I need your opinion
I found this supposed Mach 1 on craigslist and I am wondering if it could be a clone... it has the Mach 1 style interior but is missing emblems, hood decal, side skirt decals, etc... If its real it is a good price but what do you think?

Well, it's definitely NOT in showroom condition, like the ad says, without the striping! But, it definitely IS a Mach 1. If you really want to be sure, ask the seller for the vin#, if it has an "R" code for the eighth digit, then it's a Mach 1.

Ha. And the side skirts are black what the h***! Was just thinking I could fix it for just a little more money... Well I just found these ones on auto trader and they blow the white one out of the water lol. Hopefully I sell my car this weekend

There was no stripe delete package for the Mach 1 from the factory. Short of having the VIN #, the easiest way to know it's a real Mach 1, is to look at the C-pillars. People may remove the the stripes and badging, and replace bumper covers and such, but very few would be willing to change the C-pillars out! The Bullitt and Mach 1's have very unique C-pillar posts that sharply cut back towards the front of the car, giving a more fast back look to the car, whereas all other Mustangs of these years have a fully curved C-pillar post.

The C - pillars are where? I think I just want to buy one that is correct and not pieced back together after some retard got a hold of it so I am willing to pay for it. Looks like I'm gunna have to travel a little to get one though. All the Machs in my area right now are expensive! like 18k...

[QUOTE=Mach1man;6210444]The c-pillars, or sail panels, are the part of the roof that comes down behind the rear side windows and meets the rear quarter panels. On the Mach 1 and Bullitt models, it cuts back sharply toward the front of the car, on all other models, it's a gentle curve.QUOTE]
Never noticed that but now that I think about it I do see that difference when i think about the differences betweeen my GT and my Mach. As for the OP dont rush into anything I kind of did with mine and its not worth it in the long run, wait until you find something you are 100% with something before spending that much money.
