For Sale: 1969 Ford Mustang in Ft Worth, Texas

Some folks might look at this spectacular 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod and think it was nothing but a trailer queen to be gawked at and drooled over as it travels from car show to car show. But checking the specs, you'll realize that not only is it beautiful, but it has been built for combat thanks to a thundering 427 V8, a built Tremec 5-speed, and performance suspension that will easily humiliate a lot of impressive hardware out on the street.

With Shelbys, Boss 302s, Boss 429s, and every other specialty Mustang rapidly climbing deep into six-figure territory, it's natural for hobbyists to gravitate towards the next best thing: high end restomods. This stunning Sportsroof is finished in miles deep Raven Black paint, making it the kind of car that you almost can't resist touching. And yes, finish work was done to show standards and you'd be forgiven for thinking this was nothing but a trailer queen. Gaps are excellent, detailing is exceptional, and that paint, well, the photos just don't do it justice. For the proper look, there's an aggressive Shaker hood, and a wide red hood stripe was expertly painted on and buried under the clearcoat, adding great contrast to draw the eye toward the muscular front end. 1969 is arguably the best year for attractive Mustangs, with beautiful lines and slick, sexy profile that could make Marilyn Monroe jealous, and with a chin spoiler up front and decklid spoiler and louvers in the rear, all that gorgeous style has neat bookends. There's just enough chrome and brightwork to add some sparkle to the dark suit, starting with a billet grille up front, the one-piece bumpers fore and aft, and the bright trim around all the glass. And my goodness does it all work so well on this fastback, it's exactly the kind of muscle car you DON'T mess with when you see it on the street, because you know if they spent this much getting the bodywork right, then there's surely a fortune's worth of performance underneath, too. And you'd be totally correct in that estimation, because it's nasty!

The impressive work continues with the interior, which features original-style comfort-weave vinyl upholstery on the stock high-back buckets, with a sliver of Vermillion Red stitched in for contrast, just like the Mach 1. That bright Vermillion Red is continued throughout the cabin, with the contrasting shade found in the back seat and hatch area, the shifter boot, bright red carpets and floor mats. The sporty billet steering wheel works well with the racy pedals below, and the simulated wood appliques on the dash, door panels, and middle console add a touch sophistication to the cabin. There's a Hurst shifter inside the middle console, and it features just about the coolest cue-ball topper we've ever seen, featuring more bright red accents and a Cobra design on the sides. The original gauges were swapped in favor with bright, modern Dakota Digital units that more accurately monitor the upgraded engine, and there's a custom retro-style Auto-Sound AM/FM/AUX stereo neatly installed in the center of the dash where the original unit used to live. All the soft parts have been barely broken in and look incredibly fresh, and even the trunk is lined with bright Vermillion Red that looks like they just took it out of the wrapper. You know the term "cost no object?" This is what it looks like in Mustang form.

Originally powered by an economical 6-cylinder, there's now a built 472 cubic inch V8 under the hood, which is actually a better choice for a street car than the deep-breathing big block unit. What started as a 351 Windsor block was then bored, stroked, and balanced into the powerful beast it is today, with features high-end performance parts including aluminum heads, SRS pistons, an FRPP hydraulic cam and roller lifters, and a balanced steel RPM stroker crank just to name a select few. The engine bay is show car sanitary with correct Ford Blue paint on the air cleaner rim around the Shaker hood, shaved shock towers, and beautiful bright finned valve covers with '427' badges at the flanks. The supporting cast is pretty impressive, too, featuring a gorgeous set of long-tube headers that feed into a custom stainless steel exhaust system, a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission with a McLeod twin-disc clutch, and a 9-inch with 28 spline axles and impressive off-the-line gearing that can also handle highway cruising with ease. The chassis is insanely well-detailed, with satin black pans and suspension parts and shiny gas tank, and performance suspension parts from Heidts up front, a 4-link in the rear, and adjustable coil-overs at all four corners. There's also a power 4-wheel disc brake at each corner too, and with power rack-and-pinion steering and a big rear sway bar, handling is downright impressive. Obviously, everything is new, including bushings, shocks, lines, hoses, and fasteners, and even the 18-inch Ridler chrome wheels are fresh, wearing staggered 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear performance rubber.
