I appreciate them. I like to see them at meets. And I know they kept the brand alive. But it would take 2.2 of their 5.0s to match a stock EBs hp, and Pontiac was making a pretty good TA during the same time; it’s too bad Ford couldn’t throw the enthusiasts a bone until the 82 Fox.
Do you ever wonder, though, if the sales were due to it coasting on the reputation of the previous Mustangs? This was again in an era with no internet. Even the Vega was well reviewed when it was initially released....
...I had two......
...a Red one and a Yellow.............
...THIS is the BEST Mach 1 EVER....
I like old fords fun to look at and remember your youth. But not "best" in any way unless in your eyes best looking. Old cars didn't turn, stop or go that well. The 1964 winter nationals was won by my hero a 64 Thunderbolt a bad ass fire breathing race car. It ran 11.78 at 123 mph. (close to what a stock 2021 Mach 1 will run) No 60 or 70 stock car ran under 12.20. I know it was all about the bad tires. A lot of cars in the 70s with slicks and no traction problems only ran in the 14s and 13s, I was one of them....THIS is the BEST Mach 1 EVER....
.....get away from me!!!!!!!!!
I do like that orange color though.
I jest!!!
What set up did you end up going with for your forced induction?Supercharged and dynamically enhanced MACH 1.
I owned one with a 4 cyl engine called a "Pinto".
I jest!!!
