Vehicle Description
Here's a chance to get behind the wheel of a coveted
first-generation Mustang at a good price. This 1969 Ford Mustang is
decked out in a great, period-appropriate color scheme and runs
with the confidence-inspiring smoothness you'd want in a frequent
driver that stands ready, willing and able to get you where you
want to go while injecting some vintage mojo into your everyday
routine.
With its Wimbledon white exterior ornamented by a broad swath of
matte black across the scooped hood and a pair of reflective
C-stripes providing extra flash along its sides, this Pony
epitomizes late '60s style and carries a nice shine. It also
represents an important chapter in the Mustang's evolution - in
terms of size, it's a sort of a middle ground between the more
compact models that came before it, and the markedly larger
versions that would follow soon after. Take a look from up front
and you'll see that the quad headlamps look great contrasted with
the black grille sitting at the center. Take a lap around the car
and you'll find that the glass remains nice and clear on all four
sides and both bumpers are looking clean and show no obvious dings
or corrosion. In spite of the nearly 50 years of service this
muscle car has seen, those bumpers also still sit impressively
level, as does the body itself - in contrast to so many cars of the
era that seem to be ambling down the road at an angle - and they're
still another element that add to this Mustang's road-ready
vibe.
A refurbished interior - with burgundy seating and door panels that
look great against the black of the dash area and center console -
awaits you inside. The seating looks especially sharp. Those
high-backed buckets up front don't show any telltale creases on
their bolsters and the bench seat in back looks to have seen very
little use. The carpeting that runs underneath reflects the same
condition - no heel marks or stains to be found. Ford went to a
more futuristic, double cove dash configuration in '69 and the one
here is a nice specimen of the updated design, with its group of
oval-shaped gauges in the instrument cluster still readable, and a
straight-looking, untorn dash pad sitting above. The optional
center console adds a finished look to the interior, as well as
offering some additional storage space. A retro-style
AM/FM/cassette system sits in the center, just below a pair of
vents signaling that this Mustang also comes equipped with air
conditioning. The trunk area is nice and tidy, with clean fabric
covering the floor and its full-size spare.
Raise the hood and you'll likely be impressed with the condition of
the engine bay. From its walls to the components inside, everything
appears stock, yet looks fresh and clean. The blue surfaces of the
302 cubic inch V8 carry a shine that's appropriate for such a
strong-running engine, and the factory-correct decal on the air
cleaner appears to have been recently applied. The Ford small block
teams up with a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission and power
steering to make driving this classic Mustang a low-effort
proposition. Just in front of it, the radiator looks to have
recently been detailed and even the shock tower braces, entrusted
with adding rigidity to the front end, are shiny and grime-free.
This first-generation Mustang sits on a set of 14" stock Ford steel
wheels, outfitted with Firestone Wide Oval tires.
