My Mach One - well, it USED to be mine!I have always wanted a Fastback and the 69 or 70 was what I really, really wanted. Well, in July, 2000, I finally got a hold of a 69 Mach 1. It was an M code (351W 4v) 4 speed car and, while it wasn't the prettiest, it was a MANLY car!! I drove it for a little over a year and we quickly coined the phrase "The Mach One Effect." It really has some torque and is LOUD! I loved it! Alas, after painting my coupe and getting out for some Open Track, I realized that I would never be able to support two Mustangs (in terms of time that I have to work on them). I casually mentioned this to my Brother In Law and Best Friend, David, and he said "I might be interested!" in a tone of voice that made me go "Uh oh!" Well, if anyone was going to get that car it was going to be him and, in 2002 he became a Muscle Car Fiend once again! He is a phenomenon when it comes to cars (did I mention, he's a Ford Technician?). He has that Beast running VERY well and will be joining the BCG Racing Team before too long and I am looking forward to waving him by on a regular basis! At Mini-Nats XX, he got his first sessions behind the wheel and really had a great time (not to mention he makes just about everyone else in Yellow Group look bad!). Here's a shot of him after his first session (I think he was making an Ooo-Oooo noise!)...
