History repeats itself. Drop the unique Shelby and replace it with a easier to produce quasi performance model.

Now be nice. :)
But consider the '69/'70 Shelby GT350 with it's 351W engine versus the, it was replaced by, '70 or perhaps even more accurate to the statement of replaced by, the larger '71 MACH I with the 351C 4V (we'll leave out the BOSS 351 as I guess it's not technically a MACH I), or how about the '69/'70 GT500 with the 428CJ FE engine versus the '70 MACH I with the same engine and drivetrain or the '71 "Big-Block" MACH I with the 429 CJ/SCJ 385 series engines?
Who.......... performed better? :o

480 HP would have been a crazy number in 1969 and probably nearly impossible to insure. Now its just a fraction of whats available.
"limited edition"........ hilarious.

Not just 480 HP but the technology and ability to enhance even further its performance with a few clicks. Did i mention the superior suspension and tires ?
Just a matter of time before the bean counters take over and recommend not to pay the additonal royalty fees....

They are truly limited editions...limited to the number of cars ordered... ;D
TOB
I'm ordering the blue one, to match my blue 69😁
Not impressed, truly has nothing to make it really stand out and say the Mach 1 has arrived. Reminds me of when they reintroduced the Z-28, just a decal package. No shaker hood ????
I could live without the shaker, but it needs the "Hockey-Stick" stripe! ;)
Scott.
Its not a Mach 1 with out that scoop and yes i know it would be non functional. But the asthetics !

Partialy true , but it' right nobody has to sale his house or cars to get a treatment like in USA. but i don't see any relation between taxe on a car that has a big engine and healthcare ....

My cousin lives in Switzerland, has been there for decades as a successful international law Attorney (i.e. he's paid into the system well!), and has developed multiple sclerosis with perhaps 75+ percent disability in physical motor function, with the "Free Healthcare" system and at age 65 they have "cut-him-off", of services and labeled as not worth the expenditure, shown him the door with a statement of "good-luck"! :o
Welcome to the "REAL" government run "FREE" healthcare system! ::)
But maybe, they'll bury him for free? >:(
Scott.
Unfortunately this is not the first time we hear cut off or not worth the expenditure on older people
Prayers on your situation
On to the MACH 1....no scoops, no sale for me

The Mustang Mach 1 comes in the 5 impressive colors of Oxford White, Fighter Jet Grey, Shadow Black, Twister Orange, and Velocity Blue. The question is which would you choose?
Me none....no scoop...
No red?
Quote from: Side-Oilers on October 24, 2020, 11:24:23 AM
No red?
The car will be available in Fighter Jet Gray—exclusive to the Mach 1, Ford says—as well as seven other shades: silver, black, white, blue, and red, plus Twister Orange and Grabber Yellow.
Starts at $52,915

Ford owns (since mid 1967) every trademark except "Shelby". They can stick Cobra, GT350, GT500, etc on whatever they want with no fee. They licensed Shelby to use the Cobra name on 2 seat cars. When Shelby started building his own cars again (based on the Mustang GT) he just called them Shelby GTs.
Not totally true. If you check the Shelby Licensing site , Shelby Licensing owns Shelby, GT350, GT500, Gt500KR and shares the use of the Cobra name ( Ford on Mustang sedans like SVT used and on roadster Cobras for Shelby). The Shelby GT was used to differentiate from the SVT Mustang Cobra. Ford pays license agreement fees to Shelby Hall Trust under its licensing agreement for the use of Shelby Licensed names. Shelby American also pays fees for those names.. But they Ford and Shelby American do not use the same name at the same time. SA used GT350 2011 through 2014 and then it went to Ford. Ford has GT500 while SA has done GT500KR, Supersnake, etc. SA Shelby Mustangs use "Powered BY Ford" side markers as on their Shelby Mustang models. The Cobra Mustang logos are also different between Ford and SA.
As far as the topic here, I feel Ford bastardized the Mach I name with the release of the Mach E model. 8)
