very excited to present a gorgeous and rarely seen 1969 Mustang
S-Code Convertible that has been fully restored. This car is in
immaculate condition and must be viewed first-hand to fully
appreciate its overall condition, inside and out! Ordered on July
2, 1969, 18 days before man landed on the Moon, the car was
scheduled to be built at Ford's Dearborn, Michigan factory on July
18 but instead was assembled three days earlier. It was released
from the factory on July 23 and delivered to Northtown Ford (now
Yonge-Steeles Ford-Lincoln) in Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, where
it remained until sold on March 4, 1970. This car left the factory
with the following options - Lime Gold exterior paint (code I);
black, all vinyl bucket interior trim (code 2A); black vinyl power
convertible top with glass backlight; automatic XPL-type
transmission; 3.00 non-locking rear axle; Visibility Light Group;
E78x14 wide oval tires; center console; power steering; power disc
brakes; AM radio; heavy-duty battery; and full wheel covers. In
1999, a Mr. Glowacki bought the car but it was far from factory
fresh. Painted banana yellow with extensive airbrushing, it bore
the nickname the "Widowmaker." The car had been used as a drag
racer during the 1970s and was well-known in area drag racing
circles. Glowacki did not bring the car home until three years
after he bought it, starting what became a long-term, full
nut-and-bolt restoration project. Glowacki stored it for another
four years, until 2006, while he accumulated the necessary parts to
begin the restoration, including a period-correct 390 V-8 from
Qu�bec and a proper S-code intake from Columbus, Ohio. The
replacement engine was rebuilt in 2004 and has a Holley carburetor.
In the fall of 2006, he bartered a 1982 Puma in exchange for a
professional's skills to begin work on the car. The project car
returned to storage then while Glowacki searched for a body shop.
In 2012, the car's sheetmetal was massaged and the car was shot
with Glowacki called a "driver-quality" paint job, all he wanted at
that moment. In the autumn of 2013, Glowacki bumped into an old
friend, Barry Bergmann, who is an expert at restoring 1969 and 1970
Mustangs. The pair worked together to decide what rebuild path the
car should take. They sent the car to Moniz Auto Body in Taunton,
Massachusetts, for a proper repainting; the Champagne Gold paint is
now way beyond driver-quality, complete with a new power top and
brought to an investor-quality finish. This car has a very tidy,
still dry undercarriage with new and correct floorpan sheetmetal,
front and rear. The car has new, whole rear quarter panels.
Subframe connectors have been installed underneath, along with new
suspension parts, new steering bits, dual exhausts with crosspipe
connector, new brake lines, new emergency brake, new fuel line and
new gas tank. Car rolls on BFGoodrich Radial TA tires, 235/60R14,
front and rear, wrapped around factory steel GT rims. After that,
the next step was to incorporate all of the genuine Ford,
hard-to-find GT Equipment Group components, which didn't find many
takers in 1969, adding to the car's uniqueness factor. A
matte-black hood treatment, an extremely hard-to-obtain, period
correct, shaker hood and a Boss chin spoiler bestowed
aggressiveness to what had been a calm, convertible cruiser.
Inside, they chose to use a Mach 1-style appearance, with woodgrain
appliqu�s and Comfort-weave high-back bucket seats, more genuine,
hard-to-find Ford equipment. A master stroke was to add a
period-correct, three-spoke Rim-Blow steering wheel; the horn is
inoperable but the wheel's mock wood compliments the Champagne Gold
exterior. Driver assist features include power steering and power
disc brakes. The car retains its original datecode-correct
seatbelts; everything else is new. Glowacki and Bergmann took the
time and effort to source correct parts for the car and proper
vendors to help them complete the project. The car left Bergmann's
garage 99 percent complete in September 2014. As a twist, Glowacki
chose to leave the car's gearing at 4.88:1 from its days as the
Widowmaker. Rob Ravensberg, president of Lambton Ford in Sarnia,
Ontario, bought the Mustang in September 2014 and inserted it into
his inventory, where it was displayed in the showroom regularly and
many customers admired its looks and condition. The car's gearing
was restored to 3.00:1, just like when it left the factory 47 years
ago. Two years after debuting as King of the Ponycar Hill, the
formidable S-Code 'Stang was overshadowed by the Q-Code 428 Cobra
Jet in 1969, which added 15 more hp, cost $130 more and found more
buyers. Only 3.5 percent of the almost 300,000 Mustangs built in
1969 had a 'S' in the fifth spot on the VIN, signifying the 390
V-8. This pony is one of 146 examples with this transmission and
one of 252 convertibles with 390 CID engines, which made 320
horsepower and 427 lbs-ft of torque with four-barrel carburetors
and in this example, mated to the C6 Cruise-O-Matic three-speed
automatic transmission. The 1969 model year restyle "added more
heft to the body" with body length extended by 3.8 inches (the
wheelbase remained at 108�inches), width increased by almost half
an inch and the Mustang's "weight went up markedly too." This was
the first model to use quad headlamps placed both inside and
outside the grille opening. The corralled grille pony was replaced
with the pony and tribars logo, set off-center to the drivers
side.�The car was longer than previous models and sported convex
rather than concave side panels. The fastback body version was
renamed Sportsroof, styled as SportsRoof in Ford's literature.
