Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback

A 1969 Mustang Mach 1 in fastback form, an M-code car with the 351 V8 and four-barrel carburettor, paired with a four-speed Toploader manual gearbox. It is the sporting end of the first-generation Mustang range, and the manual gearbox is the better match for it.

The body and paint were redone by a previous owner, with photographs of the bare shell available. Very little bodywork was needed, and the floors are largely original, which points to a car that was rust-free before the work started. Correct Mach 1 bonnet scoop and spoiler are fitted, with a blacked-out bonnet and new side and rear decals.

Specification includes front discs, Magnum 500 wheels with white-letter tyres and high-back Mach 1 seats. New front upholstery, door panels and woodgrain dash trim have been fitted, with a replacement dash pad on order from America. A few light jobs remain, such as fitting weatherstrip, and the parts are in the boot. The car was due back from the paint shop before going on sale.
