Vehicle Description
There's something to be said for owning a classic car that you can
enjoy daily if you so choose. And as we see a younger generation
start to show interest in the muscle and pony cars of old, here at
DC Classic Cars East we have started to notice a trend from buyers
of both young and old. Lately, an increasing number of buyers are
specifically hunting a great looking car that is a blast to drive,
has plenty of power on tap, and has a timeless look. They don't
want a trailer queen, they aren't concerned with numbers matching,
and more often than not, the importance isn't necessarily present
or future collectability, but instead only one thing matters... How
does it drive?! Which brings us to this extremely well done 1969
Ford Mustang Mach 1.
This Mustang is a fully-sorted weekend cruiser that is perfect to
show off at the local cruise in or car show, but trust us you wont
want to leave it parked there for long. 5-minutes behind the wheel,
and you'll appreciate this car on a whole new level. Originally
leaving the factory as a Meadowlark Yellow fastback, today it has
been restored with an incredible color combination of Candy Apple
Red and a gorgeous gold vinyl interior. But the restoration
includes well more than just a color change.. Trust us, after one
look underneath or one spin around the block, you won't even give
the word "original" a second thought!
Pop open the hood and you'll find a fully detailed engine bay that
houses a 351 Windsor that has been outfitted with a 4-bbl Edelbrock
carburetor, Edelbrock performer intake and Ford cobra valve covers.
The engine also has more tasteful upgrades like the Electric
thermostat controlled fan, Mallory Pro spark plug wires, power
steering and 4-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes that help ensure its
ready for a simple 10-minute drive up the block or a 250 mile drive
to a show.
Inside you'll find a very clean and crisp new gold interior that
looks like no one has ever sat in the car. We're not kidding, the
interior looks as if no one has put any miles on it. The floor
shifter looks brand new, all the gauges work as they should,
headliner is in amazing shape, someone took their time making this
interior and it shows!
Underneath you'll find a brand new floor has been put in and done
right! There's no ugly patches under here, this floor was
professionally removed and then professionally welded in from the
firewall back. Under here you'll also see the Ford 9" Rear End with
a highway friendly rear gear stuffed in it, dual exhausts outfitted
with Flowmaster Mufflers and new shocks at all four corners. Power
is put to the pavement thanks to 17" Bullet style rims that have
been wrapped with 235/ZR17's on the front and 245/ZR17's on the
rear.
If you are in the market for an incredible pony car that is certain
to become the envy of everyone you know, then this is it! We've
seen a lot of mustangs come through here in various stages of
condition, but if you are hunting a toy you can enjoy and actually
put on the street, but don't want to shell out $80-$100k for a
trailer queen, then you would be hardpressed to find a nicer
Mustang than this!
