Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
I just rolled over 51K this week, bought her april 2011 with 30K on her. She treats me good, and to reward her I buy her pretty things and go fast things.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
100,000 yesterday! I've tried not to drive the Mach so much, but I just don't want to drive any of the other cars.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
Just broke 100k a few weeks ago. I've replaced a the normal wear and tear items (brakes, clutch disc, throw out bearing), had the 3rd gear synchro replaced under warranty. My biggest issue has been the **** clutch cable. I had to replace the stock quadrant with an adjustable one, and it was all downhill from there. Chewed up 3 cables in 75k miles... Latest one left me rolling in first gear on the 121 tollway in Dallas.
Now I'm down to a few creature comforts, like replacing some plastic pieces (L/R mirror selector popped off, L/R dashpad A/C diffusers broken loose, IUP pedals wearing out, front seats showing wear). She still purrs like brand new and I still get taunts by fellow Stangs as well as newer Chevys and Mopars! All in all, the first car I ever bought and I can't imagine ever letting her go! Would love to get into a Gotta Have it Green '13 Boss, but definitely not trading in my baby!

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
they (ford) charged me $9000.00. I got a remanufactured long block. Seems there was a misfire and compression was low in cylinder 6. they found bent teeth on the pressure plate, and the ABS light was on for a few months so I had that done.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
83k miles and needs a new shortblock. Was backing it out of the driveway one day and heard a ticking, which turned into a knocking. Never drove it exceptionally hard or anything, just started one day....guess I got the token Mach motor. anyone want to try to convince me these are super strong engines can come pay my $5000 repair bill, guess the CAI was too much for it to handle LMFAO

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
just under 100,000 miles car was driven under 3500-4000 rpm 90% of the time (my father was the first owner) with the exeption of my dumb *** getting my hands on it and beating it to hell when I was younger back in 03, in that 90+k miles it needed 2 clutches, one after a night of stupid hard driving when I was younger, the second just went with my father driving it easy. the AC crapped out I thought it had to be charged but it just crapped out, 3rd gear started to go(this is all after it sat from 2004 -2012 car started right up after sitting nearly 10 years just needed a few bottles of fuel injector additive to pass emmisions then my ex drove it wasted not knowing how to drive stick and punctured the radiator and drove it home 10 miles in 1st gear at the redline so that was the end of the engine got it rebuilt by a speedshop hopefully a get 200,000 out of it now .

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
Turned 80k miles on mine just before it went down for a huge build. Motor has been in and out of this car alot tho and hasnt been factory since probly 20k miles or less lol. Has seen turbo, nitrous and supercharged.
Stock trans is still going strong and so is the stock rearend. The interior is basically all stock with just an a pillar boost gauge. Everything works like a charm and has never had an issue. My interior is 9/10 too. Ive also had the same spec stage 3 clutch in it since somewhere around 30k miles and that thing is still grabby as ever. I have a fiore firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant. I just replaced the stock clutch cable about 8k miles ago because the original one snapped. New motor will be completely badass. Basically the best 4.6 build (even tho its more like a 4.8 or 4.9 liter lol) money can buy with all kinds of goodies and supporting mods. Gonna rock a posi race ported eaton completely decked out. Shooting for over 600 to the tires eaton only with no nitrous which, to my knowledge, would be the most powerful eaton only car ever.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
About to put at Vortech on at 110,000 miles. No issues at all with the motor, a lot of problems with everything else. Especially the transmission.
