Finally got our Mach 1!

[2021 Mach 1]

My husband and I finally have our Mach 1. It was a long wait with several unexpected turns but we pulled home our FJG HP tremec Mach 1 on Saturday night.

We originally ordered our car with every package (700A, elite, HP, manual) on April 10 and received our VIN number a couple days later. Original build date of July 5 which was pushed back numerous times until it was finally canceled a couple weeks ago. We were on the fence about ordering a 2022 because of the decrease in Horsepower, possibly not having the 700a package option, etc.

I started looking all over the the United States for a Mach 1 with all that we had ordered and couldn't seem to find any with the exact build. Found some that were close but large mark ups which we were not willing to pay since we originally ordered at MSRP. Last Wednesday I found our exact build in Colorado with car in transit. It had a markup but I text the salesman just for laughs, because I was certain it wouldn't work, "MSRP and it's a done deal". Couple hours later I get a text "OK we have a deal". I hadn't even told my husband about this . That night I said, so I found this car......... 2 days later everything was finalized. We drove our beautiful car home on Thursday and it is waiting for PPF, full ceramic, and tinting in January (which was our appointment date for having our original ordered Mach 1 done).

My husband placed the original order on our Mach 1 after I test drove it, taking my word that we needed it! We can't stop smiling and can't wait to drive this thing when it is finished getting the ppf and ceramic. Also, nicer weather since we are in Seattle.

There is so much more to this story but this post is already long enough. I've enjoyed reading everybody's posts and hate to admit how much time I've spent parsing through all the posts over the past 8 months!

Congrats on the new car, it looks amazing! It's great that you both enjoy the car. Well done for securing it at MSRP. I'm so jealous, here in the UK you simply could not buy a new 2021. Right now, the nearly new ones are trading for $85-90k.

The big day was yesterday and we made it home from our 300-mile adventure from a Tampa dealer in the worst weather. 3806 Oxford and another Black Mach sat in storage in Tenn for two months where they are not very popular. The dealer in Tampa bought them both and I locked a deal before it even arrived on the Oxford. 3806 is in the garage now. What a BLAST to drive and put my last 13 GT to shame.

Finally got a picture of the chassis number. M4991.

Beautiful car. How does the clutch feel compared to the GT350 and the MT82. My wife had problems with the MT82 clutch being to stiff for her back. Thanks for the post.
