Mach 1 fam, I am coming back. Thank goodness. - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

TRbetngu · 07-17-2020, 11:50 AM

After a long separation from these awesome cars, I am coming back.

I was told back in 2017 that at the time I was only allowed to have one expensive hobby, and I chose guns AND off roading. Figured I had alreay overextended myself and figured another Mach could wait.

After four long years, I'm looking to add a Mach 1 to my household once again. This one will be my fourth, (only had Torch Red Machs before this, looking to mix it up this time) and there may be more anticipation for this one than any I've ever had before. I finally have been blessed with the money to not take shortcuts on the buying of the perfect car, and more importantly, the modding of the car. I am going to try and be patient, insanely picky, and find the absolute perfect car to start with.

So many people have asked me why I won't just get a new 5.0, or a 2011+ GT because they are "newer and have more power". Hard to explain to those types, but all I can say it you just don't understand the true value of these cars until you're in the drivers seat. They are something else.

Look forward to being back, and chatting it up with everybody.

If y'all see a CLEAN Azure Blue Mach, maybe Oxford White. Let me know.

Thanks dudes. Already messaged a few, but there are an amazing amount of Mach 1s that are overly clapped out. Makes me sad.

Keeping an eye on the classifieds here for an original owner car would be most ideal. They come along every now and then.

Welcome back gotta love the Oxford White ones. Probably harder to find those.

I've come to find out all of the colors are fairly easy to find, but the hard part is finding one that seems well kept. I'm not afraid of mileage if the car seems to be in great shape.

A one owner car would absolutely be ideal, but those are tough, tough, tough to find.

It is very sad to read on Facebook Mach 1 Registry, so many are priced for peanuts. But then again most of what is for sale is beat to snot, I keep telling these younger 2nd, 3rd and even fourth owners these cars are special. Prices are going to go up for ones that have low mileage, unmolested and well maintained.

TRbetngu · 07-27-2020, 03:00 PM

Alright dudes. I am now an owner once again!

Azure Blue 2003 with 60,661 miles. All stock except a P1SC pushing about 8lbs. According to the previous owner it's at about 420hp and it sure feels good.

Already have an MGW on the way and was able to find a Bassani X pipe on eBay at a good price. So excited to be behind the wheel of one of these cars again. Look forward to chatting it up with everyone!

Nice! Congrats man. I bet it feels awesome getting back in the saddle.

I love it. It's an indescribable feeling!

Truly amazing and beautiful Mach, I'm also wanting to get back in a Mustang and Mach keeps going through my mind. Just something about a shaker.

I'm in the same boat, now that I am starting to look.
I figure with enough time, I'll find the right one when the time comes.
