In the third year of the Chevy Camaro, the Ford Mustang was already on its third restyling. The 1969 Ford Mustang had its length increased by almost 4 inches, and the side scoop was replaced with a feature line. The 69 Mustang's windshield was steeper, and the fastback's (now officially known as the "SportsRoof") roof line was lowered by 9 inches. The 1969 Shelby GT-350 now came standard with a 351-ci, 290-horsepower Windsor V8. The GT-500 retained the same 428-ci Cobra Jet V8. Fewer 1969 Shelbys were available than originally anticipated, as government restrictions would limit some of the performance innovations that Shelby had wanted to get into his cars. As a result, many of the 1969 models had an emissions control unit, chin spoiler, and hood stripes added to turn them into 1970 models. race thr 69' dodge charger.
What owners say
"Owner feedback on the 1969 Ford Mustang is largely positive, with many praising its classic styling, performance, and nostalgic value. Drivers particularly loved the power and acceleration of their Mustangs, as well as the car's iconic design. However, some shared frustrations with maintenance costs and fuel economy, as many noted the car's tendency to consume gas and quirky mechanical issues."
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.
February 21, 2013Acceleration ....fast and cool Build quality....cant beet the old ones Appearance.....Beautiful Cost....needs a fuel tanker behind you Fun Factor....cant beat it, loads of fun Amazing car everybody should have one, car rebuilt and everything back to how it was when it left the factory by my hubby
October 26, 2008I´ve always had 66 mustangs but a few years I bought a 69 sportsroof and I am in the process of a ground up restoration. This specific body style loos like a Muscle Car due to its side air scoops, huge back side and really long hood. What else do you want in a car from this era. It even has the big engine...

July 6, 2007Grew up with this car. It has claimed the top spot as my all time favourite car. Lots of power, and its got a really mean look. argueably the second greatest thing, next to a Slayer concert, to cross my sights.
October 20, 2011One hell of a car. I miss it but remember, I know EVERYTHING that was wrong with it. Unfortunetly a BLOG is just one place to list the numerous mechanical problems. Love the car hate the repair bills.
March 29, 2008Great performance, shreds tires easily, gas mileage sucks, 6.5 in town, 11 on the road. Really gets attention everywhere you go. Maintenance is a snap, just have to pull the engine to change spark plugs,LOL. Love this car! It's totally awesome!!!!
March 14, 2011The 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.
January 25, 2009The -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.
July 30, 2008My fave car. But the doors sagged & it lacked a center console but it was fun to drive
May 16, 2008My 69 Mach 1 is the love of my life. It is stock with the exception of 15" Torque Yrust wheels. The car has all the options except for speed control. I drive it all the time and it never misses a beat, Its a great car.
