2003 Mach 1

Took delivery of a 2003 Mach 1 Back on July 25th. This thing hauls boo-koo butt. 4.6 liter DOHC with 305 hp, Torch Red, 5 speed manual trans. Took it to California last week and got about 26 mpg and did over 130 mph on a deserted stretch of desert highway. It wasn't even working hard. I am still breaking this baby in, got about 2k miles on it now. My SD must be getting lonely. Drive the Mach 1 if you get a chance, buy one if you can!

2003 Mach 1

I went for a ride in my uncle's Grabber Blue Mach 1 on my wedding night. I was quite impressed with the car, even with 4 of stuffed in it, it still hauled butt.

2003 Mach 1

I hope you didn't have four people in it on your wedding night! That might get in the way of things. I can't (refuse) to put anybody in the back seat. It is to small in the back for anthing but young kids. I will shoot on sight any of my young kids that I catch trying to get in the car period! It is for me and the wife to have fun in, or me to have fun in! It hauls butt...Ken.

You can't the shaker hood won't work.

I'm curious as to how close to sticker price did you pay? Was it on the lot or did you order it? Enquiry mines want to know.

2003 Mach 1

Paid sticker price, about $29,700 or so. It was in the dealer showroom in Reno for a few days before I bought it. I don't have any pics yet, I will see if I can find some time and take a few to post. Going to go to Hot August Nights in Reno tonight and check out some other cool vehicles.
