INTRODUCTION: Here is some sexy muscle! Stunning factory black with
red interior, only 640 of all fastbacks were made in this
combination. Built by Ford 427 Guru Bill Parham, this was his
personal car for 35 years. Then his niece inherited the car, she
worked at Summit Performance where this car was on display in their
showroom.
EXTERIOR: I don't need to tell you the lines on a 69 Mustang
fastback is among the best of all cars. The body is laser straight
with no rust or damage. Repainted its original Raven Black color
and it has a mirror reflection. It also has the black out hood
treatment in a satin finish and the red reflective stripes really
pop! Then add the spoilers, sport mirrors and window louvers and
you have one of the hottest Mach 1s around. The cherry on top, or I
should say on the bottom in this case, is the 15 inch Magnum 500
wheels wrapped in BFG tires. The chrome, weatherstrips and
windshield all look great.
INTERIOR: Factory born red deluxe interior! The deluxe includes
molded door panels and high back bucket seats which are in
excellent shape. The carpet and headliner look fresh and fit right.
The dash pad and instrument panel were replaced. It has a vintage
Sun tachometer mounted on the column along with a Shelby style
steering wheel. It was also upgraded with a retro stereo. The
center console is home to the 4-speed Hurst shifter. Overall it is
in excellent shape and fully functional inside.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Bill Parham built, blueprinted and Dyno tuned.
He started with a 427 FE block and stroked it to a 484 making 514
horsepower and 554 lbs of torque! It has a Scat steel crank, H-beam
rods, Keith Black hypertech pistons, Demos solid lift cam, double
roller timing chain, polished aluminum intake with dual Holley 600
carbs. It also has ceramic coated headers and MSD 6AL ignition. Not
only is it a strong running beast but it's dressed up real sharp. I
love the finned valve covers and air cleaner. There are several
parts that have been chromed including the optional Monte Carlo
bar. All the components look proper and the engine bay is clean
metal that was neatly painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb look slick,
inside is solid and painted semi gloss. The weatherstrip and trunk
mat were replaced. A car cover and box of miscellaneous extras are
included.
UNDERSIDE: The Mach 1s came with the competition suspension
steering and suspension, it was completely rebuilt in this car at
the time of restoration and maintained since. Upgraded with welded
in frame connectors and tubular traction bars. It has disc brakes
in front, drum in back, the e-brake is hooked up. Great sounding
dual exhaust has been ceramic coated, has Flowmaster mufflers and
the quad tips going through the valance. The fuel system was
replaced including the tank. Looking up at the motor it has a
chrome extra capacity oil pan and a chrome flywheel cover. The Top
Loader 4-speed looks very fresh. It has an 11 inch clutch and a
Hurst shifter. The original nine inch rear end was just rebuilt
with new bearings, 31 spline axles, new 3.50 gears and a Detroit
Locker. The floors and frame rails appear to be rock solid.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: Not only did the 427 guru build this motor but he built
it for himself! Someone is going to get a very exciting car. Just
looking at it is exciting but getting behind the wheel and letting
out that clutch is when the real thrill begins!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
