Well the Mach 1 sticker is correct and original, but not those stripes. Someone did a little customizing on the appearance of the car.


That is an insult to the word 'customising'. ;)

Worse than stickers. He used black masking tape and did a really bad job of spray painting stripes on. It looks like he ran out of paint too. It's pretty bad when you don't even peel the tape off.

Interesting find, though. I've only heard of a handful and seen a few, this one included. Same colour and plaques.

That car is seriously rough! :hick:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
