There are plenty of 1969 Mustangs currently for sale online, but the owner of this particular example claims his car deserves your attention. That's because it boasts a rare mix of original parts, a working engine, and an interior in pretty good shape.
Purchased new in Worcester, Massachusetts, this Mustang has spent the last four decades on the side of the road, as it’s been sitting waiting for someone to restore it.
The current owner says they bought the car in 1995 when it was already parked for 14 years. Since then, it’s been stored in a garage until now when they finally decided to replace a series of parts, including the fuel tank, the fuel pump, and the filters.
The tank had 40-year-old gas inside, and the seller says it was still good, as it caught on fire and “burned and did not smell.”
The car is complete, they say, and except for several parts that have already been replaced, everything is still there in working condition. “The radio works even with a super-little broken antenna,” they say.
The interior looks good, though we wouldn’t necessarily say it comes in mint condition. Still, more good news comes from the part under the hood.
The Mustang is equipped with a 351W 2-bbl engine paired with an automatic transmission, and according to the owner, it still starts and runs without any smoke or knocks.
At first glance, quite a lot of people would like to take this Mustang back home and restore it to factory specifications, which given the car is almost complete, shouldn’t be too hard. The good news is this Mustang doesn’t come with a huge amount of rust, and the body still looks pretty solid even after spending 40 years on the side of the road.
This is the reason nearly 40 bids have already been received as part of the eBay auction started by seller kars_specializing_in_subaru_repair181. While the price has already reached $16,100, the reserve is yet to be met.
