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 big block Cobra Jet V8 with A/C, tach, and plenty of other options.The Mach 1 was the perfect canvas to showcase Ford's refreshed Mustang for 1969. The body was stretched to have a meaner street presence, and this new premium package was not shy about its prowess. The Mach 1s looked ready for the track with standard hood pins and flat black hood paint to reduce glare for the driver. This one is optioned with the desirable (and functional) shaker hood. Mach 1 coupes were automatically given the striking SportsRoof fastback body and chrome wheel package, but true mean machines like this were then upgraded with the sporty rear window louvers as well as front and rear spoilers. The Royal Maroon paint is a factory correct color, but the reason why it looks so good today is because it's a modern professional application that takes advantage of the added luster a modern clearcoat brings. It's a deeper tone than the Candyapple Red that was also available, so it's a more sophisticated appearance that better blends with the black elements. Plus, these darker hue really make the yellow Mach 1 sports stripe standout nicely.The Mach 1 was the most expensive Mustang model aside from the Shelby line, so Ford made sure that buyers got their money's worth in the 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 wood appearance on the Rim-Blow deluxe steering wheel coordinates with the paneling on the dash, console, and doors, which all adds to the upscale ambiance of the Mach 1. The Mustang's famously long options list meant the first owner loaded this car even further by ticking the box for items such as a tachometer, power steering, power brakes, and AM 8-track radio (yes, even that 60s gem is still in this coupe!) While this all helps it feel like sitting in a comfy time machine, one upgrade will make you very happy. The factory air conditioner was converted to modern R134a, so it's easy to stay cool in your cool Mach 1.This is an R-code Mustang, which means the big block 428 cubic-inch V8 with ram air is under the hood. Engines from this era were famously underrated, so the impressive 335 hp advertised by the factory was really pushing a mind-blowing 400+ hp. It is mated to a stout Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission, and it is sent to the road via Ford's Traction-Lok limited slip differential running a 3.00 ratio. The combination of the Mach 1 package and this big engine further sweetened the deal by automatically getting upgraded to Ford's HD competition suspension. This beefed up the front spindles, shocks, shock towers, and anti-roll bar to make sure that this Mustang could handle the extra muscle. Ford even upgraded the package with the sport exhaust with quad tips (everything can be verified in the detailed Marti report included with the car.) The cherry on top of this coupe is that all this power can be kept in check thanks to the optional front disc brakes.There is a lot of 'Wow' factor in this big block Mustang Mach 1. This is the kind of pony car that turns a crowd into a stampede to see a thoroughbred. Call today!!!
