1969 Mach One. Original R code 428 cobra jet car. Motor is a date coded correct 69 block, with correct cobra jet heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds and other correct internal components such as 1U cobra jet crank and rods. Correct replacement C9AF-9510 U carburetor was recently rebuilt. Motor and C-6 transmission have undergone complete extensive and costly rebuild. All other engine components such as water pump, alternator, belts hoses, radiator are new within the last three hundred miles. The gell cell battery is one year old. New factory style 2 1/4 aluminized exhaust was installed approximately four months ago. Scott drake rolled tip quad exhaust tips were used. Car has recently been restored with stunning correct factory candy apple paint, with black out hood treatment. Many new parts including complete new interior including upholstery, head liner, carpet, dash, door panels, woodgrain, trim, and restoration to all other interior components. Other new parts include: Wind shield, weather stripping (all),custom 69 style steel wheels that I ordered in 15x8 for the rear and 15x7 for front. I wanted a stock look but a wheel size that would accommodate a larger tire. New radial T/A tires are 255/60/15 in rear 245/60/15 in front. The car has been lowered one inch front and rear and as you can see in the pictures has a nice low stance. The rear axle has been rebuilt within the last 200 miles. A new traction loc 3.50 differential, gears, pinion, and all bearings are new. Axle was set up so the pinion u-joint can be removed without messing up the clearances on the pinion gear. Rear springs, shocks, bushings are all new. Nearly all of the components of this car were replaced or restored over the last five years with the exception of the front steering and suspension. the imperfections: The front steering is a little sloppy. the steering box was rebuilt a few years ago, and I am including a complete front end rebuild kit including all tie rod ends, A-arms, bushings ball joints etc. I purchased this kit just a few months ago anticipating a front end rebuild but this will now go with the car. The stock oil pressure and temp gauges are not connected. I wanted a reliable set of oil and temp gauges when I fired the new motor so I installed a set Auto Meter Pro Comp aircraft style that look nice too. Auto trans shifter is a little sloppy, just needs some linkage work. The left front tire rubs the valance slightly when backing up and turning. I hadn't decided yet to go with 235 size tires to fix this or have the valance modified. Car comes with touch up paint from the original batch. There are a couple of faint scratches, one on the front left fender, and one on the left rear quarter. Not really noticeable and probably easily repaired. I had no plans to do anything with them as they are not very noticeable. The Mach One stripes only go back to the rear wheel wells. This is a look that I preferred and didn't have the set added behind the wheels. However I do have them from the original set and they go with the car. The car has spent no time outside and these will still match perfectly when the new owner decides to have them installed. Original working radio with new reproduction Scott Drake knob set is included but not installed. Trunk weather seal is new but needs to be installed, Door edge weather seals are new but need to be installed. (I prefer the car with out them as the doors shut nicely this way) All gauges, speedo, lights blinkers, flashers, etc work. The list of new items and work done to this car is difficult to remember. There is not much on this car that hasn't been replaced or restored within the last three hundred miles. For the buy it now price, (and only the buy it now price) I will include brand new correct reproduction rear window louvers, brand new reproduction front and rear spoilers, Brand new reproduction 15x8 and 15x7 magnum 500 wheel kit that includes correct chrome lug nuts and pony caps. This way you can have the full spoiled and louvered look if you like. Marti Report shows this car to have been delivered with 428 4V cobra jet ram air, C-6 cruise o matic, 350 standard axle, f 70 raised white letter tires, AM radio, Tinted Glass. It has the deluxe interior with wood grain and I think this was standard in a 69 Mach One. Sold at Dusty Rhodes Ford, in Elizabeth-town Kentucky. I will post pictures of the interior when I get time, but it is pretty much all new. Picture of Marrti report to come as well Trades that may interest me: 67 fastback S code, restomod or niecely restored classic Bronco, 77 bronco project of any kind, 67 to 69 firebird 400 convertible. 69 GTO convertible, 64 impala SS convertible. There is much more to tell about this car I am sure. I have only recently decided to offer it for sale and may only be on Ebay for a short time.
