What Machs?

[azdude]

I don't look like one, but look under the hood and there is an 03 Mach

does that count?

[BurnTire]

Yep.

Naaaaaaaaaaa...........you got to have the "R" in the vin #.

Do you know where the motor came from? I only know of a couple Mach's that have been totaled around the state. One was a '03 Dark Shadow Grey, that was bought used by a High School Senior in north Scottsdale, who had it about 3-4 weeks, before wrapping it around a light pole. Too much Car, for not much driving experience.

Actually Chris, a '69 Mach with a 351 2bbl carb Windsor would have an "H" engine code, the 351 4bbl carb Windsor an "M" engine code.

The "R" engine code was the original designation for 428 Cobra Jet Cars. When Ford brought back the Mach 1 for the 2003 model year, they revived the "R" code for the 4.6L DOHC Mach motor.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...........I think I have an insight into why my dating life sucks!!!!!

Chris, are you still taking the Mach up to Flag next weekend?

Still planning on it. Ok... granted my engine code is an "M" but there still is an "R" Assembly Plant code "San Jose" in my VIN!

Machs are taking over LOL

The Machs may be taking over on this site......but not on the track

[azdude]

Ok so i don't have the R on my VIN but I have a 35th anniversary badge!

My Motor didn't come from Arizona, it came from Northern California.

I think we should collaborate on an artical for the Mirror on decoding Vin #'s and data plates. With the MCA show comming next year, it would give people an insight into what their Car started out like.
