My 1st Mach1 sighting in the wild

[RTFM]

I got to follow a FJG for a few miles up I-75 today. I've been daily driving mine around ATL for 7 months and that was only my 2nd sighting on the road.

I saw a black M1 with a few additional red stripes around Woodstock near 575 10 days ago. First one in the wild.

I cheated and set up to meet @2022Mach1 at a C&C last Saturday, and his is still the only non-showroom '21-'22 Mach1 I've seen.

The were two vintage Mach1's at the Sunday C&C in Scotts Valley, a Black 1970 and a Grabber Yellow 1972. The black one was awesome, louvers, spoiler, wing and shaker scoop, with a built 351 Cleveland.

What are the wheel spec s on that yellow M1 if anyone knows?

I will find out this weekend, I see the fellow who owns it all the time. I know it has 50K worth of mods on it and is for sale.

Thanks, grab a pic or two, interested on the offsets. don t want the poke but would like flush. It s so hard to order a wheel sight unseen as far as fitment. The OEM HP mach 1 front sticks too far and I don t want that black molding look either. Thanks again!

Since I live in a city where you can't go 4 blocks without tripping over a Mustang, it never occurred to me that they'd be rare in other places. But after driving from LV to central NY and back, and only seeing a half dozen at most over the three weeks, I believe, lol.
I saw my first Mach 1- gray- before they were released, probably 3-4 years ago? It had manufacturer plates and was just cruising in a residential area. Not unusual for here, Death Valley is only a couple hours away, Mt Charleston has some impressive grades, and some fun driving at 7-9000 ft. Every so often we see disguised cars, and ones with manufacturers plates.
Anyway, we do C&C at Shelby American early every Saturday morning. These Mustangs are part of a club I'm in, and almost any Saturday morning they are there. (List is in caption, below photo.)

So L-R... modded Mach 1, Mach 1, Super Snake, GT 350, HPP vert, GT, GT 350, S197 Shelby, 051A V-6. All but one S550s. Usually there are a couple GT500s. These are all members' cars,.
When you come to town, stop by. Good chance you'll see the biggest variety of Mustangs around, with these, the museum and the Shelby factory there.

C&C at Shelby Every Saturday? Man I need to plan a road trip!

Besides the one that just showed up on town on the local lot yesterday, Traxiii is the only one I've seen. On Saturday there were more c8s than the two Mach 1s we brought
.

Let me guess, it's Fighter Jet Grey?

Ran across my cars sister clone two days in a row, he came up a foot of my bumper while stuck in the daily old people in mini van traffic. I get messages every week about this car with every one thinking its me but just now seen it for the first time.

And we had a Black standard car come in for a look over, Guy picked it used, no strips, no options, fake track wing, front splitter looked like a HP unit without the lower part installed and the whole underside is bashed and cracked, fake aftermarket HP wheels in black and in the same size as the standard wheels with janky center caps riding on steeda dual rates and cheap no name tires.

I'm still asked what it is when I'm stopped by curious admires.

Well, I grabbed a few pictures, apologies for the quality. Our club put on a charity car show, and the cars were so close together it was hard to get a decent photo.
The wheels are HRE, say"Flowform", 19 front, 20 rear, but he didn't recall the offset. Shelby American did all the custom work on it, and apparently it's pretty much GT500 underneath. Suspension, brakes, exhaust (it sounds great, really deep), supercharger and probably more. They are just about flush (no poke) at the top of wheel well.

C&C at Shelby Every Saturday? Man I need to plan a road trip!

Definitely! It's very laid back- drawings, Shelby Store and Museum is open with discounts during C&C, tours of factory available. It's hard to predict how many cars will attend, but there are always interesting cars there. Besides the Mach 1s, Supersnakes, GT350s and 500s, Shelby sometimes brings out prototypes or rare cars. Great time of year now, too. Weather is beautiful.

Like a couple of weeks ago, Peter Brock stopped by with my favorite Daytona (he's in the white shirt and cap talking to the guy in the red shirt)

Ford GTs

These his and hers Lambos come by a lot-

At a Mustang show Saturday.
Probably 75+ Mustangs there.
Maybe 4 GT350s, 4 GT500s.
Only my Mach1.
And still, the only one I've seen in the wild was at a C&C in July '21.

 

[JPJr]

OK, hit up the big C&C around these parts.
The place where I saw the only other M1 I've seen.
Cars and Coffee Morrisville, NC.
Hundreds of cars.
Figured I'd HAVE to see another Mach here.
And I did, but only 2.
One was my twin, but without the Gurney flap or front splitter.
