I don't know guys..... I have a '69 Mach that will get a new stable mate as soon as Ford releases an '09 Mach 1 for me. I think it would be awesome to own the same model - just 40years later. I'm not sure why so many are opposed to it...the 03's/4's won't move down in value just because the new one comes out, and what a great tribute to the original,. Especially since the S197 is based on my body?????? I will even sell my '69 Camaro with a 383 + T56 6-speed to get it!
I do not want them to come out with another one this soon. I bought my 03 Mach 1 knowing it will be a real true collectors car. They should build the Boss 302 again. That is what they should build next.
Next Mach 1 I dunno. Ford insulated the $#!+ out of the 69/70, and added a bunch of weight (think luxury sport)... I know I'm in the grand minority, having a '70, but I'm just a bit biased. My wish list includes some moe badging; old school touches like the chrome letters on the rear deck. Perhaps the satin black trim. I love the new Foose hood that incorporates the 69-70 arrowhead bump in the middle. It fits perfectly. Besides, some sources mention touches of 1970 styling in the 2010 (again, the bias), though I don't see it. I like the idea, however remote, of a big, snarling, air breathing engine, but that's not realistic this day and age. Personally, if you bring back the Boss 302(5.0), call the car as such and drop a stripe down the side. Happy Labor Day Labour Day
I wouldn't mind, but I'd have to sell the '08 Bullitt and get it, and I'm likin' the Bullitt, but for a Mach1, I would sell! The new Mach1 would be sitting in the garage beside my slower '03 because the new one would have the biggest V-8, 4 cam, 32 valve, normally aspirated Engine Ford produces, 6-speed, 4.30 differential, Koni shocks, massive sway bars, chassis stiffening throughout, aluminum drive shaft, throughly lightened bare bones ('00 Cobra R style) . . . . oh well, dream on, I'll take a new version though, as long as it has all the basic Mach1 goodies.
I have a 03 Mach 1, I really do not want a newer one, I would not buy a newer one, I think a 2050 would be about right, come out with a different name car, how long are we going to stay in the past???? Bob in Maine
