Vehicle Description
1969 Ford Mustang Coupe
Ads appearing in Magazines in 1969 stated "Somebody finally built a
better Mustang...We did" meaning for the past 4 years the Mustang
has been the bestselling car out there, and finally Ford outdid
themselves with the newly designed Mustang for 1969. Clever!
For consignment a first year of the second generation of the
Mustang all wrapped up in Candy Apple Red, and fully restored.
Neat-o two tone aftermarket seats, and an added center console, and
an original snappy 351ci Windsor V8. Mustang was now coming into
its own with more power and now even greater looks.
Exterior
Bathed in a very good paint job, miles deep with plenty of shine
and no inclusions we are seeing red. Save for the passenger door
and rocker which has a few finishing scratches near the bottom, we
are all good. Chrome bumpers horizontal ribbed grille complete with
new for this year a more rakish front and has 4 headlights 2 of
which reside in the grill along with the Mustang badging. This year
losing the galloping stallion in the middle and presenting it
smaller over a vertical striped bar. Some chrome trim around the
wheel wells, and a black front and rear spoilers, and hood scoop
add to the power mystique of this car and it's looking aggressive.
Brite work and window surrounds are in good condition and shiny.
15x7 chromed Magnum 500 wheels are adding bling to all 4 corners of
this beautiful car. This car retains its original quarter panels,
doors, fenders and hood. Giddyup!
Interior
Procar now provides the two tone seats which are high back buckets
up front and rear bench. Red tuck and roll vented vinyl inserts
bordered by smooth black wrap around stitched bolsters along with
nice padding in the seats. On the rear seat in the middle is the
red sewn on updated version of the pony option. The dash is rakish
and has the deeply imbedded round instruments in front of a now
wood steering wheel which has an aftermarket tachometer attached to
the left side of the column. The center of the dash now heads
toward the floor and meets the hump and includes an aftermarket
AM/FM/CD player, and heating & airflow controls and 2 more
aftermarket gauges. The shapely iconic Mustang T style shift lever
resides well within reach of the driver and presents in chrome, and
a very nice aftermarket center console is flanked by the seats.
Black carpet floods the floors, and a black near perfect headliner
is above. Noted are beautiful colorful embroidered floor mats with
the new badge and led interior lighting has been added.
Drivetrain
As for specs, we see an original cosmetically restored and rebuilt
351ci Windsor V8 engine topped by a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and
backed by a C6 3-speed automatic transmission, also rebuilt (within
the last 5K miles). Some bling in the form of a chromed Edelbrock
air cleaner cover, and ribbed polished valve covers along with
supple shiny hoses and a new aluminum radiator, as well as some
braided hoses for fuel delivery, and we are in an overall clean bay
which makes a nice presentation when opening the hood.
Undercarriage
No surface rust is seen on the frame, floorpans, and rockers, which
present in a nice patina black. A Ford 9-inch 3.00 conventional
axle is noted. The front suspension is independent coil spring and
the rear is leaf springs and has yellow traction bars put on. For
stopping power its power discs upfront and power drums on the rear.
Last a Flowmaster exhaust makes its way gracefully bending from
front to rear.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up, sounds great, and runs like a charm. Good
handling, and traction on the rear wheels is solid with the bars
added. The A/C turns on but will need a recharge, and the radio and
clock do not work.
The beneficiary of a recent (under 5K miles) rebuild of the engine
and tranny, new interior, and beautiful paint create a solid
example which runs smoothly, shifts effortlessly automatically, and
is in overall very nice condition. I'm seeing red after driving
this one.
