About

This is 'MAC'. This is my second foray into the Blue Oval world. My first was a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente drag car. MAC is my daily driver. I wanted to keep him looking 'factory', but wanted to make sure that he has his own personality. He's got a very distinctive growl. I only have a few more MODS that I'd like to do and he'll be all grown up. Future plans include 17x10.5 Rear Magnums. Steeda Lowering Springs. JLT CAI and Vortech V-2 SQ Supercharger.
