I didn't, it was in OH. Although the previous owner is good friends with Scott Hoag of MRT, so you may have seen it there at some point.

The main one is Scott Hoag of MRT who was one of the engineers at Ford during the Mach 1 production. The others are people who played a large role in either engineering or marketing of the Mach's at the time of the launch.

Only thing I have to address is a small leak to the power steering pump. The line at the bottom of the pump that screws into pump seems to be leaking. Nothing major, but should be taken care of. And I notice that the oil filter has a drip that runs down the filter.

Things still left to do:
Oil change (this week, hopefully adressed minor oil drip)
Power steering pump fixed (prob weekend after new years)
SS braided lines in the back (next brake job)


Thanks for all the sompliments guys!

Jazzer you suck LOL, I read tha first part and my heart sunk I was like **** ahaha Then the goofy "top penny" comment made me feel a-okay.

Yea it's an amazing upgrade. Since I saw one of these cars I wanted one (color specific). There is not one thing that is not better on this car than my GT. It rides better, handles better, stops faster, pulls harder, sounds better LOL. I love the mach 460 system...

I upgraded my GT with a HU, amped BA co-ax speakers front and rear, 10" sub and the only thing is the GT system has more bass capabilities. But I have been noticing myself not listening to music AS loud anymore...I think the 4V sound is at fault

It's a little worse in the snow than the GT, between the added power and that it has Eagle F1 tires on it. GT had dedicated snow tires.

What else? Meaning?

If I had known what it was like to be in one of these, I prob would have got one from the begining lol.

But since I owned the GT, I met a guy at work who is the president of the Tri-state Mustang club who then told me about his buddy selling his Mach 1...the rest is history LOL. Looking back on how things lead to another is quite interesting sometimes.

After I get it in "sellable" condition. Take out my HU and put stock one in. Take out my amps and sub in the trunk. Have already put stock shifter in it but have a Tri-Ax that can go with it. Waiting for the stock 17's to be shipped to me since selling it with the 16" winter wheels makes it an eye sore AHAH.
