I just picked up my 2004 Oxford White 5 sp Mach 1. Bought the car in South Florida, and brought it home to Canada(newbie) today. I bought it off the second owner, who bought it from the original owner.
Now I noticed it has black valve covers?? I read that Ford made 2 changes in 2004 from 2003 Mach 1's. And one of these changes was the Silver valve covers instead of the black?? I questioned the owner and he swears that the car is all original and stock. The build date is 01/04? Early build. Could it be possible that this car has an 2003 motor in it, or they put black valve covers instead of silver.
Now I did notice that the hood hinge nuts have had a wrench on them, and one bolt is not a factory bolt. Everything under the hood appears to be the 32 valve all aluminum power house.
