Some folks might look at this spectacular 1969 Mustang fastback and think it was nothing but a trailer queen. But checking the specsand#44; youll realize that not only is it beautifuland#44; but it has been built for combat thanks to a thundering 428 that will easily humiliate a lot of impressive hardware out on the street. With Boss 429s rapidly closing in on the quarter-million-dollar markand#44; its natural for hobbyists to gravitate towards the next best thing in big block Mustangs: the 428 Cobra Jet. This stunning Sportsroof is finished in luscious Torch Red paintand#44; making it the kind of car that you almost cant resist touching. And yesand#44; finish work was done to show standards and youd be forgiven for thinking this was nothing but a trailer queen. Gaps are excellentand#44; detailing is exceptionaland#44; and that paintand#44; welland#44; the photos just dont do it justice. For the proper lookand#44; theres a giant hood scoopand#44; but otherwise it was left devoid of add-ons and decals becauseand#44; honestlyand#44; 1969 is probably the best year for attractive Mustangs. This is exactly the kind of car you DONT mess with when you see it on the streetand#44; because you know if they spent this much getting the bodywork rightand#44; then theres surely a fortunes worth of performance underneathand#44; too. And youd be totally correct in that estimationand#44; because its nasty! The impressive work continues with the interiorand#44; which features original comfort-weave upholstery on the original high-back bucketsand#44; with a sliver of red stitched in for contrastand#44; just like the Mach 1. The fat wooden steering wheel works well with the simulated wood appliques on the dash and door panelsand#44; and you know any car with a Hurst cue ball means business. The original gauges monitor the upgraded engineand#44; and theres an AM/FM/cassette stereo from some distant pastand#44; but listening to the radio in this car is to totally miss the point. All the soft parts were installed in September 2015and#44; so its incredibly freshand#44; and even the trunk is lined with a reproduction mat that looks like they just took it out of the wrapper. You know the term cost no object? This is what it looks like in Mustang form. Originally powered by an M-code 351and#44; theres now a built 428 cubic inch V8 under the hoodand#44; which is actually a better choice for a street car than the deep-breathing Boss 429 unit. Bored .060 oversizeand#44; balanced and blueprintedand#44; its full of the good stuffand#44; yet looks show car sanitary with correct Ford Blue paint on the blockand#44; tons of chromeand#44; and framed by beautifully finished sheetmetal. Aluminum heads from Edelbrock work with an AED 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifoldand#44; making this engine grunt out considerably more than the originals 335 horsepower. The supporting cast is pretty impressiveand#44; tooand#44; featuring a gorgeous custom stainless steel exhaust system with an X-pipeand#44; a 4-speed transmissionand#44; and a 9-inch full of 3.50 gears on a Track-Lok. The chassis is incredibly well-detailedand#44; with the Torch Red tub offering a high-contrast backdrop to the satin black suspension parts and shiny gas tank. Obviouslyand#44; everything is newand#44; including bushingsand#44; shocksand#44; linesand#44; hosesand#44; and fastenersand#44; and even the 15-inch Magnums are freshand#44; wearing staggered 215/65/15 front and 235/60/15 rear BFG rubber. This is one of those cars with a lengthy list of equipmentand#44; so give us a call and well tell you all about it. This is an extremely impressive Mustang! Call now. |
