Vehicle Description
It's hard not to take notice of a 1969 Ford Mustang GT convertible,
especially when it has an awesome factory color combo, upgraded V8
power, and a ton of the right investments all the way around. The
result is a quality drop-top classic that's built for driving.
This design is arguably the pinnacle of the first-generation
Mustang. You can see the lines that made us all fall in love with
the original pony car, and 1969 is when the long hood and short
deck look was maximized. And this example only gets better with
some of the best features around. The factory-correct Acapulco Blue
was updated later in life. So the sun still loves to radiate off
the classic sheetmetal. And this tropical blue color has a crisp
white top to give the full package the attractive appeal of an
ocean wave. And because this is a real-deal GT, you have some of
the best performance-minded pieces. This includes a large chin
spoiler fog light grille, hood pins, and Mag 500 wheels. The sporty
hood scoop not only has the 351 callout, but also the turn signals
on the back are even still working on this detail-oriented
classic.
As much as we like the look of this one with the roof in place,
with the flip of a switch, it gets even better. That's because the
top powers down to reveal the factory-correct blue interior. And
there's just always an added sophistication on a factory
blue-on-blue convertible. Plus, this one has an especially nice
presentation everywhere from the blue dash pad to the seat
upholstery. It loves to showcase its vintage style, and so you see
this everywhere from the wood-like trim to the AM radio that's
still cranking out tunes. It's also made to be a comfy driver's
classic. That's why you have front bucket seats, a wood-rimmed
steering wheel, and armrest center console.
Under the hood is Ford's mighty 351 cubic-inch Windsor V8. This has
a terrifically vintage and fresh presentation from the factory
decals to the Powered by Ford valve covers. But this also has the
unmistakable look of the right upgrades, too. This V8 was rebuilt
in 2013. It was enhanced and fortified with Scorpion roller
rockers, Comp roller camshaft, roller lifters, and topped with a
Holley 650 double-pumper four-barrel carburetor. This has had
comprehensive work that also include the supporting components,
like the water pump, starter, alternator, and a new MSD ignition.
This strong motor feeds a three-speed automatic transmission that
was rebuilt at the same time. As you look underneath the car,
you'll see a fresh presentation that will inspire confidence on the
road. This is further by newer bushings, tie rods, ball joints,
brake lines, and KYB shocks. Add in power steering, power brakes
with front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As, and this makes for
quite a solid cruising classic.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, service manuals, and a
Marti Report. You also get stock parts with the sale, including the
factory steering wheel, air grabber, and Motorcraft four-barrel
carburetor. This is the well-finished total package of one of the
most desirable first-gen Mustang convertibles around. Call
