Mach 1 wrecks....OUCH!!

[JDraper]

This one was an unmarked cruiser..

Was that one in AZ??? We had a black Mach 1 "under cover" car around here.

 

[JDraper]

Nope, that one was out of Talahassee, FL.

Comp Orange Mach bit the dust this time...

Just came across this thread, and when I saw this pic I thought, that picture looks familiar! It was purchased by a friend to part out. (for like $3500) I have a few bits and pieces of it in my 87 Mustang. He still has the hood (pieces) and shaker for sale. He was going to custom make a hood for his Grabber Blue Thunderbird.

Sad to see all the damaged Machs.

Wow, what a horrible thread. lol

I've always loved Mustangs, and I miss mine dearly. My first car was a '95 Mustang, and that poor thing was wrecked so many times we lost count (it was my older brother's before he passed it on to me). I finally put it out of its misery when I ran a red-light and t-boned a local police car (lonnggggg story). The resulting insurance money allowed me to buy my current Explorer, a 1997 with 60k miles. It actually worked out, because the mustang had well over 150k miles, but the rebuilt motor had around 50k. So I actually upgraded to a better car with less original miles and two years newer.
I plan on buying a new Mustang, this time GT, when I graduate from college.

I will attempt to attach some pictures, even though they don't technically follow the thread:

Note how badly the frame is bent.

Oh and JDraper, you spelled Tallahassee wrong.
GO NOLES!

Sad, Sad stories here. My buddy drove one of those blue mach 1's, till he was rear-ended by some drunk in a pickup. The trunk and backseat became one with the bumper, buddy was fine but Mach was totalled. Was a beautiful car.

Mach 1 + black ice =

Driver and passenger walked away with minor bruising. These cars are TOUGH!!

Quote from owner

Highway 431 (Huntsville, AL) running about 60......all of a sudden the rear end cut loose.......hit a sign, then a tree and rock head on at the same time which flipped the car.

Thank goodness for the airbags & seat belts. We only got some bruises & a few cuts.

 

[JDraper]

[vroomzoomboom]
