We're excited to present this amazing, highly original Mach 1 for your consideration. Our client purchased this Mustang in 1979 and has kept the car in highly original condition. Being that it's in highly original condition the paint is not perfect, the interior shows a little wear on the seats, and there are a couple small cobwebs on the underside of the car. But, it's not everyday that you find a well preserved 1969 Mach 1 in such original condition, which has just a tick over 85k original miles on the odometer. On top of being highly original, the car also has the original broadcast sheet.
Still finished in the original paint color of Wimbledon White (code M5) the car has all the correct trim, and all chrome shows nicely. The paint itself shows age, which gives this car character. There are spots that have been touched up, and some knicks here and there, but there's no denying that it's the original color. 51 years of enveloping the lines of this Mach 1 and the age in the paint is honest - no respray or restoration here. The body panels are believed to be all original - our client believes he is the third owner of the car, and no body panels were replaced while the car was in his care.
Correct Red interior trim looks great, and like the exterior does show some age but like the exterior, the interior is highly original. The interior features wood veneer, a wood rimmed three spoke steering wheel, Philco AM/FM radio, T-Handle automatic transmission shifter, and dashboard mounted analog clock. Under the hood is the original 351ci V8 mated to the original 3 speed automatic transmission. This hunk of iron is a 351 Windsor - with the telltale signs of 6 bolt valve covers, and the radiator hose and thermostat being connected to the intake manifold. Vehicle maintenance has been important to our client, and we have a stack of maintenance receipts from years and years of vehicle maintenance. This special car has surely been well maintained over the years and is a pleasure to drive down the road.
One family owned for the past 41 years, a 351 Windsor under the hood, original build sheet, and an awesome color combination make this car one to consider for your collection. Not to mention it is a first year Mach 1 which have gained more attention in the collector market recently. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main website: Garage Kept Motors.
