This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Checks All the Boxes
1969. Is there another year in modern American society that elicits more thoughts of freedom, chaos, and controversy? 1969 was, in many ways, a year to remember for most people alive at the time, and for good reason.
Music, sex, and rock and roll played the biggest roles in American culture in the late ’60s, but muscle cars were also at their peak. Beauties like this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 ruled the streets, and represented everything that was right with America at that time.
The video below, courtesy of RK Motors Charlotte, showcases a stunning red and black pony car. Judging by the video’s description and the robotic-sounding narrator, this Mach 1 is a restomod. As a result, underneath that vintage body, it sports all-modern drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and other interior goodies.
A restomod won’t necessarily fulfill every purist’s dreams, but they’re a great way to enjoy a classic muscle car without having to deal with any old-school reliability issues. In addition, this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a pristine toy that’s meant to be driven, and thoroughly enjoyed.
A 338 V8 Stroker motor with 475 horsepower propels this Mach 1 down the road with ease, and a C6 automatic transmission takes care of the rest. Oh, and so does the old-school Detroit Locker differential. It’s got all the right stuff!
If you’re looking for a highly desirable classic that doesn’t suffer from any of the classic reliability issues, this could be your ride.
