Title: wrecked 04 Mach 1....worth parting out? D.U.W.
Post by: 32VFoxBird on February 21, 2008, 09:36:58 AM
he's asking $4k for it. 65,000 miles and motor/trans are supposed to be good. i was going to go take a look at it, and see if the motor cranks over.

Do it! The seats, gauges, center stack trim, spoiler, and taillights are all easy sales. Plus the rear-end, exhaust, rear bumper, brakes, etc, etc...

You won't make $4K, but in between selling off whatever mod motor you have now and parting the rest of that car out you'd have a pretty "affordable" Mach 1 drivetrain for swapping.

you dont think i would get $4,000 for motor, trans, and rearend?

I thought you were KEEPING the motor! :hick:

You'd definitely get more then $4000 for everything.

Don't forget the C-pillars/glass are worth big $$$, and the side scoops too. The engine/trans/wiring as a unit will fetch from $2000-$4000 on evilbay depending on mileage and whether or not it runs.

The front suspension/brakes and rear-end/brakes will also bring good $$$.

It's not IRS is it?

I don't see how the engine could be undamaged.

Manual trans = forged crank.

That'll cost you a pretty penny to get from a recycler. Take a look at car-part.com if you don't believe me.

Mach 1 <> IRS
Cobra = IRS

ok, you started it! :evilgrin:

i want the lower air dam. what i can see of it in the pic looks undamaged even though the bumper cover is split.

for $4k, if you can front the money, id say you will make a profit on the deal.

It fits perfect on a Crown Vic nose as well ;)

I'd be interested in the motor/trans, but I'm spending my money on college :(

Might be seriously interested in the brakes though...

Post by: shame302 on February 21, 2008, 05:30:46 PM
i would have to call DIBS on the seats and possibly some odds and ends. spoiler maybe. possibly the upper shaker if its not fubar. it looks okay. 3rd brake light. rear quarter glass. take a look at that exhaust under that thing as i could be interested as well as any other mods.... if you have the cash you would be nuts not to buy it. id offer 3500 and go from there. id kill for a deal like that. id scoop that up andswap everything into an 88 sport with a tcoupe nose.

I would love to see that chin spoiler on our cars...anyone have a pic or a photoshop to see what it would look like.

4K is a good price...might even worth putting it back together and make a profit.....or just part it out.

i went to look at the car today. it has a borla catback, k&n replacement filter, and a MGW shifter.

im picking it up tonight, when my friend's available with his trailer. only things i plan on keeping are the fubarred hood and scoop for the thunderbird. everything, and i mean EVERYTHING else will be parted out. lots of good parts on this car.

Post by: 32VFoxBird on February 23, 2008, 12:00:50 AM
it's here! :shakeass:

the hood was trashed, so i cut out the center section, and hope to glass it onto my stock and use the shaker scoop. oughtta look pretty cool.

When you get to the suspension/brakes, shoot me an email/PM, seriously. When you come up with a price for the engine/trans/wiring, let me know also. Probably out of my field, but I do know several Crown Vic guys with money to burn, I can help spread the word.
Title: wrecked 04 Mach 1....worth parting out? D.U.W.
Post by: 32VFoxBird on February 23, 2008, 10:28:07 AM
im thinking $5200 for motor/ trans w MGW shifter/ wiring/ computer. $700 for complete brakes w/ spindles. $900 for front and rear seats. these are just asking prices. it'll be another week before i can sawzaw my way to the motor and get it out.

i have a guy coming by tomorrow that may buy the springs, struts, and shocks. ill let you know if it falls through. i would imagine shipping is gonna be kinda high, due to the weight.

Awesome score !! I see a LOT of cars at the boneyards around here,but never anything that I'd call THAT significant.Sweet find.I just bought a Mach 1 chin spoiler (NIB Genuine Ford part) from Ebay for $99.00.Anyway,that was for the guys wanting a spoiler.Are you selling the shifter handle seperately/I could use that.

This is quite possibly a really stupid question, but is the center section of that rear end aluminum? And if so, when did Ford start doing that?!?

...Also, did the guy buy the springs?
