    Back in the Mustang Game!

    SmokinStangs - Mustang Forum! The home of the SmokinStangs Laconia - Mustang Rally
    Wellllp. I sold my foxbody over a year ago. My restoration threads for it are still on here I believe. I bought a SRT for awhile, did some racing, wasn't satisfied, was a good daily driver though.

    One day I was on my way to work when I road past South Street Auto.. and saw a white Mach 1 that looked in good shape. Came back later that night and found out it only had 5,500 miles on it. Bought it 2 days later Dont plan on driving it too much, preserving the miles and condition the best I can, since I have a toyota for a daily driver.

    Put 1000 miles on it, now it's time for some mods. Starting with a OffRoad MagnaFlow Tru X-pipe, SLP LM1 catback, MIL eliminators, and C&L intake.

    Anyone have any recommendations for tuners?

    3rd car - 1992 5.0 GT hatch, trickflow top end, F303 Cam, 4:10 gears, KC clutch, TrickFlow 170Cc heads

    Beautiful find! You'll have fun.

    If you're talking about hand-held tuners, the best is always the brand/type supported by your local Dyno tune outfit. The "canned" tunes are usually pretty ineffective -- nothing beats a real dyno tune.

    Nice looking Mach1. Why did you sell the Fox body? That was such a clean looking car.

    5500 miles and just sitting on a dealer lot? Holy crap....you are lucky.

    What did ya pay for it if you don't mind? I am curious what a mint condition, used Mach 1 goes for these days........

    Thanks all!

    Answers to questions:

    I sold my foxbody because I was 17 and my job at the time was too inefficient to be to able to pay for 2 cars, seeing as my foxbody was not well enough on gas to daily drive.... so I sold it, which was a decision I regret, but it's the old saying you never know what you have until it's gone.

    I bought the Mach for a little over 20k after taxes tags and title. To me that seemed about a 1000 to high... but it was mint, and unmodified with floormats still in plastic packaging and the original window sticker laminated with an MSRP of $29,670. So I went for it..

    BUT, me and my father built this one right after I sold mine, still have it, and I now run a Automotive window tinting and detailing facility, so I can afford what I have.

    Haha, we do not find them, we build them. This one we only payed $1500 for, came with some good parts too, the guy had to get rid of it. It was a budget build done in our garage over the course of 6 months. The only thing we didn't do is the paint, we had a trusted shop do that.

    The fox has Trickflow track heat upper/lower intake. 302 bored to a 306, notched pistons, F303 camshaft, trickflow twisted wedge 170Cc heads, 24lb. injectors, 255LPH Fuel pump, BBK ram air, Full exhaust, 4:10 gears, King Cobra Clutch. I expect low 12's, but have not ran it yet.
