Greeting's all !
On Tue. 8-13-13, I purchased a Black 2003 Mach 1. Finally, we are back to a two car family ! I'd been shopping for a car since late January but it takes a while when your particular also, my "must haves" list (V-8, Manual Trans. & RWD) narrows the field considerably.
The "other" car in the fleet is a 91 Camaro RS w/ 305cid A/T which I purchased from its 4' 8" 83 lb. original owner (my mom) before the Camaro she had a black 1979 Trans-Am.
The most interesting cars on my previously owned list are:
- 91 Mustang GT, 5.0, 5spd., black.
- 69 Plymouth GTX Convertible, built 440cid, factory 4spd. 390 posi, fact. tachometer, disc brakes, upgraded interior w/ hi-back bucket seats, 6 way manual drivers seat.
- 69 Ford XL 429cid 4bbl. C-6 trans. & a 275 standard rear axle, talk about a tire cooker, new to cords in under 800 miles.
- 67 Ford Fairlane XL 390cid c-6.
- 72 Dodge Polara Police package, 440 4bbl., 727 A/T, 160m.p.h. "certified" speedo. You just drive a car I drive a pursuit vehicle !
- 66 Chrysler 300, 2dr hardtop, 383 w/ factory 2x4bbl intake off a Desoto "Adventurer". This 18.5ft. long, 3800lb. "sports car" could run away and hide from 3 series BMW's as well as a surprising variety of sporty vehicles (and their surprised drivers).
Will post some pics of my Mach 1 as soon as I have them ! TCA !
