The 2003 Mach 1 is expected to deliver more than 300 horsepower from its 4.6 litre, 4-valve, DOHC V-8 engine when it goes on sale at the end of this year.
hmmm! Ted, You missed a 2 or pressed 4 instead of 32 or what? Surely someone has seen the inoperability in the engine specs!!
They're CHEAP! Really cheap! My Cobra in Black with Black leather and every Ford option available in the book cost $27,000 as a dealer demo!! Not bad for a 320bhp V8 muscle car.
145 on Cruise control is interesting to say the least, especially when a Florida Excise Border Control car was turning round on the median in front of me! I thought I was going to be meeting Bubba...

FYI, you want to be careful out there. The Florida State Patrol also uses mustangs and I have it on extremely reliable information that they are "not as they were when they left the factory". Couple that with radio, and a certain number of traffic control helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, you're better off setting ye olde cruise control at 75...
Have fun, but be careful...

Go-go, do it, old chap. Get the thing. As an owner of a proper 1960's yankee muscle car I know that the following are very important:
1. Originality. If this is a one-owner example it's very likely to be original and un-molested. As such this will be highly prized by collectors. This is a rare thing in musclecars these days.
2. You are unlikely to find a decent one in the UK without waiting a long time. They rust (unlike a trusty Corvette)
3. If it's what you want then get it!
I'm a Corvette man really but the Boss does have a certain hairy-chested appeal. From memory though I recall that by the time the Mustang had hit the 70's even the powerful examples have their performance seriously blunted by the weight of the thing. Is the BHP quoted gross or net? Many manufacturers quoted gross (i.e. engine without any ancillaries bolted on) so if this is the case you will need to reduce the figure very approximately by 30% to give you a true bhp.
How much are they asking?

Its a great engine I have to say, 100,000 mile major service intervals - which was nice!
Matt.
bloody hell that right 100,000 ? my astra cant even do 10k before having to go back and have somthing fixed
Yep!
I did 13,000 in mine in 7 months and it needed two oil services where they changed the oil and swapped the tyres around, grand total of $74 in servicing!
Amazing really.
