on dyno he said if threw a rod through the block. would it be worth getting and fixing? and how much would it cost to fix? (I/my dad are pretty mechanically inclined and have pulled and rebuilt a few motors in our day, plus we have many decent hook ups w/ shops and auto parts)

so is it worth getting and fixing? if i can get it for under 12k?

RE: Worth getting?
 

I know which Mach youre talking about. Cory's right?

Thing is beautiful and IMO worth it. I wouldnt think it would be too much to fix.

RE: Worth getting?
 

^^ yep^^

it looks amazing, im not a blue person, but i love it!

i really want to find out how much you guys will think it will cost

RE: Worth getting?
 

I'd love to know how much it would be too. Seems like someone would be getting a steal!

Whats the full extent of the damage do you know? He messaged me the night it happened and said the car was done, but never got specific with it.

if the rod deal is true, no it's not worth 12k or whatever, an engine for one of these costs 7k......and no way a rolling chasis is gonna cost 12k.

ah alright, another quick question

how much do you think it would cost to take a manual mach 1 or even GT and turn it into an automatic? and could i use any 99-04 mustang trans?

RE: Worth getting?
 

hrmm, i dunno i've never done the swap before man. cost of the 4R75W + converter, and some random other pieces i would say probably near 3 grand

ok thanks... i really want a mach 1... but all the good priced ones are 5spds. and im not sure i want a 5sp. i mean i dont do alot of city driving, i do alot of back road country driving... i am decent as stick right now... as always first and reverse are the hardest!
