1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 on 2040-cars
Anahuac, Texas, United States
I bought this car in late 2018 as a low mileage “Barn Find”. I was planning to do a full restoration, but I moved out with my job and need to sell it.
This car was built on March 4, 1969, and is an original candy apple red, 4-speed, shaker hood, R-code 428 Cobra Jet
car. It has many original factory parts including, sheet metal, toploader transmission, glass, rear shocks &
springs, etc. Original factory paint daubs can be seen on leaf springs & the drive shaft. The block and heads are
not original; there is no VIN on the block which is date coded for May 1969, and the heads are date coded for June
1969. The original intake is date coded at February 4, 1969. It currently has a Hurst shifter. The interior is in
very good condition. The front seats do not have the Mach 1 red stripe insert, but date codes on the seat tags are
correct to the build date of the car. There is no corrosion at the inner fender-shock tower interface as seen on
many vintage Mustangs. While the Marti report does not indicate that the car came from the factory with a tach dash
and Traction-Lok rear-end, it has both; the date code on the tach dash circuit board is correct at January 29,
1969. VINs are present on both front inner fender aprons, window tag, door tag, and toploader transmission. The
rear window louvres are Ford period correct as they have the numbered louvres.
The car runs great

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
