Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Well,

The car is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.

Original Windsor motor gone with the fairies and the Gearbox might have gone with the gremlins (may not have?)

What I am sure on at moment is this.

- It is a Mach 1 car and not a clone.
- It does have the wood grain dash/steering wheel that I always wanted in my Dodges (that I no longer have)
- The engine is a 351 Cleveland which I wanted to buy to put in a normal sports roof in place of a windsor, but managed to find a mach 1 that is worth more though not numbers matching with the right engine in it already for what I wanted to spend extra on had I got a sports-roof with a 351W. The engine is a little worked as well, so it provides more HP than standard, just have no idea how much more.
- It has a 2500 or 3000 stall converter
- It has a roll cage which I also wanted to buy and add.
- It has the torque thrust wheels I always wanted

So over all, it had everything I was going to pay for extra upon purchasing a sports-roof and it came with the Mach 1 badge making it worth more on top of it all. That to me was a bonus.

I know 1 thing, I can drop those shocks and buy some Bilsteins just to make it have some decent ones under there.

Will post more once I get more information. Car got paid for today officially.

Should have bought a Charger


Being a Mach 1 is a bonus, keep everything bolt on and the value will still be there for the next guy......or call DSE or RS and really make it fun!

"she's a looker Clark" I like that color with the factory stripe, are you keeping the rear window louvers?
