Somehow it found its way to me. Not that I was looking for it. But there it is. A 69 Mach 1 (351-4V auto). I bought it from the family that bought it new - no kidding. Always a California car - built in San Jose then lived its whole live in East San Diego County where it's quite dry usually. So this car is solid and straight. It had been sitting more or less unused for a couple decades or so in a locked garage. But it didn't take a whole lot to get it running - and running good! But the suspension is tired and it needs paint and interior work and this and that.... But it sure is fun to look at. Even to a lifelong Porsche guy I have to say I like the look of this particular year Mustang.
I think it's headed towards a full suspension refresh probably with some modern bits to stiffen it up and lower it just a bit then some 16 inch period-looking wheels with modern rubber to make it enjoyable to drive. A mild resto-mod as they say.
Who else among the Porsche brethren here has had a 69 Mustang or close? Any Mach 1 or Boss 302 guys here?
