Mach 1 Badges - Side vs Rear size?

[BrakeFade]

Can someone do me a huge favor and measure the rear & side Mach 1 badges? My Mach 1 has a black horse on the rear trunk panel and I wanted to put the Mach 1 emblem back on there as it came from the factory. Previous owner must've ripped off the trunk emblem and stuck on the black horse. I'm hoping I can get the horse off and install one of the fender emblems on the rear instead of buying a whole new panel.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It appears that yes, they are different sizes. Photos attached.

Thank you for the help!! Well, looks like I may be ordering a takeoff panel from fleabay...

I believe the rear logo is flat, while the fender one is curved along the fender. I am also surprised you can remove the rear one, it looked like it is glued (or fused) to the panel.

I was just looking at the back panel on my car and it appears to be the Ford blank unit with a black pony emblem stuck to it. The panel has the long indentions on either side of the pony. The OEM Mach 1 rear panel is flat all the way across.

Do you have a pic of the black pony on yours? I have been debating doing that myself or atleast was curious. What others said the side/rear are different sizes.

Maybe the OP should check the engine bay as well.

Or Carfax report. Maybe it was replaced due to an incident.

Previous owner might have just wanted it changed. I believe you can buy the black pony version all as one piece. I researched it but i didn't like the lines on the side.

I have a love/hate with the mach 1 logo. Its font is a bit old school (so is the ford script) so i don't feel its as modern as it should be compared to the rest of the car's design.

Its first world problems but I had my fender logos removed and it cleaned up the side a lot in my opinion. I was curious of what a flat black pony would like on the gloss panel for the mach 1. Also thought of blacking out the mach 1 logo as that could be cool to.

That decklid is not from a Mach 1. We don't have those lines. So personal choice or damaged.

The car had 900 miles when I bought it. The car came with Sidestripes pulled and the rear bumper red lights were swapped for black ones. Original reds were in the trunk. I guess the deck lid plastic piece could’ve been replaced due to some damage or something? Fortunately, I see absolutely no signs of bodywork anywhere on the car. The other weird thing, the car has nitto 555 on it and not the ps2’s on the original mach 1 rims. I’ve bought a bunch of cars over the years, the car shows like it is brand spanking new. Zero discoloration on the exhaust and not a drop of dirt anywhere on the undercarriage. It’s a head scratcher for sure. That’s why I ordered new side stripes and plan to go back to the original deck lid panel.

I think our MACH 1 rear badge comes with the decklid.
