Some race cars are built to compete. Others become part of racing
history. This extraordinary 1969 Ford Mustang is one of those rare
machines. Campaigned by the legendary Paul Harvey Ford dealership
during the 1969 NHRA season, this purpose-built drag car represents
a remarkable chapter in Ford's celebrated "Total Performance" era.
With only two owners since new and an extensive collection of
documentation, including the original sales invoice and receipts
from Holman Moody, Stroppe, and Roush, this is far more than a race
car. It is an authentic piece of Ford motorsports history.
Power comes from a Holman Moody and Stroppe-prepared 428 cubic inch
big block V8 backed by a rugged C-6 automatic transmission and Ford
9-inch rear end. Long tube headers, a B&M Pro Stick ratchet
shifter, widened rear wheel tubs, trunk-mounted battery, and
Goodyear Eagle drag slicks reflect the serious competition pedigree
of this 1969 Ford Mustang. Every component was selected with one
goal in mind: to get down the quarter-mile as fast as possible.
Finished in black with chrome hood pins and a Cobra Jet hood scoop,
this 1969 Mustang has the unmistakable appearance of a late-1960s
factory-backed drag car. Inside, the black vinyl bucket seats,
four-point harnesses, partial roll cage, factory Ford gauge
cluster, Jones tachometer, and Stewart-Warner auxiliary gauges
create a cockpit that remains true to its original racing
purpose.
Paul Harvey Ford of Indianapolis was one of Ford's premier
performance dealerships and played a significant role in the
factory-backed Ford Drag Team alongside racing legends Hubert Platt
and Randy Payne. This Mustang was part of that effort, giving it a
documented connection to one of the most successful periods in Ford
drag racing history.
Whether you're searching for a significant 1969 Ford Mustang for
sale, an investment-grade competition car, or one of the most
historically important 1969 Mustangs to reach the market,
opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. With documented
ties to Holman Moody, Stroppe, Roush, and Paul Harvey Ford, this
remarkable race car stands as a lasting tribute to the golden age
of American factory drag racing.
