1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback (RHD)

Ford's third generation Mustang was launched in 1969, with a body that was larger in every dimension although the wheelbase remained unchanged at 108-inches. With quad headlamps, a more sharply raked windscreen and slightly lowered stance, the 1969 Mustang certainly looked the part. The Mustang was still sold in three body styles - convertibles, hardtop coupes and fastbacks (albeit renamed the Sportsroof) and was available with an expanded range of engine/transmission combinations. Inside, the Mustang came in for the most dramatic reworking yet, with twin 'pods' and on cars specified with the Deluxe Interior Group there was plenty of simulated woodgrain, full instrumentation and clock. Combined with the brand new Mach 1 option, consisting of dual exhausts, steel wheels with raised lettering on the Goodyear Polyglas tyres, side stripes, matt black hood with simulated scoop and NASCAR-type pins(with "shaker" scoop optional), plus other body options like a black plastic chin spoiler, rear wing and rear window louvres. Inside there were high-back sports bucket seats as standard. Most Mach 1s were equipped with a 351-cid Windsor using either two or four-barrel carburettors, although big block 390 or 428-cid motors were available to order. For a lot of Mustangs fans, the '69 is one of the best looking years and the Mach 1 Sportsroof on offer here is one of the best all round packages available, combining great looks, plenty of performance and, best of all, is still relatively affordable.
