1969 FordMustang
Clean and subtly gorgeous describe this 1969 Mustang Fastback. It looks as beautiful as was intended in 1969 but has all the modern upgrades you’d want in a car that’s meant to be driven. The car began life as a 6-cylinder, so it’s definitely living its best life now!
The project started with getting all the metal solid, and then progressed to the rebuild using some of the best enhancements available. The power steering, four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, air conditioning, and Dakota Digital gauges are just a few of the upgrades that make this car so much fun to drive…the 420 horsepower EFI 347 Blueprint engine and Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission don’t hurt, either.
New metal includes torque boxes, rear frame rails, entire main floor pan, rear quarters, and rear taillight panel. All new metal was treated with rust preventer, seam sealed, and then primed. The body is very clean and solid. All vehicle wiring was replaced with American Autowire Classic Update Series Harness #510177. Engine and under dash wiring, along with suspension alignment/tuning and custom exhaust were all completed by a local professional restoration shop in Scottsdale, AZ. The final bodywork and stunning Ford Guard Metallic Green paint were completed by a professional body/paint shop in Mesa, AZ. Two document binders are included. One has all the installation/parts manuals for the build, the other has all associated receipts for the car. Videos and vehicle specifics are below.
