Life Long Love Affair with the 69 Mach I
#1
Heart 
Well for never owning one... this has been one of my most favorite cars and memories in my lifetime :)

When I just about 10 years old my soon to be uncle took me for a ride one day in his 69 Mach 1 late at night, on a long stretch of a country highway in my hometown, and we started down the road and we were going really fast and he seen that I was checking out the speedometer and he said to me, pretty fast HUH? (120 mph) and before I could say yeah....

He punched the gas and laid my head back against the bucket seat, and I could not move until he let his foot of the gas!!! That is the fastest I ever went in my whole life, over 180... Wow!

Needless to say that day is the day the love affair began, and to this day this is still my DREAM car and I will own IT one day!!

Welcome Bill,

Thank would definitely leave a lasting impression on anyone. I used to put a $5 on the dash of my 351 C 4V 1970 Torino and tell anyone if they could grab it between first and second it was theres. Never lost my $5!
