I bought it with 87K original miles on it from a little old lady (no, really) in 1998. Since then I have completely restored it and put another 55K miles on it. It has won 25 awards for excellence at various car shows and has been featured in a newspaper article as well as serving as a prop in a San Francisco Brides magazine pictorial (the bride and groom's getaway car) and being one of the month cars in a 2011 Mustang calendar. IMHO, this is the last of the first generation Mustangs that still looked like the original Mustang concept. The front end still has the deep set headlights in the front fender extensions characteristic of the breed, and the car still shares the same wheel base and floor pan with the original 1965 Mustang. In April, 2009 we took it on a caravan with Mustangs Across America from home (Fremont, CA then) to Birmingham, AL for the 45th anniversary of the introduction of the Mustang put on by the MCA (Mustang Club of America). The car did the whole 5,200 mile trip without a mechanical problem. We did get caught in a wind downburst on the way home east if Rawlins, WY, however, that sandblasted my poor baby and required about $7K in paint, chrome, stainless and glass. It also survived a snow storm in central Nevada on that trip that had us running in heavy white stuff from Battle Mountain, NV to Reno. The first photo is just before the sandblasting and the third photo is when it was repainted as a result. The car had zero rust when they stripped it to bare metal. It's a great car.Feb 21, 2013

Acceleration great, braking is adequate, handling-well its 60's technology-so not so hot Has had a complete overhaul, but it is 40 years old, and has been well used It is the best looking of all the mustang body styles Gas mileage is quite good for a muscle car, mainetance has been ok outside of the rebuild-that was pricey The grin factor is high-hard not to look cool in the car-but was much more fun when I was younger-no AC or power steeringApr 25, 2009

The 7 litre engines tarmac wrinkling torque will launch you like a bat out of hell - in a straight line - the car won't corner properly for all the toffee in the world due to that massive lump of cast iron up front. Original classic car parts are expensive, Cobra Jet items ridiculously expensive, if available. There are a lot of reproduction parts that doesn't cost a fortune, some of them will even fit properly. At least 25 litres of petrol per 100 kms. Not exactly the type of car to have if you are on a budget. But ... it makes a lovely rumbling noise and turns heads like nothing else. It seems every man and woman on this planet has a Mustang memory to share. Jan 25, 2009

The -69 Mustang is the best looking Mustang in my opinion. This is the year when ford got it all right! I've tuned my 351 windsor engine to approximately 400 hp so the fun factor is there too. My car hit the streets this year after a 3 year restoration. The only negative with this car is the gas milage but that doesn't matter when I get many more smiles per miles. Jul 30, 2008

I got my 69 Coupe when i was 15, I put a stock 302 2 bbl with a C4 auto, I also upgraded the 6 cylinder rearend to an 8 in. rearend and put 5 lug spindles on the front. I also put a set of long tube headers with a set of cherry bomb header glasspacks. I also took the front sway bar off to get better traction. To date I have outran my buddys 79 corvette with a 350 that has a 4 bbl holley with long tube headers, and a 70 something corvette who randomly tried to outrun me one night. It also gets 15 mpg in town.Jun 20, 2008
