Vehicle Description
A new design was in store for the Ford Mustang for 1969, both
inside and out. It grew in overall size while maintaining the same
wheelbase as the prior year but was now 1.5 inches lower to the
ground. Headlight configuration grew to 4 sealed beam units, unique
to this year only and the traditional Fastback was now referred to
as the SportsRoof. It would showcase simulated rear fender scoops
and a deck lid spoiler at the rear. With 10 engine options
available, and several special performance packages to choose from,
Ford wasn't giving showroom buyers many excuses not to buy a
Mustang! A new Mach I Package replaced the GT Equipment Package as
the premier performance option. This Mach I package automatically
added a flat black hood with lock-down pins, reflective body side
stripe, competition suspension, chrome wheels, color-keyed outside
sport mirrors, and pop-open gas cap! It required the Sportsroof
body design and nothing less than a 351ci-2V V8 under the hood of
course! Buyers flocked to showrooms to have one of their own!
We are proud to offer this outstandingly solid 1969 Ford Mustang
Mach I (63C) finished in correct (T5) Candy Apple Red and its Mach
I reflective body side stripe with trim (3A) Black Knit Vinyl.
Powered with its original 351ci Windsor V8 factory rated at 250
horsepower. An upgraded Edelbrock Streetmaster aluminum intake
manifold paired to a 4-barrel Holley carburetor advances power
closer to 300hp today. It mates with a FMX Select-Shift 3-speed
automatic transmission, along with original 9" rear axle fitted
with standard 3.00:1 gearing. Options on this car today include
high back bucket seats, chrome steel wheels wrapped in period
correct Firestone Wide Oval white letter black wall F70-14 super
sport tires, power disc brakes, power steering, factory SelectAire
air conditioning, all tinted glass, front & rear spoilers, and rear
window louvers.
This Mustang began life selling new from Deel Motors Inc based in
Coral Gables, Florida on March 20th, 1969, after being built on
March 5th, 1969. It clearly packed all the right options to win
over a quick buyer once in arrived at the showroom! It will come
with owner's manual, spare tire with cover & lug wrench, and an
upgraded Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette radio. This Mustang represents one
of 8,343 built with this desired color/trim combination, which
surprisingly was only 12% of the first year Mach I's produced in
1969.
Believed to have survived most of its life in southern Florida, it
was just recently delivered to St. Louis out of the Fort
Lauderdale, FL area. It has been beautifully cared for and clearly
maintained in proper fashion. It showcases an older repaint but
would certainly satisfy the weekend show-goer and fair-weather
driver enthusiast without complaint. This Mach I only required
minor attention upon arrival to include replacing the temperature
sender, sway bar bushing and end links, along with a fresh oil
change with filter. This Mustang is ready to roll and has just been
professionally detailed by our staff. With such a large fan base
for Ford Mustang enthusiasts and muscle car lovers alike, this Mach
I is not likely to last very long! Thank you for looking, and
please call with any questions or to schedule your chance to review
it in person.
