For sale is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1.  I have owned for 20 years.  It has all the original panels and had a complete rotisserie restoration about 8 years ago. This car originally came from Georgia in the mid 80's so had very little rust which has all been professionally repaired. This is an original very rare 1969 Champane Gold Mach 1 with a 351 Windsor and a manual transmission. Over $19,000 was spent on parts which I have receipts for. All wearable parts were replaced.  After it was completed it won several first place awards at local shows.  The body had about 75,000 miles on it before it was restored. The odometer was set back to zero when everything was rebuilt. It has about 6,000 miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. 

I am the owner of a Mustang restoration business and this is my personal car.  Our website is "Mustangcraftsmen.com".  There are more pictures of the car on that site.  I am also a mechanical engineer and a Master Certified Ford Service Manager. This car was restored as a driver and the chassis is painted with POR 15 which is not concourse correct but provides a durable coating for a driven car and seals out rust.  All internal seams have been rustproofed.  The engine is original and numbers matching. The original manual transmission has been replaced with a Tremec T5 5-speed. The 5 speed conversion and hydraulic clutch cost over $5,000.00. There are some minor modifications to make the car easier to drive and improve power which can be removed if desired. I have been a judge for several Mustang shows and have noticed a lot of '69 Mustang's for sale are not detailed correctly, however this one is.

The following is a list of pertinent information.

Body- All original panels, media blasted and repainted in it's original Champagne Gold in base with clear coat, rotisserie nut and bolt restoration, front spoiler, rear wing, rear window louvers, LED sequential tail lights, Magnum 500 wheels..

Engine - Original 351 W bored .030 over, larger valves, hand ported heads, comp cams extreme energy cam (gives increased power but retains a smooth idle), Pertronix ignitor, Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor with electic choke, Edelbrok aluminum intake manifold, short Headman headers, Dynomax mufflers and a larger radiator designed for an AC car (avoids overheating).

Transmission - Tremec T5 5-speed, Hurst shift handle, Centerforce clutch and hydraulic clutch mechanism.

Rear Axle - Original 9 inch rebuilt with Ford traction loc, 3.25:1 ratio.

Suspension - All new with grease fittings, larger front sway bar, rear sway bar added and KYB gas shocks.

Interior - All vinyl and carpeting replaced, new chrome plating of plastic on dash and clock bezel (cost $500), modern CD player and stereo (can be replaced with original radio if desired), tachometer on column, and bolt in door glass.

I restored this car to be a reliable driver and it has been driven enough to get all the problems resolved. I have taken it on several 300 mile trips.  This is a 9 out of 10 car.  This was restored to be enjoyed and used as a driver and not a concours show car.  There are minor imperfections in the paint and it shows the use of being driven on summer weekends for the past several years. It could be brought to concours level but would require more detailing.  I rebuilt this to drive and not have to be trailered everywere.  This is a reliable classic Mustang that turns heads but does not require constant repairs like many other classic cars.  When it is stored for the winter it starts right up every spring and is ready to go.  The 5 speed transmission is a joy to drive, the 351 is much faster than stock, and the exhaust has a deep tone without being too loud. 

If you would like any more information please email me at beardpa@aol.com or call Paul at 989-860-3948. I also have a car trailer and would consider delivering the car a reasonable distance for an additional fee.
