1969 Ford Mustang GT 351 Coupe - Burgundy original color w/black vinyl roof - Original wheels are included - I just liked the Mustang Chrome Mags. I purchased this car from the original owner. He purchased it for his wife in 1969 and she wasn't crazy about it. SHE DROVE LINCOLNS!! No brainer there! He drove it occasionally for years then let his adult daughter drive it for a while. They moved to Washington state and it sat in his heated garage for years. It has NEVER seen SNOW OR ETC...
When I bought the car I was told back in 2003 that the paint job was approx. 10 years old. They never painted inside the door jams or the hood. My dad would freak out if he ever heard this. He was a body man for over 60 years. It would be easy and inexpensive at this point to paint the whole vehicle as there really isn't a lot of body work to be done. This would skyrocket the value of this car as there are not many 69 GT Coupe's left in this good condition. I have it insured for $24,000. because that was the appraisal and I probably have more than that into it by now. With a new paint job this car should be worth double that. Everything is STOCK!!
This is a California car - 351 Windsor - GT gas cap - perfect vinyl roof - Factory Air conditioning w/tinted windows from the factory. New headliner with a small nick under passenger visor - may try to repair - vinyl seats are not ripped and in good condition - rugs are in excellent condition - no stains or odors (I think they were new when I purchased the car) - Stock AM radio - motor is stock and all original - shaker hood - bumpers original show some signs of age but really not bad - trunk fully lined with original vinyl and spare tire - no rot anywhere - small rust under battery box, have one and just haven't had time to remove it - one small rust spot bottom quarter panel.
The motor purrsand when you nail it she takes off -passing gear tight and slick. Will spin tires from a stand still. Classic muscle car. She still needs a few more things for an old lady but definitely great fun to drive and show off. Occasionally thereisa slight rap from one lifter every now and then, NO SMOKE AT ALL (add slick 50 and it stops). We have changed everything over to the new air conditioning but still need an evaporator. Once that is replaced the A/C will be complete. Runs cold and has been charged but it's leaking through the evaporator.
Since I purchased it I have done many improvements to make it more than a daily driver and it still needs a bit more. Here is a list of what I have done since 2003:
New Radiator - condenser - fan belt- blade and shroud
The factory Air conditioning has been rebuilt with all new
Timing gear - naturally after a new water pump
All new brakes including Rebuilt Power Booster and new tires
New gas tank -rebuiltpower steering pump - hoses and arms
New sending unit for the gas gauge - New horn ring - new shocks
Installed all new custom dual exhaust from manifold to 2 new tail pipes
All new wires - distributor cap - new coil - new ignition - alternator - rebuilt starter
Original valve covers and breather - professionally painted the proper color
SHIPPING ANYWHRE IN THE COUNTRY CAN BE DONE BUT IS THE BUYERS FULL RESPONSIBILITY. MOST TRANSPORT COMPANIES WILL GIVE A DISCOUNT IF THEY ARE HEADED TO NEW ENGLAND ANYWAYS. WILL HELP WITH LOADING ETC..
Serious inquiries only! This car means a lot to me and I will be happy to answer any questions. It's time for her to move on as lower back issues take their toll when getting and out!
