be a Mustang fan at Custom Classics of Island lake! Over the past
few weeks, we've penned a few nice American Muscle cars and rounded
up a couple of super nice restorations for good measure. However,
it wasn't until after the dust settled that we able to get around
to prepping this resto-mod/pro-touring Mach 1 tribute car. No
worries though, we didn't become the nation's premier restorer of
specialty cars by resting on our laurels. And this killer 1969 Mach
1, with its smooth 5.8 liter V8, custom black interior and slick
Sizzling Pearl White paint, perfectly fits the bill! You know, over
the years we've seen a lot of nice builds; but this show-stopping
Mustang ranks right up there with some of the coolest pony cars to
ever roll through our doors. The amount of detail work that went
into its construction is just unbelievable, and there's virtually
no piece of its body or drivetrain that hasn't been smoothed,
polished, massaged or touched in some way. If you're in the market
for classic good looks and spectacular modern performance, there
simply isn't a better option for the money! A masterful restoration
is all about the details both on the surface and below the surface.
At the front of this razor-sharp coupe, chrome-trimmed low beam
headlights and grille-mounted high beam headlights combine with a
thin chrome bumper and ridged front fenders to provide a fierce,
aggressive face. Between those fenders, a satin-trimmed scoop
visually complements traditional rear window louvers while great
looking stainless trim combines with bright chrome drip rails,
familiar silver wipers, and body matched racing mirrors to frame
like-new glass. Below those mirrors, correct chrome door handles
combine with a matt finish antenna, dent-free stainless fender
trim, and small, square marker lights to add detail to the car's
sinister mug shot. And above those marker lights, deep-set quarter
scoops lead the eye to a concave rear valence which hangs a
detailed fuel filler and segmented sequential tail lights above a
second chrome bumper, chrome trimmed reverse lights and subtle
stainless exhaust tips. A great resto-mod build is all about taking
the virtues of a classic factory design and incorporating modern
mechanical elements that are as stylish as they are seamless.
Nowhere is that philosophy more evident than under this Mustang's
hood, where classic transforms to state of the art in literally the
blink of an eye. The car's original 290 horsepower mill has been
exchanged for a 400 horsepower, 351 Cleveland V8 that runs twice as
good and looks just as natural. The long-time thoroughbred of
Ford's performance car stables, this hand-built powerplant utilizes
an aluminum intake, 4 barrel carb, and a set of headers, which
makes for a nice combination of smooth cruising and spirited
performance. Naturally, the '5.8 Liter motor' you see here comes
complete with electronic ignition for a smooth, but certain spark
for trouble free cruising down the highway. All of this was blended
into the powerplant's white engine bay for that show & shine look.
Underneath the car's striking body, and behind its serious motor,
you'll find more fresh paint and more serious hardware. A modern
5-speed Tremec manual transmission, which sends power to a rebuilt
Ford 9 inch Posi-traction rear end that houses tall 3.91 gears.
Custom welded exhaust, which is complete with an X-pipe crossover,
Flow Master mufflers, that all flows from a nice set of black
headers making this aggressive looking car sound every bit the
part. Suspension upgrades abound as the car's original leaf springs
benefit from new subframe connectors out back, and its original
coil springs benefit from new tubular control arms up front. A
Mustang power rear disc brake conversion combines with power
factory front discs and power steering to provide curve ability
that would've been unthinkable in 1969. Power is thrown to the
pavement via 18-inch gray-spoke American racing Wheel Mags which
spin 225/45ZR18 Nexen radials in front, and 265/40ZR18 Nexen
radials in the rear. Aesthetically, this Mustang's suspension is
detailed in the same way the rest of this great build was done.
With well-planned finishing touches like gloss black floors, a
fresh fuel tank, and fresh stainless hardware add the kind of
finishing touches that make a build look great from every angle.
Peer inside this awesome '69 Mustang and you'll find a black
interior that is, like the rest of the car, an exceptional mix of
both vintage and modern pieces. Black Ultraleather mixed in with
real leather covers the front LeCarra seats, as well as the rear
fold down seats. The crisp black door panels add to the fresh look
of this interior. On the car's crack-free dash hangs a traditional
Mustang clock, along with the traditional factory dash cluster.
Looking over to the center console where two custom placed gauges
complete the center console that also houses the 5-speed shifter
that connects you to the road. The console is also where the power
window switches are located. If things get hot outside, a Vintage
Air climate system is piped in through the dash to keep things cool
on those hot summer days. Don't worry about a sound system, the
builder of this car left that out, the only music that needs to be
heard is the sound of the V/8 humming away. With every detailed
covered now except for the trunk, let us not forget to mention that
as well, if you have things to haul like lawn chairs & coolers,
there is plenty of room in the trunk of this little go-getter and
car-show driver. If you're the kind of enthusiast who enjoys the
best of everything and understands that quality doesn't compromise,
then you're already familiar with what this Mustang has to offer.
Stunning to look at, thrilling to drive, and exceptional to show,
it's a state of the art resto-mod that will remain timeless thanks
to smart design and immaculate craftsmanship. With its fully sorted
driving experience and completely detailed good looks, you simply
can't go wrong with this 1969 Pro-Touring fastback. So why not
enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor for a fraction of the
construction cost?
