"2003 Ford Mustang Mach I
""Just in case you haven't taken Ponycar 101, the original Mach 1 was a Mustang performance model introduced in 1969, offered only in fastback bodied form. Most were powered by 351 ""Windsor"" or ""Cleveland"" V8's. The top dog Mach carried a potent 428ci Cobra Jet that was embarrassingly underrated at 335hp. The Mach 1 was just one element of a golden era Mustang lineup that also included the Boss 302 and 429, plus the last of the Shelby GT 350s and 500s. Those, indeed, were the days."" Motor Trend Magazine, January 2003
For consignment a 2003 Ford Mustang Mach I with a title verified 6,522 actual miles, a one owner stock example of Ford's retro tribute to an iconic pony car. We can't say for sure if this is the lowest mileage one around because Mach I owners, and Ford performance enthusiasts in general, treat their cars like a rare jewel and enjoy just enough mileage for a good time while maintaining the satisfaction of keeping the odometer under a certain threshold.
Exterior
The Mach I distinctive black features are muted to a point on a car with a black interior creating a virtual monochromatic wolf in sheep's clothing. Just when you think you've pulled up on your average GT, the shaker hood scoop makes itself known and there's no getting past the 17-inch Heritage wheels, meant to conjure up memories of Magnum 500's from the early Machs, and these ride on their original tires. The hood stripe, rocker stripes, and rear deck spoiler are all satin black, but again, it's tastefully subtle here. Mach I is spelled out on the latch panel between standard tail lights to which our consignor has added sequential signals. (the original harness will come with the car), and dual exhaust fill the gaps provided in the valance. This car has been well preserved and we could not find any exterior imperfections.
Interior
A narrow carpeted kick panels is on the only thing that veers from black plastic on the door panel and they are clean and efficient. Comfort weave pattern is worked into the tuck and roll inserts of the Midnight Black leather bucket seats with lots of side support and a white stripe for a splash of color. Rear 2+2 seats share the color and material with less emphasis on race car like support, but with pull down tabs to extend the trunk, undoubtedly an ode to the fold down capabilities of the classic fastbacks. Up front, a modern steering wheel fronts an instrument cluster with some throwback graphics and a speedometer that climbs to 150 mph and this time, it's all behind one sheet of crystal clear plexiglass. The center console is pedestrian by performance car standards with your basic A/C three knob panel, an AM/FM/CD changer stereo, and some simple black plastic switches. The aluminum finish on the shift knob and boot trim ring are Mach I specific and look fantastic and like new, while cupholders, coin slots, and an armrest storage lid fall behind the shifter. Black carpet covers the floor and a foam backed headliner are both in great shape. The trunk is lined with gray cloth panels and looks virtually untouched.
Drivetrain
Under the hood and topped by the shaker hood scoop is Ford 4.6 liter DOHC 32 valve V8, rated at 305 horsepower and tied to a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual. Those horses are sent rearward where they meet 3.55 gears with TracLoc in a Ford 8.8"" rear differential. Power disc brakes put the reins on the herd with Brembo units up front. The engine bay shows minimal use and could have been in the showroom yesterday.
Undercarriage
Other than typical surface rust on uncoated components and minimal road dust, the underside looks essentially unused. It's all original including the dual exhaust which still wears its OEM mufflers and chrome exhaust tips. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs in back, higher rated than the base GT for better handling.
Drive-Ability
Whether it's a fixed scoop, cowl hood, protruding blower, or shaker scoop, there's something cool about something sticking up in front of you as you roll down the road, or in our case, a test loop. There's obvious power here, great handling, and a familiar Mustang feel, with just a few degrees of added excitement and esthetics. Naturally with so few miles and careful preservation, all features and operations work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
In 2003, Motor Trend was able to tick off a drive to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. Even by today's standards, 22 years later, that's still booking. While it's true Pontiac claimed they built excitement, the same could have been said by Ford, and Ford can still claim it! We're not trying to start a make and model war, but special edition Mustangs hold a beloved place in the hearts of performance loving Americans, and this well preserved 2003 Mach I is ready for its next enthusiast.
