Vehicle Description
The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is one of the baddest-looking street
machines of all times. But finding one this unique is the true
treasure. Not only has it been in the care of the same family since
the 1970s, but also it has been given a thorough and correct
restoration, which makes it a stellar 'Stang with a story to
tell.
This pony car was born the cool water shade of Acapulco Blue, but
as the large photo book will tell you, it has been a long journey
back to the deep blue ocean you see today. This coupe has been in
the care of the same family for most of its lifetime, and they are
the ones that made the large investment in 2011 for the full
restoration. The result is amazing paint, uniform gaps, and an
overall pride of ownership. But more than just a nice story, you
love this Mach 1 for all the sporty details. The hood alone is a
great aggressive piece with its large scoop, hold down pins, and
full blacked-out treatment. Then, add in more features such as the
chin spoiler, side stripes, and speedy fastback design special for
1969 - this is a full intimidation package right down to the GT
wheels.
Ford was going upmarket with the Mustang at this time, and a great
way to showcase that is with a pristine white interior. We light
colored vinyl cleans up in a snap, and the black carpeting hides
any dusty shoes that might enter. The woodgrained steering wheel
matches the paneling on the dash, console, and doors, which all
adds to the upscale ambiance of the Mach 1. In total, you'll love
the investment that was made in this coupe, because it looks like a
time machine taking you back to 1969 with all the correct details,
right down to the AM/FM stereo. In fact, the most noticeable modern
upgrade is one that you don't see, but instead you feel it. The
restoration included the addition of a modern R134a air
conditioning system.
This M-code Mustang left the factory with a 351 cubic-inch V8, so
it's great to see the believed to be original one so nicely
presented still under the hood. The engine bay has an exceptionally
tidy presentation that looks correct right down to the Powered by
Ford valve covers. And when people marvel at how pristine
everything is, you can pass along that the second owner believes
the exceptionally low mileage to be accurate. In fact, you can
really see the level of detail and how few miles have been put on
since the restoration just by the state of the red oxide
undercoating in the undercarriage photos. But even how nice it all
looks in our showroom, a Mach 1 like this was meant to be out on
the open road. The V8 inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, and it exhales with authority from the stainless dual
exhaust. It also has the right driving features like the
three-speed automatic transmission and a more highway-friendly rear
end ratio. When you add in power steering and front disc brakes,
the result is a great any time classic.
This is the coupe that turns heads and has a story to tell - It
even was even originally ordered out of the Charlotte Ford district
in 1969. So you know it's already an ideal classic even before you
twist the key and hear the V8 roar. That's why you know something
this unique will be gone soon. Call now!!
