For sale is a 1969 Mustang Mach 1. I have owned for 20 years. It has all the original panels and had a complete rotisserie restoration about 8 years ago. This car originally came from Georgia in the mid 80's so had very little rust which has all been professionally repaired. This is an original very rare 1969 Champane Gold Mach 1 with a 351 Windsor and a manual transmission. Over $19,000 was spent on parts which I have receipts for. All wearable parts were replaced. After it was completed it won several first place awards at local shows. The body had about 75,000 miles on it before it was restored. The odometer was set back to zero when everything was rebuilt. It has about 6,000 miles on it since it was completely rebuilt.
I am the owner of a Mustang restoration business and this is my personal car. Our website is "Mustangcraftsmen.com". There are more pictures of the car on that site. I am also a mechanical engineer and a Master Certified Ford Service Manager. This car was restored as a driver and the chassis is painted with POR 15 which is not concourse correct but provides a durable coating for a driven car and seals out rust. All internal seams have been rustproofed. The engine is original and numbers matching. The original manual transmission has been replaced with a Tremec T5 5-speed. The 5 speed conversion and hydraulic clutch cost over $5,000.00. There are some minor modifications to make the car easier to drive and improve power which can be removed if desired. I have been a judge for several Mustang shows and have noticed a lot of '69 Mustang's for sale are not detailed correctly, however this one is.
The following is a list of pertinent information.
Body- All original panels, media blasted and repainted in it's original Champagne Gold in base with clear coat, rotisserie nut and bolt restoration, front spoiler, rear wing, rear window louvers, LED sequential tail lights, Magnum 500 wheels..
Engine - Original 351 W bored .030 over, larger valves, hand ported heads, comp cams extreme energy cam (gives increased power but retains a smooth idle), Pertronix ignitor, Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor with electic choke, Edelbrok aluminum intake manifold, short Headman headers, Dynomax mufflers and a larger radiator designed for an AC car (avoids overheating).
Transmission - Tremec T5 5-speed, Hurst shift handle, Centerforce clutch and hydraulic clutch mechanism.
Rear Axle - Original 9 inch rebuilt with Ford traction loc, 3.25:1 ratio.
Suspension - All new with grease fittings, larger front sway bar, rear sway bar added and KYB gas shocks.
Interior - All vinyl and carpeting replaced, new chrome plating of plastic on dash and clock bezel (cost $500), modern CD player and stereo (can be replaced with original radio if desired), tachometer on column, and bolt in door glass.
I restored this car to be a reliable driver and it has been driven enough to get all the problems resolved. I have taken it on several 300 mile trips. This is a 9 out of 10 car. This was restored to be enjoyed and used as a driver and not a concours show car. There are minor imperfections in the paint and it shows the use of being driven on summer weekends for the past several years. It could be brought to concours level but would require more detailing. I rebuilt this to drive and not have to be trailered everywere. This is a reliable classic Mustang that turns heads but does not require constant repairs like many other classic cars. When it is stored for the winter it starts right up every spring and is ready to go. The 5 speed transmission is a joy to drive, the 351 is much faster than stock, and the exhaust has a deep tone without being too loud.
If you would like any more information please email me at beardpa@aol.com or call Paul at 989-860-3948. I also have a car trailer and would consider delivering the car a reasonable distance for an additional fee.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.
2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.
