For Sale: 1969 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

If you're looking for an example of why early Mustang droptops have developed such a loyal following over the years, you need search no further than this 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible. It features an impressive level of period-correctness both inside and out, refreshed with the same eye-catching exterior color it left the assembly line with. Its accompanying convertible top, often a sort of Achilles' heel when it comes to classic restorations, is also in clean shape, sporting a clear rear window and fitting as snugly as you could want. The bumpers, both fore and aft, are straight and unpitted, and contribute to this Pony's road-ready appearance. This is one sharp vintage convertible.

Climb inside, and it will become apparent that quite a bit of care went into restoring the interior to high, factory-correct standards. Clad in the same Ivy Gold vinyl they began life with, both the front buckets and rear bench seat are looking great and are very comfortable. The buckets sit astride a factory center console, a coveted option in this Mustang's day. A closer inspection will show that the carpeting below is in matching condition. Up front, a factory wheel is perched on the column, and the dash area beyond it is clean, showing no obvious cracks or warpage and wearing faux wood accents that show really well. There's a fully functional AM/FM stereo in place at the center of the dash area, and when it comes time to protect yourself from the elements, the power convertible top rises into place without issue.

Beneath the hood, a 302 cubic-inch V8 supplies the power you'd expect from a faithfully restored cruiser like this. Dressed in a properly painted Ford Blue air cleaner and block, it cranks up eagerly and sits in a nice, orderly engine compartment, outfitted with hoses and belts that look fresh and ready for the road. It pairs with a smooth-shifting 3-speed C4 automatic transmission to form a very capable drivetrain, and power brakes that feature discs up front are in place to provide fade-resistant stops.
