1969 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1- DRIVER CONDITION -ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR COLLECTOR CAR SEARCHES ON ANY CLASSIC CAR WEBSITE, FOR TWO
YEARS RUNNING, IS ANY 1967-70 MUSTANG FASTBACK (63c). THERE'S GOOD
REASON- IT WAS THE LAST OF THE CLASSIC SMALL MUSTANGS WITH BIG
BLOCKS (until 1974... THEN, THEY WENT LILIPUTIAN), BEFORE FOMOCO
DECIDED SMALL BOATS WOULD BE IN VOGUE. WE FOUND THIS CAR BY THE
FACT WE ARE LICENSED CLASSIC CAR APPRAISERS. IT CAME IN 8 YEARS AGO
AND THEN REAPPEARED AT THE DOOR OF OUR MUSEUM FOR ANOTHER
APPRAISAL. WHAT IMPRESSED US WAS, THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC HAS 'GREAT
BONES'. DESPITE THE FACT, IT HAD THE TYPICAL/OCCASIONAL, SMALL RUST
BUBBLES SHOWING IN AND AROUND THE CAR....OUR MAGNET TEST SHOWED IT
HAD A GREAT BODY (AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE). THE REALLY GOOD NEWS
WAS, IT HAILED ORIGINALLY FROM SAN JOSE, CALIF. (72) MADE A SHORT
TRIP TO MASS. AND THEN LIVED HERE, GARAGED IN THE HEART OF CENTRAL
FLA. FOR YEARS... WHERE WE HAVE NO ROAD SALT. IT WAS ORIGINALLY,
WHAT WE CALL 'SLIME GREEN' (LIME GOLD CODE'15'), AND IT HAD A
JUSTIFIABLE COLOR CHANGE YEARS AGO TO WHAT FORD CALL'S "CHAMPAGNE
GOLD ('S')" IN 1969. THE INTERIOR IS BLACK/ HI-BACK BUCKETS W/ RED
INSERTS (CODE 31) WITH A BLACK HEADLINER. YOU CAN CONFIRM IT'S #'S
BY DECIPHERING THE TRIM TAG YOURSELF, WE SEE IT AS A REAL MACH 1
FASTBACK WITH AXLE: 'R' ; 3:25-:01 LIMITED SLIP. AND TRANSM. '6';
4-SPEED. PLUS, IT WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY THE LAST OWNER, IT
ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A 428 BUT, IT CARRIES A 390 V8 NOW. SO, WE
TOSSED AROUND LOCATING A 428 AND PUTTING IT BACK TO ORIGINAL BUT,
OUR 'PLATE IS FULL' WITH OTHER EXPENSIVE ACQUISITIONS, WE DECIDED
TO OFFER IT UP ON OUR WEBSITE AT A GREAT PRICE AFTER JUMPING INTO A
PARTIAL RESTORATION. THAT WAY, THE BUYER COULD CHOOSE WHICH WAY
THEY WANT TO GO. WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED PAINTWORK, INTERIOR REPAIR,
PARTIAL PAINTWORK ON MOTOR, TRUNK PAINT/DETAIL, CLEANING MOTOR AND
RE-PRICED TO COVER OUR COST. THIS CAR WILL NOW HAVE A VALUABLE
CALIF. BIG BLOCK SMOG PUMP IN THE TRUNK WHICH THE NEW OWNER CAN
SELL ON THE INTERNET ($3,000?) OR INSTALL. THIS CAR DESERVES A FULL
RESTORATION DUE TO IT'S RARITY- UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MACH 1
'DRIVER'. IF SO........ YOU FOUND IT.
IT IS STILL EQUIPPED WITH SOME NEAT OPTIONS LIKE DUAL SPORT
MIRRORS, FOLD-DOWN REAR SEAT, SHAKER HOOD (HOOD PINS), REAR
SPOILER, 4-PIPE SINGLE EXHAUST, COMPETITION SUSPENSION, THE MACH 1
CHROME-STYLE RALLY WHEELS /GREAT TIRES, TINTED GLASS IS ALL GOOD,
FACTORY INTERMITTENT WIPERS, SOME CHROME ADD-ONS,ORIGINAL HI-BACK
BLK/RED BUCKET SEATS WITH DELUXE DOOR PANELS, CONSOLE WITH HURST
SHIFTER, AFTER-MARKET RADIO, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND NOW
390 V8 (SUPER STRONG 50 LBS' OIL PRESSURE). THE VIN IS FO2Q 1365528
WHICH WOULD TELL YOU: FLINT BUILT '69 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK MACH I
SPORT COUPE WITH THE 428 CUBIC INCH COBRA JET 335 HP @5600 RPM AND
10:-6-1 COMPRESSION. COPY UPDATED W/REPAIRS 7/5/16
THE NEAT THING IS... WHILE ALL THESE MUSCLE CARS 'BURPED' IN THE
COLLECTOR MARKET, BEGINNING IN 2004, THEY HAVE BEEN CLIMBING BACK
SUPER STRONG SINCE 2009. SO, IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO PUT YOUR
HARD-EARNED MONEY. FORD BUILT 299,824 MUSTANGS IN 1969 BUT, ONLY
24.2% WERE THE BEAUTIFUL, SMALL BODIED MACH ONE'S. IF YOU GO
SEARCHING, VERY FEW OF THESE 47 YR.OLD MUSCLE CARS, LOOK LIKE THIS,
ARE PRIMARILY RUST-FREE AND STILL 'WHOLE'. THESE BECAME A 'CHEAP
RIDE' IN THEIR LIFE AND MOST ARE TOTALLY GRENADED BY NOW. THIS
PACKAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO CHOOSE- RESTORE OR RIDE. A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY WE ARE SURE WON'T LAST VERY LONG. FRESH BACK FROM OUR
RESTORATION SHOP(COPY NOW UPDATED). OFFERS OVER $29500 firm.
