Interesting... My brain always has issues processing the dash being flipped around like that, it's just weird

Neat. One day I plan to be where right hand drive autos are the norm and give it a go.
Are you buying a 2nd? :thumbsup:

Not presently, always window shopping though. There was no way I was having this done to my Mach, had a 2000 GT converted before we were successful in getting rules changed that stopped the forced conversion of these vehicles to RHD. The conversion was expensive $20k plus and the car never handled as well, not to mention destroying the Frontal Impact standard etc.

Center consol remained untouched, so it would open towards you. That'd be quite a pain.

Mate. FORD does not make right hand drive Mach 1's. These conversions are done by local company and charge over $20k. The engines have to be moved about 47 mm to the other side and that means the drive chain is not aligned properly makes for harder gear shifting. Don't get me started about other engineering problems such as air bags and frontal Impact quality issues. Its clever, but its just wrong on many levels.

Wow! Pricey lol I see the hood release is still on the left hand side too.
