Bought my youngest a car
1 Attachment(s)
Nope, not a Corvette. I found a reasonable deal on a 2003 Mustang Mach 1. Paint is only driver quality (true 10 footer) but the interior is clean, the body is in good shape, and it is pretty clean under the hood. I had my oldest son drive it back from Albany Ga today. My youngest is tickled with it, and obviously, we will have to lower it in the near future to make it look right. It does have '04 OEM Cobra wheels, which I like much more than the stock Mach 1's. It has a nice radio, cold air intake, and a X pipe with Flowmaster's. Sounds fantastic. In the long run, the car will appreciate if he takes good care of it. The color is a one year only too. Hopefully he gets many good miles and smiles out of it.:seasix:

Those are really neat cars. I worked with a guy that bought one in 2003, and had the opportunity to buy it a number of years ago...I probably should have.
Those motors are significantly different from the standard Ford Modular V8. They are 4 Valve DOHC, versus the 2 Valve SOHC used in the regular GT. Plus I believe they are all aluminum, whereas the GT used a cast iron block and aluminum heads. They have higher compression and I believe the horsepower numbers were actually underated on those. At any rate, that is a REALLY cool car and it is definitely a collectible. Make sure he takes care of that thing, it's a special one! :seasix: Oh, and the interiors are really cool on those. Comfort Weave seats, and retro instrument cluster. COOL! |
Nice first ride. The smile says it all. 😎

You Sir are a great Dad!
This car reminds me very much of the 71 Mach 1 I bought used in 73! :yesnod: |

How bad is the paint? Sometimes doing a correction with a Porter Cable and some good polish can really clean things up. Have the bumpers repainted etc. Is there flaking clear coat or something?
