INTRODUCTION: This documented Mach 1 has been treated to a
beautiful rotisserie restoration and finished in its stunning
factory Silver Jade. Under the hood is the desirable S-code 390,
now paired with a Tremec 5-speed for a much more enjoyable driving
experience, while retaining its original Traction-Lok rear end. It
combines the unmistakable looks of a Mach 1 with the performance
and drivability enthusiasts are looking for today.
EXTERIOR: Few cars have the presence of a 1969 Mustang Mach 1
Fastback, and this one checks all the boxes. Finished in its
factory Silver Jade Metallic, the paint is laid out evenly with a
deep, glossy finish that's been polished to a beautiful shine. The
body is exceptionally straight and clean, with excellent panel fit
throughout. It's fully dressed with the iconic Mach 1 spoilers,
rear window louvers, and reflective side striping. The blackout
hood treatment has been refinished in gloss black for a striking
appearance. A new windshield, fresh weatherstrips, and replaced
chrome and moldings complete the restoration. Sitting on Magnum 500
wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra radial tires, this Mach 1 has the
look that makes these fastbacks so desirable.
INTERIOR: The Mach 1 came standard with a deluxe interior, giving
it a sporty, upscale feel. This one has been restored with new
upholstery and seat cushions, along with the signature molded
deluxe door panels. It also features the optional Sport Deck rear
seat that folds flat, creating 2+2 seating. The carpet, headliner,
dash pad, and interior trim are all in excellent condition. The
restored instrument panel is clean and crisp, the steering wheel
has been restored, and a RetroSound Mustang stereo fits neatly in
the factory location. The center console is excellent, and the
highlight is the 5-speed Hurst shifter, adding a perfect blend of
vintage style and modern driving enjoyment. Even the embroidered
floor mats, original seat belts, and working interior lights show
the attention to detail throughout.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is the desirable S-code 390 V8,
and this one is powered by a date correct engine that runs strong.
It's topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, finned aluminum
valve covers, and a matching finned air cleaner for a period
correct performance look. It features power steering and power
brakes, while the engine compartment itself is clean and properly
detailed. The black painted inner fenders contrast nicely with the
body color underside of the hood. It has the correct fan shroud,
working horns, hooked up windshield squirters, replaced fender
bolts, and a properly secured battery. Overall, it's a clean,
honest engine bay that's both attractive and functional.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is restored just as nicely as the rest of the
car. The underside of the trunk lid, jambs, and even the interior
of the trunk are all painted body color for a clean, finished
appearance. It's detailed with the correct plaid trunk mat and
matching spare tire cover. It also features the optional trap door
and working trunk light. The weatherstrip and trunk decals have
been replaced, making the compartment well presented.
UNDERSIDE: It appears to have been restored on a rotisserie, with
clean, dry metal throughout and the factory style red oxide primer
reapplied. The Competition Suspension has been completely rebuilt
and upgraded with a fatter front swaybar and tubular rear traction
bars for improved handling. A dual exhaust system with an H-pipe
crossover, Flowmaster mufflers, and correct quad tips exits through
the rear valance. The fuel system has been replaced, including a
fuel tank that still shines like new. It features front disc
brakes, rear drums, all new brake lines, and a functional parking
brake. Looking up at the engine, it's detailed in proper Ford Blue.
The transmission has been upgraded to a Tremec five-speed manual,
connected by a custom driveshaft to the original 3.23 Traction-Lok
rear end, which still wears its factory identification tag.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: Here's your opportunity to own one of the best looking
cars of all time, and one that has been restored to an exceptional
standard. Finished in its gorgeous factory Silver Jade, powered by
the desirable S-code 390, and upgraded with a Tremec 5-speed, it's
a combination that's difficult to duplicate.
