Why doesnt slapping some stickers on make it a Mach one? In 1969 the Standard and common Mach one engien was a 250 HP 351 Windsor. I believe in 1970 the base engine was a anemic 302.

It was mostly just an apperance package then. The thing every one remembers and thinks of when some one mentions MACH 1 is the 428 Record breaking Mach one of 1969. Few were that.

The new package seems to be more performance oriented than the original Mach Series.

At least Ford gives the buyer alot more options. You have The Roush, the Bullit, the Saleen, The GT, stantard 6 cyl, 6 cyl Roush, the Cobra, and hopefully the Mach 1.

Lets see, GM has standard 6 banger, RS, Z28, and SS.

People say "Oh wow look, another special ed. Mustang. There all the same." How many of the above vehicles are actually the same. They all have diffrent engine outputs, and diffrent tunes, diffrent apperances, diffrent interior (well sorta).

I'd be happy with a rockin 281 4V. If Ford says they'll actually make the Mach 1, I'll put my name on the list that day.
