Vehicle Description
The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is one of the baddest-looking street
machines of all times. But finding one this unique is the true
treasure. The original 390 V8 is still under the hood, but it's
been rebuilt with sturdy and speedy components. And they made
plenty of other great investments all around the car - from the A/C
interior to the shimmering paint.
We know you love the color on this coupe. It's called Stratto Blue.
It looks akin to 1969's Acapulco Blue, except there's an undeniable
radiance that comes from the modern color. There was nearly $8k
invested in the paint alone, and the restoration photo book will
show you it has been a long journey to the deep blue ocean you see
today. They really took time and care in this restoration, and
that's why the panels are so straight and the bumpers shine like
mirrors. And of course, they took the time to get the sporty
details right. The hood alone is a great aggressive piece with its
large scoop and full blacked-out treatment. Then, add in more
features such as the fastback profile, side stripes, and
full-length rear spoiler - this is a full intimidation package
right down to the shining GT wheels.
Ford was going upmarket with the Mustang at this time, and a great
way to showcase that is with a pristine white interior. It's an
ideal pairing where the light-colored vinyl cleans up in a snap,
and the black carpeting hides any dusty shoes that might enter. The
woodgrained steering wheel matches the paneling on the dash,
console, and doors, which all adds to the upscale ambiance of the
Mach 1. In total, you'll love the investment that was made in this
coupe, because it looks like a time machine taking you back to 1969
with all the correct details. Even the AM/FM stereo is still
cranking out tunes! In fact, the most noticeable modern upgrade is
one that you don't see, but instead you feel it. The restoration
included the addition of a modern R134a air conditioning system.
And you might have noticed the well-placed addition of a tach on
the steering column, which is an indicator that you'll love what's
under the hood.
This S-code Mustang left the New Jersey factory with a 390
cubic-inch V8, so it's great to have the date code correct block
still under the hood. But one look at this tidy and shining setup
will tell you that there was plenty left in the restoration budget
for upgrading. The motor has been enhanced and fortified, and it
includes the block was machined .03, the crank was machined .01,
and new 30mm oversized pistons were added. The head was milled
before adding new valves, springs, and lifters. It features a
Howards camshaft, Clevite bearings, and Protronix II electronic
ignition. The consignor went to extra lengths with some original
components - including stating the original water pump was rebuilt,
original exhaust manifolds were re-coated, and the original
radiator has a new core. This V8 is topped with an Edelbrock intake
and a large Holley 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor. So it makes
plenty of power while also giving a sweet tune to the H-pipe dual
exhaust. But don't just listen to the rumble; check out its path in
the undercarriage photos. There you'll see more evidence of a fresh
restoration were no expense was spared. The three-speed automatic
transmission is believed to be original, and it was rebuilt to
ensure crisp shifting. Plus, with power steering and power brakes
w/discs up front, it's easy to show off this stunning Mach 1
everywhere.
This is car has so much originality and investment that you'll be
glad the sale also comes with build receipts, restoration photos,
maintenance records, and the Marti Report. This is the Mach 1
you've been waiting for, so don't let it slip away. Call
