- coupe 72,886 yellow automatic
No stories, no excuses, no nonsense with this impressive 1969 mustang mach 1. The details: matching-numbers 428 cobra jet. Meadowlark yellow. 100% ready to rock. Authentic mach 1 details include the blacked-out hood with scoop, front and rear spoilers, and rear window slats, not to mention the black and yellow graphics along the sides and surrounding the taillights. The chrome, stainless, and mach 1-specific badges are all in good shape, too. And the combination of the soft color and massive performance is just too cool. The interior is correctly restored, too, featuring black comfort-weave buckets with red stripes, just as when it was new. It shows a few signs of use, but overall it's quite impressive with no rips or tears, correct red floor mats, and a center console. Ford's mission for the mach 1 was to be both luxurious and sporty, so options like factory a/c (system works but could use a top-off on the refrigerant) and lots of woodgrained appliques give it a more mature look and feel. The gauges are probably original, but they look great in the deeply-set round pods that house each one, and the 72,886 miles shown are authentic. The am radio and automatic transmission make this car easy to live with, and perhaps more closely matches the luxury/performance mission ford envisioned for the mach 1. Fold-down rear seats also make the mach 1 sportsroof surprisingly practical, and the trunk is nicely finished with a correct mat and spare tire with cover. It's also surprisingly smooth and torquey, again befitting the mach 1's split personality. The engine bay is nicely detailed, a result of a high-quality restoration in 2001, and it hasn't been driven much since then. The carburetor is an aftermarket holley 4-barrel, there's an msd ignition system, and an aluminum radiator up front, but beyond that, it's quite stock, from the air cleaner showing original decals to stock exhaust manifolds feeding a rumbling flowmaster dual exhaust system.
