03-04 Mach's in car shows
I go to several shows a summer around Wis. I have never entered my Mach. I have never seen a newer Mach 1 in a show in my area. I was just wondering if many of you see them in shows?

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Mines been in a few shows around here in Lubbock, never seen another one though. Last time I went I beat out a garage kept shelby that was in perfect condition. (mines a daily driver) They're a popular heritage model and do well in shows. I know they're a crowd pleaser as there usually is more people looking at my Mach then other mustangs in my mustang club when we show them. People know what the v6, gt, and even cobra is, but the mach isn't much known.
short answer.......ENTER THE MACH AND YE SHALL BE REWARDED......

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
I always see a few or more Machs at the Ford shows. I haven't been going to the shows with everything there. At a Stang show most people are aware of the Mach and what it is all about. I even got 2 people last weekend mentioning the "white" mach. They were talking about how it's the rarest! haha! I know someone is going to come and blast me for that. But THEY said it, one of the guys has a DSG that he was selling.
I love to go to shows, you get to see what everyone is doing to the Mach. Everyone has something different on theirs. Excellent place for a newb like me.

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Last summer I entered my black 04 Mach in an all Ford show, took 1st place in the 99 and newer Mustang class. I was up against Saleens, Shelbys, Cobras, tuner GTs and Roushes. I also think alot of people go for the heritage. I have a few added chrome items but not alot, and the stock wheels.

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
You should enter your Mach. The cold weather states don't seem to have as many Mach's as the warm weather states, so people don't see them as much. Even bone stock Mach's can win at car shows.

Not alot of Machs around here, maybe even fewer in your area. Add to that the fact that some of us refuse to do car shows...go ahead and enter yours, couldn't hurt. |

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Not alot of Mach 1's here, but you still cannot beat the rods and classics at our shows in this area, not to mention if its only a top 20 and part. judged...might as well go home early if you are expecting a trophy. Now that being said, I go just to enjoy the cars and car people.

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
I'm not blasting by any means but, although white was the least produced color of machs, the rarest mach would be a competition orange automatic if you go by production numbers. On top of that though, you could go into Roush machs, ect... as the rarest.

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Hi 71, Why do you refuse to do car shows? Just curious. I know I much prefer to go and be a spectator. That's WAY more fun, less stress and less work for me!

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
I've entered in car shows from new, don't care if I win, get to meet people and it gives you a front row parking space. 2006 I won best in class 1st place at Ford NMRA Atco drag way 99 & newer. There were Cobras, GT's, I Shelby 3 Mach1's all toll about 24 Mustangs.
This year I won best in class at Maple Grove drag way out of about 18 cars only 1 Mach1. The outside of my Mach is stock, have some chrome under hood and the normal Billitt stuff inside. Go and have some fun and meet some new people. Bill

When I visit the family, my car is the outcast, too, b/c I'm the only one who has NEVER driven a truck or a minivan. They don't get why I would drive this "little" car with 2 kids. If they can't LOOK at the Mach and figure that one out, then I give up trying to explain. Freakin' Hoosiers!

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
I wasn't trying to claim the rarity prize, I just listed the CO auto because production wise it is the rarest, not just because I drive a CO mach. I have a stick car but wish I would have went the auto route. I'm jealous of your white auto!

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Come on up here. Bring the CO, I'll trade you for a day! And in fairness, at car shows, I've only seen one CO so far, never thought I'd want an orange car. Then I saw one in for myself. I was wrong. I really loved it. I haven't seen a pic of one yet that does justice to it.SWEEEEEET!

Re: 03-04 Mach's in car shows
Went to a few when I first got the Mach, more to meet people and have a good time then anything. Between the lame categories ( like I care about someone's overly blinged engine bay ), and the vast number off azzhats who think they are God's gift to cardom the shows were not fun at all. I honestly wasn't there with any intent to win a trophy....but they were not the least bit enjoyable.
