1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 For Sale #115698

1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 For Sale #115698





2 buckets are in the back of the car, and the tops of which fold forward for a bit more cargo space in the trunk. Speaking of the trunk, which is also in excellent condition with plaid liner, are a space saver spare and an original jack. A center console houses a Hurst shifter, original AM radio, and heating and airflow levers. Nice wood veneer is within the 2 鈥渟woops鈥?creating driver and passenger sides of the dash. Drivers side housing essential gauges, and passenger side a clock. Fronting the dash is a factory Rim Blow steering wheel with walnut inlay. A shout out to the headliner which actually has an interesting pattern affixed. Drivetrain A totally rebuilt and restored 351ci V8 sits inside a pristine engine bay. Correct blue block and air cleaner are seen, and a Holly 4-barrel with an aluminum intake replace the original coded 2-barrel. A 4-speed top loader manual transmission replaces the original 3-speed and pushes power to a 9鈥?3.00 geared rear. Undercarriage Making it very easy to spot a good restoration, the underside presents beautifully. Original floor pans, and rocker boxes, and new disc brakes on front. Not original in the true sense of the word, however new parts replace the originals in key areas, so one now has added reliability. Beautiful color combination, and very nice interior combine to beckon you to sit in and go for a ride. Careful, it may be hair raising, but it will definitely be eventful and impressive!





As time went on, the car's questionable reliability became an issue, but at least if it broke down you could sit and look at it while waiting for the tow truck. Take away the side pipes, doghouse hood scoop, and the aggressive hood decals, and you remember that the Corvette was a proper sports car. This 1964 convertible, with its split bumpers and knock-offs, bears the appeal of a classic European roadster. The V8 powerplant is a reminder of the car's red, white, and blue roots, but it sure cleans up nice. The Burke Rally is coming up next weekend, and hopefully I'll get to go check it out. As part of the event, they're raffling off this 1983 Jeep CJ. The Camaro lineup is ripe with performance options these days. The ZL1 is your all-out horsepower machine, the Z/28 is the track-focused racing machine, and then this car, the 1LE, is a sort of jack-of-all-trades. Sportier than the SS, but not as brash as the ZL1, the 1LE offers a bit of extra horsepower and slightly sharper handling qualities.





Outward visibility is still absent from the formula, but if you want a solid all-around muscle car, this might be your answer. This classic Suburban is the perfect family hauler. The sturdy 350 V8 is a rock-solid motor, and there's enough room inside the cabin to carry an entire NFL team. The rims are a mild custom touch, and those seats look like they might be swapped in from a newer vehicle, but otherwise this is a well-preserved old cruiser. For 1967, the Nova was a very conservatively-styled car, but in SS format it could take on pretty much anything. This car has new wheels and tires, along with some snappy graphics along the side. I can only hope it has air-conditioning, too. The E46 M3 has become the bargain sports car of choice in today's market, and thus it's become a common sight at Cars and Coffee. This one, though, stands out from the crowd.





I'm pretty sure that shade of orange is a BMW color, offered on the E92 M3 GTS and M3 Lime Rock Park Edition. It's a hard color to miss, and it works well here. Custom hood vents and aero parts further separate this car from its contemporaries. Also a bit of a standout is this 1972 El Camino. Lavender with flames is a bold look, but if ever there was a car that could make it work, it'd be an El Camino. The ever-so-shiny Cragar S/S rims complete the look. It's not exactly a low-key form of transportation, but the look is growing on me. Part of the Porsche posse that pulled in was this lovely little 914. It's the 4-cylinder version, known for its utter lack of horsepower, but the racing stripes and sporty rims say otherwise. The 914 is a quirky little car that gets mixed reviews from the auto world, but I for one think it's neat.





The styling is odd in the right ways, and the concept is a proven winner. The Fiero and MR2 utilize the same setup, but with enough horsepower to get results. Perhaps the 914 was just ahead of its time. I wish the BMW Z8 was less rare. It was a bigger, more powerful alternative to the lovable Z3, and it was downright beautiful. The design mimics the classic BMW 507 of the 1950's, and incorporates much of the classic look into a modern roadster. It was even a Bond car, featuring in The World is Not Enough. That said, they've become very uncommon lately, which is a shame. The 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback is a purebred muscle car. The electric motor that powers this example, though, is a stranger to the muscle car world. That said, if you're going to drive an electric car, it might as well be a good-looking one, and there are more than enough Mustangs laying around to serve as the donor vehicle.
