1969 FORD MUSTANG MACH ONE

There was another major restyling of the Mustang in 1969 and many consider it one of the most dramatic of any of the changes. The Mach 1 was designed as the Performance Oriented Mustang for 1969 and definitely looked the part.  It is one of those cars that looks like it is going 100mph just sitting still. It definitely looks lower, wider and meaner.

This is a perfect example. I sold a very nice Mach 1 to a gentleman in Oregon who put it in a car show. The award he won was “The car most likely to get a speeding ticket”!  These Mach’s just have that “Bad Boy” look about them. 

I FIRST SOLD THIS PARTICULAR MACH FOR A GENTLEMAN IN HOUSTON WHO HAD OWNED IT FOR AROUND 6 YEARS. IT WAS A CAR THAT WAS ONLY DRIVEN ON NICE SUNNY DAYS,OTHER WISE IT WAS GARAGE AND CARED FOR. HE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A TENNIS PRO WHO LIVED IN THE AUSTIN AREA. THAT OWNER WOULD ALSO DRIVE IT TO TEACH TENNIS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS NICE. THIS MAN OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR. THE AUSTIN OWNER SAID HE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO LIVED IN OKLAHOMA. THE BODY ON THE CAR IS EXTREMELY NICE AND ORIGINAL. TO ME THIS COLOR COMBINATION IS FANTASTIC AND REALLY COMPLIMENTS THE LINES OF THE CAR ALL THE CODES ON THE DOOR TAG MATCH SO IT WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE WITH RED MACH STRIPE AND RED INTERIOR, WITH AUTOMATIC 351 V/8 WITH 3:00 GEARS AND 9 INCH REAR END AND OPTIONAL FOLD DOWN REAR SEAT.

I THEN SOLD THIS GOOD LOOKING MACH TO A GENTLEMAN OVER A YEAR AGO, IT WAS GOING TO BE A FATHER /SON PROJECT. UNFORTUNAELY IT TURNED OUT TO BE JUST A FATHER PROJECT. THE DAD WAS ACTUALLY A CAMARO GUY, BUT HIS SON LOVED THE MACH SO HE BOUGHT IT FOR THEM TO WORK ON TOGETHER. BELOW IS A LIST THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH MONEY HE RECENTLY SPENT ON THE CAR TO MAKE IT A BETTER DRIVING AND BETTER LOOKING CAR THAN WHEN HE BOUGHT IT. THE LIST ACTUALLY DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE TO THE CAR.

AFTER I SOLD THIS CAR ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO, I VERY QUICKLY RECEIVED AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF EMAILS AND TELEPONE CALLS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAD WISHED THEY HAD ACTED FASTER! CALL OR EMAIL ME FOR SOME VERY SPECIAL INFO ABOUT SOME INCREDIBLY INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS MACH ONE.

Here is a list of what HAS BEEN done to the car:
