1969 Ford Mustang S-Code Convertible
MotoeXotica is very excited to present a gorgeous and rarely seen 1969 Mustang S-Code Convertible that has been fully restored. This car is in immaculate condition and must be viewed first-hand to fully appreciate its overall condition, inside and out! Ordered on July 2, 1969, 18 days before man landed on the Moon, the car was scheduled to be built at Fordandrsquo;s Dearborn, Michigan factory on July 18 but instead was assembled three days earlier. It was released from the factory on July 23 and delivered to Northtown Ford (now Yonge-Steeles Ford-Lincoln) in Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, where it remained until sold on March 4, 1970. This car left the factory with the following options andndash; Lime Gold exterior paint (code I); black, all vinyl bucket interior trim (code 2A); black vinyl power convertible top with glass backlight; automatic XPL-type transmission; 3.00 non-locking rear axle; Visibility Light Group; E78x14 wide oval tires; center console; power steering; power disc brakes; AM radio; heavy-duty battery; and full wheel covers. In 1999, a Mr. Glowacki bought the car but it was far from factory fresh. Painted banana yellow with extensive airbrushing, it bore the nickname the Widowmaker. The car had been used as a drag racer during the 1970s and was well-known in area drag racing circles. Glowacki did not bring the car home until three years after he bought it, starting what became a long-term, full nut-and-bolt restoration project. Glowacki stored it for another four years, until 2006, while he accumulated the necessary parts to begin the restoration, including a period-correct 390 V-8 from Quandeacute;bec and a proper S-code intake from Columbus, Ohio. The replacement engine was rebuilt in 2004 and has a Holley carburetor. In the fall of 2006, he bartered a 1982 Puma in exchange for a professionalandrsquo;s skills to begin work on the car. The project car returned to storage then while Glowacki searched for a body shop. In 2012, the carandrsquo;s sheetmetal was massaged and the car was shot with Glowacki called a driver-quality paint job, all he wanted at that moment. In the autumn of 2013, Glowacki bumped into an old friend, Barry Bergmann, who is an expert at restoring 1969 and 1970 Mustangs. The pair worked together to decide what rebuild path the car should take. They sent the car to Moniz Auto Body in Taunton, Massachusetts, for a proper repainting; the Champagne Gold paint is now way beyond driver-quality, complete with a new power top and brought to an investor-quality finish. This car has a very tidy, still dry undercarriage with new and correct floorpan sheetmetal, front and rear. The car has new, whole rear quarter panels. Subframe connectors have been installed underneath, along with new suspension parts, new steering bits, dual exhausts with crosspipe connector, new brake lines, new emergency brake, new fuel line and new |
