Just Bought an 03 Mach 1

[uncltrvlnmatt]

This is my doner car, what a piece of shit. I love it! The car was rolled so there are not to many good body parts, pretty much just the hood and rear bumper cover. But the intirior and drive train are in great shape. The car has 38k on the clock, and appears to be pretty much stock. We ran the car for about 20 minutes. It idled fine, no misses or sputters, and reved nice and smooth.

I was interested originally in a 01 Cobra with 30k on the clock, but it would run smooth, then out of nowhere it would sputter, miss, and pop through the exhaust. Then it would be nice and smooth again. We also looked at an 04 Mach 1 with 12k on the clock that was also rolled. It ran great and already had long tubes on it, but when I check the oil before we started it, it was not on the stick.

He wanted $7,500 for the 04 Mach1, $6,100 for the 01 Cobra, and we paid $6,000 for the 03 Mach 1.

Now i just need to get it home. I will take better pics after I get this piece of crap home. This is going to be funtastic!

Sweet Matt, your cars gonna be one baddass ride when its finished

 

[realitygt]

that's sexy, and it's gonna be fun as hell to build up on another car. That's still a little expensive for what I would pay for it. But where did you find it? like how do you find these places with wrecked cars for sale still? most just go to junkyard and are picked thru

is it a manual so its got the good internals?? your just using the drivetrain for your 66 right....or was it a 67? to bad i like the mach 1 sail panels on the 03/04's they cut down very sharply and look great but the passenger side one has seen better days

are you keeping the interior? I would have loved to buy the shaker hood and shaker if I hadnt just installed the 2kr

I bought this a Bill Fox Auto Sales. http://www.billfoxsautosales.com/ He buys junk cars at auction and rebuilds them, or sells them for parts cars. He is in Dover Pa.

I found him by word of mouth. I stopped to look at a Maverick Grabber for sale. BSing with the seller my project came up. He told me to check out this bone yard in Lower Saucon Pa. I went there and they turned me onto this guy.

6k may seem like alot, but it is the going rate. This guy sells junk 03/04 Cobra's for $12,500. 03/04 drive line alone go fo 10k. I also found a place near Atlanta Ga. that does the same thing, and his prices were about the same.

I love what you're doing with your cars! putting the mach1 motor in the 66 coupe. Of course I just love projects in general

I will be selling everything I don't use. Unfortunately due to my budget I may not be installing the Eaton. When all of the parts I bought get in, I am going to do an inventory to see what I still need. That will determine what I do. If I don't install the Eaton I will be using the shaker.

I need the little rubber insert inside the larger cupholder in the center console.

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

When I bring the car home I will check and see if it is there.

Yes it is a 5 speed. Yes it is going in my 66 coup. The whole extirior of the car is pretty much junk. The only thing that I saw that was any good was the hood, maybe the deck lid and rear bumper cover. Most of the glass is broken, the roof is caved in, both doors are beat up, the wing has a broken tip, and the fenders are junk.

Awesome deal on the motor/tranny. Best N/A 4v motor by far. How's the seats? I've been looking to upgrade my seats to mach/bullitt/cobra if the right deal comes along.
