1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Description

The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is one of the baddest-looking street machines of all times. Of course, it's only better when it's a real-deal factory red Mach 1, stuffed with a smooth-running original 351 V8, and plenty of options.

One look at the Marti Report, and it will show you everything you want to see. This sportsroof Mustang is a 63 code Mach 1, in T code Candyapple Red paint, with a blacked out hood. But that's only the beginning of this aggressive package. Add in a chin spoiler, hood pins, rear window slats, and a wing on the rear deck, and the result is a Mustang that defines high performance. Proper gold Mach 1 stripes on the side and rear add a touch of upper-class sportiness. And speaking of class, the condition of all the brightwork from the bumpers to the stylized wheel covers is just downright smooth. But above all, the reason why people will stop and stare at this coupe is because of its level of quality. Nearly everything is in place, which will make people wonder if even it looked this good when it left the Dearborn, Michigan factory over 45 years ago.

You'll enjoy reviewing the copy of the original window sticker because it will show you the long list of options applied, and still in this interior. It starts with the comfortable high back bucket seats and the center console in between them. As you step inside, you'll notice the exceptional condition of the carpets, door panels, and headliner. The woodgrained steering wheel matches the paneling on the dash, console, and doors, which all adds to the upscale ambiance of the Mach 1. The knob-style AM/FM stereo keeps the interior looking period-correct, but there is an iPod hookup so that you can cruise to modern tunes in your vintage 'Stang.

Under the hood is exactly what you want to see – an M-code 351 cubic-inch Windsor V8. It's how this car originally left the factory, and all signs point to it being the original block. In fact, it keeps its original spirit right down to the four-barrel carburetor and original FMX three-speed automatic. But, one look at the engine bay and you know there has been good care, maintenance, and occasional upgrades to keep this big V8 looking its best. Don't just listen to great rumble of the dual exhaust, but really take a look under this Mach 1 to understand how exceptionally nice and clean it is. But when it does come time to hit the road, you'll be glad to have the original stout 9-inch Ford rear end running a versatile 3.23 ratio. But as much as you might want to burn up the dragstrip with this one, there's also a practical side, with power steering and front disc brakes so you can go cruising every night with ease.

This correctly restored, well documents, and highly optioned Mach 1 is a rare treat in Candyapple Red. It's the ultimate vintage pony that will always be in demand so we know it won't last long in our showroom. Call today!!
