Thanks to all the members that know how I am, my whole project into the Mach 1 adventure was because of my love for my Mach 1 and just Mustangs in general. Unfortunately I had to let mine go in favor of a 39k mile 2006 GT which now is Supercharged and pushing about 495 HP. Its extremely fast!
Ive also Mach'd it so to speak with the shaker scoop.
The cost of me restoring my 72 was going to be way to cost prohibited for me. When I bought the Mach, I had money, when the economy dumped it killed my business. So some toys had to go. I also sold my 79 Trans Am, my 86 Indy Pace car Corvette convertible, and my 06 Hummer and my 07 GT.
I have 4 rental properties I couldn't lose so cars were expendable. Not bragging, just pointing out there was a method to my madness. I have been sick nearly everyday since the Mach left the stable, kind of like your girlfriend dumped you sick! :heart:
Anyway luckily things are recovering for me, currently hunting another Mach 1. However initially it probably will be a 03-04 and I am also in discussion for a 71 Mach 1 red in color but could be awhile since this guy would only sell to me, and hes not sure he wants to sell it yet, but his health is poor. Ive loved the Mach1 since I was about 10 years old and I saw a red and black 1969 Mach 1. I related to this since I was a kid I watched Speed Racer with the Mach 5!
I learned long ago that a car can sort of be replaced, but living in a cardboard box is not acceptable. I also learned never to live beyond your means. The economy crashing was a benefit to me because I got super tight.
For the record, I don't know how all this happened with FAST but I can tell you it was in no way intentional. Sometimes for me I add so much stuff to the site on a daily basis its not always easy to tell whats a new post and whats not. Rocketfoot probably can relate to that.
Mach1Club.com is geared strictly for Mach 1 owners and enthusiasts, it is not in competition with 7173Mustangs.com although we share a common thread of the 71-73 Mach 1.
I will always do everything I can to help Mustang enthusiasts and I never mean ill will towards anyone!!
I have some plans going on right now that hopefully will help the entire Mustang community! It will also be 100% free.
Members of 7173Mustangs are always welcome on Mach 1 Club, we have recently gained a few members from here, but this is to help all 71-73 members as a whole not to take anything away from anyone!!!!
Rocketfoot said it best our 2 sites are really the only ones out there that cater to these particular cars, but they are losing the step child persona each passing day and becoming more valuable.
I think they will become great investments within the next 5-10 years.
I am always available to anyone via my 800# please do not hesitate to contact me if I can help in anyway!
Couple of photos of my 06 GT
The photo below is totally stock and before any of my mods. Although this 06 doesn't have the same cool factor of my 72 it would devour the stock 351 Cleveland in its best day!
