humm? 03 mach1 for 8500.00
well i found a 03 mach1 with127 k on it clean car , it has a 5 speed with 4.10s at least. the speedo is way off, they never corrected it ,with a speed cal. so im sure its got alot less miles than that . cover looks like it never been off. so im guessing it was done years ago. funny thing is it night be 10 off at 50 but at 75 its off about 40.so the faster you go the more its off. i dunno does that seem right? i thought it would be the same off at all speeds?
anyway if i get it , i'll have to swap it over to an auto for the mrs. anyone have any auto swap parts . or what to swap auto mach parts for std ? let me know
does $8500 sound good i think so. int paint is ex. it got a tear on the driver seat where you get in at , thats it. its got the int. package upgrade also. i got no idea what the correct mileage would be. that sucks! could be 90k or 60k ?

Secondly...that speedo sounds more than a little off, even with 4.10. The MACHs came with 3.55 to begin with. Something is not right. The 10mph sounds right and should be consistent at ALL speeds...not different at different speeds. Run the carfax see what it states for mileage. I'm thinkin someone tried to mess with the odometer and screwed up the speedo.

Having different sized gears will throw your speedo off by a percentage, not by a set number. If you are going faster, the speedo will be off by more.
