    I was just wondering if anyone knows production numbers for the "Mach 1" vs. the "Cobra II"? What I mean is, Is the 75 Mach 1 more rare than a 76 Cobra II and so on? or did ford put out an equal / near equal amount of both?

    I don't remember the production numbers, but I know there were less Mach's produced then cobra's. The actual numbers are in a book I have at home, I'll try and find it tonight.

    This link should provide all the info you seek :nice:

    To answer your question though, there were twice as many Mach 1's made as Cobra II's overall. During the 3 years of Cobra production however, the Mach 1's became pretty rare. Replaced might be a better word.

    For example, a 1977 Mach 1 is 2nd only to the King Cobras as far as limited production numbers go.

    To furthur complicate things, you coud have a Mach 1 Cobra!!!! (looks like a Cobra but has the Mach 1 performance option).

    My Cobra doesn;t have a bucktag, and I thought about painting it to look like a Mach 1. I see Cobra II's every so often but I haven;t seen a Mach 1 of that era for a LONG time

    That is sort of in the plans for my Mach :nice: I always thought the hatches look like they are missing something without the real spoiler. Come paint time- I have the rear and front spoiler to put on, still undecided on a hood scoop, (I could use a little extra clearance for the air cleaner as the hodd closes almost right on top of it), but I'm going to keep the Mach paint/lower body6 stripe, and lettering, not add another Cobra "clone"
