Description

1969 was the benchmark year for Ford Mustang in its proliferation of performance names and engines. No less than 7 factory performance Mustang models were available (Boss 302, Boss 429, Shelby GT350, GT500 and the Mach 1). Additionally, 9 variations of V-8s were available in the '69-'70 cars. The GT model was discontinued after 1969.(1969 GT sales had dropped to 4,973 vs 72,458 1969 Mach 1's sold.) The "GT" Mustang would not be around again until 1982 on the Fox body platform.For Ford, the Mach 1 was introduced as an in-between model, a fit between the lower priced GT and the track oriented Boss 302s and 429s. The Mach 1 started with the fastback "Sports Roof" body and added several visual and performance enhancing items such as matte black hood with hood pins, chrome gas cap and wheels, chrome exhaust tips (except 351W 2V), and dealer optional chin and rear deck spoilers, and louvers.This particular 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 comes with a very interesting history. We recently purchased this car from a local gentleman who did the full restoration on the car. He purchased it in 1982 for a measly $600. He did this because he wanted a classic mustang to drive as his very first car! Since 1982, the car has undergone around 4 restorations. The most complete and extensive was started in 2006 and completed in 2010. We have every receipt and record for this restoration in a 2 inch thick folder. While retaining the original Mach 1 look and the original motor under the hood, the car was built to drive and not just show with its new Tremac 5 speed transmission. The paint on the car is as close to a number 1 paint job that you will find. The car was finished with DuPont epoxy primer, color coat then cleared. The clear coat was then wet sanded and buffed to eliminate any orange peel. There has been correct striping applied to the car as well as the signature flat black on the hood. The hood scoop is from a Boss 429 which is vacuum operated and fully functional. Both front and rear chrome bumpers look perfect with no damage or pitting to be found on either. The rear glass is original for the car and shows only very small scratches. All gaps are perfect and the doors take little to no effort to close. Inside, the high back buckets are both new as well as nearly every other interior component. The attention to detail on the car is second to none. From the rim blow steering wheel to the clock, everything on the car works perfectly. The carpet is new as well as the headliner, door panels, dash and gauges. The car retains its original AM radio but has had updated gauges installed. The motor is the original for the car but has been bored and stroked to 427 Cu In. The 351 windsor block was bored .060 with a Scat forged steel crank stroked for 427 cu in. Scat H beam rods were used as well as Diamond forged pistons for a 10:1 compression. Other add on's include ARP fasteners. Cleveland iron 2 barrel heads, open chamber, Screw in rocker studs, hardened seats, port matched and Crane roller rockers. The mild custom roller cam was ground specifically for this application. A dual plane aluminum B/A Street Boss intake manifold was used for the Cleveland/Windsor application. A Barry Grant Street Demon 750 carb is new feeding this monster with annular boosters. Jetting done with AFR meter. Electronics are handled with a Pertronix 2 with Second Strike box, Flamethrower coil and dual conductor ignition wires. The Cleveland 4 barrel exhaust manifolds were modified to fit the 2 barrel heads. These manifolds have massive passages with no restriction. The transmission has been modified with a Kiesler modified TKO 500 transmission, hydraulic throw out bearing, Centerforce Dual friction clutch, 3.00 Ford 9 inch rear, Traction Lock and new steel driveshaft. The underside of the car is all correct with iron oxide paint and NO undercoating. The suspension is a RRS McPherson strut front suspension system with RRS power rack/pinion steering. The rear has been updated with higher rate rear leaf springs and all new bushings. All in all, this is one incredible Mach 1 that has had over $75,000 invested to bring it to the level you see today. VIN number is 9F02H158452 and the current mileage is 4,329 which is what's on the restoration. The car is being sold on a clean Missouri title.
