2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Description

This 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a rare offering where Ford re-launched a legendary name in a big way. So while you'll love the awesome color combo and loaded A/C interior, it's really the 32-valve fuel-injected 305 hp V8 that you'll cherish the most.

The color sets a terrific tone for the coupe. It's called Dark Shadows Gray, and so it just sounds like it belongs on a meaner pony car. The finish has a good shine to show off the clean body lines, but it also makes sure to stay a driver's car. After all, this one has averaged about 3,200 miles annually, which is the right balance for a car that you both collect and truly enjoy. And it's worth taking note of this coupe because 2003 was the first year of the special two-year Mach 1 run, and there were less than 1,600 examples produced in this color. Not only are you buying instant rarity with the one, but it also has a striking look. The Mach 1 package is done in black, and so harmonizes with dark gray on the chin spoiler, rocker stripes, hood stripe, and full-width rear spoiler. And even the iconic hood shaker is done in black. This one turns its dark side up a notch with a deep tint on the windows and upgraded 17-inch alloys (the special Mach 1 wheels also come with the sale.) It all makes for an intimidating and well-coordinated total style.

The interior shows off a well-preserved package that's also loaded. It includes the best in modern features, like cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, cup holders, electric rear defrost, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM stereo with built-in CD changer. The leather seats have been recovered. It means you can clearly see the cool connection to the classic Mach 1 cars with the silver accents and comfort weave-style inserts. Yours power adjusts to the ideal driving position. And the leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel gives you an excellent view of another Mach 1 exclusive... the backlit gauges are finished to look like a first-gen Mustang.

The Mach 1 was special for another reason: horsepower. This DOHC 32-valve 4.6-liter V8 was already a special powerhouse, and it was upgraded further right at the factory. This included a twin-bore 57mm throttle body, high-flow heads, a special setup on the camshafts, and a performance exhaust manifold. The result is a 305-horsepower juggernaut. Plus, this one has an upgraded exhaust that give you some extra growl. Ford engineers also took the time to add a host of suspension improvements and stiffen the frame to make this an enhanced driver for the enhanced performance V8. It's an all-around fun driver with power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and the control of a five-speed manual transmission.

Complete with the owner's manual packet, this car has a rare look, aggressive style, performance heart, and a terrific price. So you know you need this Mach 1 in your garage. Call now!
