2021 Mach 1

[FL SAAC]

Maybe replacing Bullitt Mustang with Mach 1 460 H.P. 6 speed

The legendary Ford Mustang Mach 1 could make its comeback!

Interesting, as there have been rumors that Ford would bring back the Mach 1 for years.

Kind of makes sense, in a marketing perspective, bringing it back to shore up the name-credibility of the Mach E. 

Especially because most (all?) of the Mach E's intended buyers weren't born when the original Mach 1 hit dealers.  They may have no idea there was ever a car called Mach 1.

Everyone needs a Mach1.
Make mine a 2003/2004 DSG

Ford would love to stop paying the McQueen family for each Bullitt Mustang they build.

I'd say they probably wasn't born even if you added 20 yrs to that (1989)

I think I'll keep my PP2

Does Ford pay McQueen's relatives, or does Ford pay Warner Bros?   Doesn't Warner still own the rights to the film?

Ford would love to stop paying royalties for the usage of Shelby

I believe they still pay Warner Bros. I recall seeing something on the paperwork (owners manual?) for my 2009 Bullitt. Don't have time to look for it now, but maybe tomorrow.

Looks like Warner Bros has the copyright and trademark for the name Bullitt so they would likely be getting $omething from Ford to use the name.
