my dad is just finishing up the 03 zinc yellow mach1 he bought wrecked.
i know hes gonna drive it around for awhile then probably end up selling it.

im in love with the car except its an automatic. i was planning on building up my car but im thinking about trading my dad my car plus cash.

It really depends. The resale of the Mach is probably pretty low but if you plan on keeping it and modding the hell out of it then do it. I wouldn't do it if you plan on getting something new within a few years.

 

I say save your money and buy a 5 spd that doesnt have a salvaged title. A Mach is something you will want to keeep for a long time and you will just feel better about your car.

 

Well the good part about the mach 1 is that your dad rebuilt it. If I was in that situation I wouldnt buy a salvaged title from anyone else. But since you know the work done, you can assume its probably legit. Also, even though its an automatic, cant you just buy a new tranny and have your dad swap it out?

 

im not worried about resale or it being salvaged.

i could always do a 5spd swap but i think id have more into the mach then i would if i built my car.

if i were to save my money and get a differnt car id get a 96-98 cobra or 03-04 cobra

 

how much do you think your dad would want for it and where are you located at?

 

not sure how much hed want for it but my cars worth about 4k and im sure the mach is worth atleast 8k. i could do alot with my car for 4k

 

Just build up your car or save up for a 03/04 cobra.

 

if you plan on drag racing it the auto mach would be sick.

Just throw some 4.56s in that bitch with a 3800 stall...youll love it

 

I guess it all depends on what you want to do, I know that I ran a 15.4 @ 92 mph in my 96 GT hardtop 5 spd with 275's, Bassani O/R x pipe and flows... I think I can expect at least a 13.5 out of my stock Mach and I cant see why you wouldnt get that outa your dads Mach. I think it would be difficult to get that out of your sn-95 vert. with 4k. Plus the Mach imo looks better, even than a Termi. No offence mustang3GT07 lol.
