1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Description

This impressive 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 delivers in a very big way, nd once you see the list of specs and the quality of the work, hat price is going to look like a screaming bargain. Yes, t's a real S-code 390 Mach 1, nd given the way Boss 302 prices have skyrocketed lately, ou can bet that top-tier Mach 1s like this are not far behind.Acapulco Blue is one of those colors that everyone can agree looks awesome. Put it on a 1969 Mustang, nd things get very interesting indeed. And if that Mustang happens to be a big block Mach 1, ell, hen it's easy to explain the crowds that this car routinely attracts at shows. Following a full rotisserie restoration, his car sparkles in the sunlight and looks predatory at night. You could even turn this one over and show it from the bottom-up, f that was your thing. Either way, he Mach 1 is one of Ford's better ideas, uccessfully giving the Mustang the aggressive look and attitude that it had been craving from the beginning, nd the final product on this one is nothing short of stunning. A blacked-out hood with scoop, deep chin spoiler, ear-window slats, nd a matching wing on the rear deck all give the sportsroof a very performance-oriented attitude. But the car's also subtle, ith little more than a gold stripe running along its flanks and a blacked-out tail panel to advertise that this is something truly special. A few bright chrome pieces that have been nicely refinished and you end up with one of the best-looking Mustangs of all time.With high-back buckets and a console, his Mustang's interior is both functional and comfortable. The Mach 1 was designed to straddle the luxury/performance market, nd nowhere is that more apparent than inside. The seats are sporty with correct Comfort-Weave seat covers front and rear, nd fastbacks have always been practical cars with their fold-down rear seats. The wood appliques on the doors, ash, nd console warm up the monochromatic interior, nd while the wheel isn't stock, he wood rim looks right in the vintage pony car. Round gauges enhance the sporting flavor of the Mustang, nd the T-handle Hurst shifter bangs through the gears with real authority, et comes back for more every time. A factory AM radio keeps everything very factory-correct, o you know the restorer's vision was of an authentic Mach 1 without any excuses.The S-code 390 cubic inch V8 was rebuilt just a few months ago and runs superbly today. During the build it was treated to an .030-inch overbore, ut the rest of the specifications are stock-as if an engine making 320 horsepower and 427 pounds of torque needs any help. With a nice coat of Ford Blue on the block, factory air cleaner up top, nd reproduction decals, t looks extremely fresh and highly correct, ight down to the reproduction Autolite battery. Long-tube headers and an Edelbrock carb are the only major modifications, ut the way this one sounds exhaling through a pair of Flowmasters, ou'll forgive them for making that particular choice. The 4-speed manual transmission feels indestructible as you run it through its paces, nd the 3.25 gears with Trac-Lok limited slip are a nice balance between acceleration and highway cruising. Magnum 500 wheels and 235/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials complete the look.One of the most desirable early Mustangs, his Mach 1 will be the envy of every Mustang guy at the next cruise night. Few are better looking and with big block power, obody will be smiling wider than the driver. Call today!
