1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 on 2040-cars
Anahuac, Texas, United States
I bought this car in late 2018 as a low mileage “Barn Find”. I was planning to do a full restoration, but I moved out with my job and need to sell it.
This car was built on March 4, 1969, and is an original candy apple red, 4-speed, shaker hood, R-code 428 Cobra Jet
car. It has many original factory parts including, sheet metal, toploader transmission, glass, rear shocks &
springs, etc. Original factory paint daubs can be seen on leaf springs & the drive shaft. The block and heads are
not original; there is no VIN on the block which is date coded for May 1969, and the heads are date coded for June
1969. The original intake is date coded at February 4, 1969. It currently has a Hurst shifter. The interior is in
very good condition. The front seats do not have the Mach 1 red stripe insert, but date codes on the seat tags are
correct to the build date of the car. There is no corrosion at the inner fender-shock tower interface as seen on
many vintage Mustangs. While the Marti report does not indicate that the car came from the factory with a tach dash
and Traction-Lok rear-end, it has both; the date code on the tach dash circuit board is correct at January 29,
1969. VINs are present on both front inner fender aprons, window tag, door tag, and toploader transmission. The
rear window louvres are Ford period correct as they have the numbered louvres.
The car runs great

Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body
Thu, 07 Nov 2013We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
