1969 Ford Mustang 1969-1973

This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I 428 Cobra Jet was built on January 8, 1969 and sold new by Elgin Motors of Toronto, Ontario. Reportedly registered in the province since new, this example shows 48k miles and was acquired by the selling dealer about a month ago. The car was repainted in Candyapple Red under previous ownership, and the interior is trimmed in red knit vinyl. Power is from a 428ci Ram Air V8 linked to a 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear end through a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. Options include a Sport Deck rear seat, Philco AM radio, and power front disc brakes. A new water pump and radiator were reportedly installed within the last three years. This Mach 1 is offered with an Elite Marti Report, a copy of its original build sheet, and clean Ontario registration. The car is said to have been repainted in its original Candyapple Red (2008-A) approximately 25 years ago. Exterior features include black and gold stripes, “Mach 1” graphics, front and rear spoilers, and a factory-optioned matte black hood. The seller reports that a handful of dents will be removed for the new owner. Silver steel wheels feature matching hubcaps and wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Stopping power is provided by factory-equipped power front disc brakes and rear drums. High-backed bucket seats are trimmed in red knit vinyl upholstery. Other interior features include red carpets, woodgrain dash panels and center console, and a Sport Deck rear seat. A Philco AM radio and passenger-side dash-mounted clock are equipped. Photos of a crack in the dashboard are available in the gallery below. The 5-digit odometer shows 48k miles, 300 of which were added by the seller. The 428ci Cobra Jet V8 is paired with a 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission and is said to retain its factory Ram Air system, emissions equipment, stamps, and decals. A new water pump and radiator were reportedly installed within the last three years, while other work carried under previous ownership reportedly included replacement of the exhaust and ignition coil. The seller states that the transmission needs to be resealed and the shifter bushings could use replacement. Seepage is noted from the front timing cover and oil pan gasket, as is an occasional drip from the Traction-Lok rear differential. Corrosion is present near the fronts of the frame rails. The Elite Marti report shows that this car was completed on January 8, 1969, and lists original delivery at Elgin Motors of Toronto. A laminated copy of the original build sheet and factory literature are included in the sale.
