1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 0 Cranberry Red Coupe 390 CID V8 4-Speed Manual

For sale in our Chicago showroom is a show quality 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. This red over black beauty has had a complete restoration and oh boy does it show. After the Mustang debuted on April 17, 1964 it was a huge success and became an automotive icon. The front and rear fascia received minor changes after 1966 and by 1969 Mustang was producing some of the most eye-appealing vehicles ever and this is one.

In the fall of 1968 Mustang debuted the Mach 1 which featured a mouthy grill, twin set headlamps and beautiful lines that turned this "Pony" car into more of a muscle car of the time. The interior did not disappoint and featured attractive, knitted vinyl sports bucket seats, molded door panels, center console and twin pod instrumentation panel. The interior of this fine example has received the same high level of meticulous restoration as the rest of the car and looks like the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

Under the matte black striped hood you will see a period correct 390 cubic inch V8 that starts easy and let's you know this Mustang means business. Though originally equipped with a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission the owner of this beauty opted for a 4-speed manual replacement at the time of restoration that allows you to precisely time your shifts and get this showpiece up to speed without hesitation. This car is not only a pleasure to look at and admire but is a thrill to take down the open road.

Since restoration and complete rebuild of the engine this car has been tested and tuned but only driven approximately 20 miles to local shows and is ready to breathe new life into any mundane lifestyle. The Cranberry Red paint was refreshed and in lieu of the original red upholstery this one was finished with a beautifully contrasting black interior for a very desirable color scheme. If that sound of a Ford 390 get's your blood flowing and you desire a completed car with all work done to a high level this Pony belongs in your garage.
