Been thinking about a Mach I for a while & decided to take the plunge!
Of course, it's about 2000 miles from my desert compound near Sin City.
Wasn't up for a cross country fly & drive in a classic without cruise control, so I hired a company to do an appraisal and inspection.
She's healthy and has (according to the inspector) 88,000 original miles.
OK.
Next, I'm hiring a transport company to ship it to me.
Rough estimate? $1250 open trailer and $1500 closed trailer.
Closed trailer it is.
She has the 351 2V.
Wow, has less horsepower than a Hyundai Accent!
(exaggeration, ha ha)
But I have plans, of course!
Plan one, build the 351 that's in her
or
Performance crate motor.
I really like the Coyote.
Updates to the suspension & brakes.
Power goodies like windows & locks.
This is my first stang, so I'll need some guidance.
Pics. Gotta have pics.
