With Shelby’s and Boss Mustangs now commanding solid six-figure price tags, the market on Mach 1s is on the move. This Black Jade 1969 Mustang Mach 1 offers a smooth-running 351 cubic inch V8, a 4-speed manual transmission and an honest look that’s perfect for cruising the streets this summer or going to the local car shows.
There’s not much argument that the ’69 Mach 1 is one of the best-looking Mustangs of all time. Aggressive, perfectly proportioned and with details like the hood scoop and the quarter panel vents; it looks every bit the ideal muscle car. Code C Black Jade is the car’s original color, and it has a truly authentic look. Of course, the blacked-out hood treatment, Mach 1 stripes along the sides and the matching decal out back all add to the muscle car look and there’s no question that any fastback Mustang is a desirable machine. The chrome bumpers shine bright in the sun and the emblems and badges are either original or good reproductions, with nothing on the car looking too fresh or too old. Early Mustangs don’t get much better-looking than this.
Black Clarion Knit high-back buckets anchor a well-preserved interior, but you know this car was built for fun. The Mach 1 is easy to identify from the inside, thanks to the red highlights on the seat backs and the Mach 1 floor mats that always grab your attention. The seat covers are probably original, as are the door panels and carpets and it is all in very good condition. The gauges offer clear faces and operate as they should, with the AM/FM radio in the dash delivering some entertainment. It’s also nice to see a console in a Mach 1, which neatly bridged the sport and luxury sides of the Mustang's personality. This 4-speed manual still shifts with precision as well. In back, there's a fold-down seat that makes the fastback the most practical of Mustangs and the trunk offers the correct mat.
While the Boss 302 might have received all the glory, if you wanted effortless power without a gas-hungry big block, the 351 was the better choice. Like all automakers, Ford was playing games with horsepower ratings, pinning the M-code 351 4-barrel at 290 horsepower. Although performance results and subsequent testing suggest that the real number is probably a bit more. The big air cleaner, valve cover all wear proper Ford Blue engine enamel, and a few reproduction decals help add authenticity. Like the rest of the car, it's mostly original and in good order and we do see some new parts, including a fresh fuel pump and a thick radiator up front. The 4-speed manual gearbox feeds a 3.00 rear end, making this a very easy car to live with on the highway. This car is solid underneath as you can see from the phots we have online, and the exhaust sounds just about right for a vintage Mustang. The styled wheels are correct and wear a set of Firehawk white letter radials.
