1969 Ford Mustang

1969 Ford Mustang





In 1969, Ford introduced a limited production model to the Mustang line. The Boss 429 was the most expensive and most powerful Mustang ever produced to that time. The 1969 Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet Coupe was offered for sale at the 2006 RM Auction held in Monterey, California. This car is powered by a 428 cubic-inch engine with 735 cfm 4-V Holley, R-Code. The transmission is a C-6 with Detroit Locker. The Mach 1 was a new model for 1969 nearly five years into the iconic Pony Car's lifecycle and was the first Ford-development which didn't involve Carroll Shelby. In 1969, some 72,458 Mach 1s were sold. There were 299,036 examples of the 1969 Mustang. 131,819 were non-Shelby Sportsroof cars. Of those, 10,130 were built with the 428-4V Ram Air engine. 5,853 of those came with 4-speeed manual transmissions. Ford introduced the Mach 1 in 1969, which took over as the top performance production Mustang.





In the late 1960s, Ford developed a new 429 cubic-inch V8. In 1969 the muscle car wars were in full swing. A wide variety of performance enhancements were available from nearly all of the manufacturers. This Ford Mustang was one of three Boss 302s built by Kar Kraft and prepared by Shelby for the 1969 Trans-Am season. This was the second of three examples constructed. Tasca Ford, known for their involvement with Ford Performance during the 1960s, was also involved with the Trans Am road race series. This 1969 Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet 428 is finished in Candy Apple Red with a white interior. It has a numbers matching 'R' Code Ram Air engine, a shaker hood, Top Loader 4 speed transmission, and an upgraded 3.91 Drag Pack rear axle. In the late 1960's the horsepower wars were in full swing. With Chrysler offering their Hemi-head 426, Ford was clearly outgunned on the NASCAR race tracks. This Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback was given a three-year nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. It has a professionally built R-Code 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine mated to a four-speed transmission. This car was raced by Mike Pustelny in NHRA Super Stock class during the 1970s and 1980s. The Mustang is a multiple record-holder in the NHRA Super Stock SS/J class.





It will recognize you by your phone if you鈥檙e using Phone as a key tech or by the key fob. Furthermore, SYNC will be able to understand natural language commands like 鈥淚鈥檓 cold鈥?or 鈥渇ind me a coffee shop along my route鈥?and is activated by the passphrase 鈥淥k Ford鈥? The Mach-E will also benefit from bumper to bumper over-the-air updates and will get better over time as new features get introduced. Standard with every Mustang Mach-E is a mobile charger that plugs into either a standard 120 V outlet or a more powerful 240 V outlet like the one your clothes dryer is hooked up to. On 120 V you get about 5 km of range an hour, jumping significantly to 35 km an hour on a 240 V plug. Or you can get the optional Ford Connected charging station installed at your home. It鈥檚 a faster 48-amp charger capable of adding up to 51 km of range an hour. Ford will also give you access to the largest charging network in North America through Ford Pass boasting over 12,000 stations, which is over 35,000 plugs including DC fast chargers.





The DC fast chargers will charge the Mach-E at a max rate of 150 kW adding about 76 km in just 10 minutes. Standard range Mach-Es can go from 10 to 80 per cent charge in 38 minutes. There鈥檚 Whisper, Engage, and Unbridled. Each mode will alter power delivery and response, steering feel, lighting, sound, and graphical animations. Whisper is the calm and serene experience, Engage turns up the wick for a sporty, dynamic drive, and Unbridled as the name suggests unleashes all the performance the Mach-E has to offer. They鈥檝e even tuned the whine of the electric motor drawing inspiration from movies like Blade Runner and even Formula-E. We were taken for short rides in a mid-range Mach-E premium, and I can鈥檛 really say if I noticed too much of what they were talking about. If you鈥檝e driven an EV before the sound here isn鈥檛 all that different but you do a hear a slight warble in the background that gets deeper with speed.

1969 Ford Mustang

1969 Ford Mustang





The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced by Ford in August 1968 as a package for the 1969 model year. For consignment, a mere 2 owner since birth car, that has 98% of its original body panels. Only the front left quarter panel has been replaced. Sporting its original rocker boxes (a known problem area) and original floor pans, and extensive mechanical rebuilds of the engine, transmission, and 9鈥?rear, this is a turn key car that consigner states is very reliable. Silver Jade Poly in a respray covers the fine exterior of this classic. The obligatory matte black hood and scoop, front air foil, headlight surrounds, as well as fastback louvers, rear deck spoiler and taillight panel, create a fine mix of contrast to the Silver Jade. A belt line matte black 鈥淢ACH 1鈥?stripe starting at the back of the front wheel well and extending to the rear in perfect alignment and condition, is noted on both sides.





All chrome and brite work and bumpers are in excellent condition. 15 x 7 chrome Magnum wheels are attached at all 4 corners, and the car ends with 2 chrome tipped exhaust pipes, that put out a healthy growl. 63C Mach 1 buckets adorned with code 3A Mach 1 knitted vinyl in black with just a hint of a red horizontal stripe delineating the seat from the headrest portion are seen. Wood veneer, and black vinyl make up the door panels that flank the buckets. 2 buckets are in the back of the car, and the tops of which fold forward for a bit more cargo space in the trunk. Speaking of the trunk, which is also in excellent condition with plaid liner, are a space saver spare and an original jack. A center console houses a Hurst shifter, original AM radio, and heating and airflow levers. Nice wood veneer is within the 2 鈥渟woops鈥?creating driver and passenger sides of the dash.





Drivers side housing essential gauges, and passenger side a clock. Fronting the dash is a factory Rim Blow steering wheel with walnut inlay. A shout out to the headliner which actually has an interesting pattern affixed. A totally rebuilt and restored 351ci V8 sits inside a pristine engine bay. Correct blue block and air cleaner are seen, and a Holly 4-barrel with an aluminum intake replace the original coded 2-barrel. A 4-speed top loader manual transmission replaces the original 3-speed and pushes power to a 9鈥?3.00 geared rear. Making it very easy to spot a good restoration, the underside presents beautifully. Original floor pans, and rocker boxes, and new disc brakes on front. Not original in the true sense of the word, however new parts replace the originals in key areas, so one now has added reliability. Beautiful color combination, and very nice interior combine to beckon you to sit in and go for a ride. Careful, it may be hair raising, but it will definitely be eventful and impressive! Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 300 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles. Also, a 400 vehicle barn find collection is on display. This vehicle is in our showroom in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, conveniently located just 1-hour west of Philadelphia on the I-76 Pennsylvania Turnpike.





It is said that special cars come along once in a lifetime, but for the owner of this 1969 Mustang Mach 1, it has happened twice. He bought the car off the original owner back in the late 1990s but decided to sell it in 2007. In 2010 he had the option to buy it back, and this was an option that he chose to exercise. He has now decided once again to part with this Raven Black beauty, which is located in Woodruff, South Carolina. 37,100, the reserve hasn鈥檛 been met. When you look at the overall stunning condition of the Mach 1, it is hard to believe that it still wears its original Raven Black paint, but the owner does make that claim. If it is true, and I certainly don鈥檛 see any indications to the contrary, then it has survived remarkably well. The red decals offer a fantastic contrast and give the car a handsome but extremely tough look. The owner claims that the paint isn鈥檛 perfect, but it certainly looks good in the supplied photos.

They will be happy to answer any questions you may have, give you a complete walk-around, and in the process, supply you with the most detailed description of the vehicle. Documented Real 'S' Code 390 V8 ! For Ford Mustang, 1969 Was A Year Of Radical Styling Changes. Probably More Sheet Metal Changed Between 1968 And 1969 Than In All Of The Preceding Years. The Cars Grew In Length As Well As In Performance. By Adding 4 Inches To The Body, It Was The Longest Mustang Built Up To That Time. The Front-End Styling Featured Quad Headlamps, With The High-Beam-Only Center Lamps Relocated To The Outboard Edges Of The Grille. The Rear Exterior Somewhat Resembled The Concave Style Of 1968. The SportsRoof, However, Had A Spoiler Built Into The Deck Lid And Quarter-Panel Extensions. High Performance Was The Theme For Ford In 1969 With The Sizzling Mach I Being Among The Line-Up.

This is a consignment vehicle and the information above was provided by the current owner. We can make no guarantees as to the accuracy of the above information. However, please understand as with all pre-owned automobiles, the described condition is subjective .





Finally, we have the Mach-E GT, the last of the Mach-E range to arrive. It will hit the streets in spring of 2021. Like the Mustang that bears the same name, the Mach-E GT promises sporty performance, with 459 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque on tap, routed through an AWD-only powertrain. The Mach-E GT will only be available with the larger ER battery pack, but its greater performance means the targeted range will be 235 miles or so. Ford plans to offer two versions of the Mach-E GT: The standard model will target a 60-mph time of less than four seconds, while a GT Performance Edition aims for a mid-three-second zero-to-60 run. Despite the differences in acceleration, Ford says both versions of the Mach-E GT get the same horsepower and torque figures. The Mach-E GT also gets Brembo's new Flexira aluminum calipers, while the GT Performance Edition gains MagneRide adaptive damping.

1969 Ford Mustang

1969 Ford Mustang





Imagine Ford, buoyed by the Le Mans success of the GT40 beginning in 1966, decided to take on Ferrari in the showroom in addition to the track. How would a fastback 鈥?9 Mustang look if it morphed to the proportions of the world-beating, mid-engine GT40? Retired engineer Terry Lipscomb wanted to find out. After they tried various vent, intake, and quarter-window shapes, Mike and Terry honed in on a GT40-inspired design they felt evoked the original essence of the Mach 1 Mustang. This is how they did it. The GT40 got its name from the FIA-mandated minimum height of 40 inches. After dropping the roof and sinking the windshield into the cowl, the Mach 40 stands at just a touch over 43 inches tall. Close enough for us. Whether it was Terry Lipscomb鈥檚 original vision, Mike Miernik鈥檚 rendering, the tremendous sheetmetal work that Colton Hardison and the crew at Eckert鈥檚 Rod & Custom put in, or a combination of all three, the lines look good from every angle. That isn鈥檛 something you can say about many cars that have been modified to this extent, especially cars from this era.





The iconic design of the Mustang fastback has been so deeply ingrained in us that cutting one up to this degree should surely set off alarms when what we expect to see and what鈥檚 actually before our eyes don鈥檛 match. Despite the shorter nose and the stretched quarter-panels, the Mach 40 still looks like a Mustang from every angle. Now it鈥檚 just lower, wider, meaner, and more compelling. Before any of you jump to conclusions about the intended purpose of this car, know that it never once saw a trailer during our visit to photograph the car for this feature. As you can see from the wet ground, shop owner Dave Eckert wasn鈥檛 afraid to drive the Mach 40 in the wet Pacific Northwest elements. In this part of the country, you either drive your car in the rain or you don鈥檛 drive it at all. Dave has built a number of cars to this high standard, and they do get driven. Don鈥檛 be surprised if you see the Mach 40 on Power Tour this year. I had to combine the early Mustang heritage and theme with the modern stance driven by the running gear. Is this car firing on all eight? Here鈥檚 the score from a poll of HOT ROD readers, 1 piston is the worst score, 8 is the best.

Ford has promised that its new electric crossover is coming soon with 300 miles of driving range. Ford is planning to release a new all-electric crossover with styling inspired by the Mustang. It could possibly wear the name Mach E and is expected to have a driving range of 300 miles on a single charge. It's no secret that Ford is working on a new electric crossover, with a styling assist from the Mustang. Allegedly, it puts enough of an emphasis on performance that the name Mach 1 was briefly considered (and quickly dropped due to backlash). Now that all its fuel-efficient passenger cars are exiting stage left, Ford needs to prove that it is still committed to greenery. And it's crucial that this new EV be desirable, hence the grafted-on Mustang heritage. Ford has a plan to eventually migrate all global products onto five vehicle architectures. This crossover will use one of these: a dedicated EV platform designed from the outset to accommodate a battery pack. So far, all Ford has promised is a driving range of 300 miles on a charge, which will likely mean a 100.0-kWh battery, the size that's in a Tesla Model S Long Range. Two electric motors, one up front and one in the rear, should be on hand to provide all-wheel drive. This new model will aim at currently available EVs such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Kia Niro EV, along with the upcoming Tesla Model Y crossover scheduled to go on sale next year. Ford has dabbled in this field with low-range attempts such as the Focus Electric and the Energi plug-in hybrids, but it will be arriving late to the long-range-EV party. If the Mach E's gestation continues for much longer, the pace of the market's evolution means it could end up being uncompetitive by the time it arrives.

Here is a short history of the little engine that saved Ford. Overhead cam design moved the "cam", the mechanisms that drives the valve and pistons within the cylinder heads, above the combustion chambers, instead of below. While the mechanism is somewhat more complex, it makes the combustion more efficient by injecting more directly, and the overall reciprocating portions of the engine is less and thus less vibration is generated. Double Overhead Cam uses two separate cams per bank of cylinders, one for intake and one for exhaust. The original Duratec was a 2.5L V6, now known as Duratec 25. Introduce in 1994 for the 1995 Mondeo, it is a 2544 cc 60 degree V6. For a V6, it is a very small one, esp. Ford, but it is a very high tech engine for the time. It has double overhead cam (DOHC) and 4 valves per cylinder, generating 160 HP. For a V6, it can go to quite high RPMs: 6750 RPM is the redline.
