I raced my dad's 69 mach1 just earlier today, he has a modded 5.0 in the car with a 3speed manual with 3.50 rear gears. We raced from about 0-60 and i had about 1 1/2 cars on him, don't know if i would of pulled or he would have because it was a pretty short race. He spun off the line and i held that distance for most of the time, might of pulled a little, after a couple seconds he pulled in my lane behind me and we were done. I'd just like to have a real race with him to see how I'd do rather than such a short one, but it was pretty cool I guess. Now I'm off to my high school prom[:'(] waste of $150-$200 for four hours...bah.

congrats
you taking the mach to prom?
if so make sure the back seats are properly protected
why would he take the Mach to prom??? He just beat it in a race with his car. plus IMO I like the look of the newer mustangs over the older ones anyday(except for the eleanorGT500)

yeah, its either a clone, or whoever rebuilt it is retarded
they all came with either a 351w, a 351C, or a 428 cobra jet, all three would have wiped the floor with you
the 351 has ALOT more power potential than the 302
and if im not mistaken, all mach 1's were either 4 speeds or c4 autos
and cobrasnake, i hate to disagree with you (well not really, id love to disagree) because the classic mustangs run circles around the late models image wise

Did your dad put the 302 in it. The 69 Mach came with a 351W as the base motor. If he had the 428 CJ you wouldn't have seen anything but taillights.
And even if it was the 351W, he still would have been beaten by everything other than a one arm, one legged poo-slingin monkey.
wait so only redass would loose?
and cobra i ment take it to prom as a nice looking ride.
i know i didnt go to prom looking for a race
so in closing i agree with fuzzy
classic>new image wise
