i used to think "mach1 sightings" were silly.... - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

4V FURY · 10-13-2006, 10:06 PM

..... b/c they were not that rare. well here it is two point five years after production stopped and a sighting other than at a cruise-in or ford event is now quite rare. on the road this summer i probably saw less than six machs around here. i may even post up a sighting myself next time.

and if i do see you on the road, don't act like a cobra owner

,
wave the f*** back! lol

What if its in the part of town that if you stick your hand out at another car, you might get shot?

Mikestang · 10-13-2006, 10:29 PM

ii seen three outside of shows
and only 1 other this year at any shows
but carlilse

DSGnewbie · 10-13-2006, 11:35 PM

It's kinda funny you mentioned this because I rarely ever saw Mach's in SA for the first 2+ yrs I had mine. For whatever reason, I don't think I've gone an entire week this year without seeing another Mach. And for the most part, I rarely ever see the same Mach's (I pay attention to cars and who's driving them). I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of a few of them on the board at some point or another. Not really sure what's up with the recent spike in the Mach population here but it's not cool!! I liked it better when I thought they were rare.

Thunderbolt · 10-14-2006, 12:25 AM

I've only seen 3 in the suburb I live in, and I bought one of them that I saw 2 years ago. I have'nt seen one since.

MACH-ANGEL · 10-14-2006, 12:39 AM

I just completed a 700 mile road trip in mine across the Pacific Northwest & saw 0.0 Machs.

ponygt65 · 10-14-2006, 12:43 AM

Hell....there are three in my little town of 50K people...and I have seen three in Fresno......That's not including us.

65fastback2+2 · 10-14-2006, 01:53 AM

i see one about every 3 weeks

JDraper · 10-14-2006, 07:28 AM

The only one I usually see is the one parked in my garage...The closest other ones that I know of are about 30 miles away.

Mach1 EH · 10-14-2006, 08:16 AM

I used to see a couple regulars but I believe most ppl I know have sold them off.

Funny the ppl driving the 3.8s I notice are the least friendly. I try to wave to any Mustang, usually the 3.8 owners 'seem' not to notice me.

Hammer · 10-14-2006, 08:43 AM

I see one go by my house approx 7 to 7:15 in the mornings, Azure Blue with "Shaker" on the plate. Other than that, a rare spotting once in great while

MACH-ANGEL · 10-14-2006, 03:19 PM

I suspect that the Mach was not widely distributed in some areas and more so in others. It seems the highest concentration of them is TX,FL,& CA.
The lowest areas being; other Countries, northern & central Plains States and the Pacific NW.

8616v · 10-14-2006, 04:02 PM

I saw a Azure Blue one on a car carrier yesterday heading east...anybody buy one recently?

Catman · 10-14-2006, 04:11 PM

I def hardly see any around any more, it's weird. Guess they're sitting on used car lots now or something. I think mine is the only one in the immediate area.

TJ4Cam · 10-14-2006, 04:53 PM

I have seen 3 around here...........in the past 12 months! I think as time goes on you'll see less and less of the mighty one. The ones I have seen are still decent, but you know they are getting ragged on hard.

There is a white 03 5sp at a near by SVT dealer with a ONE OWNER banner in the window.
I hope it goes to a good home.

gvervoren · 10-14-2006, 06:03 PM

I've owned my Mach for almost 3 years now and I only seen 1 red one and 1 other DSG in Green Bay. There was A DSG parked in front of my DSG at a movie theater about 2 years ago. Does that belong to anyone here?

xxxxMach1 · 10-14-2006, 06:46 PM

SINCE they began production, I have seen 2 on the street and 2 on a dealer's lot. That's it, 4 different Mach's that I have only seen ONE time each since 2003.

This, of course, doesn't include mine.

Thunderbolt · 10-14-2006, 07:23 PM

Life is really a trip sometimes. Here I wrote yesterday I had'nt seen a Mach in my suburb in 2 years and boom, I'm driving down the avenue to go to Quizno's and what do I see coming in the opposite direction? A red Mach. :LAUGH: And he turns into the same strip mall as I was going into. I went in and got my sandwich and when I came out the guy in the red Mach whipped into the parking spot next to me. We B.S.'ed for about 5 minutes. That was really cool.

never heard of that before. maybe ohio ain't so bad after all. wow. maybe we should start a thread identifying the location of these rough areas.
sometimes when i go on vacation somewhere, i like to just drive around and get to know the basic layout of the city but its usually a smaller one like myrtle beach for example. it would be nice to know where not to go. this might be a good idea of a new web site to start up. unawaretravalersavoidingroughneighborhoods.com

toad · 10-15-2006, 05:23 AM

I see `em all the time. A white one at Red's indoor rande in Pflugerville... a white one entering/exiting my nieghborhood (block house) when I go to work and come home (could be the same one I guess) A ZY one at Lakeline mall. I TR one with louvers on 1431 on Thursday... a SY on 183

they are everywhere around here !

04azuremach · 10-15-2006, 03:56 PM

4 Mach's at MIR Friday night including mine. Was surprised the red Mach I see there all the time wasn't there. I laugh at him because he has drag wheels and tires and has yet to run a 12. Then again, I have a built engine and drive train and have yet to run an 11

slo65 · 10-15-2006, 07:04 PM

to be honest i see like 3:1 03/04 cobras compared to seeing 99/01 cobras or 03/04 mach's, and when i rarely see a mach i'm always driving the pos toyota pickup
