Now that Ford is expected to revive the Mach 1 for the 2021 model year Mustang (this should replace the GT350), the time has come to take a dive into the past of this performance label. And the 1969 pony sitting before us will allow us to do just that.
The said year was the first for the Mach 1, with the Mustang being in the midst of a transition to big-block muscle at the time. Of course, this type of engine was optional and while it's not featured on this example, you should know the machine is animated by the optional 351ci (5.8-liter) Cleveland V8.
Back in the day, the Mach 1 allowed customers to choose between the automatic (three-speed) and the manual path (three- or four-speed) and the unit we have here comes in two-pedal form.
The muscle toy, which is now up for grabs, as you'll notice in the gallery, has received a thorough restoration, with this including the frame, as well as a rebuild for its factory motor (think: AFR aluminum cylinder heads).
The body knows no rust, while the description of the vehicle mentions that this "stops, steers, and drives as it should", coming with a clean California title.
Taking a peek into the cabin (make sure to use the swipe feature of the Insta post), we notice the visual effect of the brand new interior.
As for the financial side of this Blue Oval equation, the 'Stang is listed at $45,000.
PS: If you happen to be looking for a piece of info that might come in handy on some leisure day with other aficionados, you'll be reminded that the solid sales of the Mach 1 meant the Mustang GT was discontinued after the 1969 model year, with the two-letter badge remaining hidden until 1982.
