Mustang Beginnings

With the introduction of the Cobra Jet 428 in 1968, Ford had a real muscle car. The top of the line in 1969 was the 428 Cobra Jet with Ram Air in the form of a shaker hood scoop. With special striping, a blacked out hood and the new for '69 styling these Mustangs were an aggressive car with performance to back up that image. Available in every body style, the CJ found its most comfortable home in the Mach 1, a new fastback performance model with the name and image to complement the CJ's power and performance. Now is your chance to own one! The car is an absolute standout. This 1969 Mustang Mach 1 presents itself today much like it did when it rolled off the Metuchen assembly line on October 15, 1968. I have been personally restoring this car for almost 4 years. I used the best original parts available. Parts were sandblasted before painting. If I purchase parts, I bought "correct" parts wherever possible. I have a 1 year old boy and cannot devote any more time to finishing the car. The good news is the hard work is already done. This car needs a good home to finish off the very few last details or customize it to your liking. This car can even be driven while the remaining details are finished off! This car is a beast! The remaining items are a matter of personal preference. Items like the rims and tires are very much a personal decision and one of the easiest ways to change the look of a vehicle. A lot of people like the Mag 500s on their Mach 1s, some even like big rims and tires for that restomod look. I have a complete set of original seat belts that need restoring. You could also purchase new seat belts for piece-of-mind (new 3 point setups are also available. Items like the carburetor, shifter, and distributor are in 100% working order (the Pertronix ignition is better than a points system as it doesn't wear out), but not concourse correct. This car can be finished to be concourse correct, restomod, or anywhere in between! I have a clean California title in my name and the car is currently registered. I have a Marti report for the car as well. As you can see from the Marti report this car is very much like it was when it left the factory floor. It is an original 4 speed car!

To be sure there are no surprises, this is not a new car, but any defects you find, are all fixable.

Fairly complete car with lots of potential, but it has a salvage title, so it would be great for parts or if you didn't care about the salvage title, you could make this into a beautiful restomod.

A good rolling shell that can be used as a donor for a Boss or Mach 1 or even brought back to life as a cool Restomod. Very little rust with the correct floor pans for any 1970 Boss or Mach 1 restoration.

This is a rusty 1969 Mustang Convertible. The floor pans and frame rails are rusty (as they are on most Mustang Convertibles). However this is a pretty complete car ready for some rust repair!

A very complete 67 Convertible that was running when purchased, but it will need some rust repair. Probably floor pans and lower rear quarter repairl. Originally painted Dark Moss Green with a Manual Black Top and Glass Backlite. Equiped with a C-4 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic Transmission, AM Radio, and Ivy Gold Standard Bucket Seats. Fully restored, this car would easily sell for $26,000.

Great 65 convertible Project car. Needs new top. Needs rust work. Get ready for summer! No brakes.

Wow! Drag'n bottom. Obviously very rusty. Originally a 6 cylinder convertible painted Lime Gold with Ivy Gold Standard Bucket Seats. This car is a candidate for a complete remodel. Start with a complete under carriage replacement. Upgrade to Power Disk Brakes. Put in any desireable engine / transmission combination. Paint your favorite color and tun this Drag'n back into a real Mustang.
