SA69mach 39 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Nice! 69 Machs always look great wearing Magnums. It just looks right to me. I like that color on your car. Nice car. I have a dark color too, Black Jade and I see you also have the black side stripes. I am thinking of putting the gold stripes on, for a bit more contrast. The black stripes kind of disappear in the dark paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoover 12 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Looks great. Magnum 500s were used back in the day, and they still look sharp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
po51 21 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 They look great! Did you go with 14 or 15 inch rims? What tire size are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Mach 1 51 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks people! I would love to see a pic of your black jade ride Super Stanger - and I agree that the gold stripe kit would look awesome. I have 14 x 7s all around with 235x60R14 on the fronts and 245x60R14 on the back. But I'm thinking I might go with 15x8s with maybe MT Drag Street radials on the rears which might give it a nice look and a little more traction.

Dave R. 85 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Can't go wrong with Magnums. Great looking ride. Are you running the stock suspension? Any rubbing issues? I am trying to decide on a tire/wheel combo myself. Dave R. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Mach 1 51 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks a lot guys! You guys have some Great Rides WOW!! Yeah I LOVE the look of Magnums - always have! Hi Dave, no rubbing issues at all and I'm running with a stock suspension. The color Is Maroon with a Maroon interior.Kinda rare by what I've been told. Ford calls it "vermillion"...lol.

SA69mach 39 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 This is my Black Jade 69, with oem 14 inch magnums. 14 x 6 I believe. Only little 205 BFG's. On my 70 I have two sets of wheels, and I have no problem fitting 275/60/15 BFG's under the rear. They fit within the wheel arch, no rubbing. stock springs. I am sure you can fit larger than 245. 255 is a nice size, and no issues on a 69 or 70 for room 1 My Mach 1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

machm1970 180 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 You can never go wrong with Magnums, I'm debating between them and the polished torque thrusts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 Magnum 500's are always nice on these cars. I wished there was an aluminum Magnum 500 wheel that actually looked correct. For a steel wheel I actually prefer the chrome Styled Steel Wheels which were originally on Mach 1's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Power 74 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks a lot guys! You guys have some Great Rides WOW!! Yeah I LOVE the look of Magnums - always have! Hi Dave, no rubbing issues at all and I'm running with a stock suspension. The color Is Maroon with a Maroon interior.Kinda rare by what I've been told. Ford calls it "vermillion"...lol. Vermillion was used strangely by Ford. In 69, the interiors were just called "red", near as I can tell. I don't see the term Vermillion used for 69s often. In 1970, Vermillion and Calypso Coral were used somewhat interchangably, from what the charts look like, vermillion being an orange red. My 70 Grande is a Calypso Coral car with e Vermillion interior. It didn't lessen the confusion any when they would give different names to the same color after a model year change, or they would give Mercury different names.

10yearsgone 15 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 Magnum 500's are always nice on these cars. I wished there was an aluminum Magnum 500 wheel that actually looked correct. For a steel wheel I actually prefer the chrome Styled Steel Wheels which were originally on Mach 1's. What do you mean by looking correct? What is off on them? I saw a set of dynacorns on CJ. I bought chrome ones made by Vintage Wheels and they rusted badly within 3 years while sitting in the garage (of course they wouldn't warranty) so aluminum really interests me.

Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 Car looks great! I personally can't wait to put my 17" Aluminum AR500's on this spring, best of old and new IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gomach1 12 Report post Posted March 4, 2015 I agree Magnums are the way to go, mine are off of 72 Torino that I got some time in the mid 80's (all five for $100). 14x7, 225 60s upfront, 245 60s out back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
