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.

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 eleanor GT500)
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

You can poor all the power you want into a classic but the suspensions are crap, you need to fix that and you good. The car is lighter so it tends to spin the wheels off the line. But if you want an unbiased opinion , a classic always will pick-up the girls, even if your ugly like me ....

haha wow look at some of these uneducated responses.
It's not a clone it's a mach1 with a 302, my dad scrapped the crappy 351 for a built 302 that used to be in my brothers car, he likes the 302 because they are a whole lot snappier so you can STFU fuzzydice, my father knows more than many about those old type of motors, he's had atleast 8 Mach 1's.
And for the tools who said the 351W would beat me, learn something new, I would of either ran with the 351 or beat it(especially a stock one, hell they only have as much HP or less than what I do anyway, and a crappy suspension setup, more weight, so I don't know how it's so godly), my two neighbors have a 71' and 72' mach1 and they aren't any faster, if not slower than my car, those old motors weren't all that great, believe me I've ridden in them, I've seen them, I know the poeple who own them so don't talk sh!t.

well i couldn't get any mach1 pics yet because my dad is out driving it actually but i got some pics just to back up what i said about the 351 vs 302 and just to show that i know what i'm talkin about when it comes to these engines:
thats a sign in the garage, this is why my dad doesn't have a 351 in the mach, they are slugs, which the 351's around here are.
my brothers stock 302 we took out of his 1970 coupe
the 302 that used to be in the mach1 before it dropped a valve
HiPo 289 in my brothers coupe that we took out when his old built up 302 overheated(which now we rebuilt and that is the 302 in my father's mach)
brothers 1970 coupe
and my leaving to go to prom lookin like a tard with the sun shining in my eyes.
I'll get pics of the Mach1 when he get's back home, and the beautiful 5.0 that lies under the hood.
