Your sig doesn't show what you're running. What's hiding under the hood of your hot rod?

Yeah, it makes you wonder why f*rd called it a mach 1. I don't think they were a real powerhouse, and not much to look at as I remember.Good for you on dusting off a f*rd though.

i had the same thing happen. when i raced a mustang he stalled. only thing i can think of,was that the chevy thunder sucked all the extra oxygen out of the air,and it made him choke

Maybe it was a 200 in-line six with Mach 1 badging. Kind of like what the young'ns do to their ricers with fart pipes, wings and decals. I've spanked a bunch of these along with many, many trucks in my 70 Mach. But then, it is a true Mach 1 plus a little.
